What KK2 sets do you plan to buy?
That is even if you are going to buy any at all. I want to get a few, just for the armor, which can be recolored, and make a template for the shields. I want to get 8777, and 8778. That is about all. The prices for these sets are HORRIBLE!!! $9 USD for 8777 and $20 USD for 8778! But that is about the best you will get with LEGO nowadays...
I'll probably end up getting them all. Though hopefully at some degree of discount.

I plan on getting the 1 each of castle, the temple, and the Border Encounter and 10 of the smallest Vladek Encounter sets. I plan on getting the Castle and the Temple after
Christmas so I can cash in on the clearances.
I'll buy a couple of the Vladek's periodically over the next 18 months or so.
I don't plan on modifying these at all... I have other plans for these....

Re: What KK2 sets do you plan to buy?
My knee-jerk reaction is that the prices seem horrible. But I looked at a $20 set I really like, 7416 Emperor's Ship, and that's 175 pieces (I actually bought one at full price, something I virtually never do). 8778 is 175 also. It just seems like less since you really don't get a real structure out of it, and only two figs. Piece count or not, it just seems too much money for what you get.Sir Terrance wrote:That is even if you are going to buy any at all.

8777 seems expensive, but when all is said and done with shipping, getting a barding, horse, and two Castle figs both with armor and shields, you aren't going to come away for less than $9. Everyone here is crying for barding and armor, and this has it. Yeah, I wish it was cheaper, but when the first BOGO* 50% off sale or straight 25% sale comes up, I'll be buying some of these.
8779 I won't even consider until it hits 75% off (I still may not get it since I regard it as junk). The two big sets I'll probably wait until I see a really good sale, maybe waiting until big clearance sales.
* BOGO: Buy One Get a second One for X off, for those unfamiliar with the term.

I like the idea of the new horse helmet and I don't own any euro armour yet so it will be good!

I won't buy any of them at full retail price, but I do want to get the cheap one, the bridge one, and the wizard tower one eventually. Possibly in multiples if I can find good deals.
To be honest, I think the new Harry Potter sets look much better than the new Knight's Kingdom sets. I plan to get most of the HP stuff.

I won't buy any at full retail either. Aside from a few parts and some figs, I am not interested in any of the new sets as sets or even as parts packs. The new horse battle helmet and barding are great, the new black soldier helmet is great and the black euro armor is great. Aside from those pieces, which I will probably buy off bricklink, I doubt I will buy any of the larger sets and maybe just a few of the two smaller sets. I spent my budget on brick and plate packs off S@H anyway.

Like Will I shot my Lego wad on old light grey from s@h, so I won't get any of these for some time. When do they come out here in the US? August or something isn't it? I'm sure I will get one or each, except maybe the big ones. I have the ability to give unwanted pieces to my children, who are CFOLs Child Fans Of Lego, duh, they're my kids! We'll see.
