    brilliant moc, supported! I'm trying to figure out how on earth you got the shape of those two central columns if you care you share :)

    Just found this in a random locals listing. Can anyone ID the purple tulip-bulb looking flower? Would love to seek out more of them but I have no idea where or what to search.

    Is the voting thread up yet?

    In my set up, my three main factions are the Crownies, the new lion knights, and the dragon knights. Crownies I see as a very monarchical faction (based on their emblem) and are the traditional and highly religious kingdom and command the most power. The Lion knights are comparatively more modern and place more emphasis on education, sort of like the Enlightened faction. The Dragon Knights are groups of converted barbarian tribes (somewhat akin to the Ostrogoths in history). All of them hold onto a shaky alliance amongst themselves to oppose the fantasy 'villain' factions like the trolls and skeletons who have destroyed much of the Dwarven kingdom whose refugees now rely on the human factions for support.

    Has anyone spotted them at TRU in Canada yet? They've popped up at several Walmarts in the area, but they've pretty much disappeared within the week they're put out.

    I had always dismissed this set as out of my price range but the grandiosity you've depicted here certainly makes it seem worth it! I guess I can wait for Santa to bring one around.

    What set is that orc head from?

    Where did those mushroom pieces come from?

    I bought Ramses' Pyramid and the gameplay felt pretty simple, kinda kid-friendly I guess but not that interesting for me. Has anyone else who's played this game wanna offer some input? Concept looks neat.

    This set looks waaaay better as a laboratory than a sub. The vehicle form just looks way too blocky to imagine as a submarine. Nonetheless, those green domes will certainly come in useful for MOCing!

    Just got this as a present from my girlfriend. I love the build, though I wish we got a couple shields for the Lion Knights!

    +1 meschepers! Everything arrived at expected and communication went very smoothly!

    The co-existence of action themes and the City theme leaves me to support Lego's decisions with pushing the 'extreme' factor for their sets. I mean, for every Desert of Destruction there's a City Corner; it's not like one replaces the other. I guess your description of 'pleasant' sets is just something that's covered in City now. We have passenger planes and transport vehicles in city - Lego would be smart to avoid having too much overlap between the two themes. Action themes cover the movie-style speed and explosions. And what's the harm in that if it's not treading on other design space?

    Perhaps they could be actors in an outdoor theatre performance? That would explain the exaggerated/comical colors in a castle setting.

    I've been considering developing a China Town area of my city. This certainly gives me a lot of ideas! Love the fish tank!

    I'd like this set a lot more if the pricing were more on par with the fantasy Castle line. Compare its 365 pieces and 5 Figs and 1 Horse at $50 to Drawbridge Defense's (7079) 335 pieces, 7 Figs and 1 Horse, all for $40. The pricing is even worse for outside the US, like in my case, where DD cost $50 compared to the Prison Tower's $70! On sale, the pricing for the new line becomes barely reasonable for us Canadians.

    This user hasn't posted in 4 years...I doubt you'll get a response.

    Having a similar dilemma as OP here...are there any sets that work especially well as basic bley (1x2, 1x3, 1x4, 1x6, 1x2 corner) parts packs?
  24. beans
    This was inspiring! Looks like I'm going to have to develop my city a bit to come anything close to what you've put together. Shame it has to be taken down so soon
