I say yes for the King's Castle - big, good number of figs. But I also say yes for the Skeleton Tower - it's considerably cheaper, has a different dragon and the same barding as in the King's Castle, and is the only set with the Princess and the Wizard [apart from the chess sets].

Forget the Advent Calendar? Do not blaspheme! There's no jester or witch in this set! Or maybe you could by both...hmm yes that would work well...

It'll come out in January 2009.

I started a Colonial One a while back, there are WIP pictures on my Brickshelf Here, ignore the off colors and Viking at the controls, but I quit the project due to lack of parts. What I got done [back, base of ship] might give you some ideas though.

All I plan on getting is Castle and Pirates. Next year with Pirates, villagers, and a positive carpload of telescopes and medieval buildings will prove very useful for Brickenshoal...

Oooh, they'd better play nice now... I like the ending, too. It's 2001 with domes and Dume.

So once you've done all that you can do, you buy this thing, turn all the multipliers back on and get another four billion?

That's why I voted Orc Castle - imagine the dark brown log bricks...

I am quite jealous - my sister would never let me borrow money to get more Lego. Although I can't handle the awesomeness - it's overloading my body, I looked into the Awesome Lego, nobody's meant to do that... I'M REGENERATING!!!

I do wish that the duck was a bit more...horizontal myself. I've never seen such an upright mallard. Three? Where are you getting the money?

Wouldn't this be legally wonky, due to action figures and such? But if not, allow me to put in my two bits - Indiana Jones Battlepack Includes 4 Indiana Joneses and a 30's car.

I like to think of him as the old fart. Speaking of farts, cheese-cutting wench? I'm happy with the chicken, rooster, and duck - it works great for me, they're nice parts, and it's more versatile than a new mold. Your wallet will like 2009 just as much as you will - carploads of expensive Lego is the ultimate diet for wallets!

I voted Orc Castle and Trebuchet. Hopefully not a top price point Castle [like $50 would be good] and a non-wheeled trebuchet.

The waterwheel part looks to be new - it seems that there's also a bunch of them in the farm combine coming out next year. All the tubes are telescopes from next year's Pirates, too. The arches are vehicle fenders, yes. And the only other place I've seen the plumes are in Pirates next year, as flames, so I don't know what they are supposed to be. If you've seen the new Pirates pics, you'll know that that's what they're for. I'm glad that we get so many in this set.

The fleshie one's Willie from Indy btw. Although I like the mermaid and the Orc she-shaman is awesome.

Yay, jedikermit agrees with me! Just took another look at those fish, they appear to be pearl grey/silver. Lightsaber hilts, anyone? And I also forsee a reawakening of the Whacking trend when the fish become available.

Looks more like black to me - we won't know for sure until someone gets their hands on it, but in the meantime I say it's black.

Green dress? The new dresses I see are tan and brown, and black. I like the new new black dressed one, she looks like some manner of medieval rogue.

Green lightning! I think we're seeing a bit change in Lego, I mean we've got four female figs next year by the looks of it [Orc Queen, Queen, two maidens in Medieval Market].

Just realized there are two cows I hereby Eurobricks Copyright the terms Cow-Force and Exo-Cows. I think my intentions are clear.

Yay dark brown hoods! I just love that color

A she-troll? I think I missed that, where can I find it?

Yep, 'tis $150 CAD. Bit unfair, when you look at the US price. But still worth every penny :D

Oooh you beat me to it But squeeeeeee!!!!!!! It's like Green Grocer for the castle crowd! And it looks like the buildings can be left open of closed, so that's good :) Agent trace hair! Two girls! One's completely new [looks like a rogue] A cow! 8 figs! A little punk! A beggar! A whole turkey! Won't be buying anything else thise year, gotta save up!

Ooooh, very nice. I'm a fan. Looks quite accurate, too :) Although, is there an interior? And don't make a microscale Galactica, go the whole way! Fig-scale Galactica FTW!
