@PlacidCasual i had that set, mixed into a metric ton of Lego that has been added to by generations since but the special base plate was used for everything forty years ago!
It was pleasant evening last night sorting the parts out of a couple of mixed sets. A simple but satisfying build with my youngest. She liked the idea that it was Daddy's second oldest set and over 40 years old.@PlacidCasual i had that set, mixed into a metric ton of Lego that has been added to by generations since but the special base plate was used for everything forty years ago!
Not been yet. Might go in a couple of weekends time, as the good lady wants to go MK as she wants some bits from IKEA.Thanks for that, I go past Rushden relatively often, I might make a detour and look. Also how did you find the Brickz Museum? I did the Pixel Bunker the other weekend which was ok but quite a few broken machines and the Film Museum sounds quite expensive at first glance, was the Lego museum worth the money?
I got my son the grey one on the left that folds into a cube. It's a cool set but I'd say is 50/50 if the hinged bits fall off when I move it, is yours the same?
I think they are supposed to come off so you can have it as 3 seperate buildings, but yes it makes it a bit fragile!I got my son the grey one on the left that folds into a cube. It's a cool set but I'd say is 50/50 if the hinged bits fall off when I move it, is yours the same?
Ordered a couple of the old wolfpack sets off ebay over the weekend, and been building a few more of my old smaller castle sets. Tempted by the forest stronghold off ebay.Got to love those classic sets....
I've got a bricklink designer programme forest stronghold to build. The medieval blacksmith and market are great builds.
There's a new creator 3in1 horse knight 31168 castle coming this year too based on the one in the 31161 Medieval Dragon's box art.
Since the uk create a minifigure beta went live it's loads easier to spec and buy castle / forestmen minifigs too including the wolfpack torso now available.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a thousand pounds Star Wars set, or was it just a rumour?
Christmas present finally built, my first Lego build since I was a kid, really enjoyed it, want to get a light kit for it now, I can see why this could get addictive!, already looking at the Lego Bowser!

I'm currently doing a mini kit from Temu and it's surprised me for the price, no missing bits as of yet but man, it's challenging!Tbh my experience of the Chinese kits has been 'god damn it, another missing piece! Oh, there it is!', I've rarely had a missing piece.
Reddits rumours are 40 minifigs, and 9,000 pieces (and $999). Bit to pricy for me, would have to factor in divorceSupposedly a new Death Star later this year, not seen anything new about it.
