At first glance, I thought it was a Jedi Starfighter. Looks great. The color scheme fits it well. And the engines are creative.

AH I see, that's getting very technical though. Well if it comes with some sort of military vehicle that would be awesome imo.

Having not been into Lego until this month, whats this lawsuit? Liscence wise how are battle packs any different than impulse sets? Well battle packs would be even better, more minifigs, variable gear(I guess bad if you want multiples of the same piece of equipment), and probably some neat accessories and/or vehicle.

Make your own minifig? Man I wish they had a lego store in nyc.

After a 14 year haitus, I just started collecting lego again at the beginning of this month. So I missed out on most of the 2007/2008 sets. So this was the only set I could get with skeletons. Well I could try for King's Castle Siege, but its expensive plus seems to be out of stock everywhere I checked (on the verge of being OOP?). I might get more later on for the gray bricks + skeletons + Gold Knight. Dunno what I would do with all the queens and jesters. Although its probably cheaper if I just buy gray bricks + skeletons via online Pick a Brick, but the shipping is outrageous, kind of cancel outs the savings. I think the drawbridge is awesome. And the minifigs are definitely the best part of the set. The Jester is practically exclusive, gold knight and queen are exclusive. And aside from King's Castle Siege, no other current castle sets have skeletons. The Crown Knight is the only minifig you can get plenty of in other sets.

I hope they make some sort of impulse set for the Toy Story Army Men minifigs. Just swap out the hands and heads, and you got army minifigs. The heads and hands could go and make smiling zombies/mutants/aliens/trolls/etc.

That's freaking amazing Batbrick. I have been reassembling childhood sets of old pieces that I had lying around. Lots of missing pieces and some missing minifigs. =(. I have a Drawbridge Defence for the gray bricks. and some other duplicate sets that have a gray brick or two. So hopefully I can start on some post apoc stuff soon. I used the remaining gray bricks to put this together. Wanted to see what I could come up with before taking apart other stuff I have built. No baseplates, so I just put smaller plates together, thus the odd placement of bricks on the floor. I like the staircase the most.

Outpost created out of my second Drawbridge Defence Lego set. It's a previously abandoned troll fort, and partially renovated by humans. Then abandoned again. Two knights, accompany the Queen and her bodyguard/entertainer and rest in this outpost to find out why it was abandoned. Skeletons! Zoomed out View Closeup on entrance Roof still containing "orkitecture" Rest of the pics EDIT: Changed first pic to a more clear one I hope.

Those are some good points. I will keep that in mind for future posts. I figured I should start out with the entire thing in view. But I only have a cellphone camera so my pic quality can only go so far. I would rather spend the money a proper camera costs on more Lego to be honest.

Okay thanks a lot. Aside from the boat, it doesn't seem like I have any of those minifigs or bricks. I guess I got the boat from someone else.

If possible, what accessories they are supposed to come with. Generic looking dudes These minifigs have stickers. That doesn't seem right. I am considering the possibility that I stuck some stickers onto them from something else. Obviously this is Space Police, but anyone know what he might have been equipped with? Which minifigs does this space pack belong to? (I have 3 of them) Thanks a lot.

Rather than make another topic, does anyone know what ID number this boat is? Or what set it was used in? It has the lego logo on every stud, but I don't see any numbers.

And I guess bricks that you tried cleaning but are still dirty. I could never throw/sell any lego. I have older bricks that were damaged during childhood. I sitll have them, but don't see myself using them anytime soon. I did take one piece and shave off excess plastic sticking out. That way if I decide to use it again, it will not get stuck. Of course I can't do anything about the holes in them. Has anyone made use of damaged/super dirty pieces in creations? Like maybe to represent damage from weather/battle/etc. Dirty bricks can represent weathering lol. I just broke my first piece since restarting my lego collection a few weeks ago. I dropped a troll minifig and a small piece of the left hand chipped off. It's barely noticable, but still noticable. Bottom line, it doesn't matter since I intend on buying more troll sets. I should really stop dropping pieces. Some pieces(more like a lot) are already scratched up due to my clumsiness. Plus its so hot, so some sweat/skin oil smudges can be found on some pieces as well.

I spent a few hundred USD restarting my Lego Collection in the past month. I should stop buying sets. But Castle sets will be OOP soon, which makes me want to buy more of the sets while I still can. Well I have quite a bit of crownies and trolls so I should be satisfied for now. The best I can do is just think to myself that newer sets will come, so I don't want to spend all my money on just Castle sets.

Great stuff. But I have a question, what does fleshie mean? I assume some sort of part, but what kind?

Perhaps he has great interest in African based MOCs. Does it really matter what theme his MOC's are based upon? You make it sound like there is something wrong here.

I have all my lego bags, and gundam model kit bags, and even kept the air filler bags from packages. Using them to store lego. But I ran out of those plastic zippy things to tie the bags.

I tried making my King's Battle Chariot into something else before putting it into the brick box for future creations. But the result didn't really strike me as creative enough to display. So I will post pics here instead. The "scene" Close up on trolls in semi hoplite formation Even more closeup to show the shield protecting both the wielder and the soldier to the left. The younger prince in his crossbow tower with stakes at the bottom. Used the king torso and helmet to give him a noble/aristocrat appearance and used the crown knights head to make him look younger. The older prince riding out to attack the trolls on his horse. Gave him the King's head to make him look like a grisly veteran, and armor for more protection.

Stickers are alright. While printed parts definitely look better, bricks that come with stickers can be regular bricks if you choose not to apply the sticker. Allowing parts to be reused for other things.

I just got my first defective piece. Is it wrong if I don't fill out that replacement form? I just feel too lazy to go through the hassle just for one brick. The defect is minor and doesn't seem to prevent it from being used. Well I bought 2 drawbridge defences, so I will wait until I build both of them before checking out the brick replacement thing. Great set btw. I might pick up more later on since its only 40usd and has nice grey bricks for castle building, and has skeleton minifigs. Although I am sure it would be cheaper if I bought them via bricklink, I want to support TLC directly. I guess I should consider the online PAB service as well. I wish there were lego stores in NYC.

Do you have any pics of example modifications?

I fixed the M-Tron and forgot I had a hairpiece and a leftover blue leg Pic of the remaining unidentified minifig parts.

It probably is M Tron. I will tear off the stickers when I get the chance. But I thought the stickers belonged previously so I used Krazy Glue to glue them back on. I hope they won't be damaged when I tear them off. My cousin forces me to spend time with him a lot. Thanks a lot. In fact it looks like I had this minifig pack. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=6704-1

Looks amazing. The battle scene rocks. The tower looks a tiny bit like the Orthanc from LOTR. Well mostly just the top.

You linked to that Classic town minifig twice. But thanks a lot. I will put the red visor back onto the Space Police I minifig right away. I guess perhaps the red ones are just generic or some older space and I switched up the visor and possibly added stickers from Megablocks(well I do have a megabloks spaceship thingy called Blok Blaster II). If not, then I dunno where the stickers are from. If I get confirmation the stickers are not from Lego, I will tear them off to see whats underneath. I tried looking up the BLok Blaster II but couldn't find any info. =(.
