For me, its a hard choice. For some things it would be an organ like the one used in Bach's Tocatta fugue in D minor (classic Dracula music), but not sure if available in the time frame given. Lutes/recorders are great and harps as well. Depending if voice is considered as an instrument - nothing se...

I liked the set. I explained why the catapult differed from others as a sort of cultural difference, as in how european swords differ from arabian swords. Another example would be how US Sherman WWII tanks differed from German Panzers. Maybe this catapult has more speed in deployment on/off the batt...

I would hope that not only it would be a castle theme but one could choose your faction from all of the previous factions, not just be limited to the recent ones. They might just use the "Crown" knights to make the programming easier and hopefully try to sell more of the actual brick sets....

These are very nice, very creative. Should give the "crown" knights something to think about.

I have them, like all Castle sub themes(Lions,Falcons,Dragons, etc), as their own separate nation. When I started playing with Castle sets thats when I read LOTR for the first time(around twelve in 1980). So, natually I wanted someone to have a more elven backround. They are not 100% elven. In my wo...

I find the arguements for one Wizard or the other academic. True, one can sum up how lego portrays each of them(army count, dragon count) but then how do you assign power values to each others dragons for example? Is the necro's dragons more powerful because they are bigger? If the Necro's dragons a...

Hello All, I joined up last night. I have been a fan of lego since I was around seven but luckily I was just old enough for the yellow castle(twelve, I think) and I was hooked for life. The yellow castle, the Galaxy Explorer, and main street are all time favorties. After a few more space and town se...

I think the new line is a step in the right direction, it will take some time to get used to the shinny armor. KKII was too much like power rangers but the black armors had some uses. I still don't like lego using "bionicle" material for swords,helms, etc, it gives the line a cheaper feel....

Hello All, I am new to CC and while I am not new to lego, I am new to taking pictures of them. I look and see all the nice avatar pics I decided to make one of one of my figs but can't get the resolution right. Better put, I took some pics earlier but when I tried sizing them down they became out of...
