December 30, 200816 yr Hi to all....I am thinking that it would be very interesting if they had made the Drawbridge as a separate set but still able to connect to the Kings Castle Siege!!
December 30, 200816 yr Alas that the Drawbridge appears to have no windows, is this the new open-style living? It appears...
December 30, 200816 yr Hi to all....I am thinking that it would be very interesting if they had made the Drawbridge as a separate set but still able to connect to the Kings Castle Siege!! I'd say that's a good guess. Both the Castle and Pirate lines already have the ability of modular building within the larger sets.
December 30, 200816 yr As for multiples of unique figs, I wouldn't mind getting a few of the gold knight. I could use them as royal guards/crownie commandos etc.
December 30, 200816 yr Another reason that it would make sense is that what better way to introduce the queen and jester!! Plus the addition of golden knight and maybe thats the reason skellies are back just like from Kings Castle Siege!!! Just my thought?
December 30, 200816 yr To all of you who are mad about the king in the chariot set, boo hoo. You forget that Lego is targeted to kids, especially this line. And not all kids can afforrd a $100 castle, or a $200 chess set. Now I'm sure that is a primary reason why Lego put the King in a small set. What's the worse thing that can happen? You don't buy it? You use the minifig parts to make a new one? You sell the figure on Bricklink? I'm not trying to be mouthy, but some of you people should really hear yourselves sometimes... -darthperson (PS- Dont you trash-talk legomilk, he is very helpful on here, even if his English isn't perfect...)
December 30, 200816 yr Thanks for putting things straight darthperson. Remember that the pics floating the internet are preliminary and most likely to change before the sets are finalised. I really don't care wether I get a king in every set or not. The torso's great and the crown will do well in any treasure chamber - be that human, skellie or orcish. Judging from the preliminary pictures, the sets look fine to me. They may look a little KK2, but given the fact that the previous Castle sets we're awesome in a non-KK2-way, I am assured that the 2009 wave wont be a step backwards to the rainbowwarriors and the most hideous castle theme ever. Anyways, if you don't like the new wave, then get another 10193 instead. - The set most likely meant to be aimed at us AFOLs anyway. No need to complaint when we've been given such an awesome set. Being a fan isn't solely about bitching about the sets to come. It's also about appreciating the sets given.
December 30, 200816 yr Sometimes I get the feeling, that negative opinions on sets are not very welcome at all. If someone thinks, that there are too many kings in the new sets, he has the right to think so. But if you write someting like that, there are immediatley posts saying "remember the children", " You are not forced to buy it", etc. This may be right, but doesn´t seem to make much sense to me. I know that lego is aimed to kids, but nevertheless I don´t like having 2 Kings in 3 new Sets. Another example are the prelim-pictures: They are blurry and, as the name says, preliminary. Someone wrote, he didn´t like, what he saw. Then there were 2 comments: "You can´t judge from what you see, it´s too blurry", but in the same post was written "I like the new sets so far", and nobody did complain, but if someone says that the pictures are too blurry to critisize something, how can he say they look good? Just my two cents...
December 30, 200816 yr Good points Scop. Screw the kids, loose the kings and let's have some real deal Castle sets
December 31, 200816 yr I'm actually looking forward to multiple King figs, that way I'll be able to sell off the extras to bring down the total cost of the set in the first place. Is the queen different from the fig in Skeleton Tower?
December 31, 200816 yr Is the queen different from the fig in Skeleton Tower? Yes, she is - the one in Skeleton Tower was a princess, actually. But to admire the queen in all her glory, just take a look at the first post of this topic.
December 31, 200816 yr I'm actually looking forward to multiple King figs, that way I'll be able to sell off the extras to bring down the total cost of the set in the first place.Is the queen different from the fig in Skeleton Tower? With the King not being in a low cost set, I don't know how much the King figure will be worth. As of right now, he is only available in expensive sets, so he is probably worth a fair amount. But, once he is released in a cheap set, he will become cheap.
December 31, 200816 yr The current king figure from Castle Siege is only worth around $5 (USD). Maybe I'm just used to the pricing of Star Wars figures, but that's already not very much .
December 31, 200816 yr Can anyone take a guess at what that dark blue thing is in this picture? Looks like a small dragon to me, but any other ideas? I am also glad to see that white skeleton horse, which probably means the return of Skellies. Especially since in the 2009 catalog has an article title of "Knights, Dwarfs, and Trolls!". Where's the Skellie love? I can wait on Elves as long as Skellies are here to stay. Also, it seems like we won't be getting those new rumored Castle sets until Wave 2 this year...
January 1, 200916 yr Which picture? Back a few pages... They were blurry. No, I think Pencoin asked which picture JimButcher was asking about, with the dark blue thing. But I don't know either what picture he is talking about :) On topic: I think the drawbridge looks really nice and the chariot is certainly interesting. But the picture of the trolls castle is way to blurry for me to judge from. Hopefully it is stacked with dark brown.
January 2, 200916 yr Page 140. This set. I was asking about the dark blue thing in the background, near the middle-left.
January 2, 200916 yr Page 140. This set. I was asking about the dark blue thing in the background, near the middle-left. i think your eyes are seeing things. i see a skeleton on a skeletal horse. and another black skeleton running down the mountains slightly above it.
January 2, 200916 yr Page 140. This set. I was asking about the dark blue thing in the background, near the middle-left. That's just the skeleton rider's hood and scythe making that shape. But it took me a while to see that, too.
January 2, 200916 yr 500th Post on 1yr Anniv! Did anyone else see the yellowish flags on top of chariot? Almost looks like there is an insignia or mark on them... Edited January 2, 200916 yr by Dadster
January 2, 200916 yr 500th Post on 1yr Anniv!Did anyone else see the yellowish flags on top of chariot? Almost looks like there is an insignia or mark on them... Sorry but that's a no-go. They're regular golden castle flags..at least in that preliminary picture.
January 2, 200916 yr i think your eyes are seeing things. i see a skeleton on a skeletal horse. and another black skeleton running down the mountains slightly above it. Probably... but somehow I am seeing something else... That's just the skeleton rider's hood and scythe making that shape. But it took me a while to see that, too. Ah, thanks Sandy. Still, it looks like it might not be a skeleton horse. It looks dark blue to me, and there's a tail to the right of it, like the end part of the regular dragon's tail (not the spike thing, the smooth, tail part that attaches to the the big tail part, an then to the spike thing). EDIT: Now I see how the scythe makes that weird shape by the horse's head, but I still see a dark blue tail. Edited January 2, 200916 yr by JimButcher
