20240403: the History of LEGO Castle day 094. 6007 Bat Lord (1997, 16 pieces, 10 different parts) DRAGONS!!! The Bat Lord is a small set consisting of a black dragon with trans neon orange wings spouting trans neon orange flames and a Bat Lord minifigure. The one minifigure in this set has a black helmet with bat wings on either side, a yellow minifigure head with an inverted "V" hairline, pointed eyebrows and mustache, a light gray cloth cape with bottom fringes and a black bat with red accents, black arms with a printed red torso with a yellow and black collar, five vertical black lines with rows of yellow dots, a silver belt, and dark gray legs with a black belt. The black dragon, which is built from a body, two arms, a tail, a top head, two trans neon orange wings, and a trans neon orange flame, was first introduced in this set and the body appears in three other sets, 4818 Dragon Rider, 6047 / 6099 Traitor Transport and Traitor Transport With Cave, and 6097 Night Lord's Castle. This is also the first use of the trans neon orange wings, though those appear in seventeen more sets from 1997-2005. This set also introduces the light gray cloth cape with the black bat design on the back. The main focus of this set is the brand new black dragon! This is the only set I purchased when it originally came out since I stopped buying LEGO in 1993 when all the castle sets had minifigures with facial hair. I actually clearly remember buying this set because the black dragon is absolutely fantastic and made me so happy :) New in the box from 1997, this set cost $4.50 and it's been worth every penny, as this is also the one LEGO set I brought with me to undergrad and has stayed with me for the past 25 years. Parts inventory for this set can be found on BrickLink or Rebrickable and a free download of the instructions is available on ToysPeriod.

Basil The Batlord Acquires New Symbols of Power

🦇After harassing the Black Falcon Knights, Basil went in search of his favorite power symbols. He discovered a cape maker who was able to reproduce his bat cape.

🦇A local blacksmith was able to craft a silver sword exactly like Basil’s original sword. He still needs to find a powerful witch or wizard, or better, yet, Willa, to magically charge his new sword.

🦇His bat scepter required a bit of research to locate appropriate components. He finally has an identical replica of his original bat scepter.

🦇The power symbol which required the most searching was none other than his dragon, Draco. Basil found Draco hiding in a cave in the north country. Draco had gone into hiding after both Basil and Willa disappeared all those years ago. Draco was very happy to reconnect with Basil.

🦇Draco permitted Basil to climb onto his back, just like in the old days. The mighty dragon leapt high into the air and began flapping his beautiful, red wings. Basil guided his majestic dragon along the best flight path to their new hideout.

🦇Beware of high-flying Batlord, my friends. Have a spooktastic weekend‼️🦇🐲🦇😎

Anyone remember LEGO Fright Knights?

