August 20, 201311 yr These sets are on S@H so I ordered the castle and forest ambush ahead of retail availability, they turned up yesterday and the boxes were damaged, one was pretty badly squashed. What was it, an eBay transaction?! Not the type of thing you anticipate from TLG. They were all still sealed, but now I'm less likely to want to use S@H next time for gifts... Can't wait until I've got some room to put these sets up. I hope to get the Kingdoms out too, but I'll have to rearrange the shelves, pack up the Star Wars and... work miracles I think.
August 30, 201311 yr I bought my first set's in a while after visiting the LEGO store in DTD on honeymoon. I got the Ambush and Gatehouse sets. I prefer the colour schemes to the previous Kingdoms line, but the builds themselves seem a bit more "child-friendly". I hope they continue the line though, as I missed out on the farm set, and would hope another version is released.
August 31, 201311 yr I am optimistic that we might get another wave. We may have to wait till summer though since nothing was mentioned about a castle wave for the winter releases of sets. If sales of these series is good then we may but that depends on what plans lego has.
September 1, 201311 yr Completed the collection by just getting the Gold Getaway. The carriage is very good, I don't see the point of the flick missile crossbow thing but the outpost is ok. Overall I think this theme so good I had to buy them all. Its a shame that the carriage and the cataputs don't fit through the Gatehouse though. Edited September 1, 201311 yr by Leoman
September 10, 201311 yr I hope they make more Castle- sets in 2014. Cause its not that they have made so many for this year I hope they make more Castle- sets in 2014. Cause its not that they have made so many for this year
September 11, 201311 yr There are a short animation series for castle on Lego Youtube: Looks pretty fun!
September 11, 201311 yr Haha. Interesting to see recoloured Kingdoms sets, and some vintage stuff in there too. She made the right choice in the end too
September 11, 201311 yr Nice. Three chapters so far, and clearly intending more. Good sign that they're generating interest for another wave?
September 11, 201311 yr That's really cool. I like that the princess recognizes the knight's arrogance. And the shot of her with the dragon pennant is awesome! Edited September 11, 201311 yr by 8BrickMario
September 12, 201311 yr Quite nice but seeing the castley bit from Kingdoms Joust redecked in new Castle blue is a bit off-putting! After watching all 3 chapters so far I'm suspecting the Princess is going to be changing her mind about our hero by the end of the series.
September 12, 201311 yr I can't wait to see the resolution! And find out what happened to the king. I do hope the knight gets a happy ending.
September 15, 201311 yr Quite nice but seeing the castley bit from Kingdoms Joust redecked in new Castle blue is a bit off-putting! I actually think that recolouring was quite spectacular, much better looking than the original. I'd like to see it released.
September 16, 201311 yr Those are great, and must have taken quite a bit of work. Nice to see some of the older sets in their as well.
September 16, 201311 yr I like the animation you made. It makes the sets pop and makes me want to get more.
September 18, 201311 yr did i look right on Lego HP ? No castle advent calender this year? Nope, which is pretty strange. But there are already three new Advents on the market this year, so I understand.
September 18, 201311 yr Kingdoms had an advent calendar in its first year Fantasy era castle had it in its second year; I strongly hope that will happen for this new line too.
September 18, 201311 yr Kingdoms had an advent calendar in its first year Fantasy era castle had it in its second year; I strongly hope that will happen for this new line too. I think the third Advent Calendar slot has been taken up by Friends for last year and this year.
September 19, 201311 yr I like the animation you made. It makes the sets pop and makes me want to get more. Yes, LEGO really did a great job. If they want people to be more interested in their sets, then it works (for me)!
September 19, 201311 yr I think the third Advent Calendar slot has been taken up by Friends for last year and this year. That's the main problem. If Friends and Star Wars calendars are selling big digits, and considering City as "granted", chances for a Castle AC are low.
September 19, 201311 yr Actualy I find the new City calendar very usefull for castle. So much food, dalmatian, santa beard/sack SO MANY SPARES!
September 19, 201311 yr I would think that the friends theme took preference over the castle advent calendar being made. Having four advent calenders may have been too much at one time.
