Maybe we will get a prince before the line ends? I might just have to get two of these, if I can.
As for this set, oh sweet merciful bricks i wish i knew a guy in california... with the knight being made of pearl gold i have to wonder how durable he is though

Re: 7079 Drawbridge Defense Review (eurobricks)
I found this set at Toys r Us in Ohio this weekend. Easy build, and very easily replaces the small drawbridge that came with King's Castle Seige. Makes the castle look a lot better.
Re: 7079 Drawbridge Defense Review (eurobricks)
Of course!
Does anyone have any pictures of this drawbridge attached to the front of the King's Castle? That has to look awesome

Not the best picture, but you get the idea. I have the tower from the tower raid modified and added to the left hand side of the castle also.

Re: 7079 Drawbridge Defense Review (eurobricks)
Very neat Satas. Looks like the drawbridge defence fits in nicely. I think if I get multiples I may try something like that but I rather like the idea of an independent tower with drawbridge. A place for another knight to live or something.

Re: 7079 Drawbridge Defense Review (eurobricks)
The drawbridge looks like it fits in very well. I really didn't like the original gate for KCS anyway.
Even though every set is a must have, I will be needing this for the great figures it contains.

Re: 7079 Drawbridge Defense Review (eurobricks)
I picked up two sets for building and my Castle MISB collection (they so pretty ) and I'll likely try to get a few more once TRU does the BOGO sales again. So I got it on Thursday and built it Friday and it is every bit as good as the gate house section of King's Castle Siege I feel. Probably better actually with fewer large pieces shortcutting the build except the burps. My set had only one problem; the factory packed me two Queen heads and no Jester head in the set I've opened. While that's not really bad as LEGO will replace the missing head* and I wind up with an extra two-sided mad-chick, I was REALLY looking forward to the happy/sad Jester and have to wonder how many other sets got mis-bagged heads. So I feel obligated to check the contents of my MISB set... which means I'll have to buy another... which I had already planned to do.

Re: 7079 Drawbridge Defense Review (eurobricks)
Very cool review... I've liked the look of this set since I first saw the pictures on flickr, and have been planing on getting it when it came out. Though I thought it was coming out in August, so I was very surprised to discover it on the shelf at my first Lego store visit ever (vacationing in Colorado last week). I had to buy it...
I for one am glad it has the skeletons as the evil faction in this set. I'm just getting back into legos (mostly castle so far), and I managed to miss all the sets that had the skeleton horses in them, so this was a great addition from my perspective.
FYI @ Count Blacktron - I got the correct heads in my set (one queen, one jester).

Re: 7079 Drawbridge Defense Review (eurobricks)
The copy I bought contained the correct heads.
It's a nice set and I think it's worth the $40. Pretty much all the parts will be useful for any castle builder - lots of bley slopes, arches, and bricks, large dark green and reddish brown plates, and a modest pile of dark bley cheese. I also like the dark blue plates, and the three exclusive figs are a real bonus. And only four POOPs in the whole set! (two BURPs and two turrets) I would have preferred trolls as well but I'm guessing skeltons allowed the higher fig count, and with the coming troll battle-pack we'll all have an easy way to get more trolls anyways.

Re: 7079 Drawbridge Defense Review (eurobricks)
While my Jester awaits his sex change, he's a grumpy "queen" in red & blue. All he does is go around knocking skeletons down and tripping knights. He's just a little miffed too with that chin mole.
