Blizzard support their games for years, regardless of popularity. Just look at Starcraft and Starcraft 2. They've just released an updated version of the original RTS Warcraft 3 game for modern PCs. Overwatch will be around for years yet.

I'm glad to see that Lego officials actually visit these boards and engage with fans. It's nice. Hopefully they've also seen the feedback on the desire for full sets and regarding the possibility of Warcraft stuff.

Hi all, Beyond the Brick is going to be interviewing the Lego Designer's and they're taking your questions! If we ever want a firm answer on whether or not we'll be getting anything for Castle again, everyone should go to their video now and ask about Castle: If we all do that, it's sure to be asked as a question and hopefully we'll see more than some fluff answer. Do it for your Lego Kingdoms, do it for Castle!

For anyone wanting a taste of what Lego Overwatch might look like, you can check out this series of IGN's customer Lego Overwatch stop motion shorts from last year: It's nothing official, but a fun stop motion in the Overwatch theme that you might enjoy.

I'm pretty certain, based on the limited info provided, that it's not just Brickheadz, if it is those at all. They said: "LEGO® Group has plans for multiple Overwatch building sets across various price points. ", which to me indicates that it will be sets of various sizes, rather than Brickheadz which as far as I know, are mostly the same size and/or price-point. "Building Sets" also says to me that it won't be a Brickheadz thing, even if you can technically class them as a set that you build. Anyway, it's all guesses for now, I guess we'll find out in time.

That's probably a good shout right there.

Well it said sets across all price points so I'm guessing it's a full range.

Yeah and the possibilities are huge. If they have Overwatch, it'd be easy for them to get Diablo, Starcraft, Heroes of the Storm and most importantly...World of Warcraft, which would be great for Castle fans like me.

The Unikitty blind bags are £3.50 in the UK, where the CMF are £3. Not news I know, but a little pricey I think. Interesting - will you buy these? Photos: https://imgur.com/a/feholS5

This is really fantastic! I always imagined the Black Falcons as the bad guys as opposed to the Crusaders being the good guys....but how can bad people live in such a beautiful castle as this?! They're good. You're good.

Hi everyone, So after having recently come out of my dark ages, I have been reinforcing my army with Castle themed Lego with lots from eBay. I've come across some great finds but I have noticed a disturbing trend of fakes appearing lately. I fear that my latest purchase may partially fall into this category, as you can see here: https://imgur.com/a/RG19fmJ It's a little disheartening when that happens, but hey...at least my boy can freely destroy them :) Has anybody else experienced similar? Seems like a lot of bother to report and send the items back. P.S. I presume that the 'centaur' bodies were never produced by Lego? The upper torso attaches to them. My ones are clearly fake.

Really nice work!

Here's a couple more: https://imgur.com/a/YykLHAF First one shows what I believe to be one of the fakes, without the Lego name, against a real one. Ah ok, I'd never heard of Brickforge until now, thank you. I guess in summary, it's not a big deal until I spend a lot. This one was only about £22 so what's that in dollars? $30ish? You win some you lose some - it's just not the first time it's happened.

Yeah i suppose that's an important distinction, because you can't fake what was never produced (the centaur), but there's some torso's without the Lego name on the neck stud, and I've never seen that on an official Lego piece :( P.S. - I feel like I should add a picture, since I look like a creepy-silhouette right now :)

Hello Sir Blake, Nice to 'meet' you. I stumbled upon this web forum and your post whilst in my lunch break at work today, and I have to say that hearing a like-minded individual like yourself sounding so down made me want to come here, registered and let you know that Castle theme Lives On! This is my first ever post and you are responsible for that so thanks. I've recently come out of my dark ages and fully intend to write up an S.A. on the details of it all and my journey since then. Until then, I want you to know that I feel the same about historical themes in Lego and especially Castle. I feel where you're coming from and I have to say that I don't think Lego is through with the Castle themes, but rather just on a hiatus, so take a break, save your money, and come back with Lego swords flailing when they release the next Castle line and when there's another beautiful Knight minifigure in Series 19 CMF. Until then, I'm enjoying my newly built 1980s King's Castle that was pieced together a mixed lot I bought from a charity shop! Yours truly, Leafan.
