Hello anakev! Welcome to Eurobricks! What is your favourite theme?

Do you mean back in 1998? If it was back then in the stores, I haven't bought it anyway. At that time I was 10, and even if I knew they sold them, cycling 80 km is far...

Hi and welcome to Eurobricks!

I'm 100% Dutch.

How about a cross? I really would like to see some templar knights... The idea for the roof of the battering ram is also great. It brings me some new additions for the castle itself: some barrels and cauldrons for the oil. And a thing, well, I don't know the exactly name. It hangs at a rope and is used to weaken the shock of a battering ram.

3302 1x, 3303 1x, 3304 10x, 3305 10x, 3306 1x, 3308 6x, 3309 9x, 3310 1x, 3311 1x, 3312 1x, 333 2x, 3314 1x. In the Netherlands the soccer stadium was only collectable when you filled up your car if you went to Shell petrol stations. You could not buy them. And my parents always went to other petrol stations to fill up their car. 6090. The best castle ever IMHO, and a set I always wanted. Some more recent sets are 6209 and 10179. The Slave I I already wanted before it was released, but never bought it when I had the chance. The Millenium Falcon is maybe the best Star Wars set ever, but also the most expensive. Maybe I buy it when it is on sale. Just realize: this os only a very small part of my wanted list...

Maybe some more ideas for the agressors: a set with a trebuchet, maybe a ballista, and a battering ram. Or how about some soldiers for digging the castle walls? I think both ideas are great! The current knight minifigs are great, and could be useful, but keep the fantasy part away from these sets...

Really nice! I don't have much to add at the comments above...

Not bad for your first TECHNIC moc. Not bad at all! I can't wait to see this with body work!

Which torso did you use?

Yes, that would also be my choice. The shooting version, of course. I voted for the musket. Maybe because I watched Albert the 5th musketeer many times when I was a kid. Serious: I voted this, because it's safer to hit your enemies from range. If you have to come close, then another enemy can put his knife between your ribs... I like swords, but only in the medieval era and in a galaxy far, far away...

I can only agree.

Maybe extra modular castle walls? So you can build a fortified city with a wall? With this I mean just the walls, with maybe some soldiers, so you don't have to build a gate if you already have three of them... About the idea of Klaus-Dieter: I totally agree with you. Yes please!

I agree. I think it's mostly handy for those who don't want fantasy as their opponent. If I want to have a joust, and want to make it without fantasy, then the only opponent I can get is an old retired one.

To me, the best MOC ever is the HMS Hood, the one that Ralph has posted. Second the HMS Edinburgh from the same builder. But there are many more great MOCs, and the QM2 is also great.

The new figs are great, but the only good set today is the market village IMHO. What I would like to see: a real crusaders castle. With crusaders, templars, saracens (correct spelling?) siege towers etc. And of course a castle you could see in the middle East, with tan baseplates etc.

I have paid a lot more than €300, never felt sorry about it, and never had problems.

Yes! I agree. I didn't heard of the color change until I broke of my airport. If I knew this before, I had never bought it. Not only the colors, but also the wings with those ugly stud holes. I think the sets before weren't so different with the original. I have the Metroliner and the Club Car, both the re-releases, but I think there are only little differences.What I also would like to see: Western, Model Team, Avatar, Res-Q, Xtreme Team, Arctic and Divers.

You can also add the Fiber Optic System to the boosters if you have some extra. And use the fuel tank to hold the battery box.

Wow, incredible... Full of details. What did you use for the shooting cannon?

Many others as well. 40 coin for example.

I think it's supposed to be a common sailor.
