Re: BOOM! "The Hobbit" Minifigs Revealed!!

Wow! Real nice.

I especially like Bombur's hat. :)

Edit: Of course I mean Bofur, Bombur doesn't have a hat.

Re: News: Death of the Classic Horse

Hi guys, I posed my LEGO horse generations from 1978 to 2012 side by side, if you want to check it out. :) http://questforbricks.wordpress.com/201 ... -portrait/

It does strike me how small the new horse and the minifigure sitting on it seem compared to the old ones.

Re: News: Death of the Classic Horse

Thank you for an informative topic, guys. Finally got my first two new LEGO horses this week from Lord of the Rings sets. I do like the rearing up of the new horse, and it does seem pretty realistic in proportions, but the smaller head takes some getting used to. Also the barding looks quite big and...

Re: Building a 6080 King's Castle from spare parts

Re: Building a 6080 King's Castle from spare parts

Hi guys, it has been a while, just a quick note to let you know the castle-building project is still alive and well. :) I have finally gotten started on building the actual castle. It may take a while, since I am still waiting for most of my parts. Several new updates are on the blog: http://questfo...

Re: Building a 6080 King's Castle from spare parts

I believe I already have 6061 - in pieces probably. Its bricks will probably go into the 6080 King's Castle, though. :) We shall see what else I might build afterwards, honestly don't know yet... I am currently waiting for my first parts orders to arrive. In the meanwhile I got the new orange Brick ...

Re: Building a 6080 King's Castle from spare parts

Thank you for the fantastic response and solid advice. I agree that I have to find a good balance on piece acquisition - keep it suitably spontaneous so that this stays a fun learning project, but sound enough so that I won't go bankrupt before the castle is finished (and preferably not after it is ...

Building a 6080 King's Castle from spare parts

Hello all! I stumbled across this fine forum today in my quest to reacquaint myself with LEGO (and indeed the AFOL aspects of it). I am currently building a 6080 King's Castle from other childhood LEGO sets and new brick purchases as my pilot project. I never had this particular castle, so it will b...
