hollisbrick Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) *wub* *wub* *wub* the chariot!!! i wonder when it will be realesed? have to get a couple! something tells me this is the *skull* impulse ive been waiting for! Edited January 2, 2008 by hollisbrick Quote
salty tbone Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I think what the skellie chariot lacks is accessories, like the other Impulse sets. As for the catapult, I think the mechanism is fine, seeing that it is a 5 dollar set and it shouldn't be too complicated.-Chuck I really hope it's not a $5 set (especially when compared with the $6 Crossbow Attack). Does anyone know the price of these? Are they impulse sets (and $3.50 like others on S&H)? Quote
Hinckley Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I edited these into the first post, but thought I'd post them here too... Quote
LEGO Maniac JEM Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I like the skeleton chariot and Knight with catapult. :-) Maybe there are no shields because Lego is going to release a Castle weapons service pack. Now if only Lego would release a Castle set which just has an archer or a knight with movable pointy visor with chainmail torso, a horse with printed barding, a shield and five different weapons and no missiles. I'd also love to have a dwarf impulse set and a set which just contains one of each different knight with enough weapons and shields for all of them. Quote
iamded Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) All those set ideas sound great, LEGO Maniac JEM! I'm sure kids would gobble up sets like those too, kids like having armies to sick against each other, don't they? :-D ~Peace EDIT: I just noticed in 7040 a red rubber band, so I assume when the wheels move, they turn the blades in front. Ah, playability. And I wonder if the ram in 7037 works in a pendulum style. That would be cool. *sweet* Edited January 2, 2008 by iamded Quote
Lord Of Pies Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I like the new impulse, my skellie army will have a lot of undead steeds though! Quote
Shakar Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Look what I found here. It is different than the other pic we saw. An impulse set with the armour wouldn't hurt. Shakar Quote
Hinckley Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Look what I found here. It is different than the other pic we saw. An impulse set with the armour wouldn't hurt.Shakar That appears to be from a dealer catalog, so it would be a preliminary shot. But, you never know... Quote
Vader Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Nice armour in that pic, lets hope thats not a prelim pic, i for one would welcome such a new piece. Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 At last a close up of that armor! No, I don't think it's a preliminary pic. Remember, the Troll Attack Ship and the Tower both have the same helmet and armor on the warrior, so I'm betting it's official. Better than just a metallic helmet. The armor looks like a rehashed version of Ogel's armor or the U.F.O. alien's armor. I just hope it's a new piece. Quote
Shakar Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 You can find that armour in the tower set and on the ship set, too. Thinking of it, while this would be a cheap way to obtain it, I would prefer if the final set was the one in the other pic we saw. The orc in this one has a copper helmet and the new dark bley torso, while the other one features a speckle silver helmet and the "old" brown torso. So, I would personally prefer it for generic orc soldiers. Shakar Quote
jifel Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 forget a differant orc, on the other pic theres no flick fire missle! :'-) jifel Quote
alex54 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Those new impulse sets are good evenif there are those crappy missles! For the knight soldier the catapult don't bother me because of the pan, always usefull for a city fan :-D Quote
Piranha Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Thanks Shakar for that pic!! The TW has the new armor mold and the golden helm! I always thought the one with the golden helm was king or something and now hes reduced to pushing a battle cart :-D :-P The armor is a new mold as you can see in this picture The TW on the left side has armor and the golden helm I find no fault in the Skellie impulse , except a missing shield and thats about all The other knight impulse should have head the other helm style, so at least we could have two types of soldiers P Quote
iamded Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) Ooh, disappointing. I considered the armoured, golden helmed Orks to be the leaders, and I don't want my leaders to outnumber my troops! However the Crossbow doohickey is much better, with 2 spears, a crossbow, and no flick-fire missile! :-D ~Peace Edited January 2, 2008 by iamded Quote
maiq the liar Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) OoOooh, i can find a good use for that green dragon (sans wings, and with a bit of sharpie, foil and tape) MechaDrago ON! (also, everything else in mother3/earthbound 2 ON!) Edited January 3, 2008 by maiq the liar Quote
KimT Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 It doesn't get any better than this *wub* *wub* Castle/undead/fantasy is the BEST theme in years. KimT [considering to burn his nearly complete SW collection] Quote
xwingyoda Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 KimT [considering to burn his nearly complete SW collection] what what what ?? Heresy I say X-D !! Blasphemay shall not be tolerated :-P *yoda* Quote
zz-80 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 What I really miss among all new castle sets: a simple bow+quiver combination! Hope they will be produced again. I don't like the crossbows that much and I think that bow+quiver suits the other castle guy (the one who got the helmet with chinstrap and wide brim) better. Quote

Yeah a new wave of bows and quivers would be great. There's a lot for sale on BL though. KimT Quote

Brainbox Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah a new wave of bows and quivers would be great. There's a lot for sale on BL though. Yeah, but it's not the same is it? Getting them of BL just doesn't feel like actually getting them in a set. I'd certainly love to see them in sets more often. As for the new troll armour, I like it. Probably wouldn't want every troll to have it, but for some it's great. Quote
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Look what's on S@H! =D Sorry if this was already mentioned! -Ikk Quote
Vader Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Look what's on S@H! =D Sorry if this was already mentioned! -Ikk Ahhh so it's finally up for order then, yesterday i had my lego catalog come through and was surprised to see it shown. Yet the website didn't have it, strange but i guess there was some mistake. Also the dwarf mine is priced at Quote
TheFrisian Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Look what's on S@H! =D Sorry if this was already mentioned! -Ikk Nice find! That wasn't there when I visited shop@home yesterday! *sweet* Quote
