Confirmation of New Sets

It has been confirmed that that Dwarfs Mine set I reported on yesterday is an official set. It was found in a retail catalog in Australia and the November date makes it look like it is going to be a store exclusive over there. There has been a mixed reaction from the Lego forums with some people agreeing with me and saying it looks excellent, but others saying it looks more like a Mega-Bloks (aarrgh!) clone. As soon as I see more detailed pictures I will post them here.

I am loving the new Castle line (after not being very interested at all in the Knight's Kingdom sets) and hope now that we see some elves! It is turning into more of a fantasy theme, but that is fine by me. Please let me know what you think!

There is also a new Exo-force set shown in that catalog with the very unimaginative name of 'Bad Guy Vehicle'!

New Castle Set?

Just spotted this on the forums at Bricklink.

If this really is a new set that it is coming out then it has to be one of the best ideas and is right up there with all the other excellent recent sets. I just love the Dwarf, Troll and mine carts!

It will be interesting to see what other sets are planned if any more information comes out in the next couple of days

Castle Chess Set Details

I opened up and had a good look at my new Castle Chess set this evening. I think this is by far the best Lego Chess set yet, I hope you agree!


The figures are all excellent, especially the Kings and Queens. I can see a lot of these being sold to 'army builders'


I have taken pictures of all the pices and the box front, back and insides and these can be seen (once moderated) on Brickshelf here:

In the meantime here are a few tasters!

New Castle Chess Set

I have just spotted (and ordered!) a new Chess set based on the new Castle theme and the Spellbreaker 4D movie shown in the Legoland parks. It costs £29.99 in the UK and you can order it here.

If anyone has any more detailed pictures please let me know as I want to know if the Queen of the 'Goodies' is the princess from the movie.
