UniqueBuilder Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 come on a skellie head with a normal body is plain stupid IMO *wacko* The one in my Castle Magnet set has got yellow hands. :-| Come on, Skeletons don't get yellow hands of wearing a shirt.. :-| Quote
iamded Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I got Skeleton Tower yesterday. Awesomeness, although I thought it came with a treasure chest? There was no trace of one in here. 8-| Oh well, the Tic Tac Toe set looks nice, if you want to bolster your knights. If they sold it in stores I'd get it, I don't buy online (too costly for shipping!) which is a shame, no chess (or, rather, battle-pack) for me. I also picked up a catalogue for free when I got the Skellie Tower. It has the Dwarfs Mining and Skeleton Ship Attack sets shown in it, which is nice, and says Dwarfs Mining comes out in November along with King's Castle Siege. *wacko* To end with, I'll just say I do hope the Tic Tac Toe set isn't glued! :-P Quote
Starwars4J Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I am really disappointed with that !! 15 Quote
Shadows Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Yeah, that's a brilliant little set for the price ... assuming one thing. No glue. I assume the torsos are blank, so we get good armour, helmets with visors, blank torsos and legs, lots of weapons, some skeleton heads for random ground decoration in battles, and whatever face the knights have. I hope the board is unglued as well. That would put this over the top. It sure beats the crap out of the cops and robbers one with a whopping 6 minifigs. Can't wait until it's available! Quote
Vader Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Hmmm it's a damn shame that it's the Good Knight in this set instead of a regular one, then again i guess you could always change the fig head's. The Skellie knight dosen't bother me as i quite like him, however again i don't want of the same. Still it's a good set for anyone wanting more of those fig's. Quote
Piranha Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Just built crossbow attack just some of my thoughts -awesome set!! -I love the figs -The two soldiers are stunning *wub* -The crossbow is sweet but doesn't work too well -The skellie horse is pretty cool -the skellie itself is crap, I hate those arms they only move up and down :-| -9/10 Must buy -Cheap,great pieces and lovely extras Castle ON!!

natelite Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 it's a great set tbh. if you want army, get the chest set. if you want knights, get tictactoe. pity no shields. also, too bad they didn't make the knights with grill helms instead. those could have been use for massive army building (standard cavalry units) and the visor knights can be the elite shock troops. and while i do enjoy the skeleton knight, i kinda hate the cheesy armor printing. it's so stupid. a blank one would have been better.

Shakar Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) it's a great set tbh. if you want army, get the chest set. if you want knights, get tictactoe. pity no shields. also, too bad they didn't make the knights with grill helms instead. Since I only own two of the grill helmet soldiers (one from the Prison Carriage, one from the Skeleton Tower), I use them as the King's bodyguards. I equipped each of them with a dark bley axe and an octagon shaped white and blue striped shield from Vladek's Dark Fortress. In this way: 1)I have 2 spare silver shortswords 2)I have two spare crown shields (one ovoid, one trianglular) 3)I have 2 spare horses for 2 of the knights that I'll aquire with the Tic Tac Toe set 4)The bodyguards look more elite like, with their own special shield design. Since I'll have more of the visor knights with the Tic Tac Toe set, I'll use them as regular cavalrly, using either silver bardings or a normal dark bley saddles. I'll probably give them red triple plumes. The mounted commanders are visor knights with white triple plumes, dark blue capes and gold bardings from the Final Joust. I still have to think about the foot commanders. I'll probably do the same thing: soldiers similar to the ones from the Chess, with a dark blue cape to distinguish them from the regular soldiers. What about those Skeleton Knights? I'll have to think about them too. I don't need spares of them because my own is the supreme general of the Undead army. Some spare black minifig elements, spare armours, spare skellie heads and spare scytche blades don't hurt, however, that's for sure. Shakar Edited August 25, 2007 by Shakar Quote
iamded Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 (edited) My skeleton knight is just a mounted trooper. The wizard doesn't haev his fancy cape any more, as it now belongs to my shadow knight. *skull* Edited August 26, 2007 by iamded Quote
Shakar Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I took the large Castle poster and I circled some things and I added a few notes. Here it is. Due to the PNG conversion the red I used to circle and write became dull, so you may find difficulties in reading some words. I apologize for this, if you have problems feel free to ask me, I'll have no problems in telling you what I wrote. Shakar Quote
alex54 Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 And the "Castle" logo is not the same too... I never noticed the gobelin... Quote
Asuka Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I took the large Castle poster and I circled some things and I added a few notes. Shakar Very interesting, nice work Shakar. *y* Quote
phoinix Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 very nice work shakar.. although you missed one detail! under the "another castle" circle you can see someone holding a double axe!!! Quote
Shakar Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 I did cricle that in the first version, but I forgot to do it in the final version of the image. Could it be a dwarf? Shakar Quote
phoinix Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 I did cricle that in the first version, but I forgot to do it in the final version of the image. Could it be a dwarf?Shakar well i think it is a dwarf! this image is amazing! it has so many secrets and so cleverly made!! Quote
xwingyoda Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 I took the large Castle poster and I circled some things and I added a few notes. Shakar Really cool work there !! Interesting notes !! Its really neat to see all those differences between the prototypes and final products !! I must confess that a lot pof them really escaped me when I first saw that poster !! Tks for sharing ;-) *yoda* Quote
The Kid Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 You also missed the skellie on top of the Prison Carriage (I haven't seen him before?) and the chain maces. :-) Otherwise, some interesting points. TK Quote
Shakar Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 well i think it is a dwarf!this image is amazing! it has so many secrets and so cleverly made!! "Amazing" is the right word. It's a wonderful image, full of secrets and sneak peeks.Really cool work there !! Interesting notes !! Its really neat to see all those differences between the prototypes and final products !! I must confess that a lot pof them really escaped me when I first saw that poster !! Tks for sharing ;-) *yoda* At your service, master *yoda*.You also missed the skellie on top of the Prison Carriage (I haven't seen him before?) and the chain maces. :-)Otherwise, some interesting points. TK Thanks. :-) I did notice the chains on the maces, but, like the dwarf, I forgot to circle them. Regarding the skeleton, I see one with a different face and black body. Are you talking about that minifig?Shakar Quote
The Kid Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Yes, it's a bit blurry, but it could be armour. Not sure though. :-/ TK Quote
iamded Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 The skellie with the black body on top of the Prison Carriage... that's just a normal skellie with the shadow of the other skellie cast on it, giving it that strange look. Quote
Batbrick Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Oh....I thougt it was a new skellie :'-( And yes, iamded, I AM stalking you! >:-) Quote
iamded Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 X-O 8-| :-P I can't wait until the '08 sets come out. I really want better pics of those trolls, I wonder if the faces will be really evil, or more cartoony. :-/ And Dwarfs Mining looks so good, I really want to see what the otrher sets are. Will they be mainly Dwarfs/Trolls, or will they still focus on the Skellies, Crownies? Questions, questions... Quote

By trolls do you m,ean the green minifigs, or the megablocky troll? Either way, I want them to look nasty! iamded, I am STILL stalking you...... Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
