~And here they are… !New Castle Sets!…

It has a Scala-esk background, but the pieces are all castle…no pink stuff!
It comes with a red cross-bow & red long-bow!!!
(interestingly enough, there’s an 1812 era British army hat?)

(Note the red halberder)

(Nothin’ special, just a weird mini-fig near the altered cannon…
and a stick of dynamite just to make things interesting!   LOL)

(parallels the original quite closely, except for the print on the royal knight)

http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1732671765
(The majority of the helmets seem altered?)

(Take note: the brand ‘Shif*ty’ is different from the allegedly authorized
‘Brick’ brand knock-offs. In that Shif*ty is an inferior product that has
other brand parts mixed in)

And a few Pirate:

http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1732671800

Jus’ one question though…
What’s up with the choice in names?
And I quote:                                         “Treasury Island”
                                                          “Strange Head Island”
                                                         “Archon's Cockleboat”
                                                        “Memento Mori Bastion”


            really wantin’ some of these messed-up sets,

Check out Ka-On Lee’s photo of a shelf full of knock-offs:
