VBBN Posted December 7, 2008 A few months ago, I purchased these sets for $7.99 each at TRU: But looking on Brickset only a total of 5 people own these sets. So were they rare or not released in some places? Thanks, VBBN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zepher Posted December 7, 2008 I believe that somehwere some one stated that they were designed but never released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Bit Posted December 7, 2008 They are very, very rare. Could you post a reveiw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faramir Posted December 7, 2008 Last I checked, these didn't exist... A review, or even just a few box pictures would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natman8000 Posted December 7, 2008 Cool find! Even though these are rare, I can't believe you payed eight dollars for those Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadows Posted December 7, 2008 Well, they're interesting, and I obviously wouldn't mind having them, but fortunately they just aren't rare parts. Clearly they meant to release them, since they made instructions available. Skeleton Chariot Knight & Catapult So, at least we can recreate them, if there is a great desire to do so. Reviews would be nice though, since they are real sets, and rare ones at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So were they rare or not released in some places? Thanks, VBBN I was pretty sure this wasn't ever released in any way. But let's not get into the discussion on wether they were as promotionals or not. Perhaps you could post pics of the polybags or boxes? Personally I've just recieved the bricks for both sets, all I need now is to print the instructions. So without box or polybag pictures, I call your bluff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewRight Posted December 7, 2008 Those do seem like interesting sets. I would love to see some more box photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VBBN Posted December 7, 2008 I'll scrounge up some pics soon- I'm pretty sure these were the sets haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fordo Jumping Posted December 7, 2008 I wanna ask... Aren't these true? I've seen them a few months ago on brickset.com. http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Year=2...mp;Theme=Castle And have been waiting for them for a long time... If those are not true I will be very disappointed.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pickerel Posted December 7, 2008 Hasn't there been rumors floating around saying these sets are to be released in '09? Nice Santa Smiley, KimT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted December 7, 2008 I wanna ask...Aren't these true? I've seen them a few months ago on brickset.com. http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Year=2...mp;Theme=Castle And have been waiting for them for a long time... If those are not true I will be very disappointed.... Well originally we thought they would be released this year, but for whatever reason, they never ended up in any stores or on S@H. I'm not sure if there was an official statement on the matter though. So, they were real, but it looks like we may never be able to buy them. The parts would be quite easy to buy though if you still wanted to make the model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VBBN Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) Sorry for the confusion guys, these weren't the sets that I purchased. I thought they were when I found them on Brickset, but als they aren't. The sets that I am thinking about are Knights Kingdom sets that were on clearence. Feel free to close this topic, unless you want to leave it open for discussion of these two sets. Sorry once again, `La Empray VBBN Edited December 7, 2008 by VBBN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted December 7, 2008 Gotcha Let's leave this open for discussion on those two sets. I'll rename the topic to fit a little more. I'll be doing reviews of both within the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted December 7, 2008 I'll be doing reviews of both within the week. KimT, did you manage to build multiple sets for your Skeleton Chariots? Anyway, there are instructions available and I think it won't be that hard to assemble the required parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
user Posted December 7, 2008 where in the world did you get these please answer they are EXTREMELY rare thank you for showing us that they actually exist! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted December 7, 2008 Erhm.. They don't exist. Yes I managed to acquire bricks enough to actually make 20 sets of each. I'm considering what to do with those 40 sets in total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollisbrick Posted December 7, 2008 Erhm..They don't exist. Yes I managed to acquire bricks enough to actually make 20 sets of each. I'm considering what to do with those 40 sets in total.

Stash2Sixx Posted December 8, 2008 Promotional sets. Only problem is, I don't know who the company was that was giving them away... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted December 8, 2008 C'mon guys. If these were real, then we'd have polybag or boxshots all over brickset, bricklink and brickshelf. Noone has ever seen a boxshot. All we've ever seen is the picture from the instructions in LEGO's cache. So let go of your promotional dream. These sets were never produced. The next one to say so, better have the box or polybag to back up his/her words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UsernameMDM Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) These sets were never produced. I emailed Lego Customer Service about these two sets, and here is the answer I got: Dear Matthew Thank you for your interest in LEGO Edited December 8, 2008 by UsernameMDM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
