Hmmm... I must admit, I wasnt looking forward to these new sets coming out (the fantasy doesnt appeal to me). However, I do like the dwarves. Their shield design seems to imply that they are subjects of the crown knights. The goblin/orc things are somewhat interesting, but the weapons are fairly lam...

My family background is Scottish/German (with a tad of French Canadian), I think it is a natural part of being interested in my family history to be interested in the middle ages. I am actually currently working on a custom lego faction which would utilise my family coat of arms. Like I said... I th...

Sidewinderl- I agree with you about that battle damage wall. If I planned on doing anything other than keeping the castle intact for display I would put some wall pieces in there and be done with it. The rolling walkway and the cantilever tower off of the main tower are weak as well. I had put some ...

I love the current 2007 lineup. I dont like the skellies, but hey they are something for kids to play with. The Crown Knights have become my new faction of choice and I have been working on several projects for them, I love the colors and the torsos. As for 2008, I just hope that the impulse sets wi...

Just as a quick note... If you dont already have this set BUY IT NOW! I had been drooling over it for a while, but in an attempt to be a responsible husband and father, I figured my family could use the money elsewhere. Luckly, I have an awesome wife who bought it for my birthday. I put it together ...

I for one support Walmart. I, at one point, personally experienced the great support they offer their employees in certain areas (although I am no longer employed by them), so I am a little biased. On the economic side of things Walmart isnt the problem with many of these toys lines... the manufactu...

I actually thought that a human driver would be nice so as to appeal to people who like more realistic castle sets. Goblins attacking a dwarf would make it like most every other set in the 2008 line up. Honestly, I would even like it if it was a peasant driving. I came up with a prototype set using ...

I would like to see a set in the $10 range include a cart or something of similar interest. I know Lego wants conflict in every set, so it seems like it would be possible to give a Crown Knight a small cart like http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/archives/6010.html with some supplies and have a gobl...

I cut my teeth on 6080 Kings Castle, so I am not very impressed by the Fright Knights, I find them rather silly. The Dragon Masters sets and Wolfpack Tower were the last sets I bought prior to my dark age. My older brother continued buying castle though so I have some exposure to these guys through ...

Legoredux, I will grant you that it is nice to see more factions available, and that will benifit the more fantasy inclined... here is my "however" if this line runs like recent castle lines have, then next year only these new sets will be available from major retailers. For fans (esp. chi...

Hello everyone... this is my first post, but I have been lurking for years. I can hold my opinion no longer. Am I the only one who thinks that these sets are straying from the classic castle style that we have been praying Lego will go back to? - To me the mining operation is ok as a sub-theme set. ...
