SNIP (...) I've been thinking about this for awhile. It seems that in the last few years, the number of new molds per year that TLC creates has been consistently rising. For example, for 2004 it looks like they have pretty much phased out most of (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

Hello! (...) Unfortunatelly I wasn't surprised. (...) I don't agree with your 6090-description. For me it's a fantasy fairy tale castle rather than a building based on real castles. So are 6082 (1993) and 6097 (1997), though it renders the fictional (...) (21 years ago, 19-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) I agree with Adrian somewhat. I'll be first in line to criticize Galidor and second in line for Bionicle specialty parts (like the masks) but these seem to be half decent. I don't like all the new molds they had to make to put out these parts, (...) (21 years ago, 19-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Wow! Those parts are a lot less useless looking than they first appeared. Sure, the head, torso, and shield are awfully single-use, but all those hinge parts could prove quite useful indeed. It's nice to see they're not all single pieces like (...) (21 years ago, 19-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Oh? I guess I see both designs (new castle and China Fortress) as pretty much the same thing, along with 6091/6098, Hogwarts Castle, World City train station, World City Police HQ, 6636 Police HQ, and probably more. Mostly just a front facade (...) (21 years ago, 19-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Snip I couldn't agree with you more, I too, had high hopes regarding any new castle sets. I have three of the China Fortresses so far, and I will probably buy some more if I catch them at a reduced price (great supply of black slopes). Having (...) (21 years ago, 19-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

sorry to dissapoint you, no its not fake. Go out and buy one of the new knights kingdom (big guy) sets if you don't belive it. And if I was going to fake a load of sets, I'd hope people would be much happier with what they saw :) (21 years ago, 18-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)
