Oh, what a great set. I was never very keen on forestmen sets back when they were available, and now it's another LEGO regret, and the list only seems to get longer as I age. Hopefully this will be resurected as a Legend some day.

My all-time favorite faction, and one of the biggest mistakes TLC made as far as what they did with it. Overall, I like the design of the tower, though, if it was 3X the size that would have been nice. I was always under the impression that this was is in a hidden lake some where and that they didn'...

I thought these were only available in EU? If they are in the US, then where are they or when will they be out in stores?

Excellent work. A bit short on details, but easily corrected. I just can't wait to see the multi-level dungeon. The fact that it is modular will make it one to behold.

Simply amazing. Your attention to detail and the fact that you even created a background story are a testament to the many hours of hard work that went in to building this model. It is very obvious that you cut no corners, nor did you spare any expence. True dedication.

A really terrible castle. The only thing this base plate is good for is making a street scene with shops on top of small hills and a road going through the middle. Whoever said they would give this a higher score now then back then has not lived too long, because usually when we talk about "the...

I am coming from Utah, so this is not just a drive down the street for me. Also, should those attending plan to see other attractions in the...

I think I have between 300-400 minifigs. But when I find that 5998 Vladek in the poly bag, my figure count will increase exponentially. :lol: My biggest faction thus far is still Black Knights. I have about 90 of these I would guess. No stickers either. And I have no sets older than 1986. Shadow Kni...

I haven't thought of a real good use for the "jelly bean" knights, but, as I've brought out in many of my other posts, I am an avid Shadow Knights fan. I love there colors, the new helmets, thier shield design, and thier facial expressions. I bought 20 of the Vladek's Attack Kit when it wa...
