Etzel Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Hehe, here's another one that keeps updating the FBTB photostream Quote
UsernameMDM Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 See lots of HP folks I will be using in my new castle set up, especially the new mcgonagall: Quote
metalandi Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Speaking of HP, i just thought about getting the hogwarts castle (which i will get anyway) and modding it to different colors to make it fit to the new castle theme, for example changing the tan bricks to grey ones and make red roofs instead of sand green ones. I think it would look pretty good! I'm getting nervous, no more pictures have been uploaded in the last minutes...i seriously hope he didn't skip the castle theme when taking photos Edited February 15, 2010 by metalandi Quote

I'm sure we'll see the Kingdoms sets soon enough. Quote
metalandi Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Okay, i just saw it goes on now *slowly calming down* I bet kingdoms is next now, since power miners was right besides that at the fair. Finally! Edited February 15, 2010 by metalandi Quote
Etzel Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Looks like a new window piece in this picture (the tower): Clicky! Quote
metalandi Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Nooo, he has no pictures of the inside of the castle, exactly what interested me the most Quote
omega brick Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Can someone be so kind and deeplink a pic or two on the new great helmet? I really can't get see the pics on flickr, the bigger versions just dont want to load. Quote
metalandi Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) No pictures from the back of the outpost set aswell, too bad. Guess we gotta wait a bit more then for interior shots Edited February 15, 2010 by metalandi Quote
Sir Fred Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 That Princess does not want to be seen. Good to get some nice pics of the greathelm though. Quote
metalandi Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) My opinion on the tower just went down hugely. Seeing the back of it, is a big disappointment, since there is no interior AT ALL. Also the prison where the princess is, is totally open at the back. Boo! Seems the princess actually DOES want to be seen: Edited February 15, 2010 by metalandi Quote
blueandwhite Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) The Princess is stunning! I disagree about the tower though. It has a great set of stairs. For a mid-sized set I think people expect too much. I mean, how is this any different from the previous Castle line's tower? Personally my biggest gripe with the tower is that it seems better suited to a faction like the Forestmen than it does for a set of knights. It's a good set IMO.

jonwil Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Wow these are good. I like the new portcullis piece in the castle and tower (in both black and dark bley from the looks of it) And the new great helm. Quote
metalandi Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I'm feeling pretty sad right now, i really liked the look of the tower set, but i just can't imagine why there is NOTHING at all inside it. Why do they fill the hogwarts castle up to the top with fine interior but in this set there is nothing but a plain old treasure chest? I don't get that Quote

I don't get that Probably because Hogwarts costs 2.5x what this does. It's a relatively affordable set with a great set of minifigs. Hogwarts is $129.99 compared to the $49.99 for this one. It's really not comprable. Quote
metalandi Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Yeah, but come on, how much can it cost to put at least a table and a goblet in there somewhere. It's the same like it was with the skeleton tower in 2007, it looked good from the outside, but inside it was empty as a padded cell. Quote
omega brick Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Tnx for the deepies guys! I must say that I'm a little bit disappointed on the great helmet. I'm not joking when I say that I been waiting for a official LEGO great helmet for 25 years now. Now, when it finally arrives it really doesn't live up to my expatiations. I do think that the brickforge version is a much nicer one. Quote
blueandwhite Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 The City Advent Calender is up! If we're lucky maybe there's a shot of the Castle one too. Quote
Jar Jar Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Does anyone know if the Advent Calendar will be available in the USA? Sorry if already asked. Glad to see more princesses (as always). Quote

UsernameMDM Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 MAN! This is going to be an expensive Lego year! Got the kingdoms tag folder open and clicking refresh. Quote
lisqr Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Probably because Hogwarts costs 2.5x what this does. It's a relatively affordable set with a great set of minifigs. Hogwarts is $129.99 compared to the $49.99 for this one. It's really not comprable. Hogwarts costs 2.5X but also has 4 time more pieces. The tower is a bit overpriced with 360 pieces. I guess i'll only get it if there's a big discount. Edited February 15, 2010 by lisqr Quote
