Vader Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Ahhh great review Dr S *y* I really love this set, it's far better than i first expected it would be. I really like how the small boats are attached to the bigger one, as Athos pointed out it's a real shame that the smaller boats are so empty but that's lego for you. The new chocolate brown is nice, not sure if it will be a colour i will really use. Thanks for the review and i love the army in the background of some of your pics :-) Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted February 26, 2008 Author Posted February 26, 2008 The set looks beautifull, I'm in love *wub* Thanks for the fantastic review!! You've cleared any and all doubts I had about buying this magnificent set. Can I say something though? Your dragon has no horns, yet on the box it has two white horns on its armored head. You have a bit too many white horns left over, so I wonder, did you perhaps overlook a bit of the instructions? Or did you just not include them because you thought they didn't look well? Anyway, thanks for the great revieW!! *y* No, you are right, I realised last night after the pictures were posted that I'd forgotten to put the horns in. :-$ Dr. S. Quote
metalandi Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Great review! But what i just noticed..how do they navigate the ship? there is no steering wheel or something else! And how do they move the small boats? Nothing to row them there, as far as i see... Edited February 26, 2008 by metalandi Quote
brickzone Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Great review! But what i just noticed..how do they navigate the ship? there is no steering wheel or something else! And how do they move the small boats? Nothing to row them there, as far as i see... Magic! I guess the Evil Wizard has enchanted their stuff for them! Quote
wulf Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 What a great review thanks!Now I really want to get that set!!!! Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 What a great review thanks!Now I really want to get that set!!!! You mean you actually DIDN'T want it before he wrote the review? X-O :-P Quote
Asuka Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Thank you for a very nice review, Doctor Sinister! *y* That Quote
Athos Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 And how do they move the small boats? Nothing to row them there, as far as i see... To steal a joke used elsewhere, they use trolling motors... X-D Steve Quote
Wout Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 thank you for the nice review. I don't think I buy this set, but it is a nice follow-up for the viking boat. Quote
lham Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Great review, thanks for the detail. The reddish-brown pieces that I have look very much like chocolate to me! So I'm wondering if the new dark-brown is dark-chocolate :) Does that make reddish-brown milk-chocolate?! Quote
Lasse D Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Those pictures in the review have made this set look a lot more appealing in my opinion. It looks like a great set for both parts and playability, and the only thing I dislike is the strange flickr-launch thingie on the front. Quote
illspace Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Viking Ship + Skeleton Ship = This garbage one of the most unoriginal sets i have seen in this line so far. Not trying to be a party pooper Quote
iamded Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Viking Ship + Skeleton Ship = This garbage one of the most unoriginal sets i have seen in this line so far. Not trying to be a party pooper I respect your opinion, but... you lie! :-P (Joking.) Seriously, I can see why you may not like it, it does look similar to the Viking Longboat, but I love that it comes with a new brown hull, and the whole thing just floats my boat. (Heh, 'scuse the pun...) It's longer than the stubby little skeleton's ship, so that's an instant bonus. And the chains, oh the chains, oh so many chains. X-D Another bonus. The giant troll, bonus, all those Orks (or trolls), bonus, gold and green dragon with new head piece, bonus. This set's just a big win. Well, except for the price tag... 8-| ~Peace Quote
Svelte Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 The reddish-brown pieces that I have look very much like chocolate to me! So I'm wondering if the new dark-brown is dark-chocolate :) Does that make reddish-brown milk-chocolate?! I agree - definitely milk chocolate and dark chocolate! Maybe it's Lego cost-cutting exercise... less pigment... more cocoa beans... :-) My Troll Warship arrived yesterday but sadly no extra sail - I think Dr Sinister was just lucky! Quote
ghoulrealm Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 If your'e only going to buy one set of this line, this is the one. It has a troll, orc's armor, two different color orc helmets, a dwarf and (at least for me) the more nautical parts the better. Where is this available so far? Somebody, please tell me when this hits the midwest US. Quote
The Penguin Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Great review, great set! ) *sweet* But.... Why did TLC put a red-bearded dwarf in the set? I mean, we alredy have one in pattle-pack-like-set "Mine Defender", so every dwarf-fan will have many of them! Why not put, say, a black-bearded one? |-/ Quote
Dadster Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Awesome! Thanks for the play-by-play. Too bad some poor schmuck might get a set with only 1 sail... :-/ I didn't expect to see 2 Goblin "leaders" out of 4. Quote

Lt. Col. Thok Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Nice! can the dragon head armour be removed? Quote
lego.ryan Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Oh my lord! This is one of the best recent sets I think. And six trolls? I thought there were four! Can't wait for this! *wub* Also, does anyone know what the U.S. price will be? Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 Nice! can the dragon head armour be removed? No, it's all one piece. Dr. S. Quote
natelite Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 wish TLC had made a new creature instead. I would have liked having a gryphon mount. :-P dragon vs dragon...just reeks too much of D&D. :-P Quote
Vader Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 wish TLC had made a new creature instead. I would have liked having a gryphon mount. :-P dragon vs dragon...just reeks too much of D&D. :-P Well that's true but having picked the set up myself yesterday, i can add that it's a great new dragon to add to the collection *y* Quote
Belloq Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Well that's true but having picked the set up myself yesterday, i can add that it's a great new dragon to add to the collection *y* One question? Anyone in the US get it yet, because, I have someone in Sweden and was wondering if I should get this set now or wait till August to get this set in the States. I was wondering what the price difference is *sceptic* Also, I needed someones opinion on the cost of some sets I'm ordering. I'm gonna buy Vladek's dark Fortress, Dwarves' Mine, Viking Longboat vs Sea serpent, Jabba's sail barge and maybe even The troll warship. Can someone give me general feedback on each set and approximate price and weight estimation? Its a big favor to ask but, please? *wink* Quote
