I think that King's Castle is the best built(that is why I checked it), but it is bley. King Leo's Castle is grey, and the second best built. I would have King's castle already if it wasn't bley :( . I can't say a lot, because King Leo's castle was the castle that I first started to save up for(I didn't get allowance at the time, so it was taking a long time).

Anyway, I think that this is a great topic, and I hope that you get good results.

Hands down King's castle! I really can't think of anything else to say.

For me this was a very hard decision , but I've decided that Kings Castle is slightly better design-wise than Castle of Morcia.

So Castle of Morcia runs out right away...

Well I have to choose between King Leo's Castle and the updated one...
I choosed King's Castle 'cause it has more figs,and more parts (even if they're all bley)
Heya,we must give a TLC pat on a back'cause they're going in right direction with this one :wink:

10176 Classic-Castle (using the European name) is much better than castle of Morcia and slightly better than King Leo's Castle. It certainly has a lot of basic bley bricks, a large number of nice figures, and a completely enclosed design on all sides.

I think you left off the best of the current crop of KK castles, 8877 Vladek's Dark Fortress. There just seems more that you can do with it than the "good guys" trio of castles.

I think it was purposely left off of this poll because it is not built on a raised baseplate. Castles without raised bases almost always have better designs and better bricks and plates to build with.

For me, this was only a contest of two. I thought Morcia was horrible. Of the other two, I like Leo's a little bit better, if only because it uses old gray.

To be honest, I think this poll is a little unfair. 10176 is a larger and more expensive castle than either 8781/6098. Also, it includes more quality/quantity all around because it has to stand as the only set in its theme, whilst the other two have smaller sets to reinforce them. So I'm just going to pit 8781 and 6098 against eachother.

to be finished when I come back

That's interesting, I never thought of it that way, but when you say that it does seem to be a little unfair.

I voted for 6098 but with all do fairness I haven't seen 10176 built yet so I might change my mind.

I vote for Leo's castle. Why? It is the only one with 1) a cannon that works 2) classic swords 3) good figs and most importantly 4) A BOW! AND QUIVER!!

Honestly, that is my favorite of the three. Now if you go back a couple years... :roll:
