Hello! A little off-topic, but did you know that every US president is related to Charlemagne? Weird, huh? Yeah... sure. In the same way every potentate in the Arabian world is related to Mohammed. And, surprise, I got ancestors in the middle ages, too! We owned some stuff then. And every single per...

Hello! Since the concept of "nations" as we know them today does not apply to most if any territories in mediaeval times, the question is void... For instance, the "Holy Roman Empire", whose coat of arms indeed was the Eagle (in Lego: the Black Falcon), incorporated Northern Ital...

Hello! You mean: Which one I dislike the least? From the Original Four anyway? I really can't decide. I liked the style of visor for Rascus, though. Unfortunately, of all things the Rascus-visor was not also produced in a decent colour. Sometimes Lego (the company) really does it all wrong. Sir Rasc...

Hello! I’m surprised by your position on this set; it was my favorite of all the chess sets. I know you don't think much of the well used term army builder but that is what I think chess is; two opposing armies. If you know I'm not an army builder, then why are you surprised? ;-) For me the other tw...

Hello! Is there any kind of glue remover that won't harm the paint on the torsos or melt the plastic like acetone does? Unfortunately no. The kind of glue Lego uses is not a glue that simply sticks two elements together. It rather solves the surface of both components and fuses them together. It’s i...

Hello! Why does everybody seem to hate the wand? It’s a wand, for Simon’s sake! The same kind that’s used by sorcerers in the Harry Potter world. (Which would be some kind of England.) I like the set. The wizard is a nice figure, the furniture places him in a somewhat cozy environment. It sure isn’t...

Hello! In my opinion this is the worst of all the Chess sets. Other Chess sets are partly glued as well, but in this case every single minifig was glued. And since glueing a thousand figs for ... (let me reckon)... a lot of copies of this set must be quite a piecework, the actual craftmansship was p...

Hello! (Unnecessary, blurry and huge pics not included.) :wink: True words. I guess one reason for BrickShelfs capacity problems be lots and lots of uber large pictures (that, coincidentally, often are unnecessary anyway). And it's annoying looking at such pictures, too. I really got a decent intern...

Hello!

Cool, thank you!

Hello! I noticed that the Minifig book states that the Wolfpack is an evil offshoot of the forestmen. Yeah, but you really cannot take the stories in this book seriously. They also state that the Greedo minifig was only available in Benelux. I wonder which joker provided them with that ..erm.. infor...

Hello!

Since I'm not any good at coding myself, I let Wikipedia do the explanation:

Hello! [Same as subject line] I have a favourites bar in my browser that shows an icon for every favourite. Except for Classic-Castle, which is how I immediately find CC: By looking for the blank/iconless favourite. ;-) However, it would be nice if CC had an icon as well. The blue rimmed red and whi...

Hello! But still, we do need to keep in mind when complaining about their choices that they are doing what is best for them. Everything you said is true. But then again it’s not our task nor our hobby to applaud them for making money. It’s fine if they do, my hobby, though, is not to watch Lego maki...

Hello! ”Hey, evil men-eating wizard-driven undead skeleton, let’s joust it out like civilised ..erm... beings!“ – ”’kay.“ While I like this set, I don’t think it’s great. Sure, from the outparting point of view it’s a bunch of some useful (and some less useful) pieces. But as for the model itself it...

Hello! Classic factions were like old continental Europe; many realms. The Crownies are a fantasy Dark Ages product, and in many of those you have single kingdoms of focus beset by many trials. These guys are being overrun by death and chaos. Thus the humans in their desperation have united and put ...
