You guys (and gals too) probably already know this, but I wanna point the new S@A product, Lego Castle Tic-Tac Toe.

This set strikes me as a good army builder, scince it's about 1.5 Euro a knight. If you want to make armored knights common, this years theme seems to be great. I hope Lego continues this way.

Hm...it's a great idea but I would have preferred generic soldiers rather than the Lead General; I already have him and goodness knows how many Rascus faces. Be good for black armour, however.

This looks like a great army builder, but indeed, one can only have so many generals

If you only had plumes, then it would be a lot easier, but they won't be coming

I dunno, I personaly like the idea of an army of competely armoured knights. Plus, don't forget, they're good for armours decorating a hallway or throne room.

Sweetness. What's the USD price supposed to be?

This set is not available yet in the USA because SAH is trying to clear out the existing tic-tac-toe sets. It will likely cost $20 as the original tic-tac-toe had this price.

Couldn't have said it better myself... but I'll probably still buy at least one of this set (perhaps two?)

Seems to be a better army builder than the chess set, actually.

I plan on getting the 852001 Chess Set for Christmas. $50 for 24 minifigs, including normal soldiers/skeletons.

Debating about this one. It's nice to have more knights but on the other hand, when is enough really enough? I really dun want to out number my infantry units by massing generals, tough call. The deciding factor will definitely be next year's impulse set.........for $5 or less you get a knight fully loaded with a new torso; I really think that beats out 5 knights w/o shields and accessories for $20 + useless skellies. I want variety, impulse set here me comes

You know there was a class of late middle ages foot soldier armored knight equipped with large two handed swords, mostly as a early"tank" for breaking through lanes of pike bearers. The knight in this set could become that infantry figure for lack of a better use (and no shield). I actually prefer this over the joust set only because I feel that the golden horse armor should be more special and limited, while the figure I would like to see in higher amounts. I sure wish LEGO was into minifigure packs of figures and accessories like the old days so massing an army would be less wasteful (i.e. the box and board). I may have to press the tic tac toe and chess boards into castle interior service...

You have a point. Not all armored soldiers were generals. It would actually be cool to have an entire group of completely armored knights.

Ah this set, I asked about this a few days ago. I have another question, does anyone know if the minfigs are normal. As in they are not glued or modified in anyway?

According to the BL poster who bought a set, they're normal minifigs. No glued pieces.
