The usual place on IG. I think Kai looks pretty good. The skull sorcerer's face is good. Really want to see the dragon now.

This is fantastic, easily recognizable yet has some new techniques and colors. I like the symmetry of the colors on the castle from dark grey and light grey. The gate house is really a fine looking build. I think the arches throughout the build are a nice touch that resembles the original. The use of the green slope pieces is nice addition of color to the build and an interesting use here, looks really good. Everything is so clean on this build making it look sleek and refined. The figs are great, I like the use of the cmf elf combining it with the kingdoms dragon knights is a good idea. Wonderful build.

Neat little scene. I like the trees and the use of plates for the land. Nice old school castle figs too.

I like the tan bricks for the rock work. Very nice clean build on the castle. I like the dark grey tiles accenting the walls and the tower. Nice interior and some good looking figs too.

Exactly. I wish more people on these forums felt like you do. A very realistic and still positive approach to something we all on here love. I think the complaining on here gets very off-putting sometimes and the fact that Lego is still a kids toy at heart look at the new Mario line. I mean there is stuff Lego makes that I don't like but I don't sit here for hours stewing over the fact that they didn't make a minifigure I wanted or they way I wanted it to look. Or even sometimes people get all hurt and feel they are entitled to certain sets, prints, minifigs, molds, etc. I'm still just freakin thrilled we even got LOTR/Hobbit sets and can't wait for the blacksmiths shop. As you said some great figs in the CMF's like the viking and Knight and the new Ninjago looks great especially the figs so far. I also think this years marvel sets could be great and the new wonder woman set looks fantastic.

awesome job. Monochrome builds can be really good or really off but I think it works nicely here. The use of the tooth and horn pieces is a clever idea.

Excellent build. I like the tower and how you have the profile bricks on the inside. The colors used for the wall and the tower look great. The variation of plants you have is fantastic, really adds some depth to the build. The tiered ground levels also bring an extra level of detail to the build. Great job.

Great white looks awesome. So many different sea creatures this year is going to be great.

Very nice MOC of Sauron. The size is good and I like the design. Nice use of the batman capes.

The new armor also reminds me of WOW, Warhammer, Dungeons and Dragons, Elder Scrolls and even some of the weird orc armors in the LOTR movies. It's definitely usable in a fantasy setting and as you say even a historical setting if used correctly. I don't know if I agree that you can't use the torso's because of the asian symbols, It's lego you can use it for what ever you want especially in a fantasy setting. The symbols could be anything you want them to be. I really like the new wave and can't wait to see the sets.

The new sting-ray is very nice. I like the angler fish too although the color is odd, I still like the mold. Both will be nice additions to my MOC's.

Really liking all the armor, shields, and weapons so far. The figs look fantastic and are going to be great for customs. Can't wait for the dragon too.

Very nice version of this set. I like the incorporation of the venus fly trap and the newer mushroom pieces. The interior looks great. I like the bookshelves and the potion room.

Very busy scene. I like all the minifigs and the buildings have some nice variations in color and design. Do you have any other different photo's? It would be nice to see some different angles of the scene.

Excellent build. I like the way the part with the window leans outward. The roof is great, and really nice texturing with the walls. The pathway is neat, and the landscaping is nice with all the plates and plant pieces.

The troll guy looks pretty good. Like the sword too. Ninjago is going to have so much useful stuff in it.

New troll guy and sword look good. Hope we see the sets soon.

Nice siege engine. I like the drop gate. Wheels look sturdy and rugged.

Yeah not to thrilled about there only being 3 vikings per box. I guess I'll be searching harder for that one. I do like the face prints on both.

Nice job. I really like the mask and head. Some nice details on the arms and guns. Cool to see you having fun with your son building.

I think this is great even though it's different from the original idea. I'll definitely be picking up one of these. My youngest son thinks it's an awesome set. Nice job redesigning the set. Really can't wait to build this it's going to be fun.

I hear you but at this point i will take what I can get. The castle sets of the 80's and 90's were some of my favorites and building them back then was great. Fantasy era had some nice sets and Kingdoms was good with the village raid and other sets. But since we are getting that viking and knight in the CMF's and hopefully the blacksmith shop this year, the summer Ninjago wave looks great for castle builds, and the hidden side castle seems to have some great figs that's good enough for me at this point. We also have the centaurs in Harry Potter coming. I mean at least we are getting something instead of absolutely nothing. It could be a lot worse, we could get nothing castle at all or castle like. At least we can use these figs for custom figs of our own. I can't sit here and complain all day that we have no true castle theme, sometimes you got to take what you can get until they actually release a castle theme.

The knight and a statue from hidden side leaked and are looking pretty good. The detailing on the knight is really good and I hope the castle is an actual castle not just part of one. Another skeleton leaked from Ninjago and looks great, I like it better than the black one. It's going to be a good year for us castle fans.

I really like the printing on the knight. Hope we see pictures of the sets soon. The castle could be great I hope.

Interesting tower. I like the texturing of the tower. The wooden parts look good with the tan and black roofs. The base has some nice coloring. Well done.
