hollisbrick Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 About time they updated it! But it makes me want the sets more they wont be out for ages... Quote
frogstudio Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) Hi!!! Just to add some speculation (something never seen arround here :) ) If you read carefully, all 2008 sets appear in the text. Yet, if a kid tried to recreate the whole story there would be a point when he would not have one needed set... and that is... The Celebration Feast with the Joust. Minifigs for it are ready (remember the maiden and the jester in the Advent Calendar?), so my guess is that this will be the great surprise for the end of the year... maybe an exclusive set... Just my two cents... :) Edited June 8, 2008 by frogstudio Quote
G.L.MAN Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 hiii!!! im new to eurobricks!!!!!! i would like to buy the advent calendar!!!! its an easy way to get kool castle minifigures!!!!! and also a way to get the brown dwarfe beard which only comes out in dwarves mine!!!!!!! Quote
Axel Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Welcome to Eurobricks, G.L. MAN. Glad that you're aexcited about the new Castle sets, but go easy on the exclamation marks... Anyway; the new Lego castle pages. The stories are okay, yes, they show some insight, but it looks like a kid wrote the stories...which was probably intended. I wouldn't mind elves being mentioned in the articles but... Quote
iamded Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 The stories are okay, yes, they show some insight, but it looks like a kid wrote the stories...which was probably intended. I wouldn't mind elves being mentioned in the articles but... No, a kid didn't write the stories, jsut someone who had in mind that the stories were for kids. I actually enjoyed them, good to have some explanations, makes me want to get an army of Troll Attackships. I particularly liked the story of the Troll Assault Wagons. Oh, and they've yet to add scimitars (Troll swords) and clubs to the weapons list... ~Peace Quote
Wilhelm screamer Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Honestly, I love the stories. They make me laugh. Quote

According to Amazon in Germany, advent calendar 7979 is due out on 24 September and is priced at EUR 17. I'm guessing that it'll be £15 in the UK but that's conjecture on my part. Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 And a playmat is also included. And I thought that Lego wouldn´t be like Playmobile anymore. Link: http://www.amazon.de/LEGO-7979-Castle-Adve...1677&sr=8-3 Quote

metalandi Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Seems today is new pictures of great new sets-day, check out these new pics from the giant castle chess set i found on brickshelf: Edited June 24, 2008 by metalandi Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Witch = WIN! That head is great on the Witch AND Claw-Dette, and it will give some new life to those of us who enjoy making minifigures out of U.S. political figures, particularly those who were running for president recently... And even more so those who dropped out recently... JK! Sorry for straying into the no-man's land of politics; I couldn't resist the comparison! Quote
WhiteFang Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 This chess set is really very nice especially after taking a closer look at the reclams. If it's not for the hefty price tag, I will defintely buy multiples of it. Quote
iamded Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks for the pics, Metalandi! Oh, that set is becoming more sweet every time I see it... ~Peace Quote

Oh why has it be so expensive Quote
AmperZand Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I found some more pictures, in amazingly high resolution! That's why i only post the links, check them out!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3110/260787...ccdd0de78_o.jpg Thanks for the pic links! I really like the new witch. She's creepy! I hope she's the same as the one in the forthcoming advent calendar. Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Thank you for the pics, metalandi! This witch looks really cool - I'm looking forward to have it included in the advent calendar (since I won't buy the chess set for sure)! BTW: Does someone know something about the content of the advent calendar (despite from the minfigs we already know)? I am really amazed about why we don't get pics since it'll be released in Sept./Oct. (and bricklink hasn't it yet on its list ). Klaus-Dieter Quote
metalandi Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Unfortunately, i had the hope it would be shown at brickworld, also for the coast guard platform, but nothing... But i have the feeling we'll get some amazing tlittle things in the calendar, cause TLG really stepped up the quality of the castle sets lately. I'm already dreaming 'bout the chess set Edited June 25, 2008 by metalandi Quote
iamded Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I found a Brickshelf folder with some more cool pics of the Giant Castle Chess Set. Mini troll battle tower ON! ~Peace Quote
WhiteFang Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Wow, that siege tower sure looks miniature for a mini-fig to stand on. How come I don't remember seeing this part around? Any idea, what role it plays in the chess set? It looks like a mini-wagon that carry a skeleton ramming soldiers around. Quote
metalandi Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 what about the "tower" role in the chess game? Quote
