Vikings!
« on: August 04, 2011, 23:30:47 »
I sure do wish I was collecting when the Vikings were on the shelves.  Just grabbed these off ebay.  Both sets are complete but without boxes.



The vikings are going to fit good with the wolves of Melnibone!

Those are some nice sets, Elric! I'm also a little disappointed that I wasn't aware of the Vikings when they came out either. Those look like some excellent finds!

I think the Viking sets are really cool. :)
I wish I had grabbed them while they were one the shelves too.

Excellent looking sets! :)9

They are both great sets.  I wish they would have lasted longer in the catalogue.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

I have been eyeing the longboat for awhile but finally got one after seeing five of them in Grangel's setup.

Awesome sets.

This is one of the things I have really been struggling with lately.  Our pirate collecting is on hold until the new sets come out in 2012. In the meantime we got our first (System-X, please hold the boos, I quite like it) castle and both the boy and I have fallen in love with Dragonland. Do I have room in my life (and on my shelves) for a Viking longboat and/or longhouse?

Sigh, why wasn't I collecting in 2003?

Congratulations, the Vikings are a great series. My longboat has been on continual display since I got it in 2004

You must mean the Dragon Castle (3269).  I have three of these and they are made in such a way that you can combine them to make bigger castles.  I really like it. 

The other system X castle (Lion) is not customisable like that. 

The only complaint I have about the vikings is that the logs used for the "longhouse" are completely undetailed!  They are link brown oblong shapes, not logs.  They really could have moulded a LOT of detail into them to make it even better.  It might be a toy, but kids don't need to have simple and crude.
