Greetings my friends,
The countdown to the update to my site has begun. I've finally been able to go
home to my legos and take pictures. It'll take me a week or so to edit and
clean up the pictures, and to update my site, so I figured I'd share a few
pictures with all of you castle heads until I'm done.
So without further adieu...
Here is a clip from my illustrated story, unfortunately I didn't have time to
take pictures of the whole story, so only the teaser story I posted a while ago
will be illustrated. The Paladins of Karkos are interrogating a villager.

Here is a new character with a new weapon. A magical war staff.

no, that's not princess storm's head, thats the head of the female rock raider
that doesnt have a head set on.
I hope you like them. Expect a post from me in the next week or so with the
news of my update.

Ant,
Very cool. I especially like the dude with the magic war staff-way to use the
pieces in an inventive way. And that red helmet, pure genius. Keep up the good
work, can't wait to see the new site.

I agree! The wrench makes an awesome sickle-moon shape for a staff. I might
just have to borrow/blatantly steal this idea. Those Paladins are pretty
spiffy too!
> And that red helmet, pure genius.
That helmet style was actually one produced by TLC back in the Yellow Castle
days. Take a look at his main page if you haven't seen it already, there's
some great ideas for weapons there.

Fantastic weapons. Great use of pieces. Did you have to shave the end of
the trans-light blue spear to get it to seat properly? The character
designs and color schemes are also terrific. Loce those new chrome pieces!
I can't wait to get mine.

Thanks, though I'm out of ideas, I'm sure I'll come up with a few more.

Yes sir, took a nail file to it. I didn't take all that much off, in fact you
can barely notice when the spear is by itself.

Mostly I'm proud of my ancient lego knights, all 7 of em, making up the group
known as the Jackals. They'll be on my site soon, on their own page. The
chrome knights are oh so spiffy. I have 12 Paladins at the moment, thanks to a
really nice ebay auction. However I plan to buy one of each set at least so
that I can actually own each of the sets. I might buy a few of the dragon
rider set, of all my armor sets, i have less helms than anything.
Anyway, glad you liked it, it feels nice to be admired, at least a wee bit.
But oh well.

So it was you!I was the first bidder (Fett69) then the price went way up
above $30, which was a bit too much to pay for some accessories.

It's not the auction he thinks it is. I looked at the history and he's not
there, so he must have a different auction in mind.

Ebay Auction 432889681, for $51 i got :
"for auction we have some lego chrome items for your knights.this auction
includes 11 chrome dragon helmets,17 chrome breast plates,12 chrome broad
swords,16 chrome bull shields.all items are mint.."
Thanks, it came to me while I was debating on how I was going to use the one
silver knight that I had already. Then the idea hit me, and that I needed more
silver armor sets to make a small band of paladins. I think it makes for a
good effect.

Sorry man, but it wasn't me. I've looked, there have been many auctions for
chrome armor sets, so I think you're thinking of one that I didn't bid on. And
for me, I could have paid $80 for the accessories and it still would have been
worth it, if you figure in that each chrome piece would cost me $5. And I only
paid $51. Auction #432889681.

Yup, i see that now. I didn't take the time to look and see. It was an
auction with 9 breastplates i think. Hmmm, still quite a lot to pay for
accessories, cause think how much money you could get for selling the
minifigs? Princess storm? I know this thread just happened, but she's worth
a lot to people who don't wanna buy the castle. Same with the chainmail
guard, they don't wanna buy the big sets cause they're pretty much a waste
of peices. I'm glad you're happy to have gotten them for that price. It
shows us how much we're into Lego.
Hehe

Well, for $51, i got 11 silver helms, 12 silver swords, 16 silver shields and
17 silver breast plates. Lets disect this. Each of the 4 sets costs about $5.
So, assuming i have a lot of silver swords on hand, and do not need to buy any
of the silver sword sets, that comes out to be 44 items, 44 sets. So, 44 sets
at $5 a piece, thats $220. Since I already bought the large castle already,
I'd say I got a damn good deal. But thats just my humble opinion.

I took the other route and bought the chrome sets straight from S@H (except
4819 of course).
I must say that most of the sets are worth the $5. I ended up with 15 4818
Dragon Riders, 15 4817 Dungeon, and 5 4816 Knights Catapult.
Okay, yes, that comes out to $200.....but all the pieces were valuable to me...
First off, you get 15 Paladins (minus shields)
15 skeletons
15 black dragons
5 female armors
5 black visored helmets
20 Knights Kingdom Pikeman
15 blue gems, 15 red gems, 15 neon gems, 15 green gems
15 Bull Pack footmen - using the black norman helmets from 4817
5 catapults
not to mention various other pieces.
So, basically, I was able to put together the Paladins, and add to BOTH my
Knights Kingdom army, and my Bull Pack army.....along with getting tons of
other great pieces I needed!
Maybe not a good deal for some, but it was in my case.
