Nathan is referring to the fact that both he and I were regular posters in Lugnet.castle long before Classic-Castle came into being. That was the main lair of castle fans and CC grew out of that. As far as contacting the CC admins goes, I emailed Anthony Sava this morning, but haven't heard from him yet. I will keep everyone updated when I hear anything. Josh

Welcome, Jacob C! I feel funny welcoming you here when I only just started posting myself, oh well. Hopefully you Admins here don't mind an influx of us CCers. Eurobricks seems to be a very welcoming site, which I appreciate. Good to see you! Josh

Thanks, Nathan, its good to see you too. Yeah, I don't leave my lair much (not to post anyway, I lurk a lot), but I needed to get my online Lego fix. But now that I've gotten my feet wet, I plan to continue posting here, even when CC is back up. Yes, sir, thanks for the welcome! Josh

Hey All, Figured it was time I introduced myself. My name is Josh and I collect Lego. I can't seem to stop, but who would want to? ;-) I don't live in Europe, hopefully that's alright. Anyway, I have been collecting Lego off and on for the last 28 years. My first set (other than some basic bricks) was 442 Space Shuttle and I have been hooked ever since. I mostly build in the Castle theme now and am a regular poster at Classic-Castle.com. I am a Moderator over there as well. Even though I am a Castlehead, I enjoy seeing MOCs in others themes and genres. Especially MOCs that use pieces in new and unintended ways. Thanks for listening! Take care, Josh PS. If you are interested, here are links to my Brickshelf gallery and MOCpage: Brickshelf (its very disorganzed and some stuff is really old) My Mocpage (a little better organized but the old stuff is there too)

Thank you very much! I probably should pop over to the "hi my name is section" and introduce myself, huh? Josh

No resentment here and I appreciate the offer, that wouldn't happen at many sites. I am sure CC will be up again in the near future, but its downtime has made me spend time over here and that is a good thing. I've been a member for a while but never spent much time posting here. Thanks! Josh

Great review, Nathan! I don't have this set, but have always been intrigued by it. As you pointed out, the kneeling soldier on the box was a new concept at the time. I hadn't noticed shield on the lance though...interesting. Oddly enough, it is also part of a rather small group of 2+ horsepower wagons. As far as I know, besides this set, only 6055 and 6056 have more than one horse pulling the wagon. Josh

Not really, there are quite a few on Bricklink. Bow Section Stern Section Hope this helps... Josh

Yup, still down. I'm having withdrawals too, since its been down for most of a day now. Josh

Red Dwarf sets would be awesome but I highly doubt it would ever happen. Guess you'll just have to build MOCs instead. *sweet* Josh

Vikings all the way! Josh
