Nearly studless, I think I will cry The swords don't fit for me, they look out of place and a different color than the rest. Very cool shape though. MOC on!

Studless castle?!? I think you need to be taken out back and whipped for that. Ick The blue topped towers are nice though.

Summary- Adult fans spend a lot of money on LEGO and if the company ignores the adult fans they miss out on lots of money. So LEGO has been making sets specifically for adult collectors and it has proved profitable. Always listen and have communication with fans of your product.

Massive. That would look so good in my dining room!

I happen to like the big shiny wheels but for this set I agree that it does look silly. I think three sets of the large wagon wheels would work nicely, or even the smaller round ones with technic holes. I haven't seen this set in the store yet but I am looking forward to all the castle sets for this year and want to get multiples if I can. My favorite parts are the trolls and the new flag colors. I haven't seen the new brown though. I figure that any brown is a good brown though so I will collect as much of it as I can.

G 16 Boy! Get a move on! Yes, father. As the group rounded the river bend Manos struggled to get past the rough young pines and catch up with the the pack. Three on the other side of the river were already getting camp setup and the merry tune of Bombos' flute set the nearby birds to short flight and then to a song of their own. With just a few precious minutes left in the day camp would need to be set and the fires lit while wood could still be found. Be careful with those skins. And you three need to get another bundle each of the slow burning and mind that it isn't wet this time. Captain, we have seen no trace of the kitties*1 or the pomp*2, and the tail hasn't returned but should with the hour. Wonderful, a night of peace and leisure. Double our rations for the evening and set the first watch. Yes captain. With quick and worn breathing Manos makes his way across the rock strew portion of the river and up to his father. Being allowed to travel with the pack has proved to be harder than he thought two moons ago when he was first allowed to join, but each day the long travel and training became less of a burden. Now with the moon glow out shining the failing rays of the sun, with a merry tune and the first sniff of the hunt being roasted over the fire, he was glad to be in such pain. Were he away from his father and back on the farm it would have been unbearable, but out here in the woods with new friends and adventure on every side, no pain would lower his spirits. Father, tell us the story of Great Fang tonight, I should say will you? No, not tonight. That is a story for hard times. Tonight we will sing of blessings and the peace which we have fought for and now enjoy. A toast to you all! And with that they each raised the wooden bells*3, drank and with great baying, howled into the night sky. * 1- a rude slang for the ancient order of lion knights 2- a rude slang for the royal knights 3- a type of short stackable cup that when stacked looks like a notched staff ________________________________________________________________________________ _____ (stepping in for vampire attack) The smell of fresh blood in the air had driven them out of the swamp, and with a bloodlust no man may ever know, the vampires circled round ready to feast on the survivors. With great speed and effort they rushed at the leaders giving great battle with only bared hands and teeth. Never seeking to destroy their food, they fight on long enough to distract the strong warriors while the remaining vampires steal away with three of the weakened fighters. Then as quickly as they came on, the vampires rushed off through the mists to their secret hiding place to feast on the sweet mead soaked flesh of viking warriors.

Harry Potter figures are mostly from the first and second series. I have three sets of Spongebob figures from the boating school.

Selling each peice down to the last on Bricklink, I am sure I could get at least 15,000. Ebay would be considerably less. But to me the collection is worth so much more. If all it was worth was money I would just sell it off. I can only imagine the fun I will share with my (future) children in the years to come.

Generic as in any figures or parts that were in a space set including all sets from pre Mission to Mars. I am not crazy about classic space (the first and original space sets) but I would be willing to trade for some of those as well. No, I am looking for the older stuff. See above. I am not highly interested in trading for classic space sets. If you have anything else, like the space police one, I would certainly like to trade. I could not list everything I have as you would get sick of reading it all. I have parts and figures from Town, Train, Technic, Adventurers, Pirates, Star Wars, Wild West (though not much), Harry Potter, Castle and Space plus odds and ends from nearly every series. I collect both castle and space though, so I am less likely to trade parts or figures from those themes but not unwilling, and I have hundreds of parst I need to sell or trade from those themes as well.

