Couple of questions: Is micro-scale only allowed in the miscellaneous categories and Micro Siege? 1. The other categories should be minifig scale. You can however use microscale as a forced perspective background in a minifig scale entry. For the Video Game Castle category, do you need to build an ...

Thank you for sharing. The architectural details are superb. I especially like the gothic doorways and rose window.

Hi Sim, I am fairly certain that 6067 only came in the European style box without a piece count and in the Samsonite Canada version. It is my understanding that this set was mainly sold in the US from Shop at Home and limited retail outlets. Other sets like 6011, 6023, and 6055 likely also only have...

This is a really nice little windmill. I like the sails, wall texture, and windows.

This is a nice little moc. I like the blue tile roof, wall texture, dock, water, 1x3 tile stairs, angled jail, and door handles. I have also used the yellowed bricks as accents for pirate fort walls. The technique works well. Thanks for sharing.

Ben

Your moc has many great details. I like the bridge above the waterfall, the grill brick stairs, and microscale fall trees using the spikes and hair pieces. Thanks for sharing.

Ben

Thank you for sharing. I like many of the details including the arched roof cut out in back, the sheathing under the roof shingles, and how the foundation extends into the ground. My only recommendation would be to add a stone, tile, or wood plank floor on the interior lowest level. If the builders ...

Your moc looks great. I particularly like the birch tree technique.

Ben

I can't believe someone has not done this before. The micro dragons work very well.

Nelson,

Your castle has a nice retro style. I see the club's 2x4 green brick was put to good use.

My initial thought is this ideas entry is too similar to Minecraft sets. LEGO probably would not want a new product which competes against a brand they are already selling.

Ben

Congratulations to all of the winners! Thank you to all of the participants in the Colossal Castle Contest. Taking the time to build so many fantastic creations is great for the Lego castle community. I also want to thank all the generous donors who help each year. Your help makes this contest possi...

Dungeons and Dragons would probably work best as a LEGO Ideas set. Personally I prefer in house designed themes over licensed themes. The licensed lines do add quite a bit in terms of new elements, colors, fig design, etc which TLG used to add to their in house themes in the 1980's and 1990's.

Btw, are not-minifig-scale things allowed in all categories (micro or, which is what I am particularly interest in; larger then minifig)? I recall the rules on scales were a little specific last year? And I'm assuming that the custom knight and squire category has got to be minifig. The admins will...
