Wout Posted December 6, 2007 After weeks putting money aside, I bought the great castle 7094. What a big build, It took me some +/- 6 hours to complete it, I'm happy I did'nt bought the UCS Millenium Falcon X-D But it has lots and lots of nice pieces (and not so many big very specific pieces) This is IMHO the best castle in 10 years. :'-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kliq Posted December 7, 2007 Well for some reason I'm in a 'buy a bunch of minifigs' mood, so I bought a bunch of guys off bricklink that resemble bounty hunters. I also bought the 'lord of the jungle' minifig that came with the jungle Adventurers sets because I thought he would look neat next to King Kahuka and the islanders. I also just realized that the Alpha Team bad guy Ogel is LEGO spelled backwards. *y* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen them beofre! *sing* what do you mean? in action? kinda hard though. if you want still photo, you can see on bricklink too. :-P i'll take pic of the three (shooting, flicker and non-shooting) side by side, but as a simple description, the shooting is entirely grey, the flicker has a black pin, the non-shooting has an emblem of 2 cannons at the top and also a small round protrusion at the top, next to the emblem.

natelite Posted December 9, 2007 I'd just like to see a picture of the cannon, not doing anything. Could you give me the link on Bricklink, I can't find anything on Bricklink. :-$ :-$ left-most is the shooting cannon. you can see it has a grey pin. the middle is the flicker cannon which has a black pin. the right-most is the non-shooting cannon, which has the double cannon emblem and a lighter pin at the top. the shooting cannons have a pin inside the barrel to load the round bricks. the non-shooting cannon has an empty barrel. both of these physical characteristics determine which cannon you get. now that you have this knowledge, you can shop safely on ebay without getting ripped off. X-D X-D i know even a few listings that tried to sell the legend sets as w/ shooting cannons yet attached the non-shooting cannon in the pictures. most US sets are non-shooting. only the very earlier US sets are (probably late 80s). european sets have mostly shooting cannons. not sure about the more recent 2000s legend sets. :-/ per my tests (with cannons aimed at approx 30 degree angle), shooting cannons can shoot as far as 12-15 feet. flicker cannons are around 3-4 feet. the shooting cannons are quite strong too, so definitely do not aim at eyes or let young kids play with them. it's very fun to play though. so much more realism when staging an attack on fort eldorado. lol... :-D :-D i hope they make a comeback should TLC decides to make pirate sets in 09! *y* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex54 Posted December 9, 2007 A very interesting post... I just know the shooting cannon (I've got two of them)and dind't know before today that TLC has made 3 cannons... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
