  1. I agree and as far as the female knight, this is not a historical set based on a specific person in time and history. It's a classic lego castle based set, but classic lego castle has had fantasy elements in them, ie dragons, wizards, skeletons, trolls, etc. So you could see it as a more fantasy based set which in a lot of fantasy there are female knights. And this being a gripe with people then why not just switch it out with a male head if you don't like it that is what makes lego great you can change the things you don't like. I've been doing that since I was a kid. And here we are still on the goat thing it's actually mind boggling the amount of people that can't fathom not getting a goat. The interior is great though, really liking the whole set more and more now. Molds break it happens and sometimes they just don't make a new one. What is there not to buy. Molds break like the old sword mold so they made a different sword. I'm sure they will make another goat give it time. It's not high on their priority list right now most likely. They haven't made a sheep either but I'm not going make a big deal about it because it's really not that important right now.
  2. Your taking this way too personal. What you do in your life is your own deal. All I will say is this is not a cheap hobby and has never been. I am not throwing shade on anyone that can't afford Lego. There are ways to make more money though.
  3. Ok I thought is was just me or my computer. That's good info to have thanks.
  4. Then buy a set you can actually afford. Lego is not a cheap hobby to get into. Not only does buying sets get expensive but also storage and space for all the Lego you have. And if you want a more expensive set save money where you can or pick up extra cash by doing extra work. The set has 2 large molds for the dinosaurs which drives the price up as Guyon said and the set seems reasonable to me. Dinosaurs are nice to have I don't have many because I usually buy other themes, but I do like the raptors and my son has a t-rex that is very nice. It will be interesting to see if there will be new dino's and what they will be in the sets.
  5. It would be nice but I won't hold my breathe. I am really interested to see the builds and hopefully some nice figs. I hope there are some animals in the set but most if not all will be brick built. Like I said they might surprise us with a nice molded animal. I do like the tan horse in the blacksmith shop set.
  6. Great looking build. I like the texturing and the way you designed the windows. I like the old school feel with the figs and the color choices. The interior is nice and clean.
  7. No I find it unbelievable in this day and age that adults are triggered and whining over a kids toy. People can cry and complain all they want I'm not saying you don't have a right to. Freedom of speech have at it. I just think some people look petty with all the complaining. Of course there are things I don't like about certain sets. I just find it better to look at the positive in things and try to stay positive in these crazy and trying times. Personally I would love to take all my frustrations out in a mosh pit but no concerts for now. I think all the negative talk just breeds more and it gets taxing. I like reading what people think just not the same things over and over and over. Yeah I would love more animals but that's not what we are getting and nothing is going to change that. The set is already in production. I just find it interesting that some of us as adults get so heated over a little plastic toy. In the grand scheme of life it's not that important, I mean there are so many other things that need changing first in this world before we need to try and get Lego to cater to us Afol's more.
  8. I've been saying this in general about this site. And the fact that Lego is a toy aimed at children for the most part. There seems to be a certain amout of entitlement that some people have when they don't get what they want. It's really a shame. The way some people act like sets suck and Lego should have done this or add that or put certain minifigs in a set. It's unbelievable. I mean the backlash on the blacksmith shop is unbelievable to me for the simple fact that people have been saying that if lego makes a castle set they will buy it to support the possible return of lego castle and now they see the set it doesn't have enough animals I mean come on. Then these will be the same people that will cry when there is no lego castle stuff to buy for the next several years. Yeah the sets not as detailed as in the blacksmith shop. Yeah the City gardens isn't what everyone thought it was going to be but I think it's a pretty neat set and has some great features. I agree if you don't like it don't buy it or buy it and mod it.
  9. It's a creator set so it will probably be a brick built horse, but they may surprise us and throw in a large molded animal. It will be interesting to see what the other 2 builds will be alternate to the castle.
  10. I hope this comes out soon. I'm just itching for something official lego castle to buy. I really do hope that lego does more castle ideas sets.
  11. Awesome build here. I like the dragons design, the head and wings are great. The different layers in the build give it some nice depth. The landscaping and rock work flow together nicely. The tree design is wonderful. The color choices here work very well, the dragon colors and the build itself. Really good work here.
