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)

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)
