At first glance, the sets look interesting. They do look like KK & KK II combined with Castle. I like the new swords. I'm glad that the "knights" have breastplates. Its nice to see that they've brought back the visored helm (my favorite design), the grille helm, and the great helm from...

This is interesting and surprising news. Though I have to admit, I'm not really that surprised with all the pervious licensed themes that LEGO has released. LEGO versions of Middle Earth should be interesting. I'll defintely collect the sets that I like.

Looks Awesome!!

Those prototype pictures looked really cool. Very interesting to see a Crusader knight with ovoid shield and those looked like great helms on the knights in the Loch Ness Castle set.

The 2011 Kingdom sets look pretty good. The mill village is really neat. It is nice to see more civilian sets in LEGO Castle. King's Carriage Ambush definitely needs for more knights. Escape from Dragon's Prison is cool because the Dragons actually get a mount knight. The new weapons in the blacksmi...

Both castles look impressive. Definetly will have to go to Arkansas and France someday in the next twenty years to see and tour them.

Nice MOC. I am reminded of the conversation in World of WarCraft between an Alliance soldier named Private Molsen and "Buckets" Cleary. The dialougue can be found here:

I haven't come up with a name for the Dragons, but I have chosen to call the Lions the Golden Lions.

Great review!! I can't wait for the Kingdoms sets to come out.

Mine would be:
1. King's Castle Siege
2. Black Falcon's Fortress
3. The Final Joust

Cool sets. I like the archer set.

Awesome photos!! Love the breastplates and bardings for the horses.

King's Castle looks great from the back. Much like 6080. Might need to buy 6080 someday to compare to 7946. I'm excited that the king has a breastplate piece. The second minifigure series looks interesting with a vampire and either Roman or Greek soldier.

Yeah, when I look at the Kingdoms sets I get the feel of an Crusaders/Royal Knights and Black Knights/Dragon Masters mixed with Knights' Kingdom and Fantasy Castle. I too have noticed no bows in the sets just crossbows. I am also hoping that the shield emblems aren't stickers either.

Peeron.com has a good selection of scanned instructions in their database for older sets.