  12. I would love a Morbius set. I am reading the new Morbius comic now although with covid I'm behind and will have to find editions 5 and up. I really would love a Moon Knight fig too. As Morbius and Moon Knight are 2 of my favorite comics I'm reading currently. I just hope all this covid crap is calmed down by the time Terrificon is going on in August so I can take my kids it was such a great time a couple of years ago.
  13. It will not be micro scale that's not what creator is. It might be a modern version of a castle but we will find out soon enough. Either way it should have some decent parts and hopefully decent figs.
  14. Yeah the sets are great. My youngest son and I are trying to get all the sets so we can play the game. The show is fun to watch and I hope you and your wife have a good time watching it. There are actually a lot of great sets Lego could make from the shows that they haven't made yet.
  15. That's interesting hopefully it will have some decent figs. If they are black falcon again its going to be a good year for black falcon fans. Interested in seeing what the castle will look like too. That is a bummer. Hoping for something in the fall or winter then.
  16. Kind of like that. Do you like the Ninjago D&D inspired season? I think the sets are great and I love the skull dragon, just looks so menacing when displayed. I really did like the elves line and they had some great dragons there too. I really liked the goblin kings dragon. But I am hoping lego does do a fantasy theme soon with more dragons and mythical creatures. Ninjago has some nice dragons but some are to sci-fi or mechanical. The new Disney Raya the last dragon sets do look nice and remind me of the elves theme. I also hope the Harry Potter line continues with new molds like the centaur and hopefully make different creatures from the movies or books.
  17. I like the stained glass. The color choices look nice together. The build has that creepy feel in the first picture. Nice rock work too.
  18. Great build. I really like the design of the build, and nice technique on the floor. The figs looks great too.
  19. I don't agree with the less violence. Especially with the resurgence of Harry Potter which is very dark and violent, especially in the The deathly hallows. Lego also makes Marvel and DC sets and the recent marvel movies have been violent with death of popular characters and blood, etc. Stranger Things they just did also. So them going less violent I don't see it right now as an excuse to not make castle or pirates. The shields just seem to get more updated over time and they seem to get a more modernized design. But I do see your point about the shields and color choices. Even the kingdoms dragon logo was just a more modern design of a dragon where as the dragon knights design was more generic.
  20. No like in fantasy adventure books or games like skyrim. They would be human in form but with dragon like features like scale skin, claws, possibly a tail some have them others don't. Facial features like a dragon. And obviously dragon armor. I just something castle soon the blacksmith shop with the black falcon knights that is coming soon is nice but I'm really hoping for a full theme of castle or fantasy.
  21. @Aanchir those are some nice parts. My son just got that Ninjago master of elements set the weapons in green a great color that could be used for wood elves, or dryads. I really like the earth green bush. The new face on the ghost in the $10 Cole battle set is awesome love that print, has to be one of my favorites.
  22. That's the beauty of Lego you can tear it down and build whatever you want. I have a lot of the 80-90's sets still have quite a few of my original forestmen. Still have some wolfpack, and have a bunch of the red torso with the scale armor print. Still have all my black falcons and lion knights all in good condition. I used to just build the set and then either mod it or build something completely different after I played around with the original for a while. Those were good times. I can't believe how well the old figs hold up. I actually hope they do a new dragon faction with actual dragon men that would be awesome.
  23. All 3 sets look great. So many great parts and the designs are really nice. This is going to be an expensive year for me for Lego. That sword looks great.
  24. No problem. I do really like the new hermit crab in the CMF. I also do hope the recolor the small bird as it is it's only white and blue. I'm hoping for red, black, grey, yellow, green, purple, and various shades of all colors really. I also hope they do a vulture or could possibly recolor the eagle to fit a vultures colors. I hope they recolor the patronas's from Harry Potter. I would also like some different shades of the chicken mold. A release of the cow again would be nice too. Hope the national geographic thing keeps going and we get some more interesting obscure animals.
  25. Wonderful builds all around. Some very nice details in all of them. All the builds are clean and sleek. You definitely have your own style. The figs look excellent too. I wish I had more time to enter this year but work got really busy for the end of year push. Good luck in the contest.
