Blakstone Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Also the two battle packs have unique figures as how many Lion Knight kings do you need. I suppose you could have multiple Dragon wizards but I wouldn't need them. I only bought the two cheapest Castle 2013 sets myself. Sure, that dragon is neat but I hate the heraldry and simplistic good / evil theme. I hope we get a new Castle reboot or that they just bring back Kingdoms. Quote

TeufelHund Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Where are the 480 pieces? It looks like a bunch of big panels to me...and only two measly minifigs...Lego shame on you. I'm still hopeful we'll get a Castle UCS set announced at some stage this year but I won't hold my breath. Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 There is a lot of bricks inside youcan see them onthe box. I really want that set for pieces. Love that plate! Quote
David Thomsen Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I don't know why people are so disappointed, it's clearly aimed at younger builders, it's like being disappointed that a Duplo grocery store doesn't have the detail of a Modular Building. It's disappointing that they don't seem to have any more advanced Castle buildings this year, but this Juniors set doesn't really deserve any ill will for being what it is. Who announced a castle USC set? I think you just did. Quote
gedren_y Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) The castle looks like it uses the same piece and printing from the Juniors Pony Farm. It isn't available on the site yet, even though all the others are. The battle packs are available now, though. When it does become available, I will probably get a couple of these. I have uses for those parts. Edited February 18, 2014 by gedren_y Quote
Ridge Montante Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I think there are three figures. It looks like a king is on the right tower behind the catapult. Quote
SerenityInFire Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 It looks to be the same printing on the arch and the two prison cells as the Juniors Police Station. Quote
AlphaQuad Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I wish they would print more instead of using stickers on the more advanced sets :( Quote
gedren_y Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 The printing on the small wall pieces looks different to me. I see no rivets. Quote
Artanis I Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I'm hoping that the darker blue parts are not standard blue, but that the lighter blue parts are standard blue. Why? Because of the castle wall turret thingies. It would be good to replace the yellowed ones on that little ship I have, the only previous set with that part in blue. Quote
SirBlake Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Fairly certain that the flags and triangular slopes are blue and the roof and crenellated wall sections are light blue, based on the blur of the shield and figs. Quote

Couldn't even give me 5 minutes of hope, could you. Yes, that already occurred to me, but remember last year we thought from the photos that the dragon knights had pale skin. 1% chance...

Artanis I Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Again, I see no saddle. Looks to be something in the right-hand prison section. A skeleton or ghost perhaps? Looks white. Quote

Skeleton. And no saddle your right. How can a figure ride a horse without a saddle lol! Must be a poor kingdom :P Edited February 19, 2014 by AlphaQuad Quote
HawkLord Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Local Lego store had the Knights and Dragons Accessory Packs out today. Grabbed the Knights because the printing looks sooooo good. Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Local Lego store had the Knights and Dragons Accessory Packs out today. Grabbed the Knights because the printing looks sooooo good. Please do the review and comparison Pack vs Set quality :) Quote
Durins Bane Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 i got two crion packs today and the quality is the same as the sets! Quote
Kliq Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 i got two crion packs today and the quality is the same as the sets! How are the hands? Quote
HawkLord Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 The hands feel ever so slightly loose on mine. Just a tad better than CMF quality, but not as good as regular set quality. Who knows how long Lego has had these lined up, so maybe the figures have been holding weapons for some time now. Otherwise, everything else is perfect - the printing is really good. One of the knights has double-sided face printing, while three of the Dragons have double-sided face printing. Quote
