blueandwhite Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 The Great Joust$49.99 The brave knight is competing with a skeleton warrior in the great joust. Villagers from all across the kingdom have come to see the action, even the king is there! But the skeletons don't play fair, and they have a seige tower hidden behind the stands! Can you stop them? Includes ten spectators, the king, tw0 guards, three skeletons, one armored skeleton, one horse, two skelehorses. Skeleton Outpost $24.99 The skeltons are on top of the outpost tower when they spot the knights! Can the knights stop the evil skeltons, or will the secret catapult get them? You decide! Incudes tower, catapult carrige, four skeletons, two skelehorses, two knights, and one horse. Dragon's treasure $14.99 The knights need to get the dragon's treasure before the skeletons do! But the skeletons are sending some of their own warriors. However, the dragon doesn't want to give up the treasure to either of them! Includes dragon, treasure chest, treasure, two skeltons, two skelehorses, two knights, and two horses. Throne Room Duel $9.99 The king in surprised by the evil wizard. They battle to the end, and you can decide who wins! But beware of the trap door and the skeleton warrior and knight! Includes throne room, wizard, skeleton, human knight. Knights vs. Skeletons $8.99 The armies of the knigdom are in your hands! Includes three knights, three horses, three skeletons, and three skelehorses. Horseman $3.99 The brave knight rides off to start another quest. But look out, there's a skeleton following the knight! Includes horse, knight, and skeleton. I think your pricing is quite optimistic :-D . Heck, in 1984 6021 cost $5.25 for 2 Knights and 2 horses. I very much doubt we'll be seeing six horses and riders for $8.99 in 2008! Also, it would seem that most of your sets are essentially minifig packs. I'm all for new sets for next year, but what do these add to the table? These sets just seem like they are trying to alocate expensive figures or elements (Dragon, King etc.) to lower price figure packs. I'm not sure if this is a direction that LEGO would want to go in.

Hinckley Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 here is my set idea something with ogres I want to know what's up with the ogres that we see in the ads for the new castle line. We've seen the boat which is visible in the shadows. That showed up in the TRU ads, but what about those ogres? I want to know! *sing* >:-( |-/ Quote
vahkimetru Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Here are some newer ideas... Battle for the Fort $79.99 The knights' fort is one of the strongest castles in the kingdom. But can the skeletons' seige tower break the walls? With two trap doors, opening gates, and collapsable walls, this set contains countless adventures! Includes the lead general and his horse, five knights, the black skeleton knight, and three skeletons, plus two skelehorses. Duel at the bridge $59.99 The king and his knights have encountered the evil wizard and his skeletons at the bridge. Both sides are ready for battle, and both need to get to the top if the bridge tower to fly their flag over it and claim the bridge, This set is full of cool features, including a bridge section that can collapse, a mini battering ram for the knights and a cool catapult for the evil skeletons! Includes king, lead gneral, two knights, evil wizard, black skeleton knight, and two skeletons, plus two horses, and two skelehorses! Dragon's cove $29.99 Venture into the dragon's cove! Deep in the depths of this abandoned castle is a dragon and his treasure! The knights and the skeletons both want the treasure, and on their way, they need to watch out for falling bricks, a ghoust, and the dragon itself!

King's Royal Carrige $19.99 The heavily armored royal carrige is on its way to the castle when the skeletons attack! Can the knights stop the skeletons and protect their king?

Asuka Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 A battle scene around a bridge would be really nice, vahkimetru! *y* And your Revolt set is of course a must-buy! :-D Quote
iamded Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) These are all great ideas. The Revolt set sound's great, too bad there isn't a Toys'R'Us in New Zealand. :-P Although the bridge set reminds me too much of Gargoyle Bridge, which wasn't that great IMO. Edited June 12, 2007 by iamded Quote
The Kid Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 What I was trying to say earlier was that they don't need extra tidbits for Castle battle packs. They could just put the figs separately if they wanted. :-) Skeleton Origins - Quote
Athos Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 I hope next year has the humans on the offensive, rather than hold up in their castle under siege. That way we'd get a dwarf or ogre fortress. Steve Quote

