Maybe it will balance the overabundance of unicorns?

I do think it is a better fit since it fits nicely into an existing theme world - Vikings.

Exactly! It could bring the Viking line back into the mainstream, there are a ton of nice sets in the Viking line.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

Do Vikings appear much in Europe in pop culture?

Is it only me, or is anyone else feeling a bit insulted that this news was not shared on PCC before (or even at the same time as) Facebook? But I am not a fan of Facebook, so I will not be looking there for further revelations...

Always. It totally boggles mind. WHY drive traffic to a 3rd party site?

And I STILL can't access the pcc  :'(

Yes, I thought it odd and disappointing at the same time. But then I understand with the fact that some idiots spoil it by spreading the news. At least a simultaneous release with the PCC, I feel like we deserve that much.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

I complained at PCC and received the following answer:

"Hi bogol - this information was posted on all our channels, including the PCC at the very same time (September 19, 1:00  pm). All press and communication releases are timed in line with our licensing contract, so in this instance a preview is not possible."

Although I am sure I haven't seen the Dragon information on PCC after it was already public on FB, I believe them. Maybe a technical problem (tahra can't even access the website)?

These will fit quite nicely with the Knights, Vikings and other "historical" themes.
I could even picture Hiccup and the gang traveling to the world of ancient Egypt or Rome. :)

Thanks for that bogol. I probably could have seen it on PCC at the same time as it was released on FB, but the PCC site isn't one I visit very often because its so...... well, you know (mutter, mutter)....

It was on the public front page of the PCC site yesterday. If you are going into the members only section directly you may have missed it. If you go to PCC.pm it's right there as the featured blog post.
