Mr. Lego-builder Posted May 27, 2005 Woo-hoo! It's the Valdek's Fortress, isn't it? Give us your insights and a reveiw! Don't forget pictures, also! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted May 27, 2005 Yes it is! And I'm only on the third bag, but my review so far: Wow. Best castle for a LONG time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lego-builder Posted May 27, 2005 Speaking of reviews, what happened to the one on the City mobile crane that you said you would write? (If I'm correct, that was a LONG time ago.) Did you change your mind and not write it, or did I just miss it? And one more question. Does this castle actually have a back or 4 sides to it? Or it is designed like the previous KK2 castle (having no back)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted May 27, 2005 As far as the crane review, I decided not to review it, since it caused me a lot of stress. Take that, LEGO! :P But this is a great set. No, it doesn't have a back, but I do have the KK2 'good' castle, and this is ten times better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted May 27, 2005 Final verdict: holy megablock. So many incredible pieces. SO MANY. And the figs! Oh the figs. Somewhat a lack of interior decoration and contraptions, but still. Tons of great castle pieces. TONS of regular 1-wide bricks. The little 'siege' vehicles aren't fantastic - when have they ever been - but are still fun. I got like 20 extra metallic teeth! Pictures tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lego-builder Posted May 27, 2005 Can't Wait! I bet I'll be joining you (and everybody who sees the pics) saying: holy megablock! ;) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (You're always the one with unexpected extra pieces, aren't you?) |-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
