David, I think you are right on about a sub license. The only thing that TLG would have to worry about is parental reaction as the product moves from the innocuous "sure they've got swords and axes, but look at how happy they are..." world into the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

Erick, Thanks for the compliments! In the princess Tower, I accidentally left out the bottom ladder hook when I photographed it. It is actually pinned to the roof of the second floor instead of on the second story floor itself. this allows the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

Erik, Thanks for your input. THere are two things that I'm not quite satisfied with, one is the battlements, and the other is the color. I'd have loved to put some dark grey in there as well as some color, but I am limited by bricks as well as (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks, I would have loved to stick with the short battlements as well, but I was limited as to how they would connect to the towers. I could make them work in every set except the corner owers, as they weakened the integrity of the towers upper (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

Jon, I just had to say, very tastefully done! I really like the livery and the gate house. The nice part is, you can 'buy' extra wall sections to expand the sides making it a much deeper walled city. That way you could fit everything inside the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

I couldn't agree with you more Jon. We castle fans don't need any fancy new pieces to make us happy; just a reappearance of castle sets. Those modular sets you're created are exactly the kind of thing I want LEGO to bring back to the market. I've (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

Jon, this is lovely, and you've set yourself a hard problem. The thing that seems not quite in theme about it is the monochrome colors. Most Lego castles have a spot of color, a red, black, or blue roof. It keeps the minifigs smiling. -Erik (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)
