    2012 themes and sets?

    I definitely want to see more Kingdoms sets. More army building sets like Prison Carriage Rescue, Knight's Showdown, Blacksmith Attack, and Escape from Dragon's Prison.

    The battle at Friclifh

    I like your use of the "crossbowman" helmets on the foot soldiers. Or are they supposed to be elite soldiers or captains?
  3. I like to do flat side down for my soldiers holding throwing spears.
  4. I learned about this in a computer class (It was talking about electronic waste but the professor talked about recycling in general as well). Plastic is supposed to be categorized into 7 types (the number in the recycle symbol). Turns out for the US at least, only Type 1 and Type 2 are recycled. The rest is trash because of non plastic impurities inside those products making them expensive to separate and recycle. Plastic bags are generally made out of the non recyclable plastic. For the plastic bags that are recyclable, my state says not to put them in the recycling bin. Because the bags will get contaminated from being mixed with cans and jugs since those usually contain some sort of foodstuff.
  5. I just noticed in the animal section there is a white horse for 0.75USD!!! Less than a dollar for a horse! But it has a funny name. Horse, Head Directed Upwards. Does that mean the head cannot move or something? Has anyone bought the horse? I could use some white horses and they have free shipping right now. I could build a light cavalry army!

    Lego customer service

    me and two other guys on eurobricks received the replacement piece for the pink horse barding and it was still pink.

    Why are these things so popular? I notice a lot of soda and candy machines on youtube.

    What's your latest acquisition?

    Does that mean you do things with your vast minifigure collection? Because so far all I have seen is pictures of them bagged up in plastic containers. I would like to see some if not all of your castle armies all fitted out.

    Lego customer service

    I read once that someone bought a set and inside found a bag from a different set and then they got the original bag free of charge.

    Lego customer service

    It has excellent customer service for sure. They always answer my emails right away. I emailed them about my pink lion knights and got replacements with no problem. The only thing is, when buying stuff from S@H, the shipping they always use for me tends to be the cheapest kind of shipping they can get(despite costing so much considering most online stores offer free shipping all year long now). Half the time the tracking does not even update until the day of delivery. And sometimes I even received the package before the tracking results were even posted. Waiting on two pick a brick orders right now, DHL says "Package tendered" on June 29th and June 30th but it also lists USPS but they say "There is no record of this package". It's been a week with no updates. =(. They might be getting better though since the regular packages (Sets and promotional target practice) arrived promptly though with functional tracking numbers.

    8 years later...

    All of my old bricks are dirty and have dents in them so I just leave them in a bag. I don't have that many though. I just leave them there to remind me of childhood memories. The minifigures are also missing pieces and not in best shape but I keep them in my minifigure pile since I don't mind about that. Although the printing does bother me since newer torsos have incredibly elaborate printing while older minifigures have basic printing.

    Ambush!

    Nice usage of the troll bodies and helmets. I think they make great human warriors.

    What's your latest acquisition?

    I checked his topics he has like 1400 Pirates and Imperial Guard. I remember him saying in the "how many minifigures do you have" topic he had like 40 plastic bins of minifigures and each one was packed with 1000 of them I think. I would like to have such a massive collection, but space is limited, and I would not be able to display them after a while. Right now my largest armies probably only have like 50-100 minifigures (Kingdoms Lion Knight or Skeleton armies should be at least 70 and continue to grow).

    What's your latest acquisition?

    Wow so many dragon knights. I get the feeling if I tried to buy a horde of minifigures I wouldn't be able because you bought them all already. =(.
  18. I wish I was you man. I am greatly jealous of your enormous collection. Madoka you have inspired me to buy more horses and minifigures! I just ordered 14 more horses, and a bunch of gray knight helmets, and more solid gray and pirate torsos and legs/heads for generic knights and pirates. So that will be my third target practice, and I used the Capital One Rewards link to go to Lego S@H, so I will see in a few days if I get the 3% bonus rewards on my order. Only one week left for Lego S@H Free Shipping! I might do one more order for the minifigures and horses. Even though my first two PAB orders have not yet arrived. The USPS tracking for both packages are currently "We have no record of this item". Hey yo, Madoka. Since you have made numerous PAB orders. Are you located in the US, and have you gotten any of your orders yet? I never had to wait so long for a PAB order before. I am sure its going to arrive but I can't help but get worried.
  19. No clue about the book, but the movie didn't they say they gathered 6000 spears? I assumed they meant 6000 cavalry.
  20. Wait, I just realized, Madoka is that user that has like 400,000 minifigures right? I want to be like that. =D. I just want to have a massive army of minifigures. I meant to say not enough room for thousands of minifigures. Well technically I do, but they would all be in boxes instead of display. I only have a few hundred. Mostly Lion Knights, Persians, and skeletons. I definitely would want to make a huge battle scene though. Once my PAB order arrives I will have like 60 horses. Too bad I only have horse bardings and saddles for less than half of them. Guess that means lots of low tech light cavalry!

    Post Your Castle Army Here!

    Ah I see. I just found it odd that you have so many of the persian "peasant" but no dastans or Hassassins. At first I thought those minfiigures in the back were your Dastans on horses.

    Post Your Castle Army Here!

    Wow so many. It looks larger than your ninja army. Hm where are all your Hassassins and Dastans?

    Dragon Knight Outpost

    Yea I find it easier to build something out of limited selection of bricks. If I just have a big pile, I don't know what to do with it. One day I will take all my pieces and make something huge out of it. But until then I will continue making my multiples of the same set mocs.
  24. Wow 1000 horses amazing. I don't think I need that many. Not until I have thousands of infantry at least. BUt I don't think I have enough for that.
