| | New castle line

I'm actually pretty saddened that an entire new castle line is introduced and Lugnet doesn't have a single post on it, whereas there are pages of stuff elsewhere. Geez, what happened to this forum? (18 years ago, 23-Dec-06, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well now I have an excuse to rant about the new castle line ; ) I really don't like the direction Lego is going in. Besides the obvious (bley) my other complaints are: Undead? This seems a little different from lego's normal family policy... (...) (18 years ago, 31-Dec-06, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Hi Nathan, I have to say I have a really hard time seeing how the undead differ in any way from Lego's family policy. It seems you are equating the family policy of a small minority of religious groups with general family policy. Usually I (...) (18 years ago, 1-Jan-07, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Dee-licious, Paul. Makes me want to run right down to the local sushi restaurant. Very scary and wriggly. On the kraken head, it looks like you stacked plates with a constant step size. This does tend to make it look a little pyramid-y. As you model (...) (18 years ago, 15-Jan-07, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
