hollisbrick Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Instructions for those who have forgotten about these sets. I made that with out buying it Sorry for the large pics, but I figured the resizer would do it's job to keep the thread tidy, and if you wanted a good view of the build, you can click the image to see a bigger version. ~Peace Yes, the magic of EB Quote
Dark_Avenger Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Not sure if this has been brought up, but it looks like LEGO dropped the chess set price to $200 US. http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=852293 Anyone know if this is some special/limited s@h thing, or if it's permanent? Quote

commanderbly42 Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Have the 08 castle sets (besides the Troll Battle Wheel) been released everywhere in the US or are they just on S@H and at TRU? Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! In my Lego store in Cologne I found this piece of paper with pictures for all four corners. The only special thing here is that the trolls/orcs like their flags. Edited May 30, 2008 by Navy Trooper Fenson Quote
Lego Knight Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 As usual Michigan doesn't have any new sets...We just got the castle siege set.... Quote
iamded Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks for the pic, Navy Trooper Fenson! Darnit, just when I'd gotten over the Giant Castle Chess Set! ~Peace Quote
Chuck Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Looks like the skeleton Knight has one of the scythe-blades/sword in black. -Chuck Quote
iamded Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Looks like the skeleton Knight has one of the scythe-blades/sword in black.-Chuck Nope. Check the zoom picture. ~Peace Quote
Dovchenko Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Nope. Check the zoom picture. ~Peace Ah well, black and grey wouldn't be so much of a colour difference anyway if you know what I mean. We've only got the Troll Battle Wheel in Windsor, ON. Only a few copies left actually, all indy was sold out except for a single jungle cutter, the Ark set and about 10 copies of the motorcycle chase. Quote
Sandy Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Hey guys! I'm new here... so yeah. I have to say that the new Fantasy Era Castle-line was the sole reason I got into legos after ten years. I've spent much of my salary into collecting the new sets, but I still lack about eight of them (getting the Skeleton Tower today, though). I adore the dwarves and can't wait to see if Elves are really going to happen. I'm still a big fantasy fan despite being all grown-up and stuff. But I also want to cherish the child within me, so I returned to my lego-hobby. Hmm, I had a point here to post... Oh yeah, my old legos are stashed away at my childhood home, but once I fetch them here to my own place, I'll try and build some castle creations of my own here. You guys are just so good that I don't know if I can match up, heh... But yes, I too wish to see more Fantasy Era sets in the upcoming years. They could ease up with all the catapults, though, and come up with some other action features... Quote

You should post a hello thread over here so everyone can meet you! Hope to see some castle creations soon Quote
concreteasflesh Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Now I know that the Advent Castle Calender 7979 has been updated and now features new figs, and the pre-pic is no longer useful. However I was looking more closely at the pre-pic and it seemed to me that the knight was carrying a quite bright broad sword, and even looks like it might of been pearl or chrome gold. Below you can see the pic for your self. On another note does anyone know any information about the set, its release date(probably Sept) or any new pics floating around? Ive seen that on the new box pic there are the parts detail on the box top, any possible close-ups? Ide sure like to know more about this special set! Pre-pic of 7979: Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 By broad sword you mean the basic Castle sword? Yes, it's glowing, but how about you take another look at the pic? The answer is quite obvious and(yes, I'll give you a hint) it's sprung from the season. Quote
The Cobra Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) On another note does anyone know any information about the set, its release date(probably Sept) A major Italian online seller states this set will be available in September. Since we usually are the last in line, it will hardly hit the shops anytime later in the rest of the world. Edited June 3, 2008 by The Cobra Quote

Do you have any new pics, because as far as we know on EB this is the only pic seen, so we dont know if the calendar will be different or not. Quote

Just a change of colour for the Dwarf's beard (darn), a different face for the Jester, and new designs and clearer pics for the maiden and witch. Okay, so that's quite a few differences. ~Peace Quote
steelharbingerofdeath Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 has this been spotted yet or is it out already? steel... ps: the maiden looked hotter with the first design... Quote
iamded Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) <snip>has this been spotted yet or is it out already? steel... ps: the maiden looked hotter with the first design... I'm pretty sure I saw I review of this somewhere around here... An exclusive to Legoland or something. And the first maiden may look hotter, but the new one has more 'defined' curves. ~Peace Edited June 5, 2008 by iamded Quote
Sir Dano Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 And the first maiden may look hotter, but the new one has more 'defined' curves. Finally, something we agree on. Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I'm not sure if anyone has posted this, and I apologise if they have, but the Lego Castle page has been updated, and now features a story section. It explains the alliance between the Undead and the Orcs, characteristics of the Dwarves and Trolls, and the story of the turkey leg on a stick But dragon enthusiasts be warned, for there is plenty anti-dragon propaganda here It can be found here.

I don't like the sound of that, I better go read it to see what I'm up against... EDIT: Ah huh. Not to bad. But the writer definitely got some things wrong. He got some things right though, like dragons love gold, as well as any shiny and/or precious objects. However I don't like the way dragons have been treated in this little story. It's not their faults they're in love with gold. It's just in their nature. I would go on but I'm supposed to be working on an English Research paper, so I'll stop... ...for now...

WhiteFang Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Oh man, finally! You have no idea how long I've been waiting for them to update this page! Thanks for pointing it out, TinyPiesRUs! I wouldn't agreed less. I thought TLC had forgotten about updating those pages. I am glad they did. At least, it gave us some insights towards this Castle theme. Quote
