Color of Arms?

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Does anyone know the color of the Lion Knight battle pack's minifig arms?

Here: The arms are red.

Here, the arms are gray.

Does anyone know the actual color, and has anyone seen if a few packs are still left in stock?

[Combee]

According to the inventory on BrickLink, 3 have gray arms and 2 have red arms.

[SirBlake]

I can confirm this. Just picked this one up last week at my local LEGO Store, and the two archer torsos have red arms, the rest have grey. This is consistent with the minifigs I've gotten in every other set.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Thank you Combee and SirBlake.

Also, I'm going to my local store Thursday, how many packs were left? The inventory could be similar.

where is this at???? I didnt see it at my store is this everywhere?

I'm guessing it's at one of the European LEGO stores given the way the USA store tend to turn over inventory. My definition of turning over inventory in this case is less on the volume side and more on the structure of the tax laws that encourages most retailers to eliminate stock that either under-performing or old. From what I recall of it, the Battlepacks in the USA were Kingdoms wave 1 only, I know I never saw any during the second Wave , though that was a much shortened release.

@natesroom, if you want Kingdoms Minifigures look at the new Kingdoms Chess set, it's a great deal.....

I just looked at it on lego.com. That is a great deal. $50 for 28 minifigs, vs. $45 for 15. (3 battle packs) Hopefully they have the chess set in stores when I go.

I got mine in DFW (near Dallas), Texas. There were two lions, one of which I bought, and 5 or 6 dragons. $15 each.

Chess set is a better deal per fig, but there are tons in that set that I just don't have a use for.

Someone mentioned the figurines in the chess set are from China, and don't show the same quality of parts as the original Waves of castle figs

I think they are. Probably. The Dragon ones look yellowish, just like the battlepack ones. What a rip-off, 50 bucks for minifigs with no extra quality. Still, it is a better deal than the battle packs.

Umm guess what, the minifig packs were made in china as well....

I find that some chinese made 'figs seem pretty obviously of a somewhat more translucent quality than the ABS used in the European 'figs and other are hard to tell apart.

You might want to call your store of choice before you visit if you are going just for either the Battlepacks or the Chess set. My local store hasn't had any Battlepack's approaching in a time frame approaching a year now. They also didn't have any Kingdom's Chess Set's in either.

Umm... I know... I guess I didn't make that clear.

I won't be going just for the chess set/ pack, if they don't have them, I have a plan B and a plan C.

well i was hoping someone could take two photos side by side comparing the two quality Minifigs..

I haven't been able to get many of them so i was thinking of upping my army i need to decide if the quality is there.

That way when im buying them on BL i'll be able to better tell which is the better version if its not listed.

You can see side by side pictures of Dragon knights on page 2 of the Battle Pack review in the index. The Chinese ones appear more yellowish than normal.

Yes!

I'm unsure on what else I could've been meaning.

Hence my confusion as to maybe i was missing something

I was wondering if someone had a photo of the New Chess Set minifigs as Compared to Original Lego ones that are of the Lion Knights.

D'oh! That was confusing!

On the LEGO shop website it shows close up pictures. I think the third picture of the set you can zoom in on shows minifig close ups. They look like the chinese ones. (As they are yellowish.) It makes sense, 28 minifigs would be pretty expensive, so they use the cheap plastic.

I'm not familiar with them, so does that impact the longevity of them?

I'm unsure. I hear the hands grip the weapons looser. But I have some collectible minifigs, which I hear is also cheap plastic. They feel a bit different, but I don't see a major difference.
