Dropped by the Salem, NH TRU over lunch. Only one 2000 LEGO set: the Royal
Joust. No
time to put it together, but some first impressions from looking it over:
* I thought the king had a black beard from the catalog pics. Maybe there
are two kings, but the one in this set has a white beard. He looks very
stern. I wonder how his face will look with a Majisto beard?
* Speaking of catalog pics...I am won over. After looking at the catalog,
the knight in the big castle set *is* female. That's no moustache. It
looks like a different armor print than the knight in the Royal Joust, too,
but that could be the angle, it's difficult to tell. My only fear now is
that someone goofed up the minifigs for the catalog pic, and created a
female knight and a transvestite 'princess'. If not...woo!
* The bad news: price. 99 pieces for $19.99 - sigh. The price of $90 I
heard quoted for the big castle set makes it look like this theme is going
to be one of the more expensive ones, price-per-piece-wise...

| (...) Isn't the King's beard black and grey? It's hard to describe, but there's a definite two-tone aspect to it. The upper part (above the jaws, I guess) is gray (maybe white), with black vertical lines (not parallel, more like rays projecting from (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
