US Pepsi trucks would not be that tiny. Either Canada, NZ, Australia, South America, or somewhere in Europe.

The topic is about an alliance between Classic-Castle, the hub of all Lego Castle fans, and EuroBricks that gets info about any new Lego before anyone else.

Some BLer who told me that "Roman-like shields will be coming" over a year before KK2 came out, then tells me that Vikings is part of a new Historic line. If this is true and this what will happen in the Lego world, then I can only react in one way..... :') :') :') *tears of joy* LOL! :D

Thanks for the replies guys. Im actually restarting my work on my military theme this month. Thanks to Lego I finally got my wish... a set that has tank treads. This will enable me to buy tank treads in lower cost than before, meaning more (smaller) tanks will be rolling off the War Factory. The T-105 actually took 170 tread links, which is 10 less than the 5 packets of 36 all together. Each packet costed me about $10.50 each at BrickLink over a year ago. Hopefully that new SW set will make their prices cheaper. Here's pics some of the military vehicles I'll be turning into Lego MOCs. http://maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=399 As far as tanks go Im currently working on the T-98. After that... perhaps the UK's Challenger II, or pay tribute to my girl's homeland and build the Israeli Merkava Mk.3 tank.

I looked at more Military toys.... and found this.... http://www.voyagertoys.com/product_details...ImageSize=Large Almost makes you wanna join the military.... :D This totally PWNZ the GWB toy.

I only donate money directly to Unicef, Save the Children, Red Cross, or any of those other REAL & LEGIT charity and relief organizations. My experiences in my homeland, the Philippines, as well as what I observed after the 9/11 attacks happened in my NYC.... was that some people will say they'll donate what proceeds and profits they have made and ask you to give them money to help them do that. When in reality they just keep the $$$ that you give them. I think it is a sick, disgusting, and disgraceful thing to take advantage of other people's calamities and tragedies to line one's own pockets. >:(

Does it say where its made from? I heard that China was making dolls.. sorry.. "action figures"... of both Osama and Bush. Or as Nostradamus calls them... Mabus. |-D

Im basically gonna copy & post the thread I made at Classic-Castle... -------- The movie is called KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is about the Crusades, and stars Orlando Bloom. Jerusalem is the main city involved in the movie, thus the title. Its directed by Ridley Scott, same guy who directed Gladiator. Odd... how this guy (Bloom) seems to go for movies with battles in them... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320661/ http://www.kingdomofheavenmovie.com/ Yahoo movies has a preview containing some battle scenes including the Siege of Jerusalem.

I bought this to BrickFest 2004. It the larger cousin of the smaller Iron Dragon that Im making right now. The Imperial Dragon is supposed to be the super-sized version of it. The Iron Dragon will be in the "correct" tank-to-person/minifig scale. I based both tank designs off of this "super tank" that was reported by the reliable Defense Industry newsletter Janes.com around the middle of 2003. I've also been able to get a pic of a likely design that the Chinese will use for their new supertank from a Chinese military forum. According to Janes the new tank will have a 152mm cannon, compared to the M1A2 Abram's 125mm cannon. Considering the size of the barrel it will probably use tank-gun fired missiles. It is suspected that it will probably out-class the M1A2. T-105 "Imperial Dragon" main battle tank http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=112126 Compared to other tanks at BrickFest2004 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=873483 An older pic that better shows the MOC's similarity to the pic I based it off from. This was before I added the anti-optics defensive laser, and 35mm anti-aircraft gun, as well as change the color of the main gun. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=859731 I just made up the codename and designation number of the real tank. No information has come out yet of what it'll be called.

Make Castle sets that has no attachment whatsoever to Bionicle. :D

Some of us CCers are interested in partnering up with EuroBricks. Im not speaking for the admins nor am I one, just speaking as an enthusiastic member of Classic-Castle. http://www.classic-castle.com

I like all the sets. I think the Bionicle Fafner oughta have been bricks instead. As for the beards, me thinks they're like the capes. I think its made of a cloth neckpiece connector to attach to the minifig and the rest is some fuzzy fiber. But at least these beards look realistic and you can put them over armor pieces.

Is it possible to have 2 lines of Castle? Vikings can easily pass as a Castle theme. Although KK2 system scale is already Castle... well, imo Castle theme just rocks so much it deserves to have more than 1 line. :D

Just wondering if anyone has got info from any Lego official if Vikings are either a stand alone theme, a secondary Castle theme, or a new Pirates theme?