You added a rule about creatures that are allowed. Moc creatures it seems are not allowed, is that correct? I know some people would hate this rule but might I suggest that if you (or someone else on your behalf) cannot build and photograph it (when pertaining to things like creature or buildings then it should not be allowed, but if you can build and photograph it, it should be.

I am looking for any space figures, parts of figures, space accessories, printed space parts and all things LEGO space to trade for. I am not overly picky about condition except that I would not like broken, unusable or modified parts of any kind. Hairline cracks, scratches, and fading prints are all fine though, but if it has a print I would at least like to be able to see it, completely worn away prints are useless to me. I have a lot of items and figures I can trade. I have Batman, Spongebob, Harry Potter, and tons of town figures and accessories especially. I also have plenty of other parts from nearly every theme LEGO has made and that was available in the US. If you are interested in trading please pm me with any offers. If you have questions please post them here so that if others have the same question it will be answered. Thanks

Very Star Wars looking, but almost too much so. I would at least change out the colors to look more like a classic space theme.

I used to be. I would place an order or more a week. Now I just buy clearance sets and sell the parts I don't want on BL. It takes more time but save me a lot of money. Going to school right now ends up costing me a lot, so any money I can save makes life easier on me. Feel free to buy from my Bricklink store, and haggle with me on prices.

Thanks everyone for the warm wishes on my b-day. Ended up getting the alien mothership from mars mission and got to go to dinner. A great day all around and even better with all these wishes. :'-)

I like the teal. It is my favorite colr so that gets points right there. Not a big fan of the ship other wise though. The gray just doesn't seem to fit, and the silver bits end up clashing with it. The sHape is nice though, I would have done it in different colors though and maybe bulked it up a little. MOC on!

There are way too many rules for the cc role play unless it has changed more recently. I would like to join but not if there are tons of rules.

M-Tron, oh how I love and miss thee! Wonderful recap of all that is M-Tron. Thank you for bring us all back to 1990.

I am liking this a lot. Great build style and loads of details. I like he hooded orcs.

Love the shape and overall fighteriness of the design. I am sad it is so void of visible studs and the flesh colored fig. I am not willing to accept the fleshies or the trend to to studlessness and so your design lack to me in these areas. Aside from that though, if I had to nitpick I would like to see the wall of the cockpit "padded" with a colored plate either matching the seat or complimenting it. Nice build though. Moc on!

The bright gray space in the front is asking to be shot at with armor piercing tank killer rounds. I usually think of tanks sloping down in the front to help deflect attacks and reduce resistance. The gold spikes really bug me. I would recommend some purple or black ones if you have/can get them. I am very old school LEGO in my thought so I want to see this in with more color and a defined color scheme. Maybe even a complimentary scout buggy or something to help it out. It is a nice build though and does look imposing. Which of course makes me want to design something to blow it up all the more. Moc on!

Elves are in. I too am hoping for a new baddie faction and will be happy with anything other than undead. Lizardmen would be great, different or the same trolls would be good too, or maybe a group of evil wizards in different colors. Of course the map is missing areas in the north and south, so there is plenty of room to add new groups. I am hoping for a rogue group of mercenaries, a dragon slaying gladiator/adventurer group, or the fearsome gargoyle faction that was hinted at in the KK2 series playing cards but never got to see the light of day. Even barbarians using some of the viking parts again wouldn't bother me at all. Vikings are great and it is a shame they ended so quickly.

As with all the Exo mecha, this is weak in the hips where the joints are exposed. If it had more armor that could help protect those, then you could say this is the ultimate. To make hip armor that allows the build to still be functional and not look stupid will not be easy. But really, even if it doesn't look the best, it is for war and there is no place for style in war. I also don't like the bioniclish staff like weapon. I would say switch it out for a claw or something that is more suited for hacking open other mecha cockpits. Nice build and the colors are great. Moc on!

I don't much like the bigger ship as it looks sort of blah. But the mecha are dreamy *wub* and the "helicopters" are very cool. These would all look great in other colors or in a battle scene. If you make more be sure to post them.

I am glad you guys like it. X-D I just got a wacom tablet (has a pen like mouse for accuracy in digital art) and I needed something to try it out on. Not bad for a first attempt. I will be getting some other stuff draw up when I have time. Though not likely exoforce stuff. 8-|
