Admiral Giddens Posted May 20, 2007 The new lines of castle and space are intended to be a "return to roots" effort by LEGO. Both lines got direct suggestions and input from Ambassadors... and even hands on design by 2 (Grand Admiral concepting out the only spaceship in the new mars line). Well, the jury is still out on how classic the new mars line is. But when we saw some preliminary pics of the castle, we all said about the same thing... "EWW CASTLE." No no, that was later. We all said, "man that really has the spirit of old castle, I like it, I want to get it for the good parts." Every one said it. Well I just happened to see the 7093 set available and went ahead and got it. It's got lightning bits, an 3vil wizard with 3vil hat, new robot arms, and white exoforce arms. Plus new bley slopes. It's really designed well and was a fantastic fun build. my website has the pics (but they didn't exactly order correctly on upload) http://pre.classic-space.com/?m=L7 Please try flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fazoom/sets/72157600233042620/ The webcomic starts here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fazoom/505192108/ Hope you enjoy!

Berry Syedow Posted May 20, 2007 Thanks for taking more pictures of this set, admiral. Does the Castle theme impress you enough to warrant more purchases? Also, from the way those lightning bolts are designed, it really does look like TLC intended to use them in the context of a certain Star Wars scene... I guess we'll just have to wait and see (unless someone has a pic to share?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starwars4J Posted May 20, 2007 Thanks for the review Admiral, it's clear you put a lot of time into it, not to mention getting past the personal horror of buying a castle set :-P Thanks again, and I'll delete your duplicate topic for you :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And who designed that lousy command base? :-D Your review is great and funny like always. Unbelievable dragon annoyance on! *y* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wout Posted June 13, 2007 nice review, specially with Fazoom. :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted June 14, 2007 Three bags of extra parts??? I wish I were that lucky! Feel sorry for the guy who's missing three bags... You could expand on the set quite a bit with those pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoda601 Posted January 13, 2008 Nice review, Fazoom. The skull looks like an orc's hear, and yet we get no orcs :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
