    I love this design! i just can't bring me to buy the instructions for $40 bucks. I would buy them for $20... Just letting you know the price breakdown. I might not ever build this but i would like to look through the build, and figure pieces and if i have the right items.

    In this photo bottom right - what are the two buildings next to Market Village 10193?

    so in the 90s and 80s you used to be able to weigh a pack or cards (sports) and determine if there was a foil inside. literally a few thousandths difference.

    i wonder if the weight difference of each box varies enough to be able to have a scale reflect that difference. If so i guess i could just bring a portable digital scale and weigh each one and the ones that match purchase those and see how close it was, lol.

    I guarantee if they had some crowdfunding thing where you could get a minifig for 2.99 of the classics or like 4 for 10 i bet you they would have some multimillion kickstarter.

    The overall price for a minifigure hasnt changed by much. On these older ones there wouldnt be any printing on the backside or leg printing. The actual plastic for the "new" minifigure is not that much more... but i understand overall pricing in general may have inflated so i can see the rise of the pricing.

    minifigs havent become more expensive to produce in the last ten years. However they have a "Coolness" or "Elitist" or some other word to describe their external secondary market value. So they "know" they can markup perceived value of minifigs to raise the price.

    The same set was re released in 2003-2004 almost 18 years later and it was $40 dollars then. Todays value for inflation would be $60. However with 430 pieces at a non licensed IP lego price per piece of .11 cents would still be about $40.

    I disagree. While im sure its probably true for some people, i think its a smaller percentage i estimate maybe 5-10% of people this matters. I will use my own story as an example. Born '77 - Collected legos in 80s & 90's graduated in '95. Joined military, discovered girls, party, alcohol etc. Moved back to hometown in 2007 (single) started buying legos off ebay to what i think was to have a piece of my childhood that maybe when touching the pieces would remind me of the creativity and magic and almost unlimited potential and coolness of legos and the hope to have a collection. The designs of castle sets from '07 to '12 were very much compatible in looks to 80s castle, though i will admit they updated building techniques, eliminated big castle wall pieces and Burps. (im being very simple with my description, i know cause i got two kingdoms joust sets) However if they re-released 6074 Black Falcons Fortress (again - I wasnt collecting from 95 to 2007) then or today exactly as it was 435 Interlocking pieces and was $35 dollars (like it was in 86) heck even $49.99 i would buy 5 of them, maybe even 10 over a 2 year period. Not because of hording and hoping it will go up in value in 20 years (with a reprint putting more into the wild would make a secondary market on those OG ones drop), but i would build like three of them and combine them. I would open one later with my grandson and probably give one away as a gift. It doesn't have to be "so cool and the latest SNOT or new pieces" If they re released every set from the 80s as it was with no update in 2022 i would purchase every single set, My lego budget this year would be about $3000 (if thats what it cost to buy them all) instead of about $800.

    WHAT SET IS 7094? Got it kings castle siege

    I like this idea - I think a 1400-1800 piece set (like the creator castle) with alternate builds that would allow you to build 2 or 3 older castle sets could do the trick. I would love to see the old Battering ram, Royal Drawbridge and siege tower in a set would be cool as alternate builds.

    oh how much i hate you...lol J/K
  14. natesroom
    ooooo im gonna have to keep my out on this! Can't wait to get my hands on two of these.

    At the store i was at they had a machine that did a build a mini that you could personalize. It said it was a 3 hour wait, but there was like 40 prebuilt minis in a case.

    Unfortunately as a 12-13yr old i stole probably 5-7 of those minifig packs. I dont have any of my stuff from when i was kid so i have paid back that debt by buying everything all over at 5 times the price lol.

    i couldnt figure out where that breastplate piece was from.

  20. natesroom
    I would love to see some of the other older sets redone to match the new style of this set.
  21. natesroom

  22. natesroom
    I may have to drive out to Lego Land (45min approx) from my house and see whats going on out there.
  23. natesroom
    lol i know money... I meant i didnt see one torso in the BAM in Orlando.
  24. natesroom
    I took what you did and tightened it up in illustrator based on an actual print from bricklink mixed with what you did.
  25. natesroom
    not bad, I'd touch them up a little in the final, but that ended up pretty good.
