Ah ha! I shall add those now.

Sorry to make you work so much these days ;) I just picked up the other 2 police mechs from that series, so I'll be posting 3 more reviews. The two plus the union robot. You're going to hate me ;)

I just posted a half-review/preview on a Hello Kitty set I could take a few pics of but not actually build.

Not sure if you want to list that or not.

Well, I do not mind that I am not the only one looking at things other than Lego. I'll add the Hello Kitty one later, have to grab a bite to eat before work now! Thanks again. Globaly Oxford is the Eastern threat to Lego, Cobi the European and Mega Brands the American. The better the others get, the better Lego has to get.

I have added some links. Not to all clone sites, (Tatco has died and MB is far from popular).

Do you know if Enlighten has a site? The wiki doesn't link it, but I figured it might be up to date for what sets they have out.

Toy sections are the best. Thanks for all the great reviews. They puy mine to shame :tongue:

its only because I've got such great models to work with ;)

I'm debating getting that CK25000 next. It has an actual tower I could siege.

I'm finding out that there have been several castle lines but most of them are gone. The only ones still around are the fantasy and regular one. The other castle line on their product page, with the "discs", seems to be gone, I Can't find it for sale anywhere except for one of the small 2500 series sets with 1 figure and no weapons. They had a couple traditional lines gone, and a couple of "devil castle" lines gone as well.

mini-set round-up (has one I sent you, the gate is different from the one you're getting. You're getting the 2500 series gate not the 2000 series)

Good good, indexed that. Next question would be: Is there a smaller set from the fantasy line that has the best fantasy weapons? :wink:

Yes and no.

GT-5000 Hwacha which I reviewed has your standard weapon sprue. With the brown weapons only, and it has a hwacha. It's around $5.85 + shipping

GT0722 - the siege engine one that I just reviewed has both the brown and silver weapons for $15 + shipping

OFK0825 which is part of the defunct Fire Khan line is around $24+ shipping and includes some cool looking weapons. It's the only set of any size from that line I've found and I don't know how much stock this guy has left. I've ordered one. Might arrive today.

CK25000 which I showed above would be the smallest set with those weapons, $21.50 + shipping

They don't have any small sets with weapons from either of the latter two lines. Both of those sets were weaponless.

I've gotta figure out how to ask them why they don't release minifigure booster packs. Those would be handy, and cheap. So there is a cheap way to get the basic weapons, but any of the fancy ones are going to be a bit more.

The silver weapons are rather impressive. (I love swords) Those castle sets are really good. I like the Black Force police motorcycle too. Oh how I wish that these sets would be sold in the UK!

Clever mod of the gun too.

I've been thinking, a list of clone/bootleg brands would be really useful. Specially classifying them and a link to a good review for a product of each brand. Possibly replacing the links section Like:

Megabloks : Homepage : review :

...

Enlighten : Filthy bootleg no linky : review

etc.

Today I accidentally found a new brand. Some built sets were on display on that contraband toy store, the plastic didn't seem terrible and the models didn't resemble any sets I could remember. But I have very vague recollections of the name, spent a couple of hours surfing trying to get a brand list that would remind me of the name but such a list is very hard to find. Anyway, such list would help eurobrickers avoid purchasing the very bad bootleg brands.
