I'm glad LEGO finally has a decent 'motor' for a battle cart/wagon/ect... And good motivation to make the 'motor' run.

Although I suppose the troll looks rather human-like, so it would look bad if the orc was whipping the troll.

I'm just happy that I can finally put to rest my secret longing for those Mega Bloks Dragons sets. It always made me feel so... dirty.

Very good looking offerings with lots of great features on all of the upcoming product. Even the goofy stuff looks fun (so sayth the kid in me).

Maybe they don't need oars, because they have a trolling motor on the back of the boat. Sorry, I know that's really bad.

Hilarious! Lovely design! I'm getting one. Even if the lower half of the troll looks blocky and weak....

No horses this time...

Nice new addition. The Crossbow Attack gets smothered.

LOL to the funny chicken leg and responses about it and trolling motors. =P

@Patron of the LEGO: That's an interesting point I didn't realize. Too bad, really, since I want to increase my measly cavalry regiment of 8.

And only 1 knight! Good point dude!

This is a problem. =/

(EDIT - This is not a problem for me, actually but it may be a problem for younger builders who don't have large collections and may want to improve their military strength. A good soloution to this problem would be to release an impulse set that includes a horse.)

Dwarfs, trolls and goblins don't seem like the horse riding type, do they?

Well not trolls, but Dwarfs ride horses
(at least in various fiction novels they do). Not sure about goblins riding horses but Orc wolf riders would be an amazing impulse set if they ever made it. Actually I can think of many great ideas that would make good Goblin/Orc sets.

They should've made mules for the dwarves to ride (or donkeys, in other applications)...

How about introducing some Wargs, then.

We have a warg, Fenrir from the Viking sets is a warg.
