Toys 'R' Us is handing out flyers showing all the TRU exclusives coming out for the rest of the year.

I wonder if there is some way to interlock that wall section onto the big castle. That would be a neat way to expand the size of the castle.

My only complaint is that it looks like there is only half a ship. Other than that, this set is looking great. It looks like this set crosses over a bit with pirates.

That's really quite beautiful, IMHO. I like the design of the ship... but I'll need at least two of this set to create a black Viking ship.

Definitely multiple purchase material!!

Fort looks good. I'm especially keen on that shed/shanty thing on the right side. Sadly it comes with another stupid catapult and I'm getting quite sick of those gate pieces. I wonder what's in that treasure chest.

The boat looks like a cross between the durmstrang ship and half of the viking longship. I'm not sure I like it.

IN my opinion this is like the other battle of the sea set but improved! From quivers to good fun design, this set only makes me yearn to get castle 2007. The only downside... more chores

Do you realise that the black pirate hat without the skull a rare pirate piece is? It came with only 1 set.

Looks very good!

Anyone know if the shields are stickers?

Yes, the return of the plain bicorne hat is ground for celebration, and so is the anchor and the ships wheel!

Two sets.

and

Anyway, this looks REALLY nice. It's nice to see a good boat in the castle line again. Now I have something to put my Navy up against. >:3

If it weren't for *another* catapault, and "hiding" the treasure in the front of the blamed thing, I would like this considerably more. That black Viking longboat piece looks pretty cool. Also, if that piece is kinda rare, does that mean it would sell for more on Bricklink? I have three or four. Man though, why would a skeleton have a beard? He's *dead*! If he doesn't even have *flesh*, then why would he have a beard? But on the other hand... gray beard! Yay!

A Castle ship afterall! yet another set to purchase

DNL · Post by **DNL** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 4:20 pm

it doesn't really look like the boat at the background of the catalog picture,
so maybe there will be another 'good' ship in 2008?

This looks like another great set. The ship is very good, and the wall section is great for expanding the castle. Overall, another great set, and I hope to get it.
