Interesting poll. However the last two sets aren't really "Majisto" sets. They have a good wizard, but its a completely different fig from Majisto.

Has TLG ever given a name for that new fig aside from "Good Wizard?" I'll admit that Majisto does have a great ring to it, and keeping that name (or something clearly related to it) would be a nice nod to Castle sets of old.

I don't think any of the new Castle figures were named. Named characters was a very 1990's thing for LEGO.

yes you could say that, but the good wizard does look like an updated version of majisto and im saying this because its good to keep the spirit of majisto alive :) . And thats why I dont understand why after the millenium there where wizard sets but they wernt majisto :cry: sets but they look very identical.

That's because Lego moved on. There were also sets with knights, but they weren't Black Falcons...
(And no! Jayko is not a Black Falcon. And he does especially not carry the spirit of them.)
but they look very identical.
No, they don't.

Look the wizard sets do look similar just updated and im talking about the actual minifig. And the poll isnt flawed :mad: , just an area of discussion for the sets. Also how dare you say my theory is to unscientific to be taken seriousley :mad: , have you ever heard of the saying 'think outside the box' ... well thats what im doing.

Easy, son…

Well, I admit all wizards with white beards and blueish robes look remotely similar. But then again, why should all white-bearded Lego wizards now have to be Majistos, for evermore? Why would those wizards be globally uniform characters with names never to be changed? Why not think outside this box?

gormadoc1,

Since I helped in the brainstorming idea sessions for Castle 2007, I can tell you that there were ideas for a Good Wizard and Evil Wizard. This is why the Wizard is called The Good Wizard ( http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=5614-1 ). He is part of an entirely different version of Castle sets than Dragon Masters and is not specifically named Majisto.

A more interesting question is the identity of a magnet figure in this set:

http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=M428-1

He looks much like Majisto but has a grey beard and trans-neon green wand.

I understand what your saying and i'm sorry for being so rash in my last post. The question that you have posted; I have thought about and I think that keeping it the same could give it the uniform look but I just want to keep the spirit of majisto alive. You never know you could say that the good wizard was his cousin or something like that. As long as wizard sets exist then i'm happy :D .
