LEGO Castle Mania: Limited-Time Special

 


Lion Knights' Castle 10305 | LEGO® ICONS™ | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop CA

Some great news for fans of the Castle LEGO theme!

I won't go into the details (as the LEGO website offers great description and product images) though there is a big (nay, huge) set coming up in August: Lion Knights' Castle [10305]. This set is in celebration of their '90 Years of Play.'

Without a doubt, the most ardent of LEGO fans and collectors already know about this immense set. It is also quite pricey, though considering the size (piece count and amount of mini-figures) it is a great set and value for your money.


LEGO Forest Hideout (40567) GWP Rumored to Return in August - The Brick Fan

What was also just announced, and you may want to act fast on this one, is that on the LEGO site, the free promo if you spend $X (price varies by what region you're in) you'll receive a Forest Hideout [40567] set. Now, the amount that you'd to spend to get that promo set is definitely covered in the price of the Castle (it works out to be approx 1/4 of the Castle's price tag). This special is on for June 15 - 22 so act fast if you're interested in getting it. As you can see, the style of the mini-figures 'matches' that of the Castle. What I mean is, both include the Forest People faction, and the design style is identical.

To somewhat recap, here are the other Castle-themed sets that are currently being made and sold (as 'new', not via marketplace or other sellers, such as eBay).


Medieval Castle 31120 | Creator 3-in-1 | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop US

Medieval Castle [31120], as part of the 3-in-1 Creator series


LEGO Ideas Medieval Blacksmith 21325 Toy Building Kit (2,164 Pieces) | Walmart Canada

Medieval Blacksmith [21325], as part of the Ideas series (Note: this one is on back-order in some places. Unsure if they're restocking, or if it's approaching 'retirement') 


Fire Dragon 31102 | Creator 3-in-1 | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop CA

Fire Dragon [31102], as part of the 3-in-1 Creator series (this one appears to be officially retired, though still may be found at the odd retailer here and there. If you see it, grab it!)

There are a few other sparodic appearances, such as some Castle-themed figures popping up in the mini-figure mystery bags over the years, as well as some previous LEGO website promo sets I've forgotten about.

EDIT / UPDATE:

I realized that given the dates of the Forest Hideout, as well as when the Castle comes out, it seems unlikely that you can't get both together. IE: for the Castle, there's no pre-order button yet.

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
