'09 Castle sets at the U.S. Toy Fair

[mrkovach]

I'm thinking that we will be presented with TWO new factions.
I believe I will start a thread on other CC fans on it.

[Sir Dano]

Rather than start a new topic, I'll just add on to this one.

Thank you very much for posting that! From those pictures the sets look more interesting but 100$ for the troll fortress... wow!

Is it a chariot... or is it a horse-pulled steam boat?

[Heir of Black Falcon]

I guess it was not all that far off from what I figured earlier so while I'd have loved it to have been cheaper I am not surprised really. I am surprised with the drawbridge somewhat as I figured it would be a bit less but I guess the minifig count bumped it up. I do think in these pictures the sets all do look to have continued well the 2007 and 2008 lines.

The Gold Knight is AWESEOME! Must get a few… sorry last time I will say it. I think it is great how much detail he has on him. Only wish he had a better shield.

The two troll-trolls in the castle are neat as well with the branding on them and new armour as is the king and witch. I am glad they have shields for the trolls/orcs in every set they are in and in good numbers as well

The drawbridge set looks fantastic, as does the chariot set, though I'm afraid my opinion of the Troll fortress remains low.

[Count Blacktron]

Is it a chariot... or is it a horse-pulled steam boat?

No silly. That's a paddlewheel steamer with a horse bow-mascot.

[Crusader]

While I like the drawbridge, I'm more interested in the Temple of Doom set. It looks like it could be easily made into an ultimate dwaf mine!

[leaf_of_lire]

The only set I'm really excited for is the drawbridge. The troll's castle has too much BURPS for my taste, I may only get it for the figs and it also comes out right by my b-day. The carriage is all-right... but 20$ is too expensive for my taste, but it is nice to see choco-brown spears(or are they just reddish brown?). Not too excited for this year.

[Thor]

Wow...those updated pics are awesome....I will both the Tower and Fortress...I dunno about that Chariot though.

[The Crusader]

these sets will PWN all nOOBs

Another great year of Castle, and to think that just five years ago all we got was KKII! Times change

Now, I will probably concentrate my efforts, and money on the Drawbridge this summer. The fortress looks good but is too expensive for me. And my interest in the troll-faction is'nt that great anyway. The Chariot on the other hand, looks too bulky. Just one horse to pull that great big monster of a thing?!

The drawbridge, then. This I will buy as soon as I can. Not so much for the drawbridge itself, although it is a great model, as for the minifigs. I love that they put so much work into figs these days and I can't wait to see the Queen fig and the Jester in real plastic life! The Knight looks cool too, but it's not the main reason for buying the set.

The fortress looks like a great way to get more big trolls, and the Troll Queen minifig is way cool (as I can attest from having seen her in person at BrickCon).

Thanks Sir Dano for the Photos. Makes my decision easy on what I'll buy when they come out to Australia.

[Count Blacktron]

I need the Troll Witch and Warlord. It's too bad the best faces in the Troll world are in the highest priced set. I hope Bricklink gets a ton.
