The new lego knights kingdom sub-theme (rather sub-themes, we have the knights
and the bull raiders) is absolute crap.  Of all the good guy minifigs, we have
exactly one mounted non-king, minifig.  The big $100 castle has only 8
minifigs.  Where are the days when every little castle set had loads of little
figures you could play with?  I think that without the figures, the lego
castles of the Y2K era have become souless, meaningless structures.  Though I
wasn't even born when the 375/6075 yellow castle went out of production, I
have looked through several pictures of it and though it seems crude, it is so
cool!  There are four different forces of knights, 8 defenders and three sets
of 2 raiders each.  I mean, the Knights kingdom castle has two bull raiders, a
cannon, two crossbowmen, a king, queen, and princess.  I mean, this sucks.  No
wonder I never got interested in castle.  All the good sets went OOP before I
was born.

Well like some of the others have mentioned I don't really care about the sets.
I don't think I have a single 2000 set still built.  I do build all Star Wars
and Castle sets at least once before I dismantal them and sort them in my parts
bins.

I agree with you about the Minifigs in terms of quantity only.  I actually love
the figs themselve I just wish TLC would include more in the sets as they are
about the only thing I use from the sets as it was ment to be used, everything
else just gets reused in my MOC's.

Like Shiri I really like the princes although I would have to think about the
"best fig ever" part.  Having a female knight in armor is very cool.  I also
like the kettle helm guy's a lot but I wish the brown mustache appeared more.

Plus IMO having a set like <set:4811> is a hugh bonus for building an army.

I probably won't buy another <set:6091> though unless I get it at a deap
discount.  There are better places to find parts for sure.  I would love to get
another princes though.
