Re: minifig...dwarf mechanic...

That is one sweet fig, and I'd also like to say that you made a good use of the Dumbledore hair/beard and the Madame Hooch head.

Re: New Kingdoms sets at TRU!!

Definitely going to have to get down to Toys R Us sometime soon, especially since the PoTC sets are out now, too!

Re: Massive Hogwarts by Pilhan

Even though I'm not a fan of the Harry Potter series, I must say that I'm quite duly impressed with this build!

Re: Dojo

Nice work there! Definitely captures the look and feel of a Japanese Dojo (and yes, if anyone is curious, I have actually been to a real Japanese Dojo once or twice)... I was cringing at what looked like mutilation of the Series 3 Samurai legs, but then I saw how you did it and that it's reverseable...

Re: Samurai Warriors - WIP

That Japanese Castle is pure awesome sauce! I definitely have to say that is one of the better jobs of putting that raised baseplate to use that I've seen.

Re: New Castle Set #5929

Yes, I also recently picked up one of these handy sets, as others have said, definitely chock-full of useful parts (and a good torso).... As for the Helmet, it would be great for those seeking to replicate the old, classic, Yellow Castle era of Knights (iirc, they had light gray helms of this type),...

Re: What were your first Castle sets

My first set was Bandit Ambush. Such fond memories.... http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=6024-1 I actually have two of them! (they mostly went to contribute parts for my massive Japanese-styled post-apocalyptic castle, though.....) Those sets provided me with my first "elves" post-dark ...

Re: LEGO StarCraft Video

That was pretty epic! Definitely some awesome micro-scale stuff there, especially with the transforming Siege Tanks.

Re: The Decline of Lego Castle?

Even though the Fright Knights had my least favorite SETS, the figures (and parts as well) were actually quite useful (with some modifications, of course).... Especially now that I have access to various custom Mini-figure accessory vendors (BA, BF, Arealight, etc) and Brick Link... I actually liked...

Re: What were your first Castle sets

The first Castle sets I ever owned were the Forestmen's Hideout and the 1988 Castle Mini Figures.... Unfortunately, they got given away, along with most of the rest of my LEGOs when I went into my first Dark Ages from 1995-1997... The first Castle Sets I got when I came out of my Dark Ages were the ...

Re: Dubbing of the Minifigski Poles

That has got to be the best use of Belleville bricks in a more "normal" LEGO scene that I've ever seen! Good work!

AAAAHHH!!!!! Tonberry!! *W-Summons Knights of the Round* ....Err, nice work on that fig. Definitely looks like one of those evil, sadistic, party-killing fiends I remember all too well from the Final Fantasy Series. ;) ...Although a BrickArms "Glaive" would look more like the Tonberry's &q...

Excellent Drow City... I also like how you did the window decorations. Oh, the English expressions that would most closely fit the meaning of "Pesnika sloboda" would be "Artistic License" (in this case where you are re-creating something's looks or form) or "Poetic License&q...

Re: Skeleton tomb - Wolfpack castle

Good work on the micro-scale castle... Especially how you used the Treasure Chest to build the cathedral.
