Plus: these look like real dragons. Very nice.

Minus: the wings look like MB dragons. Not so nice. Why couldn't TLC create wings made from pieces, rather than juniorize????

Thanks for the pics.

These dragons are so much cooler then the original Viking dragons, they don't look so childish :wink: . These look very fear creating beast(altough for a LEGO citizen). I think they even look better then the original DM dragon.
Thx for sharing the pics!!! :D

*edit*
What is that set actually, never saw that before. I relooked the pictures and I realizd how big these dragons are.

I think these wings work out pretty well considering the size of the beast.

Plus you can use those new Wing pieces as a part of Castles for groups like Dragon Masters and Black Knights.

OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are amazing and MUCH better than the proto-dragons, even though they look like the offpspring of a bionicle beast and a Mega Bloks dragon :wink:

THANK YOU LEGO!!!!

I'm sorry, but this Viking line really doesn't look or sound good to me. The whole fortress seeems to have little depth or feature to it, and the weapons hardly fit in with traditional Lego stuff. At last KK2 used old weapons. I hope this line does well, but I also won't be buying it.

Wow, 7019 changed a lot since the last picture we saw!

I think the new gate is much better, and the name of the set makes sense now.

It also looks like they changed the plates at the base from blue to green.

This is an improvement, but I liked the tower in the back more than the catapult they have now.

They have been going way overboard on funky catapults lately.

I actually liked the giant with the mace much better than this "Krystal Wars" ripoff. Since when did TLC start looking up to Mega BLoks? And I thought it was a fortified harbor, not a goofy Shakespeare's theatre with a big catapult (made for shooting down dragons in mid-flight, no less :roll: )on it. Ugh...
Still looking forward to the line as a whole, though. I hope they don't change the longboat. That would just kill me.

hmm. I think the dragon looks better than that troll thing they had but I wish they didn't put a catapult on the tower.
it also looks like they made a inner wall on the fortress out of gate pieces?

The new fear of the Dragon masters are here!
These beasts will not be as easily tamed as the old ones..Heheh!

Yes, I do like these new dragons and I'm really happy that they got rid of the Bionicle thing in the fortress set, but I can't see the point of yet another catapult.

Does the disigners really think that this is the ONLY action feature that can bring sets alive? I mean, we will even have horse mounted catapults now (KKII:2) that's were they are going over board!

Still looking forward to this viking line. An I too hope they do nothing with the longship, that set was nearly perfection.

Go, dragons! There will be a lot this year':D:'

Well, 7019 has improved alot! I really like the new gate (its nice to see something actually built from bricks for a change), and this does look like a decent way for me to start accumulating some (gasp) new brown :shock: . I really don't care for the dragons, but they are far better than the ones shown in earlier pictures.

I am disappointed that the minifigs don't have the beards shown in the original moc-ups. Also, the armoured figure in the original moc-up is no longer present. Still, this line is 100 x better than KK2, year 2, so I shouldn't complain too much :wink: !

Later.

I think these look pretty good...but (what) i want to point out is that yea, everyone can complain about the way that they look, but that doesn't matter... are we not lego builder and customizers???? can we not take these apart, and make WAY BETTER dragons and beast.... yes we can...are you with me?
