  Re: Where do these green hoods come from?
 
(...) They don't really look like spraypaint to me. Perhaps someone has an irregular source for parts. I've heard of some people getting random stuff from the floors of the LEGO studios for stuff like brown antenaes etc. But I dunno. -Lenny (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: TOWER CASTLE
 
(...) Thanx.... glad you like it.... the reason I used white not black is that real Norman tower castles dont use black corner stones... When I went to see Dover Castle and the Tower of London in England, they have a white corner stones... I (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Announcing the MOCC
 
Yea big, yea high, four walls, minifig scale, not 20th century. What was too complicated about the rules? (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Announcing the MOCC
 
(...) A castle competition sounds cool but there are wayyyyyy too many rules for something that is supposed to fun. Granted I’m not a castle builder but I highly suggest simplifying the rules a bit if you want people to consider building something (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Is this for real?
 
(...) Sorry to reply to my own post but. . . look at the peice holding up the flame on the left on the big castle. is that blue stuff paint a reflection or what? weird. (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Is this for real?
 
(...) I always thought that the idea of Dublo was fun toys for young kids that didn't have small parts that could be swallowed, or poke kids in the eye. these sets looks like they have parts that could be swallowed or poke kids in the eye. of course (...)

  Re: Is this for real?
 
There are enough obviously real Duplo pieces in there (horse, pot, 2*2 and 4*2 bricks, various plates, sloped bricks, ladder, ball) for me to think this is probably real, and as Mark pointed out the figs in the picture do compare well with the new (...)

  Where do these green hoods come from?
 
I don't remember ever seeing these before. What sets do these green hoods come in? (URL) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Is this for real?
 
(...) It wouldn't shock me. But, if you look at the castle front, it is 32 studs (regular) across the front of the tan baseplate. That'd make it something like 48 studs across the whole front. That seems quite big to me. (mind you, it is a $130-150 (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Announcing the MOCC
 
My Own Castle Competition. We are hereby happy to announce the official castle-building competition for the Castle Room at BrickFest 2004. The competition is pretty straightforward, but a lot can be done with it. It is the hope of the BrickFest 2004 (...)

  Re: TOWER CASTLE
 
Awesome! Terrific details there. I guess I might have preferred the highlights/details in black rather than white, but that's a matter of personal taste rather than building skill. Would love to see more pic of course, is there an interior? Magnus (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Is this for real?
 
(...) One of the things that made me question it are the figs. Those are NOT Duplo figs as we know them.... BUT then I saw the new Duplo sets on S@H - well see for yourself: (URL) -- check the fig standing. So it looks like Lego is changing MORE (...)

  Re: Is this for real?
 
(...) Yes, and how big the margin would be. It could quite easily be real DUPLO, designed to compete with the Fisher-Price Castle. As far as its not having "LEGO" on the studs, most of them look hollow as DUPLO tends to be; furthermore, those (...) (20 years ago, 30-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Is this for real?
 
(...) It looks like Tyco. No LEGO on the studs you can see, and what looks like 1/2 thickness plates. This could be a construct using a variety of bits & pieces (megablocks, Tyco, Lego), but I don't think it is lego, and I really doubt Duplo. Think (...) (20 years ago, 30-May-04, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: who wants to buy my whole collection

  Re: who wants to buy my whole collection
 
(...) Let me tell you something about College. If you can't get at least $1,000-$2,000 for your collection, I wouldn't bother selling it, it won't make a dent in the debt you're going to accrue, unless you stay at home and get all your meals free, (...)
