I have no clue where this photo is taken, but it seems real, and in the open (since it's at some kind of Lego-event I think).
this is what I've been hoping for for years now.

Finally a medieval version of Town Plan. The best castle set in years. I don't like the castle sets that are available, but this... I already know what I want for my birthday next year. Well, if this is a real set, of course.
Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed Nomini Tuo da gloriam.
I'm just gonna let everyone know that the official announcement is to be made by the Ambassadors at 8 pm GMT. I'm not going to go into detail as to how these pictures appeared, and who's fault it is (although I'm going to admit it's mostly TLC's fault for showing the set at an event before the official announcement ). Personally, as an Ambassador all I can say is that it's very frustrating that these leaked pictures appeared only hours before we're about to post the official pictures.
Stay tuned for some great shots of the set, details and all. I'm sure Tony Sava will be in charge of this, as I'm only ambassador for FBTB, but wanted to shed some light on this.

Whose fault? Now hold on a second.
This is the release schedule LEGO intended. They want to show it on the shows first. Duh. If folks were to see pictures of this set on the web before they get to the show, there wouldn't be much of a surprise to them. The official release on the web is set only a couple of hours later. I think we can wait that long.
Also, the only embargo we got from TLC was for the pictures we got from Jan Beyer. THEY should not be released before 8 GMT.
The show pictures can be seen as an appetizer, while the high-res, full-detail pictures we'll see tonight will be the main course.
Another 150 USD gone I'll have to starve if TLG keeps producing great Castle sets. Stop it now !
