From what I know of it 2000 castle sucks overall. It has several poops like that arch piece. The new castle tower pieces are also crap. Castle has become juniorised. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) My heart has sunk. The Bat Lord sets weren't toooo juniorized (the largest set was nice in that it didn't even come with a raised baseplate). The Ninja sets weren't too juniorized. But it sounds as if the big castle is wayyy juniorized. The (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Everytime I look at 6026 I think they should have called it "Royal Outhouse". I think that guard is there so the King can do his business in private. Julie (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Cool! Thanks for the story - post again when it's continued! I always wanted to have war between my minifigs, but I still don't have the right stuff - Up till a few months ago, my big sets were Fort Legoredo, Royal Knights Castle, Pharoah's (...)

(...) Yeah, but what about the turret tops? They've reverted to building them up out of steep-slope bricks, while there is definitely a mould in existence for a POOP that's been used before (if only in red). best, LFB (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I like it! It was fun, though I would think that the yellow castle were the good guys and the black castle is the bad guys, and the ones to fear! I felt sorry at first for the yellow castle guys when they heard of the black castle, but then (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)

I have posted some pictures of the Market I have been working on. The market currently has 4 shops and I would like to double that to 8 at some point but I want to do something else for a little while so I thought I would post what I had done (...)

(...) Very cool. I like the 'feel' of it. I'm also struck by how cool the breastplate looks with that helm (the mounted knight) - I hadn't tried that combo, and it looks good. James (URL) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

Very nice, Thomas! Just one suggestion? I'm having trouble reading some of your text, because it's the same color as the background in some places. If you use an outline version of the Old English font, i.e. black on white or white on black, it will (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)

(...) Castle has been "juniorized" since the first 'wall pieces' came out. LEGO fans were more willing to accept that because the castles, even though they were made out of big single-purpose wall & tower segments, they still managed to look cool (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Duh, I even forgot to reply to the main thrust of this message. Anyway, IMHO, 2000 castle does *not* suck. Both of the Bulls/Cowpack sets I've picked up (Catapult Crusher and Axe Cart) have been pretty nifty, and the Guarded Treasury looks (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
