February 17, 201411 yr Also the two battle packs have unique figures as how many Lion Knight kings do you need. I suppose you could have multiple Dragon wizards but I wouldn't need them. I only bought the two cheapest Castle 2013 sets myself. Sure, that dragon is neat but I hate the heraldry and simplistic good / evil theme. I hope we get a new Castle reboot or that they just bring back Kingdoms.
February 18, 201411 yr Where are the 480 pieces? It looks like a bunch of big panels to me...and only two measly minifigs...Lego shame on you. I'm still hopeful we'll get a Castle UCS set announced at some stage this year but I won't hold my breath.
February 18, 201411 yr There is a lot of bricks inside youcan see them onthe box. I really want that set for pieces. Love that plate!
February 18, 201411 yr I don't know why people are so disappointed, it's clearly aimed at younger builders, it's like being disappointed that a Duplo grocery store doesn't have the detail of a Modular Building. It's disappointing that they don't seem to have any more advanced Castle buildings this year, but this Juniors set doesn't really deserve any ill will for being what it is. Who announced a castle USC set? I think you just did.
February 18, 201411 yr The castle looks like it uses the same piece and printing from the Juniors Pony Farm. It isn't available on the site yet, even though all the others are. The battle packs are available now, though. When it does become available, I will probably get a couple of these. I have uses for those parts. Edited February 18, 201411 yr by gedren_y
February 18, 201411 yr I think there are three figures. It looks like a king is on the right tower behind the catapult.
February 18, 201411 yr It looks to be the same printing on the arch and the two prison cells as the Juniors Police Station.
February 18, 201411 yr I wish they would print more instead of using stickers on the more advanced sets :(
February 19, 201411 yr I'm hoping that the darker blue parts are not standard blue, but that the lighter blue parts are standard blue. Why? Because of the castle wall turret thingies. It would be good to replace the yellowed ones on that little ship I have, the only previous set with that part in blue.
February 19, 201411 yr Fairly certain that the flags and triangular slopes are blue and the roof and crenellated wall sections are light blue, based on the blur of the shield and figs.

Couldn't even give me 5 minutes of hope, could you. Yes, that already occurred to me, but remember last year we thought from the photos that the dragon knights had pale skin. 1% chance...

February 19, 201411 yr Again, I see no saddle. Looks to be something in the right-hand prison section. A skeleton or ghost perhaps? Looks white.

How can a figure ride a horse without a saddle lol! Must be a poor kingdom :P Edited February 19, 201411 yr by AlphaQuad
February 25, 201411 yr Local Lego store had the Knights and Dragons Accessory Packs out today. Grabbed the Knights because the printing looks sooooo good.
February 25, 201411 yr Local Lego store had the Knights and Dragons Accessory Packs out today. Grabbed the Knights because the printing looks sooooo good. Please do the review and comparison Pack vs Set quality :)
February 26, 201411 yr i got two crion packs today and the quality is the same as the sets! How are the hands?
February 27, 201411 yr The hands feel ever so slightly loose on mine. Just a tad better than CMF quality, but not as good as regular set quality. Who knows how long Lego has had these lined up, so maybe the figures have been holding weapons for some time now. Otherwise, everything else is perfect - the printing is really good. One of the knights has double-sided face printing, while three of the Dragons have double-sided face printing.
