SNIP

I got the same set, & though i wish the wall pieces were like the classic castle wall pieces, i’d say it’s a decent set with good playability. when i built it i remembered this set:

6062 Battering Ram

& realized that this could be the LEGO Co.‘s way of releasing a remade legend. I always wanted to get 6062 when i was younger but never had the money, or when i did have the money, the store didn’t have the set. anyways, i’d say the new set does a good job at capturing the playability of the original, & the new 2pack does have enough pieces to make a nice little tower & other midieval vehicles, so i’m not so dissapointed i didn’t get 6062; i kinda got a reasonable substitute now. the lesson? Dear LEGO: do more sets like the new knights 2pack, but with a higher piece count & those pieces should be more basic/classic pieces/figures to keep set price down.

TRU has a $30 co-pack of Knight's Castle Wall and Vladek's Siege Engine ($20 ea. at S@H). I got that "Ooh, new Lego set" feeling and bought one. Some thoughts on the castle wall... Did Lego think modular castle wall? Close but no banana. Have to try (...) (20 years ago, 30-Oct-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.reviews, lugnet.castle)
