 | | Timing issues....

|
Lately I've seen a lot of messages that start out with, or include the phrase "when I get time to build I'm going to......" I find that I, myself, fall into this trap on a weekly, if not daily basis. I'm constantly thinking, "Well when I get time (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

Looks like my friend from Sweden Elin Overnas had the old castle. If you haven't seen it yet, go now :) (URL) along with Dan Jezek's Skull Kragg keep got me back into building. Anyone have THAT one on their computers? Also, be sure to check out some (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) No, but I'll put my money on 6030-- not because of great leverage or anything, but I'm betting it's the sturdiest, and therefore has the most "bash potential"-- although the new catapult bucket/arm pieces can probably stand a good wallup (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Now that you mention these two, my son had these set up on his latest siege (4816 and 6030). Both types hurled a nice load over the castle walls no problem (various 1x1 rounds, 2x2 rounds, and the odd Timmy head). We weren't really going for (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

Thanks for all the info on where to acquire cheep sets that contain Horses. And yes, I am a member of Lego Shop @ Home. Nevertheless, this simply won’t do! My army is well over 800+ troops, and I need about 45 black horse, 20 white horses, and 15 (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.western, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.town)

(...) Not exactly. I noticed the change around, oh, let's say 1996. Fright Knights definately have soft swords (I still have 6097 assembled), and I think Dark Forestmen did too. Don't blame Knights Kingdom for this one. A Black Knight's sword might (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) A pike is nothing more than a really long spear, that needs both hands to use. About 15-20 feet long, sometimes longer. Lego doesn't make a pike, per se - we had a lengthy discussion about making one a while back here (see the sawed-off (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

I may be considered insane by most of you, and I want an Armor Shop, but I could really care less if I get a black sword or not. I would much rather get that Crusaders' flag that comes in the set. I admit it would be neat to have a black sword, but (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I think $30 is a good price for a 15-year old Castle set. It's only $0.30/piece, and you'll probably enjoy it more than the Bulls Attack set that you might be able ot get for the same price in a store. Is that a 100% yellow torso on the (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)