vahkimetru Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks Asuka! :-) Here is one Cavalry Attack $14.99 The war chariot is on its way! Driven by two horses, the knights will use this to battle the skeletons in their outpost tower! Includes one knight, one archer, two horses, and two skeletons. These are all great ideas. The Revolt set sound's great, too bad there isn't a TRU in New Zealand. Although the bridge set reminds me too much of Gargoyle Bridge, which wasn't that great IMO. The revolt was a joke. TRU exclusives, save for maybe vikings, tend not to be the best... Quote
Quarryman Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Here is oneCavalry Attack $14.99 The war chariot is on its way! Driven by two horses, the knights will use this to battle the skeletons in their outpost tower! Includes one knight, one archer, two horses, and two skeletons. For some reason I find it easier to picture a skellie chariot than a crownie one, though, a chariot drawn by two skelorses could be cool X-D Quote
iamded Posted June 12, 2007 Author Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) I think the Revolt set would be cool! Seriously, joke set or not, I still think it's neat. Also, to Shakar, in that picture, the circled group on the left could just be Crown Knight reinforcements. The ship I assume we all know about, the set with the wharf and gate and Skellie pirate (yet to be released). The one to the right of the ship I can't really make out, but it could be the King's Castle Siege set. To the right of that I can't make out. And the one at the bottom, a Viking? Or more realistically, a Crownie, with the Skellie's battle-axe for some reason. See? No more mystery. Except for the one on the far right. Although, I could be completely wrong. The one on the right could be a dwarf army coming to battle, then an all new ship, the sail design looks to be different to the one we've seen. Then it could be a Skeleton Fortress/Castle/Stronghold? That'd be neat. Then a group of ogres? Or something? And at the bottom, a Viking. Because that's how they roll. :-D :-P Also, regarding these graveyard set ideas; "The dark sorcery of his lightning staff lets him create Evil Skeletons and control powerful dragons..." On the description of the Wizard. He doesn't raise the dead, he creates them. With magic. Although I'd like to think he could raise the dead, like minions, weaker than summoned skeletons, but still used to bulk his forces. Or somethin' like that. :-P Edited June 12, 2007 by iamded Quote
Shakar Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) I still think that stuff is new. Look at the ship, its shape is completely different that the Skeletons' Ship . The ship uses two hulls instead of one and its sails are different. The guys from the army behind the black skellie certainly aren't Crown Knights, because they wield "oriental pikes". Crown Knights never use that type of weapon, they have spears, broad swords, halberds...the only Crown Knight who wields and "oriental pike" is the knight from Skeletons' Prison Carriage. The guy who emerges from water wields a viking double axe, another weapon Crown Knights never use in the sets. Also, regarding these graveyard set ideas; "The dark sorcery of his lightning staff lets him create Evil Skeletons and control powerful dragons..." On the description of the Wizard. He doesn't raise the dead, he creates them. With magic. Although I'd like to think he could raise the dead, like minions, weaker than summoned skeletons, but still used to bulk his forces. Or somethin' like that. I read that, it's really weird. And on the quote he says "Ha ha ha ha! Rise, my skeletal legions! Obey my commands and conquer the kingdom!

vahkimetru Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Village Invasion $44.99 Watch out! Close your shutters and stay inside! The skeletons are invading the village! The knights are on their way to save them but the skeletons have brought their battering ram to crush the villagers' homes! Inlcudes four skeletons, two skelehorses, battering ram, two knights, three villagers, and a horse. Skeletons Fortress $99.99 The biggest castle in the kingdom is here! Open the gates and look out from the tower, from this castle, you've got a dragons eye view of the kingdom! Includes loads of features-throne room, trap doors, opening drawbridge, and a cool dungeon! Includes five knights, five skeletons, the evil wizard, the lead general, the black skeleton knight, four skelehorses, three horses, and a battering ram for the knights. Quote
Hinckley Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Ohhh, you're soooo biased. *skull* Talking about new factions...scrapped 2007 plans? Teaser for 2008? Shakar yeah, and don't forget about the mountain trolls/ogres. I can't wait to find out where those come from! Quote

Includes five knights, five skeletons, the evil wizard, the lead general, the black skeleton knight, four skelehorses, three horses, and a battering ram for the knights. The Village Invasion sounds great. That would definitely make things interesting. Personally, I think Lego will make some villagers, because it really looks like they're listening to the fans' complaints: with this new line multi coloured knights and weird swords (although they're useful for certain fantasy things) disappeared and the designs of the set, IMO, are a lot better. Plus the price to minifigs count ratio is excellent.Skeletons' Fortress 99.99 Euro From this dark base the Undead legion plots its plans against the kingdom! Will the brave knights sent by the King find out more about the secrets of their enemy, and, most importantly, will they manage to escape from the endless traps and perils the Skeletons' Fortress hides inside its black walls? This set features many traps, a throne room for the King of the Skeletons, a prison tower, a weapons cart for the brave knights, and more! Includes 3 skeletons, 2 black skeletons, the Skeleton Knight*, the Evil Wizard**, the King of the Skeletons***, 4 good knights**** and one horse*****. * the guy from the Joust set, just like the one in my avatar. ** the same Dark Wizard dressed in red and black with Ogel's head we all know and love. *** well, the guy behind everything, even more powerful then the Evil Wizard himself. He would have black arms, white hands, a dark bley torso with a skeleton emblem, a dark bley belt (the piece which attaches to the legs) with a skull printed on it, very similar to the Dark Wizard's belt, black legs with some silver or golden armour printed on it (similar to the samurai legs), a black cape (maybe with a white side) and a white staff, similar to a bone. **** 2 soldiers with neck protector helmet, one soldier with broad brim and one knight ***** white horse with dark blue helmet and dark blue and silver barding.

iamded Posted June 14, 2007 Author Posted June 14, 2007 Very good! And the skeleton overlord would need a super evil skellie head. Hahaha! *skull* Quote
Shakar Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) You mean the white "neo skellie"'s face? Yes, of course. I apologize for forgetting that detail. :-) Oh, he would have a simple crown. Shakar Edited June 14, 2007 by Shakar Quote
iamded Posted June 15, 2007 Author Posted June 15, 2007 Or how about a white Viking helmet (or black, or gold) with red (or gold) horns? Give him a more Skellie feel. Although that would just look weird if you think about it. :-/ Quote
