Hi, (...) now it is even more embarrassing (also because of that stupid mistakes), because both posting are unexpectingly on the front page. I'm sorry for that puzzled posting. Barbara (17 years ago, 30-May-07, to lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.castle, FTX)

I think it is about time that Lego came out with realistic poseable dragons, but one complaint about the the new Castle sets is the skeleton horses. They are not articulate at all. At least the "normal" horses' heads move up and down, would have (...) (17 years ago, 6-Jun-07, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The two problems with the skeletal warrior minifigs is that the new arms are way too long, and they are not bent at the elbow. These two things combined give them a rather ape-like stature. Anyways, I think one of the neatest new items is just (...) (17 years ago, 6-Jun-07, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks for the honest and intelligent review!

But at the same time, it isn't aywhere as (...) (17 years ago, 18-Jul-07, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
