Optimax X Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I'm gonna get that small catapult and jousting set. Quote
Shakar Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 What I'll get: 7009 - The Final Joust: two or three 7090 - Crossbow Attack: about ten (THIS is an army builder) 7091 - Knights Quote
Privateer Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 These sets look just awesome. I don't know if I'll get the bigger ones, but I will definitely be getting a few multiples of the smaller sets. Also, I'm going to get that maiden somehow, even if I have to go through Bricklink to get her. This is the best castle line in years; thank you LEGO! Quote
Optimax X Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Yes, it is a much better rgane than say, KK. I think this has a stronger future than KK. Hopefully. Touch wood. I actuly think this and mars mission are abit better than bionicle this year, but i will be geting bionicle none the less.

Starwars4J Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I've seen picturs :-D ...of? If you mean the sets, Sam provided us with some nice high-res boxart here ;-) Quote
Optimax X Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Darn! Beaten again! Oh well, they still look really good, can't wait to start my un-dead army. *skull* Quote
SWMAN Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 The High-Res pics look amazing. The castle is actually a castle, not just the front. And, unlike KK, this theme is more classic and focuses on army building with the King's Soldiers, not just four knights. With KK, you couldn't have any battles. It was more for people who liked following the story Lego made up. These sets are just for building up an army and having huge battles, like with classic. Quote
Norrington Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 WOW Thanks for the pictures Sam! Those pics look great! Those sets are amazing! I' going to buy them all! (Hmmm... I think I said those words just before KK came out X-D ) Shakar wrote: {What I'll get: 7009 - The Final Joust: two or three 7090 - Crossbow Attack: about ten (THIS is an army builder) 7091 - Knights Quote
oo7 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Was that really worth editing your original post? Quote

DoubleT Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Enough of this, lets just talk about the great new castle sets okay? Thanks *sweet* Quote
Optimax X Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Enough of this, lets just talk about the great new castle sets okay?Thanks *sweet* Just what i was thinking. The final joust set looks really good, it looks like there is a couple of new weapons in it and new armour for the human horse. Quote
Oliverphoenix Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 These sets and the subtheme as a whole has to be one of the best castle themes Lego have made in a long long time,I just love the fantasy element used here and actual Undead horses is something I've been hoping for to many years to count. All the sets seem pretty buyable in terms of army building with the Crossbow attack set being a set definately worth buying in huge multiples,I usually don't like the big castle sets but even the Kings castle siege set is decent and I definately like the female mini in the Skeleton tower set. Now Vikings are a damn good theme as well but I guess I disliked the lack of opponents the sets had in favour of monsters,I'm just glad Knights Kingdom 2 is over as I detested the line... On a sidenote is the armour decals on the knight in the King's castle siege set different from the armour decals on the knight in the Skeletons prison carriage set?The plate armour looks awesome with what looks like decals on the legs as well...but if you can only get that armour and legs in a most likely Quote

ellerb Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I'm not sure, but I doubt Lego would make two different types of armour for one faction, as awesome this line is. Regarding the armours, I'd like to remind that the skeleton knight in the joust set also has a new armour print. Let's hope all these knights have something worth looking under the armour plate (including the two skeleton knights- one from the joust, the other from the big castle), UNLIKE the KK guys. But since Lego repaired so much of the errors they did with KK, I'm fairly sure that they do have their torsos printed.Shakar LEGO made two bardings for the Black Monarchs (and later Black Knight's). I think it is a nice surprise to see two bardings for one faction. Ben Quote

I think it is a nice surprise to see two bardings for one faction.Ben I thought he was talking about the Euro armours....not?Anyway, I also am happy that there are two different bardings. I see the knight in the joust as the champion knight (gold horse battle helmet, special barding with the crown decorations) , while the other ones (the one in the royal castle and the one from the Skeleton Tower, also count the horse mounted warrior from the Prison Carriage set if you want) are "regular" ones.

Oliverphoenix Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I was talking about the Armour over the barding but I think that pretty much confirms it,if theres 2 different types of barding then there can be 2 different sets of armour...and well you can tell the armour in the Skeleton's prison carriage set has a shield emblem where as the armour in the King's castle siege has decals to make the shoulder amour stand out and look like damn good plate mail. I guess Skeleton tower might have the good armour as well but even so its only in the 2 biggest sets. Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Man, I can't decide what to get! A PSP or that castle! Damn. -ZotS Quote
