Thoughts of this topic were calling in my brain as I built the Citidel of Orlan...
what is the real use of Fantasy Themes in the Lego Company???
Knights Kingdom 2 isn't the first fantasy theme Lego has put out.
I remember Time Twisters and Time Cruisers, both stinkin' nasty
themes, full of "excess" bricks.
Its like the execs at Lego looked at the molds and said "these parts are
underused, use them in a set".
Today, with Lego's desire to cut costs, more and more pieces from
other themes are ending up in all sets, so Lego is forced to
have more fanstasy themes to use them.
Anyways, that was running through my head as I built.
The use of a Fantasy Theme...

I think the figs are Jackstone size. The box says 4+ and that's where Jackstone figs went last year. I didn't know about these sets at all till now. My 4yr old would love the pirate theme, and I'd rather her have these than Fisher-Price stuff.
As for fantasy themed sets, Lego has over worked the grey matter for KK2. Too much fantasy money was being thought of when they came up with that one. I say listen to the AFOLs, go back to classic castle themes and factions.
