That’s lovely. Some great details both inside and out. I love the tower, and have been tinkering with inserting one into my build, albeit more grey castle style than yours.

I can’t see them dropping an Ideas set into the winter village range. That would be like dropping an ideas set straight into the Modulars range.

LEGO Creator 2021 - Rumors, Speculation, and Discussion
jus1973 replied to Digger of Bricks's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I’ve not seen or heard anything for that kind of ride. I’d heard rumours of a pirate ship a while back, but it’s all gone quiet now. The haunted house was released by now, so I’m beginning to wonder if we’re going to get one this year at all. I hope we do. Perhaps it’ll be a November/early December release to bag Christmas wish lists? -
Lego City 2021 Rumours, information and discussion
jus1973 replied to Powered by Bricks's topic in LEGO Town
Whilst my town has a fair few ‘vespas’ but few motorbikes, I’ll probably give these a miss, unless discounted at some point, although I would like a ‘Sons of Anarchy’ club house somehow. On a different note, have just seen the new Technic sets, and love the new heavy duty tow truck. I don’t buy Technic anymore, but would love a City version to be made. I know we had one before but I missed it, and have been MOCing my own off and on for a while, with mixed results. -
Lifeboats will be sold separately.

I picked up the castle, and can say its well worth every penny. With it being modular, to a certain degree, it lends itself to being extended quite well. I’m just working in some MODs atm. The Ferris wheel was an odd one for me, as its just like a shrunken down version of the expert model. No sign of an expert fairground this year, so maybe that’s all we’re going to get. -
Like others have said, its a lovely looking build, but really odd that its come with no fixed make and model. All the other créateur expert cars have been identified as something specific. Looks like it might have been based on something real, but the licence fell through, or the company involved felt it wasn’t quite good enough to put their name on it. I’ve not purchased any of the other expert cars, although the missus bought me Ecto 1 for Christmas. I would like the DB5 and Mustang but i know if I bought them, id end up wanting the whole collection, and I can’t afford that and Modulars and fairground ranges too.

7 improvements for the new creator castle
jus1973 replied to Captain Braunsfeld's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Is it not possible to hang the door on the outside, and have it swinging outwards too. Not quite as clean, but more in keeping. Having built this IRL now, I appreciate that some parts usage is down to the need to be 3 in 1 i think. The tree is a prime example, as a better tree can be made with other brick choices. I would have preferred it if TLG ditched the Dragon/Wyvern and put those bricks into a higher tower, or central courtyard instead. That’s something I’m loooking to do in my MOD, along with adding a couple of generic wall sections, which hopefully could be added to make the castle deeper, or possibly L shaped if i can get it to work right. An armoury is needed inside on one of these walls, and I’m thinking about what to put on the other. -
[HELP] Any ideas for Curtains for 10278 1st floor?
jus1973 replied to blondasek's topic in LEGO Town
With the two vertical plates at either side, you can build curtains quite easily using any number of plates and tiles. Should be fairly simple, using these kind of plates. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catID=583 -

Not sure when that was released, but it probably reflected the notion that there was a fair bit of violence at football matches in the 80s and 90s. -
I saw that too, and got excited for a fairground release, and then realised it said Star Wars in the box. Whilst I have the UCS MF, the rest of the range is not of interest to me really.
-
Part of me hopes for kits for specific models, but I think these will be poor sellers when compared to a generic lighting kit, and possibly more expensive to set up, with different boxes, instruction printing etc. Maybe it’ll be generic kits, and then digital instructions using probably more than one kit for each of the big builds, like Modulars or Fairground. I do wonder if there will have to be special plates, with metal embedded, like we had in the dim and distant past too.
-
I, for one, would welcome a slightly lower priced Fairground set, maybe along the lines of the Fairground Mixer set, which I completely missed out on. I feel the fairground needs some smaller stalls and amusements to populate the spaces between the big four rides. I’ve dropped the UFO carousel in, and have the pirate coaster to somehow fit in too, but its lacking closeness, so perhaps we’ll get these this year, which will no doubt disappoint some.

Thanks for this. Was one of the odd things that i wondered about improving. -
An epic build with some amazing details. Congrats on capturing the high school style in every possible way. Superb.
