Dr.Cogg Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I assume the Trolls fortress will be like their corner on the giant chess set. Quote
metalandi Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 You mean in the style of it, because "like it" would be a bit small Quote
Zarkan Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Thanks for the news, Christan! Even though there's only three kits, I like the sound of all of them. Here's my thoughts: King's Battle Chariot - Hm, this sounds like a Crownie version of the Skeleton Prision Carriage. I hope that this includes two horses, two crownies, and an ork or two. Drawbridge Defense - I hope this is modular so you can add it onto the Castle Siege from 2007. I would like to see at least three orks, two crownies, and a dwarf or two. Troll's Dark Fortress - Yes, finally the Trolls get a place to call home! I personally expect that this will be built up using lots of black arches, brown plates, and grey burps. I hope we get at least four normal trolls, one giant troll, the Troll hag, two crownies, and two dwarfs. Maybe the Crownies could also have a small siege tower as well. This is not the full release of the 2009 castle sets. These will be spring release sets. The majority of the sets will be released in the summer like they were last year in the USA. We must all be patient. Although it must be harder for people in other countries. The 2008 sets were released much earlier for you folks, and hence a longer wait between product lines. Huh? How do you know that? These seem to be most definitely the summer sets, not spring sets. Quote
Brickette Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I'm sorry if this was mentioned before, but what happened with the Medieval Marketplace set? Was it delayed or what? I can't even find the box image in the bricklink reference catalog. I desperately want this set to flush out my castle sets with some "innocent civilians!" Thanks in advance for help and info. Quote
SWMAN Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 It would be nice if the Drawbridge Defense was attachable to the Castle. Quote
Sir Dillon Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 The quantity of sets coming up is a little disappointed, but I'm still excited just looking their names. I'm hoping the Drawbridge Defense set is reminiscent of 6078: Quote
metalandi Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 These were exactly my first thoughts, as it comes to the drawbridge. I don't really see this becoming a set that is attachable to the big castle, but more of a stand alone set, that would be somewhere outside the castle in the kingdom. Quote
Svelte Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Brickette, Medieval Market Village is intended as a special January Exclusive release, so it wouldn't be in the latest (rumored) set list as it's already been confirmed and scheduled. Quote
Brickette Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Amazing! Thank you for the info. Also, I suspect that at least one part of the drawbridge defense will have the little 2x1 technic bricks like the other castle parts so they could be put together if you wanted. The modular building is actually something I really like about the new sets, I was thinking about buying another king's castle set and making a bigger castle with a full inner keep. Here's hoping for some dwarf and orc/troll battle packs. :D Quote
Johnny 5 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Even though there is only three sets that we know of so far there could two waves of sets, these sets could be the first wave and there could be more that we don't know about that'll be the second wave. Quote
SWMAN Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I hope that the drawbridge defense is somehow compatible with the castle. It would be nice if you could replace the current drawbridge on the castle with the drawbridge defense. Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) I hope that the drawbridge defense is somehow compatible with the castle. It would be nice if you could replace the current drawbridge on the castle with the drawbridge defense. Perhaps TLG manages to design it in that way that you can put it in front of the King's Castle in order to feign a forework, SWMAN. I must say that I'm very curious about what the jubilee set will be . But I think that we'll unluckily have to wait a long time until we'll get more information and pics since the amazing 10193 is already released in January. And so another Castle Exclusive set will imo surely not been released before summer/fall. So we'll have to wait unitl (late) spring for pics and more information. And of course an archer (with bow) Impulse set and a dwarf Impulse set would be great. But which would be even better than these would be a medieval citizen Impulse set.

Pencoin Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Well we got Summer Pictures in January. I not castles biggest fan but I do like the sets and plan on getting some. Quote
Dwarvenlord Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 And of course an archer (with bow) Impulse set and a dwarf Impulse set would be great. Yeah - but not a crossbow . Since i have a limited archery stock, all longbows are welcome Quote
MoonCheese Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I have a few black bows and quivers from Native American sets, which I might use to equip Castle figs. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Well we got Summer Pictures in January. I not castles biggest fan but I do like the sets and plan on getting some. What pictures are you talking about? Quote
metalandi Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I think he means pictures of this year's summer releases What else? We don't have january 2009 yet (unfortunately) Quote
UsernameMDM Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I think he means pictures of this year's summer releases What else? We don't have january 2009 yet (unfortunately) I thought so, just making sure. Quote
JimBee Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 You know that clone helmet in your sig pic, well for a long time I thought it was some weird puppy dog on a bubble type thingy, you know the two eyes and nose. Creepy! It wasn't until I saw your travels around the world that I realized it was a clone helmet. Same here! But then I saw another pic of the KimT fig, and realized what it was. The troll fortress sounds great, hopefully the queen will be included in this one. I also am hoping for troll and dwarf BPs. Quote
2009 man Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 grate queen lego is going to be rich Quote
Algernon Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Castle sets never seen to skimp on Minifigs. I'm sure the Troll Fortress will come with plenty. :D Quote
metalandi Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 First, i don't really know what this is about, but while surfimng over classic castle i found a thread named "awesome website", with the content of the post beeing deleted and instead written by the admins: "Link to leaks removed by Admin". I assume the poster found something interesting about 2009 sets, but i don't know if pictures or only the list we already know, or if it even has got to do something witch castle. Anyway, i pm'ed him and i'll let you know when i get an answer. You can check out the closed thread here: http://www.classic-castle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15826 Quote

I'm sure we will eventually see this "poster" or whatever the fuss is about. A witch Castle? Doesn't seem to match up with the set names we've got. Maybe she is the leader of the trolls and is in their fortress, like the evil wizard is in the Skeleton Tower... Thanks! -darthperson Quote
legobear Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Why are these leaks so hard to find reallly can't wait to these pics Quote
