These prototypes look amazing. If this is what is going to come out, I'd be happy. They look like the sets I never had. I barely have any castle lego besides KK2. This would give me something to build on. A decent close-enough to being a Classic-castle army. The crown heraldry is a lot better than monkeys and jellybeans. Hopefully they'll keep it this way.

Either way, if show @ home put up all the sets online for pre-sale right now I'd be whipping out the plastic. I'll be purchasing at least one of each of these sets. They look awesome and really spark some creativity that I'm to explore.
*groan* I don't want to wait half a year for these...
Ben, Rayhawk, anyone 'in the know'...when do these sets come out?
For the first time... in a very long time. I may just buy every set associated with this line.... Scratch that. I may buy more than just every set associated.
Mmm.. skeletal armies that don't have wave-in-the-air- arms.

I must say that this is definitely an improvement on the KKII. However, I think that things can get better. I would equate this as a world-class athlete (being the old LEGO), suffering a debilitating injury (KKII), and now going through rehab (potential new castle line). Let's hope he makes a full recovery!

He already has. In 2005 and last year, I think we got some of the best Castle sets ever - 8877, 7019, 8813, the chess sets and 10176 were all very impressive and well-designed sets with good minifigs, IMO. I think the wounds caused by the Fright Knights and possibly KK1/KK2.1 have already been healed, and this grand new Castle line is just continuing the brilliance. Here's to a good future for Castle!
I don't know if this is an official "independant" source or the pic from
the Czech website. Just thought I would add another place to see the
future castle set.
This line was just "discovered", so to speak– to my knowledge, the big castle set is the only one that has a picture publicly available, leaked or otherwise. Other sets and images are added to Brickset as they're obtained: can't have images of something you don't have images of yet.
We really, really, really, need a "jaw-dropping" emoticon!
