Re: Heroica/Ninjago mix

I too wish a Heroica-type castle theme had come to life. Your four minifigs are awesome prototypes. Never say never, or so someone once said.

Re: Life in Nordheim

Wow! Gorgeous overall design and lots of fun details PLUS sophisticated building techniques. I would imagine this took sooooooo many hours of planning and experimenting. Only in my dreams would I come up with all this in one display. :cry: A tip of the hat to you.

Re: 71040 Disney Castle

Well it's beautiful from a distance and as Bruce points out has marvelous little details reminiscent of movies/scenes we know as well as a few puzzlers. It's not something I will buy given my limited budget and building interests, but I admire it immensely nonetheless. I hope they sell 10 million of...

Re: Caradhras

Very nice job capturing the feel of the scene. I had to zoom in close to see how you put the figures "under" the snow. Looks like you used the minifigs and just build white bricks around them as close as possible?

Re: What do people think of the new BURPs?

MURPs will have their uses, different uses for different types of builders. I use BURPs and LURPs consistent with Lego castle set designs, so these may fit into some builds as well.

Re: Celje Hall

Impressive replica. Did you calculate and draw a scale design before undertaking the build?

Re: CCC XIII Dracula Castle

I love it. The vibe of the place, no doubt the result of the painstaking attention to detail, is just right. Wish I had such mad skills. I would suggest it is really a towerhouse rather than a castle, but that is just nit-picking quibbling. :wave:

Re: New LOTR custom headgear

Very nice. I especially like the elf helmet. I'll have to check our your bricklink store. The projections on the two awesome Gondorian helmets look like they might have stability / breakability problems?

Re: Hailstone Point

Nicely done. I especially like the rock construction on the hillside and the use of curves and angles in the rest of the design. Hope a sunny day doesn't spoil all their work! :D

Re: Nexo Knights in 2016 - Official pics!

I agree with Maedhros. The good guy futuristic knights do not much for me (other than the king and queen), but the bad guy lava dudes have real possibilities, in particular, the black mini-balrog (I don't know what his Lego-given name is). I doubt I'll buy any sets, but I suspect some Bricklink shop...

I see some useful parts there, but the angry birds would get eaten for dinner by my knights and villains. :D

Re: New Elf and Gondor Helmets

I'm not much interested in the Gondorian helmet, but I am always on the lookout for elf-themed helmets, and this looks like it could be a winner. Keep up the great customizing efforts!

Re: Collectible Minfigures Series 15

Lots of useful minifigs and parts for me since I have an medieval-fantasy Euro-Asian world. The Satyr's legs are awesome and I like the hairpiece on the wrestler for a barbarian minifig. Great job with this series Lego!
