hewkii9 Posted December 3, 2006 So, which should I buy? Here are my individual pros and cons for them- VDCvAOD: Pros- Viking set Better design More parts Log bricks Cons- Not on sale Too much Technic Only 3 figs BaTP: Pros- Would be my first castle On sale 10 figs plus skelly Cart wheels Place to store weapons[sometimes Rascus needs to put the stick down!] Cons- Not very good design The yellow seems a bit gaudy Please answer soon, as the sale only runs until Dec.8. Thanks in advance, Hewkii9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted December 3, 2006 BaTP. It looks better I think, and the catapult is, well, very unrealistic, at least the BATP is closer to reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted December 3, 2006 Pictures of what we're voting for would be helpful to those who aren't familiar with these sets... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sting Posted December 3, 2006 Phes is correct. I know both sets well, but many would not. Definately Battle at the Pass. Better pieces, better figs, and not as much Bionacle stuff (if any). That is assuming you aren't a Bionacle fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oo7 Posted December 3, 2006 Hewkii, look at your avatar. You have no Castle sets. You need Battle at the Pass. Why is alot of technic a con? Isn't Hewkii a Bionicle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hewkii9 Posted December 3, 2006 Hewkii, look at your avatar. You have no Castle sets. You need Battle at the Pass.Why is alot of technic a con? Isn't Hewkii a Bionicle? I already have 3 Viking sets, and Battle Wagon and Rogue Knight Battleship. Well, yeah, but it makes it hard if I want to rebuild the set and half of it is in my Technic bin. And Pictures are up.

Morgan19 Posted December 3, 2006 I'd say BatP, too. The design is pretty good if you can manage to combine it with other sets or put one or two other BatPs together to make a larger structure. As for the yellow being gaudy, that's easy enough to replace-- it's only in a few pieces. And how can you argue with that many figs? ;) m19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellerb Posted December 3, 2006 You should definitely buy the Battle at the Pass. It has more weapons and figures than any other similar sized castle set ever. It may even have more weapons than any other castle set. The Viking Catapult is ok, but I prefer the smaller and more affordable 7020 Army of Vikings with Heavy Artillery Wagon. http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/archives/7020.html That set has more Vikings and more useful brown plates. Both Viking sets have too much technic and not enough basic plate and brick. Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hewkii9 Posted December 3, 2006 Okay, everyone, thanks. I've made up my mind on BaTP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted December 3, 2006 Well I voted for Viking Double Catapult versus the Armoured Ofnir Dragon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WesternOutlaw Posted December 7, 2006 On another note, I'm not a big fan of the Lego creatures. I think Lego is trying to copy the success of MegaBlock dragons by designing these. I don't even enjoy building them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkaForHire Posted December 9, 2006 On another note, I'm not a big fan of the Lego creatures. I think Lego is trying to copy the success of MegaBlock dragons by designing these. I don't even enjoy building them. i just throw the parts into my mecha or not usable bin.... i don't even build the stinking things. I like the catapults though, they are at least ok... Its just too bad the themes don't mesh very well... i mean same time period, but the vikings look way too different to stick their fortress and aux wagons next to new castle stuff. Though if i can find new castle stuff on sale, i might buy some.... i want castle figs for various reasons... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted December 9, 2006 I would go for Battle at the Pass because it has most figs and weapons. And I don't like those dragons in the all the vikings sets. They should have the vikings fight some other faction (maybe a castle faction) but not stupid dragons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dillthepill Posted December 9, 2006 I voted for the Viking Catapult. The Armored Ofnir Dragon is awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
