Hi Aaron! (...) He spells it with one "t", methinks. <snip> (...) That's Chris Maddison. -Shiri (who can probably put a name to every single creation and person in that room - phew! Being room captain was exhausting.) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle)

I think I will de-lurk for a moment and throw in my two cents worth. My "Crossed Axe" soldiers have always been mercenaries who have often been employed by the peasants to protect their interests or have allowed themselves to be hired by the Lions. (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle)

|

I'm trying to get an idea what pieces came in the 1978 Samsonite set 0016. I've included a highly speculative inventory using Peeron names and part numbers based on postings in Rec.Toys.Lego and here, but I was hoping there is someone out there that (...)

(...) Those are good thoughts, and play right in to the rules of Brikwars!! But they are inconsistent with the way the Crossed-Ax soldiers are portrayed in the Lego sets. Anytime you see a crossed ax soldier carrying a shield, it is a lion shield! (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks! If you were where Gandalf stood you'd be 500 feet from the ground. My tower has 8 floors, and is about 100 "lego feet" tall. So my tower has a ways to go yet. I didn't use a scale. I just used what pieces I had for the base and went up from (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle)

I am new the Lugnet world but a long time, die-hard lego fan. I recently saw in the newest issue of Mania Magazine an offer for the Lego Legend Guarded Inn. I thought this was original to this set, but, when briefly scanning different newsgroup (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hello everyone! I've uploaded some pictures I made of a few MOCS: - A chalet - A yellowish castle - A boat Since we will be moving in a few weeks, I thought it a clever idea to take the pictures before breaking the MOCS down in pieces. Now I have a (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle)

Just speculation, but I suspect Lego Legends to run the gamut through city and space before it returns to Castle again. I have no idea what space sets they would reproduce since they really have no space line going at this time. Life on Mars is off (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle)
