Re: Lego Castle turns 35
Your point about landscaping is an interesting one, but I'm not sure I agree. Sure, when I think 'Classic-Castle', I usually think of sets that are just a castle, or just a cart, or just a piece of wall: http://www.1000steine.com/brickset/thumbs/tn_10039-1_jpg.jpg http://www.1000steine.com/brickset...

Re: CC Set Review: 6011 Black Knight's Treasure
This set was before my time--literally: it came out two years before I did! It's also a set that I've never acquired or had the pleasure of knowing in person, but it's a simple enough set that I don't think I'm missing much of the experience. This set really illustrates the changes that have taken p...

Re: Lego Castle turns 35
Well, there are at least 2 points where The Lord of the Rings fails as a Castle theme for me--and I say this as a diehard Tolkien fan who has so far been VERY impressed by the sets LEGO has released in that theme. First, from the perspective of a LEGO fan, there is no getting around the fact that Th...

Re: CCCX Fantasy Fig - Knight Of Ni
I was always under the impression that all CCC entries should be in the MOC forum? If not, c'est la vie and sorry for posting in the wrong place m'lords! :tasty: Not a big deal--we're here to fix it. I'm not sure how rigorously the distinction is policed, since the CCC is always a time when there i...

Re: The Tales of Arlis Wolfstar
I not only wish to commend the story, but the excellent proper usage of the different CC forums. Linking here from the MOCs Forum where you have lots of story is precisely what we like to see. You set an excellent example for the LCC community generally. Thank you, sir. ~Formendacil - Moderator P.S....

Re: LCC, A Meeting by the Sea. {Part 1 of GC2}
Mark, that is an excellently constructed MOC; the swinging bridge in particular is well-executed and I think I recognise a familiar style in the ocean--so it pains me to have to interrupt the praise of this MOC to critique your posting style a little bit. Bearing in mind that the stickied thread I'm...

LCC Crossposting Guidelines
Hello everyone, I wrote most of this post in a specific topic , but as I said there, this isn't something that I want to single out a particular LCCer for, but something that I'd like to bring to the attention of everyone. As I said there, the Classic-Castle staff is glad to see activity in the MOCs...

Ok, yeah, I can see where you're coming from. So now I've edited my post. Is that what you meant? If so, I'll be sure to actually include some context in my posts! :) This: This is for the Outlaw's Local Challenge 6 - BarFight Challenge for The Lands Of Classic Castle.

Re: LCC-LC6 Outlaws- BarFight- The Competition
On the topic of "Character Stats," I would like to make the suggestion--and not just for ZacharyIslazy , but for all the LCCers--that you make a distinction between posting a MOC in the MOCs Forum and posting on the LCC threads in the Stories forum. The Classic-Castle staff is glad to see ...

Re: LotR sets revealed!
Anybody having quality issues on the bricks in the LotR sets so far? I know there's reporting of minifig issues, but just wanted to see if the quality of the bricks are also impacted.... I have two LotR sets--Attack on Weathertop and Uruk-hai Army--and regarding both of them I have no quality compl...

Re: New member and castle collection pics
I'll add to the welcome--and move this thread to the Announcements forum, where it belongs; the Castle forum is specifically for discussing official LEGO sets.

Re: 1592 stickersheet resolution/size
Well, honestly, your best option is really to just do some trial runs by yourself. I doubt if there's more than a handful of people on this site--if anyone at all--who's ever printed that, and they may not remember what they did. Start with your best guess and then adjust larger or smaller until you...

Re: Grandfather's Tale *Update 13/06/12*
I read most of the chapters some time ago as a CC "lurker" but now that I have finally joined CC I can say "Bravo!" These are fun to read and I like how you keep the picture-setting relevant but not overdone. The side comments and questions from the kids are cute, and I am rooti...

Re: Grandfather's Tale *Update 13/06/12*
It continues to be slow going between chapters (grad school and wedding plans don't help), but Chapter 13 is up! No promises on upcoming chapters, but as I have the summer "off" (no school, wedding done), it will hopefully not be so long before the next chapter. As the folder is not modera...

Re: Helm's Deep - Treat Yourself
I just got the LEGO catalog with the new LOTR sets, and they have a picture of all the minifigs, and I can't help but wonder: where is Eowyn? Haldir, but no Eowyn? Maybe it's just my chromosomes speaking, but I'm disappointed. I would guess they're saving her for the second wave of LotR sets (Minas...
