I find it funny that they called this piece the "see plant". Plus ow I have to spend an hour or more to update some of my older models (7740 remake and Italian restaurant, in particular).

M-18 Repeling the fire cavalry is a hard job, but it gets easier when the threat of fire is out. Edthgar and his forces finally finished fighting the cavalry just as Teythar was finished questioning their orc friend.

Hahaha... what happened to not having to check back everyday?

Very cool, although I'm not sure why a ninja would be defending against an attack with briefcases. Are they protective padding?

Here's a review of the second largest set in the Dragon Masters subtheme for castle month, Dark Dragon's Den! Figs: The set comes with 3 Dragon knights, two of which have the dragon wings on their helmets(Sad thing is, one of my knights was missing the left wing on the helmet). There are also the definitive dragon, Wiz the wizard (or Majisto if you prefer)two horses, and a hawk( try to find him in each picture!) The set: there's a large spot under the mountain for the dragon to guard the treasure chest. The chest has 2 red and green 1x1 circles in it. Another gate in the back, along with a door for knights. The right side of the mountain has a ladder and a removable rock face. The left side has some stairs leading up to the top. I love this tree design. simple yet effective. A shot of the top- Hey, what are you doing?!? NO!! Throw him in the dungeon! Overall: This set when first released in 1993 was priced at $43USD, although that might just be because of the <insert that tiresome argument> pieces (6 BURPs!). It's a fun set that provides excellent playability. If you can find it at a $20-$30 price point, pick it up. Overall grade: 8/10

I'd buy a bunch of these just for the ants to make an ant farm! I also like the bowl cut.

Edthgar and the other Crown knights noticed the outpost gate burning.he ordered his men to put the fire out, and used water to douse the flames. the fire caused the wood to be weak and expected the skeletons to break in at any moment with all of his troop and his new allies...

Edthgar was pleased to see that reinforcements had arrived. Hiding in the castle wouldn't help out much longer, and his forces trying to defend with arrows, spears, and hot oil seemed a bit primitive. This foe was brutal, and had to figure out a way to fight back. He then saw that the leader of the new troops and told him that the orc was with them, and that he was dealing with him. He told Rodriguez to lock up the orc in the hold and to bring three men with him to fight back with the new troops. Three wasn't a wise number to go out with, but that was more than half of his men. fighting back, he proceeded to chop off the heads of various skeletons...

I chose all four, as Lego is as much a plaything as it is a hobby.

Some are posed in various ways, some are in storage, some are up north in storage(and by up north I mean in Connecticut. )

Sorry, my bad. a cold really effects your time.

M-18 Replying to the Orc's question, Edthgar replied, and told him he was commander of the eastern outpost, and told him that he had an idea on how to get both of them out of their troubles. The three of them got back just before the Skeleton forces reached them. Edthgar noticed what appeared to be the leader of the skeleton forces in the middle group. He told the enemy forces: "We have one of your allies, do I not? We will only release him if you leave this area for one week." ("Is this wise?" he thought, "Is bribery moral, even for the protection of land?" The skeleton leader paused and thought...

Edthgar approached slowly, as this had been the closest he had been to these trolls besides in battle. He asked who he was and what his relations were to the Undead forces. Rodriguez on horseback soon came quickly after Edthgar and told him that signs of an Undead army by the eastern outpost. He soon started to leave, and suggested that the orc known as Fershwitz Boran to follow them, even if it was unwise to bring in possible enemies to Crown Knight areas. He waited for the orc's reply.

Location: M-18 Edthgar grows weary. He hasn't seen much action by the Trolls or the Undead forces in weeks. He asks his second in command Rodriguez on what he thinks. Rodriguez replies: NOTE: Rodriguez is green, Edthgar is Dark Blue "Well, were a good two days walk to the capitol, and we have less than ten people as the first defense on the front. I'd call in for some reinforcements, along with a bit more weaponry from the Dwarfs." "That does sound good, but what if an enemy troop attacks the Dwarfs en route? Look at this map (shows map to Rodriguez). If the troops coming from the Capitol meet up with the dwarfs 20 kilometers from here, they could then meet up for the rest of the trip." "But what about the trip to the checkpoint?" "Well, that all appears to be luck. I'm also thinking of sending some representatives to the Troll lands to see if we can make an agreement." "That doesn't sound all that wise, so I'm going to let you think about it" As Rodriguez left the room, Edthgar looked out and saw what appeared to be a hooded Orc passing through the forest up north to Wolfpack area with an ax and followed on foot.

I think it was from china, as the seller is in Hong Kong. One of the main reasons I wanted to get it was that my brother wants me to make an army, so since these seem to be not expensive I was thinking of just getting these. I was also wondering how some of the colors compare to Lego bricks. maybe another reason was that I wanted construction workers with Stormtrooper armor! *laugh*

Browsing eBay for castle sets, I found a seller whose selling Enlighten sets for prices under $10. I was thinking of getting a few. Should I get them? Link: Enlighten seller

Not if we get to you first! *tongue*. I call first dibs!

I'm all for a Nintendo themed contest. I love your mocs, can't wait to see Mother Brain. Are you going to do Ridley and Kraid?

Yay! New pieces for figs! Now I can finally stop pretending that train engineers are both firemen and policemen! Plus actual weapons besides that one space gun.

I'm up for some invaders. you two are up my alley!

Here's an update for the guardsmen who watch over the plain of 18-M with Edthgar. From left to right: Bruno, Rodriguez, Michaelangelo, Bunter, Javier, Benjamin, "Little" Charlie Bruno: Very eager for battle, loves a good arm wrestle. Rodriguez: A lover with a fine taste for wine, but any form of alcohol will suffice. Michaelangelo: A soldier with many scars which tell even more stories. Has a bit of a soft side. Bunter: Not that bright in the head, but surprisingly good at long ranged weaponry. Javier. Just the all-round, likable guy who's does well in anything. Assigned to train the "two little ones" Benjamin: One of the "two little ones", is easily scared and not all that brave. "Little" Charlie: One of the "two little ones", really not sure why he joined the army in the first place. 2-1 odds he'll get killed first. Go Castle Month!
