  1. This Wolfpack minifig could be used as a thief. This Tusken Raider torso from Star Wars could be used as well. Emporer Palpatine's torso from this set could be used for some cave herimt. Count Dooku's torso could also be used for something such as a privateer or maybe a herald/messanger.
  2. Great Review! I think that the bi-plane would be better of in a stand alone set. Here's an interesting thought, Pharoahs Quest is set in the 1920's. Now when we think of Pharoahs and mummies we think of Egypt and the surrounding areas. The Bi-plane could possibly have thos RAF symbols on it because Britain held influence in Egypt right up until 1952. Britain also controlled the Suez canal area and the Sudan. So those symbols could be on the plane because of British occupation.
  3. I like how the spirit of St. Luis isn't as square as it's counterpart, but the Bi-Wing Baron just has character. Those pistons behind the proppellor are great and who could not like the crazy Baron flying the plane . It has to be the Bi-Wing Baron for me!
  4. The wizard reminds me of a modern version of Majisto from the Dragon Masters.
  5. The train that I think is the best in a set would be the 1998 3225: Classic Train ( http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=3225-1 ), it may be simple but I think it's great to fit into a nice scene; it also fits nicely with Western Sets. However 2002's 4535: Lego Express deluxe is a close second ( http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=3225-1 ).
  6. I was browsing through some Lego Ninja stuff the other day and I thought to myself 'When's it set?' We know Castle is set in the middle ages with fantasy elements, but Ninja I don't know. The Chinese discovered gun powder around 1000 AD, the East also developed the cannon a little earlier than Europe. I have a feeling it could be set in the mid-late 15th century as they use guns and cannons. What do YOU think?
  7. 70's disco minifig and explorer are the ones for me.
  8. Majisto Lives On! YAY! I've been waiting yearsfor Mahisto to come back,and this wizard minifig resembles him most (in modern form).
  9. A truly stunning and immpresive build, especially the cart tracks, good going I Scream Clone
  10. c'est interesante. There are things happening all over the creation, it's great.
  11. This car is magnificent! I just love the design. Are you planning to build anymore cars in the future?
  12. Le château est magnifique.
  13. Great review; this set actually reminds me of the dreaded knights kingdom barge , but Shanghai Surprise has a better design with better minifigs and a classic appeal
  14. Definetley the Buecher Bi-plane because of its design, one of the best bi-planes I think ever made by lego.
  15. I think for Donovan you could use the Alfred torso from the Batman line.
  16. In the old Ninja sets, the base of the katana was octagonal in shape. The New PoP Shamshir has a squarer base. Which one do you prefer, old or new?
  17. I t looks like one of the early medieval Scottish castles, as they were a solid form due to a low supply of the stone required. Good design and splendid little build.
  18. I admit that the Castle theme is old. Most parts of it were good and some bad, but The Castle theme has evolved just like The Town theme has. I don't think some sets live up to the reputation of the theme, but Castle keeps on going. Remeber that kids today have different opinions to what some of us might have had 20 years ago. However, I think Castle is timeless, it keeps on changing just like time has, but there are room for improvements.
  19. Very nice simple design; but tell me how did you make the cross on the bell tower? Thanks.
  20. I'm liking the look of the new battlepacks.
  21. This really just reminds me of Empire Total war but set more in Europe I suppose.
  22. I'm going to say the 1930's, the minifigs fit well with the planes and vehicles from that era. Bi-planes were still used in the early 30's.
  23. I'd like to put my name down on here. I have an incredibly small Lego train collection. I also have a good knowlege of real trains, British ones that is. The first set I got was the 2585 track buggy which came with the Lego Loco Game. In the 90's I was buying Castle and Town, I was just a lad back then and Train sets were a more hefty price than town (that explains why I have a lot of small town sets). Castle was my favourate theme and whenever it was Christmas or my Birthday I would ask for something like a castle (obviously). However I have always had an interest for Lego Trains, Just the sight of them used to enthrill me. I may have a small collection but that certainly does not mean that I do not like Lego Trains. Since then I have tried my hand at building a few small MOC's. I plan to increase the size of my Train collection quite a lot within a few years time so that hopefully I can build up a display with my Town and City sets. I really like Lego Trains and it's nice to use the Train Tech Forum, it helps me get involved in a way . Thanks, Gormadoc
  24. Fantastic, TLG should have put something like this in the Set, not their crumy little wagon. You've taken something undesirable and turned it into something you might want to add to a Western Railway.
  25. Thanks for the info everyone.
