Viking Scans and Names
I am so very excited about these! Haven't been this excited about a Lego line, since I saw the Fright Knights sets on a store shelf. Only thing I don't like, like everyone else, is the bionicle monsters. Does anyone know when we'll be seeing these in the stores?
My observations about the sets:
v. Wolf set:
-Nice way to get a fully equiped viking cheap.
-Not real keen on the wolf
v. Kraken set:
-Looks like one of the better ones
-Two vikings, three helmets
-Nice larger boat
-Green snake
-Kraken is a decent monster
v. Midgard Serpent
-Love the long boat
-Possibly the best of the line
-Snake is ok. Better than some of the others
-Tons of shields
-Several vikings
v. Fafner
-Kind of an odd set up for the fortress, is it supposed to be a harbor?
-Lots of shields again
-Several vikings (including a maiden, perhaps? Or is it just Thor of the Chapped Lips?)
-Some euro-armor (on the guy in the left tower)
-Light grey spears
-What the heck is with that monster? Is Fafner Norse for a bunch of left over crap thrown together? (Looks like no dragon I've ever seen)
-Blechy bionicle accents
v. the Nidhogg
-Looks ok
-Can't see the catapult very well
-Don't like the dragon much at all
-He must be very good with that catapult if he's going to bring down a dragon with it
In general:
-Whoo-hoo!
-Love the beards
-Weapons, could be good. Might be too big. Will have to wait and see
-This is a biggie here: the figures look to be generic. None of this same 5 characters in every set nonsense.
-Don't like how the monsters are done, but what can you do?
All in all: my wallet is going to be hurting

YES! That looks great, the beasts look cool, the vikings look cool, and did you see the sheilds? Can someone say new stickers? I am thinking Rohan...

This is the most excited I've been about lego since I first saw Star Wars lego.
I will be definately getting the long boat - AWESOME set! I love the snake monster. Looks like quite a few figs too.
I'm not hating the monsters as much as everyone else seems to, I will hold off final judgement until I see better pics.
I'm just SO glad this didn't turn out to be Jack Stone crap!
Thank you lego!

My feelings about these Viking sets are summed up by all the good things that have been pointed out by you all.
I will get some of the KK2 stuff when it hits the shelves.
I called my kids to come have a look at the photos and my 8 year old son seen the fortress an exclaimed (and I quote), "Knights Kingdom is sooo yesterday!"

If it really is a female, I think TLC will find that these sets have a 'shelf life' of, oh.... 25 seconds or so before they are swept into many AFOLs' collections.

Of course it is. It's more Castle than this crappish KK2-Powerranger stuff. At least there WERE Vikings back then in the Castle times. I don't see there have ever been Powerrangers in history. The Norsemen were part of the mediaeval European history, and a big part they were! Western Europe wouldn't be what it is today without them ransacking half the continent.Then the question arrises, is this castle?
According to Jan Beyer again it will be released about this August.Does someone know of a releas date yet?

This is just the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put.

Isn't that the truth. I mean, I would much rather have a bearded lady from Norway in my lego collection, as opposed to a bunch of effeminate Knights!Jojo wrote:It's more Castle than this crappish KK2-Powerranger stuff.

After reviewing both the new Viking line, and KK2 year 2, all I can say is "Hurray for hairy women! Down with girly jellybean Knights!!"
Oh....my.... oh... I... don't know... what to say...
I am too speechless to talk right now... I don't even know what to post...
