I'm REALLY looking forward to new hints, as I have been beating around the bush for many days now... I just lack one part, or so the kind and trustworthy skull tells me... so very very frustrating, as I have completely run out of ideas.

Colombus is connected to one of the prizes. However, it has already been claimed.

I will very much be looking forward to that, as I hope to find out where and how I am to deliver the answers I have for a certain something...

Call me old-fashioned, but I still think he should have given you the same chance that he himself was given. Maybe I should lay claim to #14 then? Since I was technically the first person to write it *correctly* in the prize thread. ;)

Considering the fact that I could have stolen TazManiacs first prize the same way he has stolen yours, but instead chose to inform him about it, one could argue that it's not very gentlemanlike of him to act in this way... but eh, I guess it's the pirate way.

Will you give us the solutions once the quiz has run it's course? I've stumbled across several things where the skull tells me that I'm *this* close, but just lacks a little something... and if I ever find out what I'm missing, It shall forever haunt me.

This is awesome.

It gives me a similar error from time to time, I don't think it has anything to do with the specific words you write. Just refresh it and try again untill it works.

Yes it is indeed very cleverly done. I guessed 3 key words that were already taken before getting one right, which I found to be VERY hard btw... and I've since then been circling around what I believe is two other key words that I just can't seem to get right... it's hard, but addictive!

I agree. While the set does have some pretty cool elements (as previously mentioned, I love the baseplate), it really doesn't compare with the classic castle buildings (or even the current ones) in terms of design. I'm surprised as to how many people seem to be loving this, especially the weird giant dragon head ruins it for me. However... I think if that dragon head along with the front gate were removed and modded into something else, this thing could be pretty damn cool. I myself have a 6087 Witch's Magic Manor MISB that I have yet to open because the design is so utterly dreadful that I'm unsure whether or not to keep it. These were certainly not the best years for LEGO Castle...

So... I could not stand for the temptation to annoy the allmighty Skull, even though it warned me not to... for how long will I now be banned from guessing? I have a hot lead I must follow, the Skull told me I was warm!

According to the rules, you have to post it EXACTLY like it's said by the skull - otherwise, your claim will be invalid and someone else can technically steal it from you even though you said it first. So I advice you to hurry up and edit your post asap to this: PRIZE#14 - Islands (assuming from what you wrote that is the correct way)

PRIZE#17 - Ice Cold

Aww man, this is really hard - but addictive! I got two correct ones so far, but both were already claimed...

It's amazing how much life the new heads give the classic figures. Maybe I should get some new heads for my own classics...

I like how you mixed new and old sets and pieces and I'm very jealous of your old Castle collection.

I absolutely love those old baseplates.

In Denmark, Føtex has 40 % off on all LEGO (though their selection isn't exactly impressive).

It's vassal. :) Check your Eurobrick group if in doubt. :D

Tough choice - especially since I sadly don't own any actual castles myself. But probably 6086. But tough, because there are several awesome ones.

7947 Prison Tower Rescue, because of the colour scheme and nice parts.

I'd have to agree with the many people saying Forestmen. And I think it's only a matter of time before LEGO will bring them back in some way or another.

I think the new Dragon nights is the best Castle faction LEGO ever made. Their colours simply makes them look superb, and their crest is pretty nice as well. I don't care much for the new Lion knights, though - but at least they are better than the previous "Lion knights", the Royal knights.

Indeed. And they looked much more like iron.

I would, if only for the accessories, if I could... but it's not available anymore unless I want to pay 10x the standard price for it.
