I've found more information and pictures about this exibit. For most of the models shown in the posted gallery, I recognized the real life sites they represented. For instance, that middle age city Daan Bargerbos mentioned, is Mont-Saint-Michel in (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.castle, FTX) !!

(...) The question is if they like this specific castle-on-drugs theme or if they'd like _any_ castle theme, such as the old-and-boring ;) gray (or yellow). I don't suggest a reply, I simply don't know. And I don't have the 'material' to test ;-) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle)

I think that the fact that kids love the sets is more a result of the theme of the sets rather than the quality of the sets. I think we can all agree that Castles and knights have a certain appeal to kids, especially those that gravitate towards (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle)

Hello all, Joe Meno was nice enough to take some pics of a big MOC I've been working on for some time. It's about five stories tall and 'explodes' to show the full interior (see pics). This is the gate and keep of the complex and has a kitchen, (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I think you are looking at this at the entirely wrong direction. They have had these sets out at LLCA for some time now and last time I was there they even had costume characters walking around dressed up as the KK2 knights. And you know what (...)

(...) Kid don't want realism, they want cool looking (to them) toys. Today's child market is heavily influence by the anime look of Dragonball, Pokemon, and Yu Gi Oh and I can definatly see the parallel between those themes and the new Castle (...)

(...) So what follows is my own personal take on the KK sets. Just because I like it, doesn't mean I'm lying :) Please don't call me a marketing schlub! :) When I first saw pictures of the line, I wasn't much of a fan. They weren't on the top of my (...)

My local Toys R Us just received the Knights' Kingdom sets. I'm really on the fence about purchasing these. For one thing, the smallest set is $8.99. Seems a lot for two figures and a horse. But I believe the price points have been discussed (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle)

(...) David, I disagree completely with you here. Playmobil may not be able to make actual construction toys, but one thing they can do, is make VERY nice and real looking castles. The new Lego Knights Kingdom sets neither look nice, nor resembles (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.castle, FTX)
