Berry Syedow Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 This just in from Classic-Castle.com: A new Viking Chess Set! 8- Quote
Djole Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Yeah my post is there :-) Once again WOOOW :-D :-D :-D The best minfig pack I've seen for a decade.... Greetings from Serbia Quote
Echo Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 That is a darn spiffy set! I will definantly buy it! Quote
Shakar Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 DARK BLUE CAPES! VIKING SOLDIERS AND LEADERS! LOTS OF MINIFIGS! BEST VIKING SETS EVER! Oh, man....must get this! Sorry my exictment... *wub* Wait wait wait....do I see a Viking queen? 8- Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I should buy 2 of these and make a viking army! :-) Looks like a great set! Now we need a SW one with clones and battledroids |-/ Quote
natelite Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 well, the knights and rooks suck. so it's mostly a 24-minifig set for $50. a bit steep don't you think? um, on second thoughts that's like $2 per mf....hmm, sounds reasonable? Quote

Yeah, the knights are a disappointment. TLC should’ve used this piece to differentiate the knights from the previous set. Not to mention that dark red and dark blue would be great additions to that mold. The rooks are passable for including a Viking Shield. What it all boils down to is if you’re an army builder (chess fanatic? :-P) or not. I’ll be getting at least one of these come Christmas. Quote
Starwars4J Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Absolutely fantastic. The figs and armorments alone make the set more than worth it. I doubt I'll be getting two...at least right away, but still...man :'-) Yes, yes, now just a Star Wars version or two (it wouldn't violate the agreement with Hasbro), and maybe a classic castle version? Hoping for too much, eh? :-P Quote
Berry Syedow Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 Yes, yes, now just a Star Wars version or two (it wouldn't violate the agreement with Hasbro), and maybe a classic castle version? Hoping for too much, eh? :-P ...And a Pirates Chess Set! I can think of various combinations. Pirates vs. Islanders, Pirates vs. Red/blue coats, Red coats vs. Blue coats (not entirely sure if they're both British), Red/blue coats vs. Spaniards. The list goes on and on. Whenever TLC revives the theme they need to make a Pirates Chess set! Quote
natelite Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 if they ever come up with a star wars chess set i will be getting 100s of those. ;-) wait 5 years and they should inflat like 100x.... just a thought...lol. Quote

Athos Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 I'd like to see what face and torso are used for the queens. Steve Quote
Starwars4J Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 The face, from what I can see, seems to be the same as the human queen from the KK2 chess set, and from the looks of it, all MFs seem to have the same torso, king and queen included Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 It's not available over here yet, which makes me sad. I would like one for my Birthday, but I guess we'll have to wait. :'-( But what a great set! I'll get this to complete my chess set collection! Quote
KimT Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 YES *wub* *wub* The Viking theme seems to be here to stay!!! This is a must have addition to my KK chess set. I knew there'd be more than 2 Viking sets this year :-P KimT Quote
Shakar Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 I figured out the two shield designs! If you look at the third pic, you will see that the red faction has this type but red instead of yellow, while the blue faction has this type, but blue instead of red! We even got new shield designs....awesome. *y* *wub* Shakar Quote
SuvieD Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Lovely! *wub* I will get one for sure. I am sort of sad that the knights are not dragons but it is still cool. Does anyone actually use their KK chess set for chess? Quote
Khorne Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Lovely! *wub* I will get one for sure. I am sort of sad that the knights are not dragons but it is still cool. Does anyone actually use their KK chess set for chess? I think it is rare to find someone using his chess set for chess. When you put your minifigs on and off the studs, the grip of the minifig's feet will loosen, so it's better to play chess with a REAL chess set. Quote

When you put your minifigs on and off the studs, the grip of the minifig's feet will loosen, so it's better to play chess with a REAL chess set. Indeed.Also, 90% of those who buy this set (and the KK one too) do it for the figs, not to play chess. ;-) I figured out the two shield designs!

It's a red black version of this one. Or maybe it is the snake one... EDIT: Wait! Am I the only one who noticed this? The USA S@H says "Coming soon on 20 Sep 2006" ....I hope it is like last year, when the Vikings sets came far earlier in Europe... Shakar Quote
SkaForHire Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 THis is very sweet indeed.... The more vikings the better! Can't wait, would be nice to see the red faction turn into their own sets or something? (or am i wrong, and are they already in sets? i only have one set actually built, the rest are MIB and stored until i have more room) would be cool to have two minifig factions for the theme. Quote
Berry Syedow Posted August 10, 2006 Author Posted August 10, 2006 Just a heads up, TLC has removed the Viking page. Quote
Sir Dillon Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Just a heads up, TLC has removed the Viking page. Hmm. Hopefully it'll still be coming out in September, and not later. Quote
