metalandi Posted February 17, 2011 The weapons can't be preliminary, because if they would be changed, they also would have to make whole new molds (which are very expensive tools) for them, and they'd never do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giggitygoo Posted February 17, 2011 I prefer Warcraft Orcs than Tolkiens. And I really like how Lego pictured Orcs( but I don't like the fact that they call them trolls), and I would love to get more and more orcish faces! I am happy that we are getting "baby orcs"in Heroica, only I have to think how can I use it! Tolkein > Blizzard no there both cool but I just wouldnt really want more orc sets since there have already been a few. I would rather a new fantasy evil faction and if they use the orcs a new fantasy good faction could the series 3 minifig elf be hinting something? and wasnt there a promo for the elflands a few years back. Maybe one day the elves will be in our hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neoriceisgood Posted February 18, 2011 Personally I wished Castle would get the City treatment where it wouldn't just be one medieval/knightly theme per year. As much as I don't like playmobil, I can't help but feel a bit jealous over the fact that they get like ... 3 different castle-ish themes at the same time. (regular knight guys, interior castle stuff for girls and some "dragon's kingdom" fantasy set) But I guess Lego probably has good reasons why City has so many sets and Castle tends to keep it to one subtheme per year ... right?

metalandi Posted February 18, 2011 I think that's not possible, cause castle simply hasn't got such a wide variety to have many different "subthemes". There was no police, firemen or such stuff in the medieval times. The main thing was the medieval civilian life, and knights that were fighting. A possible subtheme could be something where they focus on the life on sea in the medieval age, with ships and harbours and so on. Another one could be civilian sets (which we start getting now), and then various factions of fighting knights (which we also have already). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigmapc Posted February 18, 2011 Civilian sets are always welcome. What would really be nice is if Lego made a UCS-type castle complete with moat (printed on a base plate perhaps), trees, and some scenery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fred67 Posted February 18, 2011 Civilian sets are always welcome. What would really be nice is if Lego made a UCS-type castle complete with moat (printed on a base plate perhaps), trees, and some scenery. It would cost $500 or more, but you know what? I'd buy it... and never buy another castle from TLG again, because hey, I have the UCS one. I can think of several reasons why TLG wouldn't do this - primarily the prospect of very low sales figures.

I can think of several reasons why TLG wouldn't do this - primarily the prospect of very low sales figures. I bet you would buy another one when it came out. The Imerial Flagship of 2010 was a big seller for $180 and everybody is ready to buy another pirate ship of the same quality, so I think most people would probably be willing to buy another castle when it came out. Also, most of the other UCS sets like the Taj Mahal or the green grocier sell pretty well, so I think that a big UCS castle would be a good idea.

Juppy Posted February 20, 2011 yea i seriously don't mind a expensive UCS castle. The max I'm willing to pay for a LEGO set would be about 800 i guess. Provided its really stunning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metalandi Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) very nice! i wish the sets would come out abit earlier than summer, the anticipation is so high already does anyone think there might be a chance that they're coming out earlier, since we are already getting professional pictures? btw. i just noticed there is one of those new bottles in the carriage set Edited February 21, 2011 by metalandi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haltiamieli Posted February 21, 2011 btw. i just noticed there is one of those new bottles in the carriage set Oh my, I hope the king doesn't have a drinking problem. It seems the fish stayed in the set - bizarre! The spider web with the long bar attached is a new mold, isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Algernon Posted February 21, 2011 I really like that Windmill set. Do we have a price for that one yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted February 21, 2011 Oh my, I hope the king doesn't have a drinking problem. It seems the fish stayed in the set - bizarre! The spider web with the long bar attached is a new mold, isn't it? Yeah, that is a new spider web mold! On a side note, I never thought there was anything bizarre about the fish in the set. As I see it, it's a meal for the invaders. Having them eat whole fish just adds to their barbaric appearance. I can totally picture in a comic-book format these two invaders hiding in the trees, one of them munching on a fish as they wait for the carriage to approach.

GreenKnight Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) I just noticed a really good thing about these sets, Smiles! The last years almost all Castle minifigs has shown angry faces, now they are happy. Just like in all the classic sets. In the mill set all three knights are smiling, quite happy with guarding the farm against the wicked lion knights Edited February 21, 2011 by GreenKnight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delta 38 Posted February 21, 2011 Hmm, strange. Why is there a new spiderweb mould? Kind of redundant, I think, a bit like the automated hammer with the Blacksmith Attack set. Yay, there's a cat (or is it a large mouse?) in the Dragon's Prison set. That's good, as I don't own one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UsernameMDM Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Nvm. Yay for bottle piece in King's Chariot. Gizmodo says it's a 50$ set. I thought 40$ was steep! Edited February 21, 2011 by UsernameMDM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like in all the classic sets. In the mill set all three knights are smiling, quite happy with guarding the farm against the wicked lion knights But at least two of the dragon knights in the mill set have old faces from last year. On the contrary, the new faces shown in the prison escape set are all angry. So I really don't know what you are talking about... Yay, there's a cat (or is it a large mouse?) in the Dragon's Prison set. That's good, as I don't own one. That's the normal rat that's been around for ages. Many Fantasy Era sets had it, too.

Shroffy123 Posted February 21, 2011 The new pictures present additional great new details. The Dragon Knight has a new breastplate design, new faces amongst the mini-figs. I'm liking these sets the more pictures I see. June can't come quick enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Artifex Posted February 21, 2011 I really like the minifigs, the horse and the accessories of the Dragon Knight dungeon and its overall design. But I think the building itself is sort of poor. It seems Lego is trying to save a couple of bucks worth of bricks and plates (compare it to 6062 Battering Ram and 6059 Knight's Stronghold). I don't really like the design of the King's carriage, but it's got some nice pieces and ideas for a carriage MOC. I like the new King print, and I love all the minifigs, horses and accessories. The trees are really a plus to this set. I love all the others sets as they are, and I have no problem with the weapons in the blacksmith set -- actually, I think they are just great! I'm anxious to get all these sets and place them with the other Kingdoms ones and the MMV. I bet Kingdoms is going to have an exclusive set MMMV-style, but I have no clue of what that could be. Thanks for the pics! It's always good to have pics of the new sets! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
