    Is there a reason why the Lego Castle sets suck so much? I remember the classic stuff was so much better. These days, a lot of the castles look like incredibly underwhelming. I saw that Skull castle last week or something and it was barely even a castle. Seeing an online auction of a real castle makes me very unhappy.

    (And yes this affliction is taking hold of me!)

    I reckon castle is the best of the modern lego lines. But thats just my opinion.

    It's true that, for their price and box size, many lego kits these days are very underwhelming. The size of the boxes being the most misleading attribute. The Skull tower isn't really a 'castle' sized kit, more of a 'tower' kit. The actual kings castle set is the largest castle set in the current line but I don't expect it to be any less underwhelming.

    I think it is because Lego is focusing more on the facade of the castle, and actually most sets. I remember some of the older Western Sets. The Fort Legorado (or something) was awesome because it looked good from all angles. Now, I find, that a lot of sets only look the part from the front. Some of the air-craft sets are good examples. They focus on the top down or front views, never/rarely doing much detail on the bottom of the hull. Usually just a bare flat piece that they used for a base.

    I was looking at the Creator stuff at Target today (the car/truck one and particularly the three dinosaurs one) and it looks like it's really good. Would you legomen recommend it?

    Ok I just read Stompy's comments on the Lego Acquisitions thread about the Dinosaur one and I think I'm going to be tempted to buy it.

    So does anyone know when 4210: Coast Guard Platform (City - Coast Gaurd set) is going to hit the shelves? It's one of the last few Lego sets of this year that I want.
