(...) I won't give anything away, but a Chewbacca, Watto, or Ghost size fig would not do. Hagrid is very large. Not only taller, but with broad shoulders too. A simple slip cover would not do, atleast that is my opinion. Kevin Blocksidge (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

Personally i think Lego should do a king Arthur range. For this not only a castle but village sets, so that you could put together an ideal Camelot. Also, a set containing each of his knights, each one with their own emblem on the shield, tunic and (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Keep in mind that the sets will be based on the movie, not the books. So what LEGO does will most likely depend on how Hagrid is depicted in the movie. (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

A Roman range would be excellent, with a gladiator arena. With different gladiator minifigs and chariots - just like in the gladiator film - nice!!! (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hey Tamy, I agree with Wilson, cool use of the chains! I also rather like double windows in the front. It gives the castle a very heavy feeling, together with the chains, ninja doors and the [battlements I think you call'em?]. Nice job! Take more (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

You might try a power focus for your camera. I found it very difficult to set the focus from a distance from the computer. Check this out. (URL) Fay California, USA rfay@we.mediaone.net (URL) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)
