Latest knights are out
« on: September 07, 2010, 05:43:45 »
At least they were at the Zirndorf Funpark yesterday.

Here are the two small diorama from the shop. Enjoy!

Personally I think the castles DO look brilliant, but what they have to offer for customizers or builders sure remains to be seen.

Agreed, so few real-world castles are pure squares or rectangles, it's nice to see an irregular shapes for castle.

I think the castles will be extendable (with official add-on extension sets) and therefore customisable, but it won't be nearly as easy as it is with Steck or System X, and there won't be any option to build upwards as there is with Steck.

The curved outer walls are a great improvement.  Thanks for the pictures, Simon.  :wave:

Yes! Yes! Yes! Just in time for my birthday  :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

The only problem now is: my wife forbade me from going to the funpark before the big day, just in case I buy something that's already been bought to me by a member of my family.

Out of curiosity - the last big castle (system X), was there an expansion pack for it? Cause even though I prefer steck, I would still buy one of these if it were possible to add more walls and towers to it.

@Bolingbroke and Martin Milner:there is at least one add-on for the new castles. It only adds one length of wall, BUT, if you look closely at the side opposite the double-doors: there is a second storey there, which means you CAN build upwards, doesn't it?  :yippee:
Martin, I agree with you, this non-too square shape is a great step towards reality.

Cheers.

There were three expansion sets for 3268 - Knights' Empire Castle

and these were: 7758 - Wall Extension for Knights` Empire Castle

7761 - Tower Extension for Knights' Empire Castle

7836 - Wall Extension B for Kings Castle

And this is for the new castle, I presume. Not much in the way of customizing, but it's still better than nothing, I would say. Thanks for the info, I'll check the links out ... NOW  ;D

(I should be doing something else this morning, but I just don't feel like it).
