(...) The Dragon Masters were the first Castle sub-theme that I saw as being anywhere near as good as the combined Robin Hood Guys(tm) sub-themes. All of the basic castles just seemed kinda bland to me. Grey walls, more grey walls, grey walls with (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Five new visors? Cool, and at least one new helmet to boot. Too bad the swords are all the same shape. (...) It's no less realistic than the first Castle set I ever got my hands on. You might remember it. Yellow walls? (...) Every single (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle)

(...) TLC has plenty of fantasy in all of their product line. IMHO, all of the castle line is fantasy, from it's inception onward. I never saw much realism in the line, more of a child-like representation of what we all dream life of a knight would (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I'm not part of that "us". I stopped buying Lego when Dragon Masters came out. There's nothing evil about fantasy Lego castles, but I am not interested in fantasy Lego castles. Note that the first fourteen years of Lego castles were (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle)
