The Middleman Posted July 19, 2005 At last... it is mine. It's more impressive in person... there are 47 there. Those guys in the middle with no shields are my berserkers. Squad one. .. and squad two. Hmm... they need somewhere to live... ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And taller. ;) PS - the sets that got me these Vikings were: 2x Fortress 3x Longboat 6x Boat 2x Wolf Still looking for a catapult or two, if anyone in Europe can hook me up.

OMG, Bloody_Jay, where did you get that amount of money to buy all these sets? I'm jealous of you. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted July 19, 2005 Yeah, how much did all this cost? It looks like an impressive collection... And this is just the beginning! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted July 19, 2005 Yeah, how much did all this cost?It looks like an impressive collection... And this is just the beginning! A good $500, including shipping (I'd been planning on buying that many Vikings since I saw the first pictures, so I saved), but I'm getting $22 refunded to me, since she forgot to pack 2 of the small boats I ordered. C'mon, Phes, you must've spent at least that much on Pirates. Five ships alone would do that! Speaking of ships, you might be interested to know that the Viking drakkar uses the exact same midsection piece as the pirate ships, three of them per set.

Mister Phes Posted July 19, 2005 I could get 10-12 Pirate ships for that... Now I've learn the stupidity of eBay users... Last ship I got was another Imperial Flagship for around US$37.35. But do elaborate upon the Viking drakkar using the exact same midsection piece as the pirate ships... Will you be taking pictures later? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted July 19, 2005 How many pieces does this Viking vessel possess? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted July 19, 2005 How many pieces does this Viking vessel possess? Three of the hull midsection and two of the endpieces. It might be an interesting experiment to try and mix the hulls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted July 19, 2005 Yes... You must do it... And take pictures.... Glorious pictures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted July 19, 2005 Yes... You must do it... And take pictures.... Glorious pictures! Unfortunately, the hull to my Red Beard Runner (my one and only pirate ship) was mauled by my old dog. Old as in, she didn't last long after she chewed up my LEGOs. (just kidding - she found a new home after she chewed up my leg, which was soon after the LEGOs) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted July 19, 2005 Have the Viking sets appeared on Peeron yet? I was gonna check that they use the exact same hulls as the old Pirate ships. They might have make some tweaks to them over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They might have make some tweaks to them over the years. No, and I've decided not to inventory them. I don't think they tweaked them - same gaps in the bottom for connections and everything.

Dr Lucky Posted July 21, 2005 I don't have all that much to add to the topic, but this seemed the best place to post this... My Vikings came today!!! Of course, I only got about half as many, but I'm still super happy. I got 1 Fortress, 1 Longboat, 2 Small Boats, and 3 Wolf sets, but they are so cool. I haven't even started to build the Fortress yet. It's like Christmas... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Btw, 7017 catapult has arrived in Singapore today. I'll go to buy it tomorrow. Hurray . . . . . . . :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
