| (...) Looking at the sets...I can see a couple of good ideas for MOC's, some good parts, but some terrible colour selections. I like the tower wall sections in 8780 with attatched barred windows. Benjamin Whytcross (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

| James, Thanks for posting this. I'm sure there will be a lot of discussion about this over the next few days. Out of curiosity, what set did this come out of? And was the scan from a new 2004 catalog? New mini flyer? Bryan "James Stacey" (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) I already typed extensive comments on Classic-Castle, so I'll be brief here. It's basically Knights Kingdom Redux, with all the faults of the previous. The jousting match annoys me with no shields, no horses, and no bardings. The big castle is (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Hate to say it, but this new range reminds me of the MBs Castle range. Never been a big fan on the MB product, the only good thing, however, is their assortment of weapons......... The new Knights look like Teletubbys in bright outfits and the (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) there are 6 of ‘em right?!? Lt. Blue Blue Red Sand/drk. Red Green Purple Is this correct? Man, do these ever contrast with my overall army.

I'll be buying at least three themes this summer it looks like... That'd be Castle, Star (...) (21 years ago, 17-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)
