I was just about to suggest this, much faster than digging through 20 or so pages. I like that joust set, and the Wagon, but not much else jumps out at me.

Are the helms in the catapult the flat silver we've seen in Bionicle and Viking swords? I think Bricklink lists it as 'pearl silver.'

A great idea to gather the bits and pieces like this.

There isn't much else that hasn't already been said, but I can certainly tell my wallet that there wont be much in it by the end of the year.

Also, did anyone see the skeleknight in Final Joust has Vladek's armor?

I suppose he must have rotted away in the Mistlands Tower!

There is nothing I can say that expresses how I feel about this new line. It is just too perfect.

Although, as I have mentioned before, this castle line does not quite reach the height of LEGO castle, it is definitely on the right track. I have to say though, that the Skeleton Tower looks to be a hack job on what could have been a really good set. If I get it, I will almost certainly modify it to get rid of the juniorized look.

I'm kinda in love with the final Joust. I just love the barding.. and its great to see a good Blue/Dark Blue emblem. Not to mention the shield looks very cool to me.

I see lots of final jousts and crossbow attacks in my future. Especially jousts. For the helmet piece.

But look, its perfect! Skeleton horses in both, cool knight in one, and two nicely-armed footsoldiers.

Perhaps the other three when more money rolls around, probobly more than one catapult set.

When was the last time lego included so much for only 7.99??

I still love those gradient BURPS on th castle...bog scenery here I come.

I'm going to reserve my judgement until I have the actual sets in my hands. Getting worked up about prototype images can be hazardous to your health.

toywiz has the new castle sets' names out. not sure about price point since some people said they mark up aggressively.

Lego Castle Set Knight's Catapult Defense #7091

I have no idea if this is all the sets and if the prices are real. I surf around, find info and bring it over to my homies at Classic-Castle Cool

I am stoked!

This probably means something along these lines:

7090 = Same price as Fenris wolf set
7009 = same price as small viking longboat set
7091 = same price as Mathias' siege tower
7092 = same price as Viking artillery (the one with 7 figs)
7093 = same price as Viking ship
7094 = same price as exoforce base.

Good point lord of the lego. I just hope some guys from lego are reading this with a relaxed pleased smile that they made us all this happy, and decide to say "to heck with it, we'll leave them this way"

Here's hoping we get some torsos with the shield emblem on them. I'm always happy to have mail torsos, but i really love the ones that show a faction's crest on them. Just looks cool when you have a bunch of those lined up.

Aye, remember the disappointment a lot of people felt at the final Vikings sets.

I'm hoping for around a 50/50 mix to be honest. Mail torsos are very useful everywhere, but faction torsos look very very cool in context.
