SuvieD Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Have any of you seen this? Someone on CC pointed it out. Quick make this front page news this is great! :oo :oD :-D This is better than any castle set yet made. I think I am in *wub* wub *wub* Quote
eDeevo Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Man, I just saw this set this morning! Unfortunately, "Sorry, item is not available in this country."... I'll bet you guys across the sea will be loving it though :-D I had been hoping that LEGO would create one of these sets, it is a great army builder... Life is Good. Quote
DoubleT Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Wow looks good.... and some new minifigs also.. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 9, 2005 Governor Posted June 9, 2005 Seen no... Heard of yes... Good work alerting us SuvieD! So LEGO Chess moves from virtual to physical reality. Excellent! Quote
ApophisV Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Thanks for the info, Suvie! I have posted it at the main page! Quote
Darth_Ewok Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Wow, I need one of those! All those shadow knights! I wonder if they will release it over here in the states? Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 9, 2005 Governor Posted June 9, 2005 Why wouldn't they release it everywhere? Do they think it will sell better in certain parts of the world? Quote
snefroe Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 i like the blue helmets a lot... perhaps i'll buy those on bricklink in a few year's time... Quote
jonfett Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 That looks great! Great work SuvieD! :) I think I may buy one ( Quote
snefroe Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 i would paint the helmets, tho... turn it into iron helmets or whatever... the bows i would paint to... Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 I may not use it for chess. I may use it to build some new space factions. Yeah! Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Oh man, I just realised that my mum wanted to buy me something to celebrate my exam results. THIS IS TOO PERFECT! :-D Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 This set is awsome for army building :oD And its vailable in France, yeahhhhhhhh !!!!! I only wish they could do one for SW !!!!!!!!!!!!! clones vs wookies (and thats a chess board so maybe not licence problems !!!!!). Thats really a nice surprise!!!!!! Quote
chewie Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 well everyone back when i was getting information about those magnets i did see this in the cataloug of stuff they might get. And that is definatley and awsome army builder set Quote
The Middleman Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 That is freakin' hot. EDIT: I was just looking around the site for it, and using the Zoom feature lets you see a lot of stuff. Try it out. Things I noticed: - blue castles use those Chinese weapons that are around in this wave of KK2 a lot, red castles use metallic axes. - the crowns appear to be new molds with holes for gems. - the crossbows are blue. - Vladek's wife is a skeleton with hair. How odd. - the entire thing is on a WHITE 32x32 baseplate - new color for it. Quote
Jipay Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 need...one... :^^D BTW I see black axes for the reds and no new molds for the crown *wacko* Quote
Griggy55 Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 I took the liberty of sticking all the zoomed in views together: Click for a closer view Looks like a great set, if its popular maybe they could do varients from other themes. Quote
The Middleman Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 need...one... :^^DBTW I see black axes for the reds and no new molds for the crown *wacko* Well, I meant metallic axes for the black CASTLES, and about the gem thing, my mistake... I got confused. The scepter and all. ;) EDIT: Hate to break the mood, but word at Classic-castle is that the figs might be glued together at the hips... hope this isn't the case. Quote
Jipay Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 lolol no problem :P this septer is only a lightsaber with a gem on it :) Quote
Norro Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 I was wondering where the blue soldiers from the cartoons in the KK2 instructions would turn up... God Bless, Nathan Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 9, 2005 Governor Posted June 9, 2005 Looks like a great set, if its popular maybe they could do varients from other themes. Yep! They can do a Pirate and Solider version next! Like the LEGO Chess computer game! Quote
Griggy55 Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 I was thinking Pirates but was also thinking (assuming the liecense alows it) Star Wars, 8 stormtroopers and 8 rebel troops per set... Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 9, 2005 Governor Posted June 9, 2005 Ah yes... Star Wars... There's already several Star Wars Chess products, would a LEGO version be popular enough? Quote
