to it - it is still a very cool set and the kids loved it.

The Dragon was a big hit! My kids had much fun flying him around and
smahing him into the various Duplo buildings they built up. The
drawbridge was easy for them to work - same with the trap doors in
the floors. I think the walls could be more Lego-like, but understand
it is needed to be more sturdy and hold up to the rough kid play.

Here is the 'problem'. The picture of the set very clearly shows the
shields have a design on them (either via sticker or direct
printing). This can be seen in the set picture on S@H
<http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=4776 here> and the box art shows
the same both in the set picture and the parts included picture on
the top of the box. My set had no design printed on the shields and
no stickers at all in the box. The other decorated elements (2 1x2x2
bricks) are both printed with the design and are as shown in the set
art.

Does anybody else have this set and can confirm the status of these
shields either way? And Lego - you may want to look into this as it
appears to be some sort of error.

oh ya - almost forgot. I really do not like the new design for the
Duplo minifigs. I do not know why they were changed, but they all
look like they have been riding a horse for too long and somebody
stretched out their arms in some twisted torture ritual.

I brought that set at legoland Windsor and mine had plain black shields too.

What a series tho. The castle is fantastic. If only the new minifig scale
one was 1/2 as cool.
Lego should place the Duplo Castle set designers on work for KK3 (if there
ever was such a line)
That would be great
