Hello everyone
I've found the Star Wars set 7184, of which I immediately thought: wow, these
parts can be very useful in building structures (houses or castle). Normally
they cost here in the Netherlands ca. $64,50 but they are now (in some shops)
for half the price! So I've bought myself one beautiful set for only $32,25!
You can imagine how happy I am with another beautiful set (FOTD)!
My question (same as one before): are there any examples of using these
elements in buildings?
I have some ideas, but getting other impulses is never wrong.
Bye
Daan

Oh, I can imagine that all right!!!

Well, I'm waiting to find it on sale, and that won't happen for a while yet...
and I'm sure I'm not the only one olding my horses for this otherwise fabulous
set. :-)

Well, I'd love to see your ideas put into action!!
And anyhow, most SW sets are great for castle building.

I haven't been able to find this set on sale here yet (Central NY state)...I
would probably buy a couple to add to my structures...I could rally use alot
of the brown plates and elements...
I have bought a few 7144 Slave-1s on sale also...this set offers some great
slopes and green parts for Castle/hill/mountain creations...

I agree,I like the SW sets, but I find myself taking duplicate sets and
adding these parts to my Castle parts...lol

Which brings me to the basic question: which sets do you think are useful in
building Castle? (Of course every LEGO set qualifies ;-))

P.S.: thanks to John Robert Blaze Kanehl and Shiri Dori for answering my

Like you said - pretty much every set qualifies...
I find the SW sets as awesome resources for castle parts and population. Town
and trains are normally less helpful, but on occasion there are some cool
pieces that come with them so it's worth it (namely - green hair! <grin>).
I also like Paradisa and Belville sets for special pieces, but I know that the
rest of the castleheads don't always agree with me. (At least I've got Craig
and Richard M. on my side! ;-)
Uh... what else. Space sets might be useful - the UFO armor was neat and the
quarter-saucer-discs, once brassoed clean, are very useful. They also had some
neat trans heads.
I also got an insectoids set as a prize at the Brickfest (I'd never pay
*money* to get one, but it was a PRIZE after all ;-), and I liked the Queen's
blue head and hands very much. I still hafta figure out what to do with the
rest of the pieces - I just need to think, I know there's *something* to do
with'em. <grin>
I can't remember if Franklin Cain used the insectoid legs for his spider
chariots, or other pieces...? (The dixielug folks can prolly answer that, I
hear... a little bird told me they had a visitor from a faraway realm down
there, I'll be expecting Greg's pics!)
Oh well... enough ramble for tonight, sleep is a neccessity if I want to get
up bright and early tomorrow... and I do! :-)
see ya,