Wandering Fright Knights

~~~

Was originally going to have these guys invade Faradin, but I figured it’ll be too much invading after the recent attack by the Masked Man. This shot was the best of the much I shot, so I’m uploading it here!

[starmansymphony]

got the minifigures theme basil the batlord today! he's a very nice redesign of the og basil. i wasn't really vibing with the way his helmet looked based off his official...render? photograph? but it actually looks very nice in person! also the first minifig i own that came with a cape! bootleg jestro doesn't count.

since i own an og basil the batlord as well (just not one with a cape unfortunately 😔), i took a couple of comparison pics! og basil had to take minifigs basil's stand as not to fall over from the weight of his staff.

[emilyzone]

why did lego make this insane art for fright knights and then basically never use it

20240406: the History of LEGO Castle day 097. 6047 / 6099 Traitor Transport / Traitor Transport with Cave (1997, 145 / 146 pieces, 93 / 94 different parts) DRAGONS!!!! The Traitor Transport and the Traitor Transport with cave is mostly a light gray wagon cage with a decorative red roof and yellow and black highlights built on a black base with brown 33mm wagon wheels pulled by a black dragon with trans neon orange wings. This set comes with three minifigures. -The Bat Lord has a black helmet with bat wings on either side, a yellow minifigure head with an inverted "V" hairline, pointed eyebrows and mustache, a light gray cloth cape with bottom fringes and a black bat with red accents, black arms with a printed red torso with a yellow and black collar, five vertical black lines with rows of yellow dots, a silver belt, dark gray legs with a black belt, a chrome silver sword, and a trans red 4L antenna pole with a black bat on top. -The next minifigure for this set has a red torso with silver scale mail print and black arms, plain blue legs, a yellow minifigure head with brown bangs, mustache, and beard, a black knight helmet with front grill, and a medium white feather plume. -The last minifigure has a black axe wielder helmet, yellow minifigure face with black bangs, mustache, and forehead tuft, a printed light gray torso with red Fleur de Lis pattern, dark gray legs with a black belt, a black whip, and a triangular Fright Knights shield. The black dragon, which is built from a body, two arms, a tail, a top head, two trans neon orange wings, and a trans neon orange flame and the body appears in three other sets, 4818 Dragon Rider, 6007 Bat Lord, and 6097 Night Lord's Castle. There's not too much in the way of rare or unique parts in this set but the light gray horse barding with ruffles and printed red design with black harness lines was only found in this set and 6097 Night Lord's Castle and this is the first appearance of the light gray triangular Fright Knights shield with a black bat and red highlights on a silver background with a red border (which appears in five other sets, 5383 Castle Accessories, 6031 Fright Force, 6087 Witch's Magic Manor, 6097 Night Lord's Castle, and 9376 Castle Set from Education and Dacta). The brick built attachment for the dragon to the wagon is the most articulate wagon harness we've seen yet, allowing for the most versatile movement yet. The dragon can even be next to the wagon, facing the opposite direction! Also, this is probably the easiest to use cage or dungeon from the castle subthemes yet :) The only difference between 6047 and 6099 is the large studless dark gray dragon cave that came with 6099 (not pictured here). Parts inventory for this set can be found at BrickLink or Rebrickable and a free download of the instructions is available on ToysPeriod.

Count Bat Lord

Remember our old friend Basil the Bat Lord? In 1997, he was one of the last arrivals to the Lego Castle theme. He was a knight who got himself into trouble with a witch. She cast a powerful spell on him and made him the keeper of her bats and the leader of her new, frightful army—The Fright Knights.

Before the witch put her spell on him, Basil had been a very good Master Builder. As you can see from his new contraption, he can barely create anything useful. This is his new Batapault. He built it to throw bat guano at his enemies. Eww!

Basil has been rummaging through the local village in search of useful parts. This was all he could find.

Had you been riding in the car with your parents, back in 1997, you might have stopped to buy gasoline at the local Shell gas station. There, if you were a good kid, your parents might buy you Lego set #2540–Fright Knights Catapault. The set contained 28 pieces including Basil.

Please don’t tell the Black Falcons you have discovered the man-size bat creature that has been worrying the villagers.

Do you remember this set or the Fright Knights from back in the day?

Beware of man-size bat creatures, my friends‼️🦇🦇🦇😎

[fictionz]

New Fiction 2023 - September

"Baruch" ed. Richard Challoner (1752)

A short interlude before another juggernaut of a chapter.

Creature Teacher by R.L. Stine (1998)

They really hold out on the monsters here in Series 2000, so this is a welcome entry.

Invasion of the Body Squeezers - Part 1 by R.L. Stine (1998)

An unnecessarily long red herring.

Invasion of the Body Squeezers - Part 2 by R.L. Stine (1998)

That's some way to prevent an extinction event.

I'm Your Evil Twin! by R.L. Stine (1998)

They always do the ol' switcharoo.

Revenge R Us by R.L. Stine (1998)

The Uncut Gems of Goosebumps.

Fright Camp by R.L. Stine (1998)

Fool me several dozen times, shame on us all.

Headless Halloween by R.L. Stine (1998)

Here we GOOOOO. A+ Goosebumps.

Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls by R.L. Stine (1998)

A bit weirder but still more welcome than kids being dicks and no actual spooky happenings.

Brain Juice by R.L. Stine (1998)

Just bizarre. Leaning a little too far into the weird science angle I've no interest for in these books.

The Deadly Experiments of Dr. Eeek by R.L. Stine (1996)

Nope. These gamebooks aren't good for reading one after another, and the ones that more or less stay in place are especially meh.

Night in Werewolf Woods by R.L. Stine (1996)

Another meh entry in spite of the werewolves running around.

Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter by R.L. Stine (1996)

More weird science and generally not scary stuff, less and less interesting.

"Hotline Miami" by KC Green (2023)

The speedrun.

"I was told by my doctor that this'll completely compensate my human meat diet" by scribblingchimp (2023)

Gotta find an alternate.

"Carl's Date" dir. Bob Peterson (2023)

Good to see the gang again.

The Equalizer 3 dir. Antoine Fuqua (2023)

Didn't need to do all that.

Bottoms dir. Emma Seligman (2023)

The kids are alright.

Elemental dir. Peter Sohn (2023)

A personal story.

They Live dir. John Carpenter (1988)

That's a long fight.

Jawan dir. Atlee (2023)

The Robin Hood we need.

Christine dir. John Carpenter (1983)

Somehow, a car is scary.

The LEGO Movie dir. Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (2014)

Too familiar, but perhaps because it kicked off something we've seen a lot of since then.

Outlaw Johnny Black dir. Michael Jai White (2023)

A fun and shooty romp.

Satanic Hispanics dir. Alejandro Brugués , Mike Mendez, Gigi Saul Guerrero, Eduardo Sánchez, Demián Rugna (2023)

The anthology offers much.

Prey dir. Dan Trachtenberg (2022)

Hell yes. If they made Predator movies that are just "a Predator fights someone at this point in history" I'd be all in.

Tales from the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight dir. Ernest Dickerson (1995)

Definitely a feature-length version of an episode, but they pull it off.

Tales from the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood dir. Gilbert Adler (1996)

Or do they? But this is still better than...

Tales from the Crypt Presents: Ritual dir. Avi Nesher (2002)

A very boring movie like this.

Vault of Horror dir. Freddie Francis (1973)

Ooh that second story is tops.

Tales from the Crypt dir. Freddie Francis (1972)

This first movie was just a tad too straight-faced. Where's the camp?!

The Origin of Evil dir. Sébastien Marnier (2023)

A-n-x-i-e-t-y.

The Expendables 4 dir. Scott Waugh (2023)

I know they can't all come back every time, but the concept seems to be slipping away from them.

The Creator dir. Gareth Edwards (2023)

Hm. Striving toward something I might've liked but somehow doesn't land.

Tales from the Crypt - Season 7 (1996)

I've been annoyed with many people writing off season 7 as not worth watching. It's fine! There's even a few episodes really worth watching.

Tales from the Cryptkeeper - Season 1 (1993)

Basically Goosebumps, so John Kassir recording wraparounds is what makes it special.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds - Season 2 (2023)

I like it, but 10 episodes is not enough. Bouncing from fun to deadly serious episodes too often makes it feel disjointed.
