> Lego has been so anti-violent ...<
im sorry, but a few people have said this before and ive gotta ask: how is lego
is anyway nonviolent? every castle set includes weaponry of some sort. it is a
given conclusion that each faction is at least sometime in combat with
eachother? even though there are non overtly cruel acts of violence, such as
torture devices, the idea of a SWORD is innately violent. what purpose to
swords, spears, bows and arrows, and catapults have? violence!
there are only three castle sets that are non-martial (the blacksmith,
merchant, and inn). that means that all other sets are related to the military
somehow (either defensively or offensively), which precludes warfare and
violence. in other systems as well: almost all space vehicles have guns of some
sort on them.
so im just wondering, where did this nonviolent thing get started?

i agree, it is my favorite, too. it is the only lego made castle that has
really boggled my mind in innovative design. (also i like the black color
scheme).
