I'll belive it when I see it. Besides, it gets thinner at the bottom so the lower torso would not be protected. Classic armor isn't that much!

Tee Hee! Very funny TTK. Just had to laugh with the girly laugh. I can do that and feel comfortable with myself. My wife and two kids mean I can pull off many a girly thing and still feel like a manly man. :lol:

I was thinking of trying the white pads with a small red cross sticker and a red cape, perhaps with a silver chrome dragon helmets, I think that might work. When are these available?

Hi Will, they are available now at LEGO Shop at Home. You can find them under the sports category. They are still too new for Bricklink. Give it a month or so and then you might see them popping up.

Its a hockey armor, why should knights wear them?
I'll just buy much KK2 knights and paint their armor black.
Not that I like KK 2, but its a handy way to get armor quick :)

Not if you prepare them in a propper way...

I'll see if I can use them, if I ever come across one.
I'm back, and so is Castle!

Only for so long as you keep them un-brassoed, and only for so long as you INSIST on seeing it that way.

Like all the GOOD Lego pieces, it can be whatever you make it.

They may only be hockey pads, but what about the insectoid/ogle armor, it certainly wasn't designed as a castle piece, nor does it look all that castley all on its own. But with the right helm and accessories, it certainly looks like a castle part. The hockey pads will be the same, it will depend on how you look at it. That said, I will probably bricklink one or two before I decide to buy a set, just in case they can't be convincingly made into a castle part.

I voted maybe, beacause I will do the same then to KKII wich is paint all (not even swords escape, exept Vladek's) and paint gray, or, if I can get one good spray or paint, crome.

You know you're a good person when you see megablocks and have to do things you would rather not.
