Turbo's Brick Techniques... The Sheath Missing from the Lego ensemble of weapons for a long time the humble sheath seemed to be just a far off dream. But then the viking horn/studless tooth was introduced. A size comparison with the classic lego dagger showed how well it was suited to the role... providing you are willing to limit your angles of photography.

 

6023 Maiden's Cart, Year: 1986, Elements: 42, Figs: 2, list Price: $5.50 (USD) (Good luck with that ; ) ) Lugnet score (out of 100): 78, Review #: 10 The Thoughts of the apt Norro: ...in under a word per brick... This set, curiously released in the US a year later, is actually very nice. Although many don't believe it there is more here than just the Maiden's White Hat (but that is still why you buy it!) The hinge mechanism of the convertible cart is actually very ahead of its time...The main disappointment here is yet another badly trousered knight, why grey? Guest Minifig Comments: Everybody talks about the &^%$# hat, I'm pretty too! I have a relatively rare torso, I'm a woman in a man's world of lego, and yet all people talk about is the hat. I thought knights weren't supposed to understand fashion, just appreciate its wearer. But I live in a two class system, with the hat my carriage is worth a fortune, without it...nobody cares! Ohhh... I am calling my tailor to get rid of it, next time I'm going to go with just a plain green rag, on top of a 'froresty' appearance, than people will finally appreciate me for who I am rather than what I look like...

Please help Joe put new grey where it belongs!!! Not in sets! Not accidently in Bricklink orders! But in a very 'special' pile...

 

There is Something In the Water!! Huge congratulations to allyou pirate loyalists who kept the faith for so many years! All the signs are that we will have a full pirate line in 2009. And while it may not feature Captain Red Beard or Will, hopefully Lego will take advantage of their new range of gold colours... Also significantly, this could be the first time since the pirate theme was canceled that the 'big four' themes all feature in one year... exciting times!

 

6044 King's Carriage, Year: 1995, Elements: 120, Figs: 4, list Price: $16.50 (USD), Lugnet score (out of 100): 75, Review #: 9 The Thoughts of the legendary Norro: ...in under a word per brick... For some reason this set was released later then the other Royal Knight sets in my area. As a result I looked forward to it eagerly (since I had so enjoyed the other sets) and perhaps spoiled the set with too high of expectations... The figs are great and so is the concept but the carriage only looks good from certain angles and could use a few more pieces to 'bulk' it up. Perhaps the bounty of figs had made it hard to keep the set in its target price range, as it is, it came out at an odd price point. One other notable is the inclusion of a cloth flag in a smaller set. Guest Minifig Comments: There I am being knighted! Who the man, err knight?! The discomfort of having my legs put on backwards was worth it. The only downside is that once I get back up you won't be able to tell me apart from the other soldiers in the set... I suppose that's what makes us an 'army builder'. It is also nice to be included in such a unique box scene. I'll be a legend...
