It looks like it's just the tournament set with a kid-sized sword and shield included.

I am sad.

Hmm, I liked the prevous sword and shield that were available at Legoland and the official stores much better. These could be fun, though.

YAY!!!!!
TLC are finally giving us weapons to smite the evil jelly bellies with!

First off this isn't a terrible set if you're a kid. Second, the torunament set sin't taht bad. The horses on wheels isn't a bad idea. I think it's a creative idea. THat's what LEGO is all about. My younger siblings LVOE the horses on wheels.

But I must agree that the previous life sized swords and shields were better.

I hate to admit it, but I have that set . I bought one a local Toys'R'Us about a week ago. The sword and shield are made of foam.

That's certified poop!

Yeah, I saw that at TRU two weeks ago, but you can get that sword and sheild (as well as Jayko's) at any brand store, not to mention some other life-scale accessories.

Let me clarify:

It does look fun for a kid. However, I get the impression that gimmicky non-LEGO stuff like this is part of the reason their financial statements are so bad lately. A giant foam sword certainly isn't one of their core products. It makes me sad to see them continue branching out in such non-LEGO ways.

On the bright side, it is a good deal if you like this sort of thing, for it is the same price as the tournament set without the sword. It is likely to become a semi-rare collector's item like 6099 which is just 6047 with a large plastic cave included.

Heh heh heh...

I had a He-Man sword and sheild just like this when I was younger... that thing got miles and miles of play with both me and my friends (we had some classic duels). Also, it made me love He-Man all the more...

Personally, if I was a kid and got this from my parents, it'd make me jump into KK2 further and further ~

this is just making available to the public that which was only available at the legolands.
I still have an adventurers sword and a wolfpack sword (Ok my son has them.. but I bought them.. their mine I tell you!) from the times we went to legoland CA.
the foam stuff has been around for years and years.
and also for the gimmicky stuff, remember the alien mask? I never got one of those but I wanted one. (they wouldnt fit me so I never got it.) (my head is to big )

Isn't this just some sorta KK2 bashing? Think about what's positive in KK2 instead of just hating it...

my little brothers fight all the time with pillows, plastic swords, anything... this could make it safer for them

I posted some poorly taken pictures of my sword and shield...in my Shadow Knights gallery...and don't any of you ask for the link...
