10193 Medieval Market Village

[KimT]

It would be nice if Lego had this for sale in time for Christmas.

Agreed.

But it looks like they're keeping it until January.

Perhaps they know that AFOLs will buy this whenever it's released and thus it's better getting the wifes (or husbands) to get them other sets for x-mas. That makes 2 sets sold instead of one.

I can't wait for this set and I'd hoped that I could persuade my mother-in-law to get it for me as an x-mas present.

I guess that's not going to happen now.

[Admiral Blockbeard]

Why not just ask for it as a belated Christmas present? That is what I Have done.

Can not wait to have it in my hands?

What can I say is the most funny thing - two brown carrots used as a shit in a horse stables (official instructions show it)

That's pretty awesome.. in the Indy sets they use brown carrots as torches

[KimT]

I'd rather not own a horse that craps carrot shaped dung.

That's not right, not even if the horse is LEGO.

Why? I'm no horse expert myself but I don't see a problem with the dung's shape.

[Pencoin]

Brown salami would have been nicer though.

When will this set be in stores?

[AFOL SF]

When will this set be in stores?

I'm able to get a hold of the January 2009 store calendar and the week starting Jan 11th, the Medieval Market Village is featured. Caption says, "get the new exclusive Medieval Market Village now! Item 10193 available exclusively in the LEGO stores, LEGO catalog and online at www.LEGOshop.com. See it built in the LEGO store gallery."

So to answer your question, in less than a month's time.

On another note, Friday - Jan 2nd shows that new 2009 Lego themes and sets will be available. Pictured is the new Power Miner.

It won't be, you can only get it from S@H or the (rare) LEGO stores.

[Jlblue]

This set is beyond awesomeness. Honestly it would perfectly complement a nice castle by surrounding it. I suppose I'm lucky I live right near a Lego store.

I can't wait to get this set.

I'm thinking of getting 2 and i've never done that before.

Roll on January. :skull:

[Holodoc]

I'm thinking of getting 2 and i've never done that before.

Then it´s time to start buying that way!

There are a lot of sets worth buying two copies!

[Dadster]

There are folks out there who buy 2 (and sometimes more...) copies of every set - or every set within a theme, then simply stick one in a box, locked away in storage.

I know I'll be there on Day 1 of the available purchase day!

Thanks for the heads-up on the date. I've been wondering when the official release date would be. But I do wonder if they will jump the date and go on sale earlier, like the Pirate sets seemed to.

[Nikola Bathory]

This is a great set!

As I already said somewhere here - best LEGO Castle set since the mid-90's!!!

I suppose you could collect lego and never open it as an investment. Me i open it , sling the box and get building.

I'll be joining you on the first day as well.

Yeah - hindsight is 20/20. Especially if I'd saved a slew of the original SW releases... I can't stand to have stuff sit around though.

[GloriusShadow]

Ghaaah..gah..*faints*

Okay Ive drooled over this since the first day it was posted on internet.

Its one of the best sets ever!

Whooooohoooo!

[Dadster]

You know what stinks? I was in the "local" Lego store yesterday and inquired about the Marketplace set coming in Jan.

Store Employee: What Marketplace set?

Me: Um - the new Medieval Marketplace set from the Castle theme.

Store Employee: Sorry, I don't know anything about it.

I wish a store that specialized in a single product would hire employees that might keep up with rumors and/or actual products headed their way...

[Shtick]

Store Employee: What Marketplace set?

My buddy and I had a bit of fun with the Downtown Disney LEGO store a while back. Right before the Indy LEGOs were released, my buddy had bought the Motorcycle Chase set on Ebay. We took it to the LEGO store, and asked if they had any of the new Indy sets. The clerk replied, "No, they have not been released yet." Then we asked him if he'd like to see one.

They are just employees. They are usually the last to know any information.

[castlestrike666]

You've got a point there, dadster, but maybe they're not allowed to give information about the coming sets? I cannot imagine an employee of a specialised Legostore doesn't know what's coming next year.. I think he even knows more than we already know!

I suppose within a month we will finally be able to enjoy this marvelous set!

So maybe the first half of January, if we're lucky.. . I'm already saving money!

That's great Shtick!!

I might have asked him to ring it up and see what happens...

Where did you get it?

And i know there's already a review, but could you make another, detailed one, maybe with better pictures of the one we already know?

Edit: Oh, just saw you're already doing it, nevermind.

Emilec isn't the only one who got his hands on it; there's a review up at Brickjournal too.
