Steve Reviews It - Troll Warship

I just built set # 7048 Troll Warship. Overall a very nice but easy build. With 493 pieces the set doesn't have that many complicated steps. It took me less then an hour to build at a leisurely pace. The pieces it does contain are rather nice. Not counting the limited use boat hull pieces it has 42 dark brown pieces. It also has 32 dark red headlight bricks and 22 dark red 1x2 plates. Not as uncommon as it used to be the dark red is still a nice addition. For those looking forward to expanding their castle armies it comes with a nice number (8) of minifigs, a giant troll and a dragon. I would nave preferred more details on the ship and it not have a dragon but a minor point. Overall a very nice parts set. If you can score a couple of these on clearance I highly recommend it.

I pretty much agree with you here Steve. I picked one of these up the other day a Wally World, and was pretty impressed with nice part colors in this set, specifically the number of Dark Brown parts.

As far as dragons go the dark green armored dragon in this set is actually not too bad. I think I would have preferred more parts as well, but the dragon I can find a use for in my "fantasy-esque castle" kind of way. But I agree that the nice number of figs is great for any castle-head and a great way to specifically increase your non-human groupings, obviously the trolls, but the dwarf is a nice addition too.

However I do like the dark brown boat hulls, they look awesome in that color. I can only hope that the new hull end pieces as seen on the new pirate ship come in dark brown at some point, as the viking still hull end is somewhat limited in use and application.
