10305 Lion Knights' Castle 90th anniversary set
Follows Closely replied to R0Sch's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
^ How silly all the female knights are. -
Yes! This set should have been in every Wal*Mart and Target. Ideally near the checkout isle to attract the 40-50 year old shoppers.
-
Yeah. It was a no-brainer. I am relieved in a way; now I don't need to spend $400 on Wednesday.

I purchased four Medieval Blacksmith sets that I would not have normally purchased. You do what you have to do to get the pieces you want: in this case the shields and black "wood" pieces. I will sell the Blacksmith sets once they are discontinued to recoup my cost plus some. #evilReseller

^ You are such an optimist. And... You can't be both an optimist and a Long Time Fan of LEGO Castle. There has just been too much disappointment over the years.
-
Pessimistic. The offer was "while supplies last", I see no other reason to shut it off. Mention of the offer is gone, and the product page is gone. (search shop.lego.com for 40567) My local store is sold out as well. When I asked they said they "do not expect another shipment".
-
It is not coming back. Good news for the re-sellers that stocked up last run. #legoFail
-
This means that I have no temptation what-so-ever to buy anything this month. Win for my wallet.
-
In the US I am no longer seeing 40567 when I add a qualifying item to my cart. Could it be gone already?
-
I like it. I would make the horse 3 wide (harder) instead of 4, and the head one wide (easy) instead of two.

You need to place the order while the GWP is active and available. If you pre-order while the GWP is not active you will not get the GWP, even if it ships while the GWP is active.

I saw that on Reddit the other day. It is impressive given the limited bricks in just three creator sets. I would like to see this with three creator and a blacksmith. -
^ I would also cast some blame at the store. ^

That would make a solid motivational poster. -

I made the post to encourage us (and remind us) that LEGO did budget a large number of sets to what they consider "Castle", just 4-7 years ago. Don't be discouraged, we may get a full lineup soon. -
My back ordered sets arrived today. I am pleasantly surprised that 40567 was included.

Two years minimum. I would not be surprised if it is still available in 2027. -
Latest impact of other themes on historic themes
Follows Closely replied to Wardancer's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
This fact is often ignored. Which leads many fans into unnecessary despair. We had a large castle theme just four years ago. This theme had 107 sets with over 150 unique figures in a three year run. Just because we don't like the mashing of medieval and mech, does not mean we can pretend that this theme does not exist. It did and it was great for what it was. Just image if we get a traditional theme with just half the sets that Nexo-Knights*. * I am ignoring the tv show behind the theme that I am sure inflated sales. We are never going to get a proper castle theme again :( -

^ That would inflate the piece count quickly. It would also set a precedence for future sets that would be unreasonable at the lower price points. I do think that 10305 suffers slightly from the big bley wall, but easily overlooked by this starving medieval fan. -
I am not into army building, but I am pleased to see my modest shield collection all in one place.

It is simply 1x4 slopes at 90⁰. On of the more interesting features when I built it from pictures. -

I love that my falcons finally have a castle that puts into question the underdog status that has pleaged them for 30 years. The video review could have greatly benefited for a quick refresser of some castle terminology. -

www.brickset.com posted a review of 497 Galaxy Explorer in which they said: If brickset is posting a review of 10497 next week, it is only logical to assume that we will be getting a review of 10305 as soon as next week! -

I have seen that image the day of release. The feature that the set designers meant to keep secret is this, and the other half of this room (between picture below and drawbridge) of this which we have not yet seen.
