Hey Thanks! I am looking forward to the PaB wall though (perhaps even moreso than the sets) because I have the op for a LEGO store like once a year!JPinoy wrote:The Kingdoms sets arrived in some LEGO Stores (like mines in NJ) on May 17th, nearly 2 weeks ago. The battlepacks and the foam weapons arrived on the 19th.Blego7 wrote:I just managed to stop in at TRU today but because of their INFLATED prices I didn't purchase any CK sets. However I am waiting for them to pop onto Amazon for some free shipping. Does anyone know if they have started appearing in LEGO stores, or the new minifigures? I am going to a store this weekend and I want to know if I should bring some extra money for them. Thanks,
You might wanna check your local LEGO Store sometime... Aside from Kingdoms, new sets for Power Miners, Space Police 3, City, and World Racers arrived. aka "parts themes" for your Castle collection.

Re: Pink Knights?
So far from what I have opened, if the box-top shows contents made in China then you have figures with good coloration. If the country "China" is left out, then you get pink.

Re: Pink Knights?
After opening my copy of "Knights Showdown", I took a look at the checkered torso of the Lion Knight, and what do I know! A pinkish hue. Personally I like it.

Re: Pink Knights?
That's really unfortunate as it seems that both the bardings suffer from poor paint application. I really wish somebody at QC had stepped in to fix this situation. I would rather have figures with no back printing if LEGO is going to go on the cheap for paint when doing double-sided figs. Back printing is a nice bonus, but quality paint aps are an absolute must.Count Blacktron wrote:So far from what I have opened, if the box-top shows contents made in China then you have figures with good coloration.

Re: Pink Knights?
Blueandwhite makes an excellent point. I'd rather my bardings came new out of the box with two broken clips than shoddy printing.

Trust me, I think I'm funnier than you do.
Why do I have to add the word "minifig" to my spell checker every time I use it?!

Re: Pink Knights?
Sad to report that my Knights' Showdown had a pink knight.

Re: Pink Knights?
I picked up Knight's Showdown yesterday and it had a Pink Lion.
I also bought the Jester and he wasn't pink. Not sure if anyone has gotten a pink Jester, but I'm just saying.
Later,
Josh

Re: Pink Knights?
My Jester was nice and white. You can really see the pink knight's pinkness if you put white legs on him.JoshWedin wrote:I picked up Knight's Showdown yesterday and it had a Pink Lion.

Re: Pink Knights?
And with three reports of pink knights in a row, I think it's safe to say that maybe every single knight has pink printing.
Unless, someone says they have a perfectly fine white knight. I'm definitely buying the Jester, but not any knights. I'll wait 'till July or even August just to hope it's a "bad batch".
Why, Lego, why?
EDIT: Is there anyway we could possibly talk to someone from the TLG, like Steve Witt to get this problem fixed? Sorry, I don't really know much about AFOL interaction with TLG, but I think maybe we should do something about this.

Oh man I want me some pink knights!
Does anyone have more pics? How does it look with pink pieces?

Your friendly neighborhood ambassador has already passed this information to Steve Witt and LEGO. I will post an update once we hear back from the LEGO Quality departments.
