Okay, I know I’m not saying anything new here. But give me a moment before
you pass this off as another rant:
I realize there are things going on at the company we AFOLs don’t know about.
I realize there is probably a certain piece-to-play ratio you’re considering.
I realize certain colors attract attention more than others. I realize there
is a certain “build-to-play” time factor considered in production for
different age groups. I’m not going to go off about the bar going down
because thats been done quite elequently already.
But,I refuse to believe these factors cannot be done in a more
aesthetically pleasing way. The new Knights’ Kingdom™ mini-fig sets are an
eye-sore. I don’t think the common consumer would even recognize they are
some type of castle-like creation unless they had a castle looking mini-fig
with them.
Before I’m blown off as one more nostalgic adult fan, consider this: we here
at lugnet know your product. Put us to the test. What factors need to be
considered? I’ll bet my last dollar a Sava or a Hoffman could pump out a
model that meets all your specifications and is still beautiful in form and
function.
Dear LEGO company, you can and have done better.

Felix,
I must disagree on this. If you are going to compare 6086 to 1 of the new
sets, then compare it to the castle of Morcia set,which I think is much prettier
than 6086. I actually prefer the new dark grey (bley) over the old dark grey.
You really ought to be grateful that TLG has released castle sets. As for the
minifigs, I think Vladek is very cool and the new king is one of the nicest
looking figs I’ve seen, and the rest of the figs are sort of cool. You also have
to consider the age group lego is targeting. TLG is targeting kids, not you
AFOLS!!!
Lighten up and be grateful,
Joshua, who happens to have a soft spot for classic smilies!
P.S. At least be glad they’re not skin-toned!
