  Re: Castle accessories arrived
 
(...) there how much was left of each. Jimmy (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Castle accessories arrived
 
(...) Didn't you say there were only 36 of them available? (URL) not surprised you got beaten to the punch... I've only heard about 1 person who successfully received *any*. They haven't shown up on Brickbay or eBay, either - and I've been looking! (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Castle accessories arrived
 
Well my orders arrived from England. Surprisingly (and very disappointingly), I received zero 5138s even though I ordered about 100 of them. Did get plenty of 5059s and 5184s, so I'm going to re-equip my BFs, Forestmen, and DMs with the loot. (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) John , please take this the best way possible -- it is offered by someone who doesn't even know you so his opinion should not matter to you very much... ...but... ... you either are, or are not, cool. It has nothing to do with the stuff you (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: July surprise for castle fans!
 
(...) Maybe. There is more than one way to interpret the following quote from Brad's post: "By the way, these classic items are *not* the "July Surprise" What if you place emphasis on the word "these", or in other words -- that the sets listed were (...)

  Tease this!
 
My time in lego limbo is over. Here is your first teaser picture straight out of the box. (URL) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.announce, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: July surprise for castle fans!
 
(...) fyi - Enchanted Island (to be reissued) has two castle corner pieces, and King Leo's Castle has a couple straight walls. And Fright Knights had the grill helmet in black. Kevin (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: July surprise for castle fans!
 
(...) But Brad stated in the above message that this was NOT the "July Suprise." I'm leaning towards some sort of bulk part offering, be it castle walls or something else. It could even be some sort of "Sculpture" line offering, perhaps a medival (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
Don't get me wrong I really hope that they are reissuing old early 80's sets. I want a guarded inn and a large army of black falcons. I'm just giving reasons why people may not be going crazy. My minor disapointment is similar to my feelings with (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: July surprise for castle fans!
 
(...) Huh? I haven't seen new sets with 80s style castle walls (straight or corner) since Fright Knights (1997), and I thought the grille helmet and one-clip saddle were discontinued a long time ago. They could *update* the Guarded Inn, but I don't (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Most ever spent on Lego
 
(...) Well, I'm not sure if this is the MOST I've ever spent on Lego, but all the talking lately about the older sets got my hear racing so I went into an EBAY frenzy. Picked up the following: Set Name Price Pieces Price/piece ---- ---...--- ------- (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) I have no sympathy for anyone trading in Lego for profit except for TLC itself (and even then there is a reasonableness in pricing factor), especially if their ambition is primarily to make $$$ from old MISB sets (which excludes people who (...)

  Re: Ninja stuff
 
(...) Hey, that reminds me: when did man-portable gunpowder weapons come about in Asia? That would seem a suitable, though arbitrary, way to determine if Ninja "fits" with Castle. I suspect this has been hashed-out here before... Dave! (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) Then stop holding on to it and sell it now, while there's still no possible competition from LEGO re-releasing the set. Or, wait until the sets are no longer being sold by LEGO again. It just means sitting on your investment a little longer. (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Ninja stuff
 
(...) I have to turn this around and ask do you consider Dark Forest to be part of the Castle Lego line, or the Castle Dark Forest line? I mean, there isn't a castle in Dark Forest, but there is in Ninja. What you are really hedging around is the (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
Thank you John Neal for bringing this up! If your into the hobby for pleasure, then that’s great! If you’re into the hobby for profit and profit alone, get out! These are TOYS were talking about (Although, some very valuable in nostalgic worth.) (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.castle, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) and then, at (URL) Brad Justus wrote this about the new "classic" set line: (...) Ah, so all we really have to consider is what Castle sets (or elements) meet this criteria -- the one about the molds being available. I am going to take another (...)

  new castle pics on BrickShelf
 
I just recently updated my BrickShelf page. I know many of the images are very dark. Sorry :-/ I hope to have something new built in time for BrickFest (URL) Hitchcock (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
 
  Re: Ninja stuff
 
(...) The Ninja Theme was what got me into the Castle Theme and I am still a die-hard ninja fan. Certainly I am not impressed with the offerings in the Ninja Theme and the structures but I can say the minifigs are very well done and the specialized (...)

  Re: Why aren't we going crazy?!?
 
(...) They won't be the same (different set numbers), but besides that, these are toys we are talking about, not investments. If someone takes a bath from using LEGO as an investment, well that's the breaks in a market.... (...) That's the whole (...)
