The Middleman

They rereleased the Westerns one, that's what that article on LEGO is about (sorry). Maybe at some point, we'll see new Western sets, but the rerelease was too recent for another release, in my opinion. 2002, wasn't it?

Yeah, but I'd rather get them now at full price than in 3 months at half price. In fact, I don't think I've ever gotten a LEGO set on sale. I'm much more of a day-before-it-comes-out person.

Yeah, that was in that price list that got posted a while back. The sets sound kind of similar to the old Dino Island ones, though... I'm skeptical.

Yeah, I would much rather have 3 new beards and 3 different (not even new) faces than 6 new bearded faces. :'(

That's what I was thinking.

Agreed. :-D I can't wait to build a Viking army.

Because of the 'respect the brick' rule on FBTB (meaning that leaked pics can't be shown), and Rebelscum is THE leader in leaked Star Wars LEGO pics... conflicts have arisen.

I honestly was not impressed with the old Western series, and it was re-released once, and I think that's enough. ;) No offense. The Indian sets were pretty awful to me, and the Cowboy sets weren't good for much else. Now, Ninjas, on the other hand... *wub*

LEGO Viking sails are based on things like this: That was released before Playmobil Vikings, so they aren't really stealing anything (this was the only Viking-like ship LEGO released before Vikings themselves, though). And the horned helmets are universal, even if they aren't true to history itself. ;)

That's ok, Brickster, I understand. I'm not too fond of the dragons myself. ;) For any 'Historic' series, I'd like to see: - Greeks (for the monsters) - Romans (for the armies) - Aztecs/Mayans - Feudal Japan (NINJAS! Rerelease needed badly...)

Alrighty then, I was really wondering because in some cases I've seen links to Rebelscum shot down. ;)

All right, that's it. Let's go to FBTB and bum rape Fez, then. :P I gotta admit, that is a really hot title. Aren't fezzes also hats?

Yeah, cause I'm wondering, is it ok to link to Eurobricks.com from FBTB? The whole respect-the-brick deal and all, you know.

Oh, sam, you hit the big one. ;) Look at your post count.

PAINKILLER!

I too like the old horses. I think jointed horses would look really odd.

My Wal-Marts usually don't have anything (sales or new sets), but I'll give those drawers a shot. Thanks Brickmaster!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - (stops before sam edits his post again) Hopefully they will be soon! :'(

I think I've seen that in a magazine or something before.

Brickster, please stop your flame crusade against Vikings. I like them. Everyone else likes them. Anyway, Vikings is supposedly the first section of sets in a new 'Historic' theme. I hope that rumor is true, and I wouldn't doubt that it is.

I think that's a bit harsh, Brickster. I like Vikings, and Playmobil released them a loooong time ago. It's not like Playmobil has a copyright on them, and LEGO is just using the Viking stereotype, not copying Playmobil directly.

Jeez, you all have obsessive tendencies with those soldiers! Just wait till you see my Viking army, though... :D

Steal from FBTB. They do the best coverage of normal LEGO.

I still dislike the wings, but I guess they are better. Jipay, I think we'll get at least one more color apart from those two Viking dragons - the Hungarian Horntail in Harry Potter (which is supposed to be black).
