I agree! I think the next level of creation IS customization. An earlier
comment about waiting for Lego to come out with stuff? Some things will never
come. Lego was built on the foundation of non-war toys. The fact that they
came out with fright knights is a waver in their dedication to this.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect to see any tanks rolling off their production
line anytime soon. So, in the meantime, paint, cut and hack away! I have over
20 dragons. Painting some is no big deal and here is why:
1. Dragons are powerful. They give the bad guys to much advantage.
2. In the AD&D world, there are several colors of dragons representing good
and evil. by painting some in the good colors, this allows me to add a whole
new angle to an army. No longer are JUST castle walls needed for safety.
3. Let's be honest, customized figures are cool! Look at the guy on Ebay
selling all the Marvel characters. He makes big bucks off of 'em!
So, customizing Lego gives you a whole new dimension into expanding your world.
Isn't it their motto: Play Well, The only limits are your imagination.
I have also made some custom trumpeters for my castle. They are cool looking
to and give the castle that more 'realistic' feel (as far as people go).
Note: The gold dragon does have wings. They're just not painted yet.

In the AD&D world, gold dragons didn't have wings to begin with, they flew by
magic alone.

Huh? How is Fright Knights a war toy? Yes, they take the Royal Knights
as prisoners, but the Forestmen were being captured by the royal guys (not sure
which ones, Crusaders maybe) 10 years before Fright Knights. If LEGO was
wavering their non-war policy, FK wouldn't be the first example. Castle and
Pirates have been about wars for a good while now. And the new Star Wars, how
is that a non-war toy? I think they were meaning that they wouldn't be making
any modern war toys. The modern LEGO is firmy centred around rescue and extreme
sport.
