They were very blurry in the first round of photos, but I descried them as "anomolous" in those first pix. These seem much more plain. Odd that they are "easter egged" in this way. I wonder if kajo isn't right. All the same, I would welcome more fantasy creatures. To me it demonstrats that LEGO is getting the message loud and clear; MAKE STUFF WE WILL CRAWL OVER BROKEN GLASS IN THE BUFF TO GET IN LINE TO BUY!

Looks to me that the cart skellies have shadow knight helms. And am I the only who noticed that those aren't just plain ol' viking torsos- fancy new belts! :P

Didn't notice the belts, probably because I don't have good enough eyes. However, I did notice the helms, and am relatively pleased, since the Shadow Knights were one of the few positives I got out of KKII. Good to see that their helms were retained.

It's probably way too early to ask, but I'm curious if there's any info on the new Castle line being wide-release or limited to S&H, LEGO stores, and/or TRU outlets?

I really liked the Viking line but had a harder time physically finding the sets I needed since around here they were only sold at TRU and the LEGO stores, and it would be a shame for consumers if the Castle line goes the "exclusive" (read: limited release) route.

Has anyone heard anything yet about that?

Now that I can see them better, I have to say I really like those trolls. They look like Jabba's palace guards. Too bad they made the giant head so we can't use the helmet in other applications. I like all the 'viking horns' stuck in it. Let's hope these pop up in a second wave of sets.

I dunno, while trolls would be cool, I think these look FAR too Megablocks-y to me, especially their clubs. I like brickbuilt trolls better (ie Brendan's "Last Stand of the Twilight Knights" from CCCIV). The one from the Harry Potter set was alright in look, but it was far too unposable. The whole troll here just looks wrong, not LEGO-y enough for me. It doesn't even look like the head moves.

As for me I am MUCH more excited about that princess and new hair piece!!!

Is it just me, or is there a Viking standing in the mist between the swordsman and knight on the bridge? :shock:

Anyone notice the sailing ship hidden in the fog in the middle of the picture?

To build onto that, is that a viking army in the fog next to Skeleton castle?

I hope that line is continuing now.

I see the Viking, the ship, and the approaching army. I also see a couple of dark figs near the black skellie on the white horse near the bridge. Maybe some evil humans come to join the skellies? Maybe the Vikings come to join the Crown Knights? I can't wait to see. :D

A bit late on the discussion for 2 reasons;

1) I was somehow unable to log-in earlier this week and had to contact the Administrators *ZAP*

2) I had 2 midterms this week. Physical Assessment today. Got a question wrong about auscultating the heart and having a split S2 sound which is bothering me, but now I will never forget it.

The female fig is amazing :shock: I will buy 2 of the "Skeleton Cave" set for just that reason.

The human figs overall look believable, even better than KKI IMHO, and certainly better than FK and DM.

I like the dark blue colour scheme.

Castle looks pretty good for parts except for the "window" piece in the towers (train stuff?).

I will be able to comment on my like/dislike of the skellie horses and figs when in hand.

Very excited about these sets. I am putting away money every 2 weeks for these.
:D


*waiting impatiently to see them available on S@H*

Trolls look good to me, more brikwars beast!

Princess look awesome.

Sail boat...likely to be just picture decorative, or a hint of project in progress

There is this one skeleton holding 2 bladed axe above the bridge?

My wallet... looking bad, need to save up asap ><
