Castle lovers, Like you, I am hoping that the lack of a new castle theme in 2001 doesn't mean the end of the castle theme for good. On that note, what new elements would you like to see in any upcoming castle themes? The Pikeman's helm (most likely (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Heh. I'd settle for no new elements and just non-juniorized castles like back in the day... sigh... Oh yes, and no more black castles. How about tan? Or white? Tan & white arches galore! Tan & white extreme slopes! Heck, all varieties of tan & (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I wouldn't mind going back to light grey, really. Tan would also be good for some castles. White would I think be too bright for most castles - even the White Tower in the Tower of London isn't all that white. More pieces in some of the new (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Are you perhaps referring to the halberds? A halberd is a polearm. It's supposed to be long. Good for knocking knights off horses. Yeah, sure it's a bit longer than is "realistic" but minifigs aren't realistically proportioned anyway. ~Mark (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Not anymore. In it's heyday, it was covered with whitewash, however, so it was indeed white. So if you wanted to play with knights in the Tower, you'd want a white White Tower- if you want to play with tourists, you need a tan White Tower. :D (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I would typify the helmet as a Kettle Hat rather than the deeper-crowned Cabasset (which transitioned into the Spanish Morion and then the Comb Morion which Lego already has). I would love to see a proper sallet rather than the pseudo-sallet (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I agree with nearly everything here, except the crown. As a proud owner of a sackfull of useless crowns, if LEGO were to mold any more (before a five year return) I'd have to eat my hat (HA!). I'd go batty. I've been dreaming of great helms (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Helmets are a great idea, but we need something new… like sword holders!!! Either to be mounted on the backs of the minifigure (like the quivers for the arrows.) or, preferably on the waist (that would attach to the two waist studs.) And with (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Your opinion is PERFECT!!! The service set (the pack with three horses + three saddles) needs to be updated, and your option is great! I'd 25 of your set, even it they are priced at $9.99!!! -R (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) For MOCs white works out quite nicely because of the amounts of bricks you can get in that color. (I am building a 96x96 castle with a 3 floor keep and it looks fine, or at least so far.....) -Jonathan (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Actually, using rods that minifigures can wield, such as the grey ones found in the naboo swamp set, you can slip the rod into the 'plus' shaped hole where the technic beam would sit and it will fit. Much like in my MOC mace, found on my (...) (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)
