I noticed these too. The Knight one seems cool. I don't use cannons in my setups, but it's nice to have a cool set with a cart, training dummy, weapon rack, and mounted knight. :) Unfortunately, I think the Princess set suffers from tahra's problem of pink boats. :lol: The figures look great, but the pink and purple boat and dock are too much...

A real shame, is it not? :(

I'll probably get the knights and fairy ones though   ::)

It is, since a lot of the boats would be awesome in real wood colours. The old Magic theme was great for that. Unfortunately, I don't have any of it though. :lol:

not too fond of the tournament set.

Both the knight's shield and the horse barding dont look very medieval to me, not a fan of that helmet design either. (it should have two openings for the eyes, not one big one.)

Not sure why they have to throw in yet another cannon, they do that with most medieval sets it seems. Would have been better to have included a tent or second jousting knight. 

The kid and the shield on the combat dummy look nice though.

I agree with a lot of what you said, Rhalius. The opening on that helm is why I use the sugarloaf type helm more than it. It does look a bit weird. And a tent or pavilion would have been awesome. Hopefully we'll get another one of those some day.

I've got to admit looking at all of those sets it's the kids which really stand out to me on all the sets they all look decnt sized sets though, anyone else noticed the spinning windows style feature on the Firemans set a bit different. Gotta agree on the Knights set though the fact that you've got a weapons rack, a training dummy, and 2 Knights one on horseback is good the actual design is a bit well neh  :-\

Yeah, the purple dock is just too much... absolutely crazy! 8}

But I love the fireman set! Absolutely adorable.

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 really like the fact the sets have children in them.

I wish they would have made them more "anniversary" ish - (maybe olde sets with new figures in (olde accessories) or olde/original sets with all new figures and components).

I think the only one we will be getting will be the Princess set.
