Governor Mister Phes Posted May 10, 2006 Governor Posted May 10, 2006 Ok, first up I'll mention I'm not sure if these images are new but they don't look familiar to me and I'm sure they haven't been discussed here. They're from the 2006 Toyfair so they must be very recent... Go, look, report back... Quote
Sir Dillon Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Thanks for the link, Phes! :-) I know we've seen toyfair pictures, but I don't know about these. Would anyone happen to know when these are coming out to non Lego stores? Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 10, 2006 Author Governor Posted May 10, 2006 Does this mean you're considering to buy some of these sets Sir Dillion? Quote
Zane Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I think we already have a topic discussing Lar's images. Oh well. Might get Mistlands Tower if I have the money..... -Tilius- Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 10, 2006 Author Governor Posted May 10, 2006 What was the name of that topic? Could you provide a link? Quote
gusmoore17 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Again, I'm standing in front of the canyon to defend these sets: the archs at the sides of the Tower look really great, also it can be seen that you can remove the front gate if you're not using it, also the colors dark green and the newy grays look fantastic, also the Gargoyle Bridge has many functions and doesn't look that weird. The Royal ship looks great with that dragon wings but I totally disagree with the mini tower you get with it. The minifigs are excellent, the best we are gonna see from this collection and, well, I am getting this!! However, what happened to Battle at the Pass?? Is it gonna be another megablocking TRU exclusive?? *sweet* Oh, and thanks Mr Phes for the new images, they are excellent!! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 10, 2006 Author Governor Posted May 10, 2006 I just stumbled across the gallery so I thought it was my duty to share with everyone... I'd say the sets are better than past Knights Kingdom effort, but I still stand by my statement they look they're using Fright Knight architecture and therefore have quite a way to go to live up to Classic Castle standards...

Mithrandir Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 The figs and armour are the shizzle. I miss the 90's pointed nose helm though :( I only had 1 as a kid and I lost it, heh. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 10, 2006 Author Governor Posted May 10, 2006 You miss this? Does it make you feel nostalgic! Does it bring you back warm tingly feelings of the past? To be honest I miss a lot more than just this... Quote
natelite Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 yeah i agree. the pointed nose visor is the best knight's visor ever made. a close second is the grilled helm. Quote
natelite Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 holy cow. did anyone else look at the fine print? i noticed on each of the tags that the invoice price vs msrp is 38%. that's quite a huge margin. i guess that's why most TRU sales offered 20-25% dc. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 10, 2006 Author Governor Posted May 10, 2006 Mr Natelite dude it would be good if you could use the Edit button and add to your previous post rather than adding a second short post. Also would it be possible if you could spell out words like "Discount" and I have no idea what MSRP stands for? My best guess is Main Stream Retail Price? Quote
Sir Dillon Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Does this mean you're considering to buy some of these sets Sir Dillion? Yes, I was planning on getting at least one of them once they come out. After looking them over again, I think I'll get the small boat set first, and then wait for the Battle at the Pass set. Quote
Zane Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 You miss this? Does it make you feel nostalgic! Does it bring you back warm tingly feelings of the past? To be honest I miss a lot more than just this... Isn't that piece on one of the figures in these sets? Sir Kentis, I think. Quote
natelite Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 MSRP = manufacturer's suggested retail price. my guess is you never bought a car before. invoice price is what a distributor or a retailer is charged by the manufacturer. sometimes the cost is even lower than invoice due to kickbacks and other sale promotion which gives retailer's credits for achieving certain sales targets. popular abbreviations aren't really that difficult to find out. Even dc. google and wikipedia sure made a lot of things simple for the average joe like myself. Quote

Even dc. google and wikipedia sure made a lot of things simple for the average joe like myself. No, popular abbreviation aren't difficult to find but when I read posts at 2AM in the morning I don't want to spend half an hour researching accronyms so I can understand what the poster is attempting to communicate. Bare in mind we're not selling cars here we're discussing LEGO and MSRP isn't a universal accronym found everywhere. We have a thread with list of popular LEGO related abbreviations at Eurobricks and DC doesn't seem to be in there. Fair enough MSRP is abbreviated but abbreviating DC seems a bit slack to me. Look at the Google search results and the Wikipedia search results. Neither provides an explaination to DC nor is it something I want to sift through at 2AM in the morning... Quote
natelite Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 it's not something i want to argue with you about. if 2am is your issue, that's your timing and not abbreviation that is at fault. this is hardly a english literature forum so having abbreviations is not a crime. it's not like i deliberately made it hard for the "average" joe to read. suggestion: don't read a leisure forum at 2am. it's not like it's an exam paper you have to hand in tomorrow at 8am. the fact that MSRP was used in the label suggested that it was a universal accronym and not confined to car retailing as per your wording. yes it was used by retailers to sell lego. we are discussing lego here. it's not something i invented. no need to be rude to me about it.

Governor Mister Phes Posted May 11, 2006 Author Governor Posted May 11, 2006 My sentence was "Also would it be possible if you could spell out words like "Discount" and I have no idea what MSRP stands for? My best guess is Main Stream Retail Price?" I'm not being rude to you Mr Natelite, I just asked you to spell out words like DC and what MSRP meant... I also said MSRP was fair enough in abbreviated form and was merely asking what it meant, not that you should never use it. But you kept pushing! So you're the one being the rude telling me not to read a leisure forum at 2AM and to look up "DC" in Google and Wikipedia when the definition isn't even there. My time is limited so I read and post whenever I get a spare moment and if that's at 2AM then so be it. I don't know about you, but I ensure this "leisure forum" remains popular and alive.... Now, what were we talking about? Ah yes... Knights Kingdom II year 3 images... Lets get back to that... Quote
Sir Dillon Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Here's another link for KK2.3 pics. Enjoy *y* ! Thanks for the link Khorne! I've never seen those pics before, and there's some great shots of the minifigs. *wub* Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted May 15, 2006 Author Governor Posted May 15, 2006 Now that Armada Yoda has vitoed the other thread (isn't he mean :-D ) continue the discussion of the new picture provided by Mr Khorne and Mr Gusmoore in this thread! Quote
