So this set is actually playable?
You're serious?
If so, it's good to know it has a redeeming feature. Not that it matters to me. I dismantle all sets almost immediately these days.

This is what happens when Lego is not easily available in Israel and instead there's masses of clone bricks like Shifty-Brick. *shudders*Webrain wrote:OK I just received my 8779 - yes yes I bought it after everything I ever said about that set.

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

I'm actually gonna hafta agree with the poster above. I know that about 80% of CCers here are lovers of the ancient days and I too enjoyed all of the past sets, well the ones i was old enough to play with.
I however am starting to enjoy the KK2 a bit. Now many people will say they're useless and crappy, but think of it this way. Lego has decided to give Castle another shot, its been about what? 3yrs since the last real Lego Castle series of KK1. They're getting a bit better at it and so we should see whats up.
I for one like the Knights. Santis looks grumpy the way I'd imagine a super strong guy to look like. Danju looks like the Wise-experienced elder. Rascus has that smirk on his face and Jayko, well I just love his helm and I like the blue and his bronze sword.
We just needa see each side and accept everything good and bad, because at least it means Castle is still around. Also I like the octagon shields. Only huge gripe i have with KK2 is the lack of soldiers and just too much knight oriented.

Wake me up when the set is 50% off or greater - maybe I'll think about getting one then. But I do think there will be fans of KK2.

Actually, it is kind of fun and addictive to make the knights crash together. I know that it is a terrible set, should be burned in megablocksland, and has pieces suspiciously sited to building bad catapults. But its got to count for something if you can sit there and launch them together, for, like, an hour.

Hello!

That's exactly the point: It's fun for, like, an hour. And after that hour the knights are supposed to drive home or what? What's a knight worth if he doesn't have a horse? TLC simply overemphasizes the short-term playvalue and their own simplistic story lines rather than to offer figs and parts for free building and playing that's based on the child's (or AFOL's) own imagination.Emperor James wrote:Actually, it is kind of fun and addictive to make the knights crash together.
