And that is good enough for me.

Hey all,

Just a quick update. I don't know if we've gotten any official notice that these are real yet, but it looks like Starwarsmaniak has a new (Czech? Polish?) 2007 catalog with this pic:

I´m no expert but that looks like Polish to me... wonder why they have gotten a catalogue already though?

I love how you can see skeletons and knights leaping to their doom into the chasm.

That sword looks a bit chrome-y. The flail down at the front also looks to be made of chain and not just a single piece.

If you look at the Star Wars page, in the same gallery, the AT-ST driver is different from the one in the official set. No glasses. I wonder how accurate that picture is?

It's hard to tell, but the barding looks different! I think it has the same crown on it now that is on the shields.

I'm getting in late on this one (just got back from Christmas break) and WOW! Man that stuff looks great. I'm not that keen on a completely skeleton faction, but the new skeletons look very cool. I dig the droid arms too.

I don't have anything really pertinent to add, but to all the ambassadors, tell TLG that they're doing great. I'm already saving money.

Hmm, I think the chromy look of the sword would be similar to the new pearlized grill helms. Not the best but at least we get our swords back!

Well, I guess if it's published, we know that this new line of Lego is one step closer to being on the shelves!

we have pictures of 5 boxes.

we have a picture of the "complete" line.

in the picture of the complete line there is a black horse. this black horse does not appear on any of the 5 boxes.

let's hope the missing set(s) is a good one!

Get's bette and better. I'll be "pigging out" on these sets, in my best attempts not to make the mistake of taking these for granted, then turning around and having them become priceless.

Anyone have any info on pricing yet? Hope it's not through the roof.

The flail down at the front also looks to be made of chain and not just a single piece.

That's a fake one, photoshopped for advertizement effect.

Finally, Finally I can amass skeletol armies.

Don't worry about the old skelies becoming obsolete, they can become slaves and frontline troops!

Hurray!!! New Castle!!!

I really hope that the flails have proper chain links. That would be a coolness factor not seen since the dragon knight plumes.

Speaking of plumes I REALLY hope we get them for the visored knight (and I REALLY REALLY hope that we get the visor that we've seen in pics).

I'm right with ya, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I heard at NWBrickCon that sales of bigger sets drop dramatically (and therefore profits go down) when LEGO releases minifig-only sets. Steve Witt from LEGO told us this in reference to the old Star Wars three-packs (the ones with stands).

Oh no, World of Warcraft LEGO!

That was my first thought...

It actually looks alright though. The skeletons/undead or whatever are pretty cool.
