Just saw that they are from brothers brick. They have amazing detail pictures, i'm off saving them all No words: Edit: So that should mean the official announcement by TLG should have been made, looking at the pictures in the flickr folder from which the above picture is from. Here's the official description of the set:

don't know if this has been posted yet, but while looking at some pictures of the new amazing castle set, i also came across a closeip of the new pirates mermaid gallon figure: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/291237...497a042ff_o.jpg

Where have you got that high-res picture from?

The price doesn't really interest me, if it's expensive i'll pass by some other things on my wishlist for this beauty. But i wonder if it will be a 2009 release or if it is this year's last exclusive we were waiting for?

Oh sorry, i didn't think about that cause i'm still so overwhelmed about it.

Another picture, with the set built: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3120/291190...8fbaff318_o.jpg There are even some more pictures in Doctor Sinister's folder. maybe he can give us more information on the set, as he is also an EB member, isn't he?

I still almost can't trust my eyes. Best castle set EVER for e, definitely! Btw., have you seen the maiden that's standing at the table with the turkey? I think that's also a new torso she has, and she looks lovely edit: It seems we will be getting more information later today, check out this post from Olog over at CC:

Holy sword of artus, i just neary got a heart attack OMG, if this is real (and it looks very real) i'm SO getting next year, no matter how much it costs. Klaus-Dieter, we will finally get medieval market stuff

Feckin' Amazon still didn't ship mine, so that means it will again not arrive before next week. I can't wait anymore!!!

Thanks a lot for the instructions whung!

Why don't they change the agreement? I don't get it, they really are only cutting their own flesh with that.

sorry, but i can't understand what you mean. Can you form your sentence a bit better?

Well, if i can throw in that, the thing with the mine having no back wall is, if you want it to be closed on the back you'd actually need a whole mountain behind it

Wow, i think you did an amazing job by designing this train! I love the connection of old and new pieces, works really well. Are you also planning to add some interior?

Wow, there seems a lot of mistakes happening around this calender, that's very strange. lready read in another thread (i think it was the new sets thread but i'm not sure) that somebody got 2 same knight figures instead of 2 different ones. But completely missing sets is really f***** up. Edit: It was This Review Thread of the set.

This is a really great set, from which i always wanted to see more detailed pictures. Wish TLG would make more such detailed trains instead the new passenger trains with lots of big pieces. Looking forward to the next part, looks very good so far!

Well so, i'm a little out of the picture, has the academy already started or is there a deadline till everybody can join annd then it starts?

How can a wind turbin factory who has about zero clue about lego decide if it's going to be sold or not? That seems so ridiculous to me, i'm speechless

After reading the explanations on how the thing with the academy works, it also would be an honour for me to join! I've already made a few reviews but i'm willing to get better in it and still have some sets i want to review.

yes, i thought of it a few weeks ago when it was announced, but i kinda forgot it. I'll for sure give it a look!

I seems it will still take a while till i am able to get one, i checked out several stores here in my town today, and noone had it. I then saw the late 2008 catalogue and recognized these calendars all come out only in october here. So i'll have to wait on amazon anyway. i'll still be doing the second review, though

Wow, thanks for that great review TheBrickster, your images are really awesome. As most alrteady know i love the whole divers theme, and this might be the best set of it, along with the other bigger one with the big ship. I really love the color scheme if the sets, and of course all the nice accesoires that come with them. I agree with you on the playability, i guess you never get tired playing with it. That makes me so much more wishing i had this or an other divers set

They don't seem very professional there, one person doesn't know what the other does. Everybody "thinks he knows" something but nobody really knows anything accurate, that's really ridiculous

Well, i just saw that the castle calendar doesn't come out before the 4th of october here, so that means i also won't have the city one before that since i ordered both at once. I'll gho to check out my local stores tomorrow, cause i can't wait any longer, maybe i'll sell one later on when i have them twice in the end.

Here are two folders to 2 of the models: John Hancock Center http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=343951 Sears Tower http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=343950 Thanks for the find!
