Hi everyone, I have a question. I just got done watching Aliens tonight and i was thinking to myself, "Has anyone made any aliens figures out of lego?" I think it would be really cool if they made marines and the aliens. Does anyone have a site or (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.build)

I've finally built the first part of my castle complex! I started simple with a wooden castle guard barracks. It is up against the exterior curtain wall (well, its against a fake piece of the curtain wall). I've also redone my Lego pages, getting (...)

As Shiri says, 6097 is the perfect choice for castle parts these days. It is cheap, easily available, and has a wide range of parts. It was on sale a while back at kbkids.com for only $25!
