Unfortunately, they discontinued it. I can't remember all the reasons that they gave, but I know that one was the difficulty of remaking the elements because many of them aren't in the current production runs. The reason I got from Jamie Berard was that not enough AFOLs were buying them. I expect A...

I don't think they've made a skeleton that I like through-and-through yet. Heads: I definitely like the old-style heads the best. They were expressionless and gaunt, the way I'd prefer them. Newer skeleton heads are a little more over-the-top evil, or even "animated" in the case of the Und...

Castle set I own the most copies of: 4811 Defense Archer - 21 copies Castle set that when combined got me the most pieces: 6097 Night Lord's Castle - 6 copies (3588 pieces from that set) Castle set that when combined got me the most minifigs: 6074/10039 Black Falcon's Fortress - 4 original copies, 4...

Well I have not seen this thread since joining so I figured I would post this. I do recall having a discussion on it a little over a year ago: http://www.classic-castle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18608 I think I still stand by my vote of the Grand Tournament, with some close competitors. DaveE

I only have one S@H catalog from that era (USA 1987), and it's listed there as item "T-9" or "T-8" for $8.75. Description: Give your favorite builder an official LEGO t-Shirt! Two silk-screened designs and styles in 50% cotton-50% polyester. Youth sizes: Small (6-8), Medium (10-1...

Well to answer your question it is actually Vladek's Dark Fortress which was released in 2005 with 983 pieces Huh-- LUGNET, Classic-Castle, and Peeron say that Vladek's Dark Fortress had 967 pieces, but BrickSet says 983. King's Castle Siege reportedly had 973 pieces, which would make it "bigg...

I don't see why everyone dislikes the Fright Knights so much though They're cartoony evil bordering on dumb. The logo is silly, the Bat Lord is over-the-top "evil", as is Willa the Witch. Night Lord's castle even has a red "witch's hat" on the tower. And the Bat Lord holds some ...

Technically, this was also true of the KKI family, although maybe King Leo was red-haired in his youth:

King Leo
Queen Leonora
Princess Storm

My personal favorites: 1) 6080 King's Castle 2) 6086 Black Knight's Castle 3) 10193 Medieval Market Village As for stats on this thread in particular, and counting ONLY sets that received MORE than 1 vote, if we award 1 point for any set that received a vote (any rank): 13 Medieval Market Village 7 ...

Huh! I've never tried that before. That's the concave side of the bend or the convex side?

DaveE

little bit of heat from your oven might help too. Bake element, low heat and keep an eye on it! I recall watching someone boiling LEGO bricks in water which started to deform the bricks? So I'm guessing that it's somewhere in the 150F-200F degree ballpark where you might get the plastic to a point ...

I was under the opinion that most of the online PAB pieces were left over from production runs of standard sets. Well-- I think it's the same idea, with a different slant to it. I think it's more along the lines of: "We have to make part X for sets A, B, and C. We need 200,000 of them for set ...

But it sounds like there are plenty of people who find Design-by-Me to be worth it, and I'm probably among a minority. From what I've heard, LEGO has been looking for ideas to make DBM more attractive-- presumably because the prices are far higher than normal LEGO costs, and most people won't pay f...

I actually remember it being used here:
