  1. lol you people are blind. Only half the soldiers are women, stop getting your nuts in a twist. There are 11 men and 10 women in the set, so the gender ratio is pretty close to even.
  2. Ktownbricks, Brickguild and Firestartoys all do this, the only problem is they're a bit expensive and get snapped up pretty quickly.
  3. I was like you once, then I realized I don't mind committing a little blasphemy now and then for prints and pieces in colours TLG never made.
  4. They made helmets to fit the new horses in the last Castle theme: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=13745 I agree it would have been nice to have them in new colours but oh well, there's always aliexpress.
  5. I'd like to see them done like the CMF Rogue was, where the wolf was an accessory on the torso, except this time in proper Wolfpack colours (brown/black/gray/red). I'd also really love to see a full workshop set for Majisto(with a proper Majisto and a few Dragon Masters)
  6. Looks like the same sword that's in the Harry Potter chess set and the new Thor sets. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=18031&colorID=11&in=A
  7. A nice little touch are some of the yellow castle shields as wall decorations
  8. High res pictures are up on TBB: https://www.brothers-brick.com/2022/06/18/lego-reveals-10305-lion-knights-castle-and-10497-galaxy-explorer-as-throwback-sets-for-90th-anniversary-news/ What a beautiful set. My one complaint is the print designs on the bardings are kind of bleh.
  9. I miss Bricks and Pieces more every day.
  10. Initially I thought the "18 years and up" thing was meant to be a callback to classic boxes but a quick google tells me the original set box said "ages 7-12" so no idea about that specifically. The 18+ thing in general is because TLG wants to sell stuff to adults who are too insecure to buy children's toys.
  11. Trust me, there's a built-in fanbase champing at the bit for any kind of new Castle sets, just look at how a lot of classic castle pieces have tripled in price on bricklink in the last few years. Whether the price increase will affect that or not is a different matter, however.
  12. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they raise the threshold, too.
  13. I'd love it if they did introduce a second torso style for both the Lion Knights and Black Falcons. However even if they don't I plan to order a bunch of the new dark bley viking torso as soon as they hit PaB and use that for my Black Falcons. Also gonna get a bunch of that "white falcon" torso if they ever hit BL/PaB and use that for the lion knights after removing the print on the back of the torso.
  14. Green Forestmen hats are also in the succulents set.
  15. It's not a thing because TLG refuses to give us another proper Castle theme.
  16. Bandanna would actually be more appropriate given the original Forestwoman minifig. Hard to tell with how small that picture is, though. Could just as easily be a braided hairpiece of some kind. Personally I'll be saving my money for the big Castle. Would have loved to have the Forestmen set but sacrifices need to be made when you're on a limited budget. Hopefully the shields and torsos will be available through PaB at some point.
  17. Only in Europe, the Viking Ship doesn't release in North America until August, unfortunately.
  18. Gotta say, I'm skeptical of that picture. Mostly because the forestwoman is holding the old sword mould, which hasn't been in sets since 2016. I'd be glad to be proven wrong though, I like that sword mould better than the one that replaced it.
  19. I'd love to see some of the other factions represented in the CMF wave, maybe a Black Knight, or a Wolfpack thug, hell a new version of Cedric the Bull would be neat.
  20. Series 9, in 2013. Last time the piece was released was in blue in a Nexo Knights set in 2017. I want some in black though, and the cheapest seller with multiples on BL wants almost $6CAD each and that's highway robbery as far as I'm concerned.
  21. I was right about the minifigs but wrong about the castle, which is fine with me. The set in the drawing looks just as cool, I'm just happy to have more castle sets. Really hope one of the Black Falcon minifigs has a visor helm, they haven't been made in black in like 20 years and are getting insanely expensive on the aftermarket.
  22. Clearly not. I've spent many evenings lately pricing old castle pieces off bricklink and it's not as cheap as you'd think. Drifting off topic now though, so I'll just shut up. Really hoping the new shields and minifig parts end up on pick-a-brick eventually so I can army build a bunch without breaking my wallet.
  23. Biggest Castle set I got as a kid was 6078, so I'll be quite happy to own a reproduction of a classic big Castle set(plus a few extra thousand castle-y pieces) without having to pay aftermarket prices for it.
