We castle fans appreciate the new additions to online PAB including european armor and crossbows. One of my Ambassadorial duties is to gather fan feedback on programs such as LEGO Factory.

I know that we would like additional castle elements in LEGO Factory. Please fill out the poll above and leave comments about which element(s) you would most like to see added. I will pass this information along to LEGO. There is no guarantee that any new castle elements will be added, but asking can not hurt.

Note: LEGO Factory elements are found in other currently available sets. Therefor the poll selections are all elements found in 7094 King's Castle Siege. If there is another element you would prefer, please select Other, and write it in below. Thank you.

I take it "yes please to all of the above" isn't an option...

I voted shields.

To me a little bit of thought, as I would love to see several of the above items available from PaB. But when it comes to it, shields seem to be the least include, and most needed in my army.

I'd love to see the bow and arrows added as well, along with kettle helms (I love those things!).
But Shields are what I'd want more than all the rest.

Arrrggghhh! No lances. I'm drowning in lances. :D

It's the classic short sword for me. If I could only own one type of weapon, it would have to be this.

I voted for Flared Helms, but either kind would be nice. I've got more weapons than men right now. :roll:

Edit: now that I think about it, I should have voted for Kettle Helms, because they go with the torso in PaB.

Shields would be nice, as many of the sets seem to have a lack of them.

Yeah, would be cool if PHPBB supported a bit more robust polling mechanism for this type of thing... Like if I could simply downvote lances, that would be a more accurate representation of how I feel on this one-- not that I don't want Lances, but I want just about all the other things to be offered equally. It'd be handy to have something that allowed you to rate each one on a scale from 1 to 10 in terms of how much you wanted it or something.

Heh, I just pity the poor admins who have to tally things up manually in that case. Not to mention that people often forget things when answering (like flails!) And SO often, this would help in PHPBB polls. If I weren't already behind on my Lego programming tasks, I'd volunteer to take a look at building something for C-C for creating more in-depth polls.

I built one for work once that took an XML document and created a pretty robust poll as a result. Text answers, multiple choice, checkboxes, rate-each-thing, put the possible answers in order, etc, etc. Not really all that difficult (although tricky to tie into the user auth system for PHPBB), and very useful. Anyway, Willy Tschager would probably kill me if I started working on some OTHER Lego programming project before the one I promised is done!

But in the meanwhile, sure:

Broadsword - 8/10
Bow & Quiver - 8/10
Lance - 1/10
Spear - 7/10
Shield - 8/10
Pointed Visor - 9/10
Kettle Helm - 7/10
Flared Helm - 10/10
Flail - 6/10
Other:Evil Helm - 10/10 (BEST. HELMET. EVER.)

I've voted for kettle helm, if only to actually be able to complete a Castle minifig through PaB shopping. I'd appreciate the addition of any of these elements though i think we all would as Castle fans.

Oh, and because all the cool kids are doing it, here's an out of ten desirability list. :wink:

Shortword: 8/10
Bow and Quiver: 4/10
Lance: 0/10
Spear: 6/10
Shields: 10/10
Pointed Visor: 10/10
Kettle Helm: 10/10
Flared Helm: 8/10

I voted for the kettle helm. However if all of the above had been a choice I definately would have picked it. :wink: The only one that I am uncaring about is the lance.
