I would like to see the return of the villagers for the medieval houses.  The houses sold in the knight's theme are so barran, maybe more furniture, again, certainly more townspeople.

have those movies not been yet released?? :hmm:
they're taking forever! :lol:

anyway, i love your ideas :) my magic forest needs some of those

Hobbit movies are stuck in red tape. Actor's guild boycotted the film because actors were not subject to the same terms/protection of the union since the movies were to be shot in New Zealand (like LOTR). So now its gonna be shot in UK....suppossedly.

Hi

Yes there certainly was a disproportionate amount of Kings, nobles and Knights. With out any peasants there was nobody to protect or rule over.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Yes....too many kings and pirate captains.....but probably they sell better luring more sales from kids? ANd the knight family sets are always the same for years, keeping us from buying and building a nice village.

I really wish they would redesign the internal chassis of the figures.

Nearly half my new klickies are arriving with loose legs, and I hate having to pop them open to squeeze the chassis and tighten it up. This really shouldn't be necessary on brand new figures.

When I was a kid the loose legs problem was really annoying, and I didn't know how to fix it, but the legs only got loose after years of play.

A fractional adjustment of the chassis would put more pressure on the legs to begin with, and the arms too, so we didn't have loose legged klickes straight out of the box or bag.

I wonder if it really needs to be redesigned, or if the factory needs to clean out the moulds even better between production runs? Theoretically only a few microns of residual materials in the moulds could cause these frames to be just a little bit looser (I guess the same goes for the fit of hats on hair etc.).
