Thanks for the pics Simon - fantastic. I am looking forward to a review. I want to buy a castle for my son for Christmas and would appreciate a review if anyone intends to buy one before then.

I also LOVE the photos of that custom system x castle...I didn't think it could be adapted to well.

While I like Steck and System X for their expandability and regret these new castles are not the same, I must say that I do like the looks of them as is.  I'll probably end buying them. :-[

I do like the looks of these but I see one major flaw with them (or I might be just blind *grin*)

Where are the rulers supposed to live?

I only just realized this as I wanted to use one of these for the center of a big city as the royal castle. But there is NO housing.

The 3628 like the 3666 had nice living quarters smallish but they were there (to be expanded upon of course)

They are still great and I will probably get them anyway but they are not high on my priority list!

Maybe they lived in a bunker, Saddam Hussein-style.

Hi all!The new Knights theme has just arrived at my favorite toystore,and I must say it looks AWESOME!!!Really old school "Playmobil-ish",but with just enough great new details on the figures and fantastic new gear,like those great helmets and shields.Oh,and I really wouldn't be too hasty to write off the new castles as "cheap looking chinese stuff",when you see them "hands on" in reality they look and feel really great!

You can always order the loose figures from DS,like I do when I just want one or two particular figures from a set. ;)

The two klickies in the corner - top left - which set are they from as I don't recognise that helmet?

If you live in a country that has a DS service, and if they have the figures in stock...


Waaay nicer than the previous generation of knights that came with the 3268 and rock castle.

Like the 3 person add-on. :yup:
