Doctor, it burns when I pee.
Ok, bad jokes aside, welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy yourself. Being an adult is much more fun, since we have money to buy stuff we couldn't when we were kids.
Cheers
Sorry, can't help you there. I'm an eye doctor..although, some of those diseases do get in the eye..hmm.
But so true, so true about being an adult is better for monetary purposes..but of course, now I have the responsibility of working to pay for these things instead of just asking my mom at holidays :). Granted, I still do that.
It reminds me of that skit, where everyone is a doctor, and so everyone keeps addressing each other as Doctor.
Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor.
I can't remember what it's from though.
That sounds really familiar. I can kind of place it in my head and I chuckled remembering it.
Welcome aboard, Doc. Do you have recommended treatment for Lego addiction?
The only medicine I know of is to buy more sets! Fortunately, there is no cure for this addiction.
Welcome to EB!
Enjoy the site.Thank you fellow doctor.

Welcome to Eurobricks, TheLegoDr!
Thank you. It is good to be here. I've learned and seen a lot already!

I saw this set at TRU and was in awe. I'm getting back into legos so I was blown away by this set. I didn't buy it yet, but it is on my list! I love the non-castle castle theme!
-
I love the black knights. This is a great MOC. This is my favorite of your MOCs I've seen so far. You inspire me to create some of my own.
-
I agree with others where this structure is much better, but the figures are better in the escape from dragon prison set. Oh well, that's why you buy both!
-
That dragon general looks awesome. I'm excited to get this set. I would consider multiples just for the knight and the horses barding. I don't see anything wrong with how they made it.
-
I don't really see that as a problem, though. Since the Lion Knights are 'the good guys' and the Dragons are the 'invaders' (who don't even have much of a 'base of operations'), I've always pictured the Lions as having the larger force.
But, maybe that's just me.
As much as I want more dragon knights, I agree completely. The lions should have the larger force and the dragons probably just hit them in small waves to try to break them down. But I have bought multiples of this to build up the armies. I'm only at 13 lions and 10 dragons or something, so not too far off.
-
This is the set that got me interested in all things Kingdoms. I liked the bucket and the chicken the most. The new weapons don't bother me too much, but since they are a different scale than what I am accustomed to, I'd much prefer not having them.
-
This is a nice and decent set for a powerful wizard like Majisto to live in. I still have this on mine display and I assume mine set is complete. In a way, this set is definitely part of the Classic Castle for me, even though it was near to its end. Like what Z06 had mentioned, I will love to take all of my classic factions out and arrange them side by side. It will be fun.
That does sound like fun. I need to dig out all of my previous sets from storage and see how they all look I had close to all of the castle themed sets from late 80s/early to mid 90s. Then for some reason I thought I was too old for legos and quit buying them...
-
I really like the last picture of the big group of Falcons. I need to dig mine out to see how many I have (it will pale in comparison to yours).
Where did you get the large cloth flags with the falcon crest??
-
Since I am new to "MOC"ing, I really like what I see. I don't have any criticisms. I do like the woodwork/rock-work and the little opening on the front-middle above the portcullis.
-
I really like the blue roofing and the archway behind the front doors. I actually built an archway very similar to that without ever seeing this post! Great minds think alike.

Picked up my second Prison Tower Rescue for $34.98 at Target.
That's a really good price! Every Target near me is sold out of everything Kingdoms, other than prison carriage rescue on clearance, which I keep buying anyway :).
but at a markup and in limited quantities for the cheaper prices.
I got
This time a big pick a brick order.Gray torso humans, pirates, skeletons, and horses. And blue spears. Turns out I don't like them. They are made out of rubber instead of abs plastic. And I find them to be incredibly difficult to get into minifgures hands. Even skeleton hands which are normally looser than human minfiigure hands (in my experience at least) resist the blue spears being clipped in.
And its Mastercard Monday at TRU, so I ordered 7 more Escapes from Dragon's Prsions. Expect that package soon.
You ordered SEVEN?!?!
Do you just use the pieces for army builders or do you have a massive fortress also?
-
Agreed. I'd buy multiple Lion or Dragon versions of a set like this. Would really love it if Lego made a 'training set' like my MOC impulse set:
Or how even still, I'd love something similar to 6009 The Black Knight or 6013 Samurai Swordsman.
That would be awesome to see, but I think that might be too many goodies for one little set. But even if they took out one or two things, it'd still help build up armies quickly.
-
I used to love the Wolfpack. I can totally see them hiding out like this. I've been meaning to build hide-outs/fortresses for my factions as well, but mine won't be anywhere near as good as this one.
Good job! I like looking at your MOCs.
-
I am going to keep Crown Knights a vassal kingdom for now unless I decide to get more via bricklink. For now, I am massing Lion knights and dragon knights while they are still cheap. And the occasional skeletons and generic humans from pick a brick.
Good idea. I've considered meshing forces together, but at times I just don't know. But definitely smart to get as many new Kingdoms soldiers now while they are active.

Hello all from the Midwest, USA!
I just recently came across this website and fell in love with legos all over again. Up until last fall with the new Harry Potter sets, I had a 16 year hiatus (back when I was 11 or 12). I have since gotten re-obsessed with legos and purchased all of the Harry Potter sets immediately and have since started the Kingdoms collection. I loved the original Black Falcon/Crusader/Black Knights sets in the late 80s/early 90s and the new sets are helping me get back into the groove. As much as I like LOTR, I'm not really into the fantasy aspect too much with legos. Although I can understand why some people did enjoy those sets.
Thankfully the Mrs doesn't mind that I buy so many legos (and thankfully I have a job to support the new habit). And our daughter is showing an interest as well, so that's awesome.
I'll probably linger mostly in the Licensed forum or the Historic forum, but I have been browsing all of them lately.

There's just something about the Black Falcons that always look so badass, and seeing an entire horde of them like your last shot makes me remember that you don't need state of the art 21st century torso printing to make a beautiful minifig.
BLACK FALCONS FOREVER!!!!
I 100% agree! I always loved the Black Falcons.

I have numerous factions within my lego castle world.
1) Crownies - The kingdom lays to the west, and is currently my largest factions (est. 34 soldiers). They are the main force against the Dark Lord and his minions.
2) Royal Knights - The kingdom lays to the south east of the Crownies (est. 24 soldiers). It consists of the Royal and Crusader lego groups (soon to include the new Kingdom knights, which will make this kingdom the largest in my set). They have warred with the Crownies in the past, however due to the threat of the Dark Lord, an alliance has been formed.
3) Rangers (Forestmen) - No loyalty to any faction, except the to the highest bidder. They fought with the Royal Knights as scouts during the war with the Crownies, however, now they are scouts for the Crownies. (6 soldiers).
4) Bat Knights - The kingdom lays to the North East, in the Mountains (14 soldiers, mostly Calvary). This faction includes the Bull Knights. They fight for the Dark Lord.
5) Imperials - This faction is to the south of the Crownies. (14 soldiers). They are allied with the Crownies due to the trade amongst the two factions.
6) Northmen (vikings) - This faction lays to the North. They are brutal, strong fighters. The king only cares for plundering and pillaging. Not much is known of them, except their limited interactions with the Crownies. They'd attack settlements then leave before the Crownie King could counter-attack. It is thought that they may be in alliance with the Dark Lord.
7) Dwarves - This faction is to the west of the Crownies, in the mountains. (10 soldiers). They are allied with the Crownies due to the trade amongst the two groups.
8) Dark Lord - The Dark lord and his minions, consisting of Orcs, Trolls, Undead, and Evil Men lays to the east. (est. 40 soldiers). The Dark Lord is attempting to collect all mythical relics to gain ultimate power. The Dark Lord is the supreme evil in my lego castle world.
9) Arabs/Persians - This kingdom lays to the far east. (est. 30 soldiers). It is made up of PoP and Indiana Jones sets. They trade extensively with the imperials. The Crownies have sent emissaries to the far east to rally support. However, the Dark Lord has already sent men, as it is rumored the Caliph has in possession a powerful weapon (i.e., dagger).
11) Thieves (WolfPack) - This guild exists within the Crownie kingdom. (6 soldiers). They stay within the shady underbelly of the kingdom realm, mostly, however some are adventurous, and all are expert blades-men.
12) Hobbits - These are peaceful people, located in the valley east of the Crownies. (5 hobbits). Recently, this settlement has gained the attention of the Dark Lord as it is rumored that one hobbit may have stumbled across an ancient treasure.
13) Wizards - These are the wise men of the castle world. (4 wizards; white, grey, blue, black). Some ally with factions, others maintain their neutrality, instead passing on wisdom and advice to the different factions.
14) Black Falcons - This small factions (8 soldiers) is allied with the Royal Knights. The Black Falcon Lord was given the land after his valor in battle in the services of the Royal King. The Black Falcon Lord's Manor is located North of the Royal Knights.
15) Black Knights/Dragon Masters - This faction is located to the Northwest of the Crownies. There is an uneasy alliance between the Black Knights and the Crownies. (est. 24 soldiers).
I like how you have a backstory for each group and the alliances for each. I just started buying the new Kingdoms, but have lots of older Crusaders/Falcons/Dragons from early 90s, so I was considering making alliances as well. Nice job!

Brilliant chicken coop!

I love seeing these huge armies. I've only recently started buying legos again (after a 16 year hiatus (I'm 27 fyi)) and thanks to this Historic Theme forum I started buying the Kingdoms sets. Originally I loved the older Crusaders/Black Falcons/Black Knights and have many of those in storage, but have taken an interest in the newer Lions/Dragons also.
I am at a crossroads. Do I continue to build up my Dragon and/or Lion army to compete with you fine people, or should I build the older armies from which I have a good base already via bricklink? I have found a large amount of the prison carriage rescue on clearance at Target so I have purchased a few of those already.
When I am ready, I will post my army(ies) as well.

Definitely need Kreacher. I really like this set-up. I love all the details on the inside. With that said, I doubt this would ever come to fruition due to that much detail. Plus, 2000 pieces for $100 might be out of reach. But then again, I don't know a lot about TLG overall since I've been out of the game so long.
Keep up the good MOCs, digital or otherwise.
