For the Castle fans...

... a long awaited subject in a flood of Pirate topics!

I was wondering what the castle buffs here think on the subject of where Lego could go with new castle lines. Lets say they dump the KK stuff, and make a whole new line?

Where do you think it will head? Where do you think it SHOULD head?

We have seen Western European, Eastern European and Asian knights.

I love the vikings(although I wish they were more Viking/less monster), but I don't dig the Knights Kingdom stuff too much!

I would love to see some Middle-Eastern Knights! And since lego would NOT want to focus on the Muslim aspects(Lego seems to mostly always ignore religion in there sets...), they could simply call them "The Desert Knights" or something that would just make them look alot like the middle-eastern knights!

(I was playing Age of Empires 2 not too long ago and the idea came to me!)

Discuss! Or let this thread die...

While I too, like the Vikings, more castle themes wouldn't hurt. ;)

Where I think it will head? It looks to me TLC is just going to keep going with KK2 :(

Where I think it should go? I like your idea for Middle-Eastern Knights, that would be cool. Something like 'Merry old England' or something would also be cool; they could make different houses and workshops and things, with lots of town folk. :') They could also make more Forestmen... I always liked the forestmen. They could also make different factions, and give them little outposts and things, maybe a castle or two... Maybe a dock, and medieval pirates...

There are lots of possible things TLC could do with a theme like that.

I know it will probably never happen, but I can dream right?

More Vikings. Greek. Roman. The end.

I think we deserve a UCS-Castle.

3000 pieces, and about the size of two big baseplates.

Castle should be old gray colour.

Not just a wall with fortifications, but some substance inside. Roof lifts off to reveal throne room. Dungeon exposed by lifting side panel.

Sleeping quarters near one of hte sides of the castle.

Central courtyard, flowers and water fountain, fair maids frolicking about.

Overall, the construction style of Black Falcon's and King's Castle should be used.

etc etc.

Dreaming is allowed... thats what the forum is for!

I agree... I totally forgot about the merchant/civilian side of Castle! We definately need more shops!

I really hope lego decides to END Knights Kingdom after this... I don't know what else they can send those multi-coloured knights to do! I mean, if the castles and other structures were good, it wouldn't be so bad, but they are mostly pretty weak!

(Even that new Vladek fortress is lots of huge pieces and it looks pretty bad at some areas!)

I really like your "Merry Old England" idea! It would be very interesting to see that! And the sets would be amazing too! A blacksmith, a baker... a... candlestick maker?! Hahah. Anything!

Oh, and maybe a FREEKIN' FARM!!!!! (Or Mill at least!)

More Vikings. Greek. Roman. The end.

I believe that would belong in a different thread. I was going to post my ideas for a Roman theme, but I wasn't sure which forum it would be in. This is for castle! For classical Civs, we could start a new topic.
