Ah shucks, fellows, you're all too kind. I'll try my best to uphold the high standards my fellow Mods and the Admins have set.

Quite possibly perhaps.

Dan

Why a new hat? First off, it's probably a one piece element for the hat and hair and secondly, Jack's hat is iconic. I for one would have been disappointed if they'd have used the old hat. Besides, if it's not one piece, a second style of tricorn is a welcome addition. Okay, if it is a one piece el...

So tell me Lego, why did you reinvent the wheel? Why did you create a new piece for Jack's hat, when the old piece is almost exactly the same? Surely you don't think kids can't tell who the character is without creating a special hat for him?

Oh Lego...

the fact of the matter is thanks to this thread i ordered the set and i got it today :D Hey, glad to know we inspired you to buy it. How you enjoy it. Let us know. Personally, I don't think it's off topic to wonder how the results of the search compare to the company's sales. Just some comparing. D...

Welcome Taylor. As to your question, in just about every instance I use baseplates. I personally don't understand at all how someone can think they are limiting (yes Ben, I mean you :wink: ). Well, with builds smaller than say...32x32 aside. While the finished product might not end up having any of ...

Very cool, and very well thought out. It is a brilliant horse. The shape, and articulation is just spot on! There is something a bit awkard looking on the minifig's waist area, but still a fine, fine job.

Well, the time has come. The votes are in, polls are closed, and the tally is done. The Greatest Castle Set of All Time, as nominated and voted by you, is: #10193 Medieval Market Village http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/images/preview/10193/10193_box_in_frontb.jpg There you have it folks.

Stares at the pics

Uh...

Stares some more...

Um...

Stares a bit longer.

Are you sure there is even any Lego here? And yes, that is a retorical question.

Nowhere wasn't descriptive enough; my brain was searching for names, and I yanked two names out of my mind from two different sources. Burgess is the last name of a fellow I know, and, well, your last name jumped into my head too. If you'd like us not to use it, that's fine. If not, then I promise ...

If they had given the movie a different name, it would have been very good. While it was a fairly decent flick...it really lacked anything to do with me (Robin Hood that is). Pity.

Oh, and Russel Crowe....not the best rendition of me. Not by a long shot.

Completely nowhere? Sorry, my curiosity has been piqued now. I have to know if you happened to get any inspiration for Joosten from....anywhere...

With 9 votes, or 7.4% of them, is: #6074 Black Falcon's Fortress - Nominated by Blueandwhite http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/images/OOP/1986/6074.jpg Since there hasn't been a nomination for it yet...

So as of now, the first round of voting is over and done with. I'll get the final nominees figured out here quickly, and post them for your consideration tomorrow. Thanks to all who voted in the first round.

In fact, it was that lack of practical reasoning that lead many AFOLs to subscribe to the conspiracy theory that the colors were changed for a practical reason that was not made public- :roflol: Oh man....I find that sentance so, so very, amusing. We have our on conspiracy theorys now too......haha...
