am i the only one that actually also likes the catapult itself and is not only crazy for the figs? i honestly think though it's small, it's one of the ebst catapults of the last years. the wheels made of the round 2x2 plates gives it a lovely historical touch can't wait to get my fingers on these new sets.

Wow, where did you already get that?

excuse me, i noticed a lot of people write "helm"..if you mean with that the thing knights wear on their head, then it's a HELMET, helm means something completely different :P

Too bad there's again no printed torso, but still very nice. thanks for the picture!

I'm pretty sure we won't see any of them in regular stores before august.

I noticed that TLG really seems to love the cheese pieces, since they are everywhere in the new sets! Also in the knight's showdown there are 2 on the weapon stand, and there are dozens of red ones on the bif castle. I like them there, though.

IF, and that's a huge "if", there will be a new western theme anytime soon, i hope it won't be a licenced one. An unlicended theme just has SO much more possibilities for sets than a licensed one. The variety is pretty much unlimited, while a licenced one could pretty much only feature sets that show scenes, characters, vehicles and places of that ONE film. some might say now star wars also were films and there are like 4 millions ets, but boy, star wars is taking place in like a whole universe and over a span of multiple years, so that can't be compared to a western movie that basically is happening in one city.

Well, we don't know exacly what will be in it. Usually there's much more included than what is showed on the box art.

Thanks for the heads-up! Also have been checking that constantly since weeks

Sorry, but it is definitely NOT a sticker If you look at the BIG size picture (not the one Nikolai posted) you can totally clearly see that it is printed. If you don't zoom it in, your eyes get fooled a bit, i noticed that aswell. But when you look at it at the original size there's no doubt at all it is printed.

I can't wait to see everything that will be in the calendar. The prince fig is just awesome, and it's even more awesome to be able to add another character to the castle world. If i'm not mistaken this should be the first EVER fig of a prince?

These are clearly not fake. You can clearly see the torso is printed if you looka t the picture in the big size. Any info where that will be included? Can't recall seeing this fig anywhere before..

I just HAD to vote for svelte-was-wrong-colour

I liked this set since i saw the first pictures, but now i love it! The features it offers are ecven better than i first thought, and against my first intention, there actually IS a good selection of interior in it aswell. I really like that sword hiding feature. Can't wait to get this!

I'm not too sure about this fig to be honest. I get that it its yellow because the lego citizens have yellow "skin", but it still looks kinda weird to me that way. Also, i think most dummies actually have no printing or whatever at all on the torso, and also not on the legs.

Thanks for all the minifig reviews! Just a question, is it in any way visble from the bag what fig is inside? Just wondering casue you already got so many different ones. Or did anyone that knows it tell you which fig is inside, or did you just get yourself 50 bags and hoping to get as many different figs as possible with that? :P

Yeah would like to know that too, we haven't heard anything official yet, have we? Just heard a rumour once, that they're gonna come out late summer.

Thanks for these, they look indeed new to me (though we all know already how the sets look, anyway). I think you missed out this one:

I didn't know that since i don't use photobucket for too long, that sucks. Gotta put them on brickshelf then. Edit. Should work again soon (once the brickshelf folder is moderated)

That's weird, i also can't see them here anymore, but on my photobucket album they still are, and they also show up when i enter the direct link for them. Anybody else not seeing them here anymore? Maybe it's just photobucket messing around...

What do you mean? I don't remember seeing a different dragon symbol on the torsos. The shields have a different one, though. Also, it's pretty obvious the shields and torsos won't be stickers.

I could, but i can tell you that these don't show anything that we haven't seen yet.

I was at a local store today, and saw that all the fantasy era castle sets have disappeard from the shelves, there was no "old" castle stuff at all anymore. Also there are no castle sets in the most recent catalogue anymore(the one you can just pick up). I hope the new lin come sout sooner than august, cause i need to see some castle stuff in the stores!

that's amazing how they fi together, no matter in which configuaration! i wish i could afford just one of them, you're really lucky

I just thought why there is a burning torch in this set, probably it is supposed to put the spears on fire and then shoot them away with the cart, against the enemies or against the enemie's castles. Though there is no mechanism for that, but i could imagine that could be a thought behind that...
