Zaktan of the Shadows Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Cool! Looks like a really good set. The peices rock. I really want those peices... -ZotS Quote
Corvus Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I don't really like this. The set mine itself is great, but the minifigs seem to megablok-ish. Like the golden axes, though. Quote
Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) i still think a LEGO set should be a free-standing model as well as a playset.- BM I'm with the Brick Miner on this. Anyone remember the days of pre-2000 - all those old system sets, like wild west an' ninjas an' adventurers? You could put those on display jus' as easily as play with 'em. THATS what I would like to see out of Lego - This set comes close, but is not quite there. Then again, this is the closest any System line has come to acheiving that standard in 7 years... If my happyness over this castle series were to have a theme song, it would be "Hot Pants" by Bobby Byrd. In all seriousness, I think this series is a HUGE step in the right direction. The Vikings were kinda getting there, this is really great, so who knows, maby next year we'll finially see some classic lovlieness. Edited June 28, 2007 by Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Quote

Then again, this is the closest any System line has come to acheiving that standard in 7 years... I respectfully disagree. I played with 7775 Aquabase Invasion for hours and I think it looks great on a shelf. I loved the Ninja sets, though. Great example!

iamded Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Whoa! I'm a bit late replying, but meh, this set is great in my opinion. Finally they added ladders, instead of your minifigs having to jump to the top of the tower. :-P I see great playability in this set. More round shields is good, and the new helmets aren't bad either! Gold crystals = yay. Those 'flaming swords' don't look flaming to me. They just look like they have rough, rugged edges, like some Megabloks sword. :-( The troll doesn't look too bad, I actually quite like the design, it looks as articulate as a giant minifig, I hope it's hands can rotate. In any case, it's certainly better than the rock monster. He could also be a rock golem in MOCs, he's the right colours. And yes, I will keep this set assembled, I like it. It comes quite far forward, it will take up a lot of shelf space though. 8-| I know I'll have fun with that massive catapult. :-D So great minifigs, weapons, playability, and in my opinion, design. Hey, it's a good design to accommodates all those play features! I wonder how they'll fit them all on the back of the box! :-D I can't wait to see a review of this set, only half a year to go! :-P Quote

Andrex Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Lali-Ho! I'm not really a fan of sets outside of Star Wars, but this current castle line really has a fantasy feel to it like none other O_O. Hmm I quite like this idea, the whole dwarven mining thing :D. Hmm and a funky Rock Raiders cameo there haha. Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 No, the Dark Wizard is just my puppet. Peraphs those goblins are your relatives, Master *yoda* ? They sure resemble you.... You mean they are small, green and talking gibberish? Guess those dwarves don't have anything to fear then.. :-P Yeay yeay yeay |-/ Like on Dagobah if I had a stick I would poke you both with it X-D :-P Unlike *yoda* , those Goblins are facing exctinction pretty soon !! They think they are so tough with their KK helmet, and flame on bbq Bionicle swords ? Guess again !! They will be fed to that sweet dragon once tamed !! I really want to see better pics of that faction but from those pics it really looks ugly !! Wauw *wub* *wub* *wub* That troll and the axe heads look awesome. OMG, I do sense some nude troll swooshing in no time X-D :-P Regarding factions I fully concur, we do NEED elves !! Grenn nice one and dark evil ones I so much want a charming Lodoss elvess like her or both of those sweeties/hotties *wub* Elves on! Quote
ApophisV Posted June 28, 2007 Author Posted June 28, 2007 I so much want a charming Lodoss elvess like her or both of those sweeties/hotties *wub* Yoda! What are you saying? You shouldn't look at those manga pics! Get yourself a Marvel comic or if you prefer a belgo-french one (or at veeeery least a DC one)!!!! :-P Manga OFF!!! OFF I SAY!!!! >:-) Quote
Vader Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 And their you have it people, the true reason why *yoda* loves this line. His hopes of a few Elve Hotties survives as long as this line does!!! :-D X-D From what we can see in the pic i think theirs tons of potental mocing for this set, the mine cart itself could be used for lots of different themes including the new indy line.

I knew that comment would charm a Marvel fan :-D :-P Seriously, Bianca Castafiore is no hottie elvess X-D And their you have it people, the true reason why *yoda* loves this line.

Of cause *vader* , elvess hotties are as important as tweek girls and darth hotties !! We need more hotties in our sets !! I mean look at Jipay's current title, that says it all X-D And I totally agree on the huge possibilities that set offers in terms of MOCing and integration in other themes: and Indy would just be perfect hehe !! Escape from the Temple of Doom in green carts :-P *yoda* Quote

Klaus-Dieter Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I don't really like this. The set mine itself is great, but the minifigs seem to megablok-ish. Like the golden axes, though. I agree with you, Mr. Mandalorian. Although I hate the new Castle sets, this mine is great! But only the mine itself. The minifigs are ugly, the catapult is oversized and the throne in my opinion doesn't go with a mine (which is dark and dirty). But the lorries on the tracks, the doors and the smelter are very nice, I'd say. Quote
alex54 Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Seriously, Bianca Castafiore is no hottie elvess X-D *yoda* Don Quote
john cleese Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) can i just say that everytime i hear or rather see the names dwarf's minifig and bad guy vehicle i really crack up. Like i laugh till it hurts. :-$ Edited June 28, 2007 by john cleese Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I really think the troll has a new cool spiky bricky look. And I think the wings are removable off the helmets. They are a variation of the Viking helmets, only shorter to suit the beards, which, for some reason, go around the head? :-/ Quote

Vader Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Hum Sne in a dress, hurm... thats something X-D :-P And hey, *yoda* is NO 'shortpants' X-D *yoda* It does bring up some disturbing images :-D Oh and i wasnt refering to you as shortpants, i was talking about the nickname indy gave that kid in Temple of Doom X-D Quote
Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Indeed, the aquabase IS one of the better sets in that respect that we've seen... However, I still much preffered the "demo" version of it - and it still doesnt live up to the lovely simplicity and playability of the old Aqua Raider sets. Quote
Oliverphoenix Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Lol I would love to see a Lego Elves vs Dark Elves theme with Lodoss war Deedlit and Pirotess looking minifigs,it would definately be a dream come true and be a nice 3rd Castle wave. Still we have yet to see if theres going to be any other Dwarf sets in the future as well if those minifigs are truely goblins and not Knights Kingdom in disguise. Quote
Vader Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I think most of us would love to see elves released in some form, hell then the chance to have our own pip off version of LOTR would be complete....well once tlc make some tree people too. X-D ;-) Quote
Hinckley Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Oh and i wasnt refering to you as shortpants, i was talking about the nickname indy gave that kid in Temple of Doom X-D Do you mean Short Round? Quote
Vader Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Do you mean Short Round? Perhaps :-$ X-D :-D :-P Ok ok you got me, i did indeed mean Short round X-D , Man my indy knowleadge needs refreshing big time. Indy dvd on!! Quote
Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 When did Lego make tree people? Quote
Vader Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 When did Lego make tree people? Sorry it should of read: 'well once tlc make some tree people too'. Not that i reckon they ever will mind you, saying that i didnt think we would get dwarfs or trolls so who knows. Quote
