Fives

Well, these pics confirm that the helmet is black. Also, I don't mind that they used the same torso from the Dragon knight because it is still covered by his suit of armour.

I'm 99% sure the face is the same one as the Dragon knight from the recent blacksmith set.

I'm for sure getting two. They just look so awesome put together, and then I will have two Falcon knights, plus double of everything else.

I like this idea, but I'd sooner treat him as a lone knight from a distant land who heard the call of contest.

It isn't a UCS. It is just an exclusive. Only Star Wars has UCS.

Seeing asthis wasn't mentioned before, has anyone else noticed that the Black Falcon knight's barding has the fleur de lis (or something very similar) all over it? It just seems interesting.

This episode looks funny. It won't be action packed, so the clones won't be used to their full potential, this episode will bring back the humour of 3-P0 and R2 from the OT.

Well, the Dragon Knights seem to be considered that bad guys, or "villains". But since the Forestmen usually are made out to be the good guys, why not make a "bad guy" version.

I'm sick of Dragon Knights. As much as they are cool and are a great faction, I love this new guy. Also, I agree with you on the point of the Lion barding. I got the Dragon Tower set, but that only gives me one knight in my whole (yet rather small) Lion faction, while my Dragons have two (one with barding). If I get two of these, or if anyone gets two of these, it would really boost any Lion army by four soldiers and two knights. Also, yay for little stable boy feeding loaf of bread to a horse!

I would think a white feather would look better. I think that if a new Black Falcons faction is released, they should be black and white. No other colours. And then a colourful group of forestmen, as said before, but have the Forestmen be the villains.

This is the BEST Kingdoms set yet! The castle is just beautiful, as is everything else! The new Black Knight is fantastic, and it is nice to see a new faction. One question though: Is this out now? If it is, I would buy it right now!

Lloyd is the lamest guy ever. He looks nothing like his father. And, Garmaddon looks way cooler with four arms. Anyway, these sets are way better that the first ones, and the snakes are a lot better than skeletons. This theme just gets better and better!

Personally, I love everything from the movies. From the Ewoks to the Gungans to the sand on Tatooine. I belive I am actually one of the few SW fans who can say this. Now the CW, on the other hand, is not as great. This upcoming episode makes me upset to think that the Gungans would think of helping the CIS. Now, I realize that this is an interesting idea to explore, I am worried that they are giving Jar JAr to much of a role. This is not the first time in this show that Jar Jar has had the leading role in an episode. As much as I like the guy, I would much rather see more of characters who are only seen briefly in the films, like Saesee Tinn.

What? Explanation please.

That clip just made Jar Jar look like a complete idiot. If he beats Grievous, it will be out of sheer dumb luck, like in episode 1 and the whole dumping the big boomas thing.

Have I missed some new pics or something? There seems to be a lot of talk about the ARC pauldron, and if all of this uproar is over the prelim pic, than it is pointless. I have a good feeling that a new mould will be made for the pauldron on the ARC. They wouldn't use Palpatines shoulder pads for two reasons: 1. they cover the entire arm practically, and 2. the pauldrons from '08 were special moulds, so why start making fabric ones now.

Yes, anyone can do this, but some people, like myself, want TLG's versions of the film characters. Making LOTR with existing parts works, but it looks like castle, not LOTR. I just love the movies, and I love the books too, but i saw the films before I read the books. Ever since the movies came out I have wanted LEGO sets, and have made custom stuff, but am never satisfied.

I also wondered if they would do an Orc in the CMF line, seeing as they have already done the Elf and the Dwarf. Also, Heroica would seem cool as a real theme, but I think the Goblins in that are still too cartoonish. If TLG remade Orcs in a new theme, it would be great if there were two different races of Orc: one smaller, used for grunt soldiers and workers, and a larger race, similar to the Uruk-Hai from LOTR. And then there could still be some trolls, but again, like you said, less cartoonish.

Trotter enters the hall quietly, without even making as much of a creak on the wood floor. He sits down at the bar and dives into a mug of ale and a turkey leg. People look at him with suspicion. Trotter had not been seen in these parts for a few weeks now, almost going on a month, and people had obviously started to forget about him. And it was not only his absence that had raised suspicion, but his appearance. He now wore a shirt of chainmail over a blue tunic of silk. At his side hung a short sword with strange markings engraved on the blade, and a pommel made of ruby.

I know that it would not be historically accurate, but I would LOVE to see some Spartans take on some Romans! Also, the Minotaur would go great with the Gladiator.

This would be my second choice, besides LOTR. It would be really great to see a theme where Elves play the leading role and there are no Men at all. Something like Elves vs. Goblins and Orcs.

Well, this sounds interesting. I am truly hoping that LOTR replaces Kingdoms, but who knows...

I've noticed that in all of the other forums, pics of new sets for 2012 are popping up for all sorts of themes, but there has been no news of any new Kingdoms sets. Does this mean that Kingdoms is discontinued, and if yes, what will replace it?

I must say, these episodes were OK. Just OK. The action was pretty good, but being under water, everything seemed slowed down and less exciting. Also, there are no characters in these episodes who you are (or at least I am) worried about. All the main characters must live past this battle, and Prince Lee-Char has no depth and isn't great. Also, you would expect the Republic to send a few more clones. There were like 20 where they started, and by the end of it, they were all dead. Anyway, I really hope that the season gets better, and from the looks of the trailers, it will.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned before, but Barriss has a new half-cape that goes about halfway down her arms.
