Erdbeereis Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 No these aren't the normal ones. The catalog shown above is the Shop@Home catalog. It can be ordered via the official website. For example here.Yep, it came in the mail today. But I cannot tell you the date of the arrivall in the US. I´m just glad we get some things before you. :-P ;-) :-P Thanks for the info! I hope it comes soon here... I can't wait to see all of the new sets. Did it include all of the new sets or just castle? Quote
iamded Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks for the new pic, Navy Trooper Fenson! That set looks so cooool! But it's soooo expensive! X-D ~Peace Quote
Svelte Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 As for the Battlewheel, I just hope that the price you quoted will be good for Australians, love that weird machine. The last issue of the Lego Club magazine had a price of $AUD59.99 for the Battle Wheel, with a release date of April exclusively at Toys R Us. Quote

hollisbrick Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Oh. Well that translates to 1 dollar and 85 cents in NZD more than the price already on S@H. X-D Thanks for the pics though!Really? This one, Troll Assault Wagon: ~Peace oh my bad :-$ grr and can you stop making me want to buy this set Navy trooper >:-( X-D Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks for the pics, The Kid and NTF *wub* The set looks even better now *sweet* One thing I dislike about it though, like the battle packs, is that the crownies are all mixed up, with archers with flared helmets and knights with kettle helmets. Another thing I noticed is that the witch looks like she has the evil shogun's head from the ninja theme.. X-D Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 :-P Thanks for the info! I hope it comes soon here... I can't wait to see all of the new sets. Did it include all of the new sets or just castle? The Catalog include all new Castle Sets, a few new Bionicle garbage, the new Speed Racers and the Green Grocer. In europe we can buy all the new Castle sets, but just on S@H and in the Lego Stores. And I found just 3 Troll Towers and 25 of the Battle Weehls in cologne last week. I saw on photos from the Toy Fair 2008 that the new Castle Sets do arrive in north america in august. Also a Dwarves Mine repack that costs 10$ more, is aviable everywhere and hasn´t the yellow special edition box. P.S. My two Troll wagons and dwarve catapults from S@H are just arrived.^^ Quote
metalandi Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Could anybody tell me what i must do exactly to get such a catalogue? Quote
Tacitus Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Could anybody tell me what i must do exactly to get such a catalogue? Go to Lego Shop at Home via lego.com, and sign up. Just that simple. Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Has anyone in the US gotten the catalogue yet? I'm dying to see the Chess set up close and personal. It's kinda hard to do that to a computer screen. X-D Also, it seems the smiley list is quite shorter... :-/ Quote
ExoBuilder Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Has anyone in the US gotten the catalogue yet? I'm dying to see the Chess set up close and personal. It's kinda hard to do that to a computer screen. X-D Also, it seems the smiley list is quite shorter... :-/ I'm looking forward to getting mine, I'd like to see the picture. I noticed some of the smiles are gone. The laugh is gone :'-( Quote
Athos Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 I hope they give the witch a better face. I wonder if she is the same as the Advent calendar figure... probably. Steve Quote
iamded Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Unfortunately Australia and New Zealand can't order those catalogues. *sing* :'-( And I don't know what you guys are talking about, if you click the little next below the smilies you'll get more. ~Peace Quote
The Kid Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 You can also get the Castle 2008 sets in TRU in the UK. TK Quote
Holodoc Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 And I don't know what you guys are talking about, if you click the little next below the smilies you'll get more. Hinckley is doing some smiley-maintenace right now. But I´m sure all smilies will return (sooner or later). Quote
Corvus Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Just saw the mega-chess set on S@H. Wow. Big. Pricey... 8-| Three hundred, ouch. It's a lot bigger than I expected- sure looks great. Will Quote
iamded Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 About the witches head, TinyPiesRUs makes a good point, and I'm probably wrong, but could it be this head? That would be great. Much better than the other Samurai one! :-D ~Peace Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 About the witches head, TinyPiesRUs makes a good point, and I'm probably wrong, but could it be this head? That would be great. Much better than the other Samurai one! :-D ~Peace Hmm, it could be, but I hope it's a new face. .. Although a samurai witch wouldn't go amiss.. X-D As for the torso and legs, they look great, like an black version of the princess *wub* Quote
brickzone Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Although Argos had the exclusive on Castle '07 here in Ireland, not only do the proper toy chains have Castle '08, but Smyth's Toys even has Castle '07 now stocked. Was surprised to see the King's Castle and Skeleton Tower, etc. when I'd only been expecting to browse Castle '08. Quote
Shoc Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 About the witches head, TinyPiesRUs makes a good point, and I'm probably wrong, but could it be this head? That would be great. Much better than the other Samurai one! :-D ~Peace Aaagh, no! I have loads of that head! I don't think it is anyway. Looks like a new face, yay! I love her green dress as well. *skull* Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I'm looking forward to getting mine, I'd like to see the picture.I noticed some of the smiles are gone. The laugh is gone :'-( Yeah; now I'll have nothing to fall back on when I see a noob make an incredibly hilarious post. :'-( Hey wait, it's back! :-D Quote
DarkYamiDragon Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I saw on photos from the Toy Fair 2008 that the new Castle Sets do arrive in north america in august. Also a Dwarves Mine repack that costs 10$ more, is aviable everywhere and hasn´t the yellow special edition box. August!? I swore that I heard that they would be released in late April. Does anybody know where I can get them (I'm in the US) from someplace that's not eBay? Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 The first post sais it´s april. But this picture tell me august. http://flickr.com/photos/no_onions/2276922...57603941462077/ Quote
Holodoc Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Another thing I noticed is that the witch looks like she has the evil shogun's head from the ninja theme.. Sorry - wrong. ;-) About the witches head, TinyPiesRUs makes a good point, and I'm probably wrong, but could it be this head? Wrong again. :-D Here are closeups of the evil king and queen: The king seems to have a red right eye (some kind of conjunctivitis I think X-D ). Hard to identify more of that face. But I´d say this is a silver beard. Cool. The queen is obviously different. If anybody wants more closeups let me know. New heads ON! Quote
Naith Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 nice one on the close up im glad theyve given the "evil queen" a new face instead of an older version but what is that red things shes holding? a snake? or a new wand? Quote
