    I don’t buy the bricklink sets because they don’t allow new parts. But I am wondering if the designers are allowed to do what LEGO did in this GWP and switch arm colors on a printed torso if both the arms and torso are available. You could actually create a pretty good black knights set if they allowed that at least. And it would at least look like new figures with all the combos they could make. I just wish they had done the right shield. But at least there is shield now, maybe. If they make it available in PAB.

    They don’t use the full CMF in sets I think. But they did use CMF to get parts for the Lion Knights castle. So maybe they will use the shield or another part in something else. I wish they would just make an entire CMF dedicated to castle. I would buy cases. A lot of people would.

    The updated logo looks good but only makes me more disappointed they didn’t put it on the right shield mold. I didn’t expect it to be what the original submission included. That had pretty much everything a black knights fan would want. But kind of annoying that all those things were included, so it won. Then they seemingly purposely deny each and every thing in the final version. Thought for sure that even if the set totally sucked we would at least get a updated version of the black knights shield to match all the other old factions updated so far. But instead got Zelda.

    Did they print on the legs or just swap in plain black legs? Hope the griffin torso is available on July 7.

    The sail is cool but not that important to me. Don’t care how many minifigures they include as long as they are available on PAB if they are new. Really just wanted an updated version of Black Knights shields at least like they did for the other factions. Was kind of expecting that as the minimum. Not sure if I like changing the shape. But will see how it looks. Hopefully this leak means pictures soon.

    They do have a history of releasing a cool castle GWP a couple months prior to a cool castle set. Of course they have a more recent history of releasing a crappy castle GWP a couple months prior to nothing. And there should be some hint or rumor if not a leak by now if something was coming. So I am pretty much just hoping we get an updated printed black knights shield at least. If it looks like the proposal and has that it’s worth getting. More than that like a new printed torso and I will be out trying to get as many as possible like with the hideout. And getting my hopes up for another set.

    Would like to believe the remaining parts mean something, because the forestmen parts are still there too. And been wanting a real forestmen set forever. But there are many parts still available that seem unlikely to be part of new set. Even the classic castle shields remain. Seems more likely these parts were very popular and sold well so they made a ton of them and will just take a while to sell out.

    I don’t know. Wolfpack was later, but they are pretty much done and complete as they made the torso and the shield. So they could reuse them like they did with the falcons in LKC. But there’s nothing really new or interesting about adding them other than making the shield more available. But they barely scratched the forestmen. There are three additional torsos, another color hat, three feathers. That would be something new and interesting to add. Though they could do both and have Wolfpack as a previously used torso to fill up minifigures without costing an additional print and still have a new FM as one of the new additions. Hope they let me recreate a modern version of this scene someday.

    I don’t necessarily disagree. Don’t know how they base their decisions on these things. If they do it at all they might make a cheaper version. But I think there is pretty good evidence that it is better to err on the side of just unloading the bank and jacking up the price than becoming overly obsessed with keep the price down. Because I never thought I would spend so much on a LEGO set before LKC came out, but now I own two and will probably get another before it goes out. Whereas I was so disappointed with MTS that it was the first new castle set in recent years that I didn’t buy immediately. Just finally got it a couple months ago. And even though I usually get at least two of the castle sets now since they are so rare, I will probably get another before third LKC instead of another MTS.

    If they were to make a Black Knight castle to replace LKC I don’t think they would be that strict on what they included. Don’t think it would be based solely on any one castle set. LKC was loosely inspired by past castles but not really an attempt to be a modern equivalent of anything specific. And they included things from all over the map. Like all those classic castle printed shields, some completely new shields, a new queen, and even having the Forestmen there. They were in some sets together but not the big castles unless you count the FM river fortress. BK and FM factions were available in the same period. Don’t think they were ever in the same set. But there was some catalogue art showing a massive invasion of black monarchs castle. Come to think of it. If they made a set based on that picture that would be awesome. I would spend a ton of money if they did that.

    If they make a black castle to rival the LKC I hope they repeat the things that made that set so awesome and throw in a lot of cool new printed shields and torsos. There are still classic castle shields left that weren’t used in LKC in addition to the BK shield itself. And my red FM are really lonely ( even though there are probably 100 or more of them). If they are not going to do a FM set at least give another version of them blue, black, or plain with accompanying feather and brown hat. And I still want the double axe torso. One of many things that disappointed me so much about MTS was not including that.

    I love the Forestmen. Seems others do too, since the prices and availability for the old sets are insane now. Love LKC. But did feel a bit like Charlie Brown flying through the air after Lucy pulled the football when I watched the designer video heard how close we came to have a giant modern Forestman set. I am guessing the most likely giant icon set will be Black Knights which I like too. But I hope they at least add another Forestman to that. I have too many modern red Forestmen. The Forestmen are not the Forestmen without some variety.

    Does seem convenient that LKC retires this year and LEGO has a nostalgia contest where they pick an awesome black night set as one of the choices in to vote for a GWP that comes out next year. They replaced the castle 3 in 1 pretty quick after retiring it. Hoping they have similar plans to replace LKC as well.

    Was thinking about dark green legs but not liking cutting off the continued printing. Brown arms might work if that looks good. Will have to compare these ideas side by side because I love the torso just not the overall look of the figures they made. I have tons of alternate helmets to choose from, so that part of it is no big deal.
  15. Black Feather
    Voted for Kraken but disappointed by the overall look. The brown helmet and legs make it look odd. The torso and shield are great. The helmet is so easy to fix it is not even worth complaining about in itself. But since the legs are printed to align with the torso that is more of an issue. Man, I wish they used the same color for the legs as the arms. That would look a lot better to me at least. Griffin looks awesome. Though I will switch the helmet.
