Thats been around for quite some time hasn't it, I doubt they'll ever release it :?

Also what we *want*, and what TLC is going to *make* us it twelve different things.

BTW, remind me to fling some poo at the person who gave TLC the idea for rainbow colored knights..... :x

J/k, Poo flinging is Freak's monkeys job..... :D

Maybe they could reveal that Vladek is a necromacer in the 2005 KK2 sets... :lol:
Not likely, but if the knights journeyed to some dark place, it would be cool for Vladek's Necromancer assistant to show up! :)

Actually, an Undead theme would work for TLC. It would have a more mature feel to it that older builders would probably like, and hacking skeletons with swords would be non-violent enough that it shouldn't attract any unwanted attention.

I heard a rumor that 3 castle lines were designed and tested. KK2 was chosen, but a line targeted at people a year older and another line for people a year younger were supposedly also tested. There's also that test skeleton horse that TLC created, so they have a mold for that already. Maybe we will see an undead theme sometime.

WRT red skeletons, no it's not gore. Sand red, sand green, sand blue, and dark grey skeletons would just look cool for the sake of variety. Ever play any type of RPG on a computer or game console? They often use different colors of skeletons to depict various levels of strength or magic enchantments. Besides, hundreds of plain white skeletons would start to look dull after a while.

The whole point for red skeletons would be so they could turn into a puddle of blood and couldn't be attacked...

I would like to see skeletons in tan, light grey and possibly sand green. I don't need any other colors. I really wish they would start making that horse though...

Just a side note, wasn't the spookier skeleton head first used in the alpha team sets? I think they were used for Ogel's drones.

AFOL and his money are easily parted.

True, Mission Deep Sea used the "scary" head first, but the head only. It wasn't incorporated onto the rest of the skeleton body until the advent of the Orient Expedition the following year.

Red Skeletons... anyone play any of the Castevania games? I hated those stupid skeletons... kill it and poof it returns!... *grumble* Anyway im a supporter of the red skeletons. Although for the most part im happy with the rather evil/scary heads that have come out.
