On a side note, are EB and Brickset related sites? They seem to be lumped together quite often, like username just did.

I expect we won't see anything concrete until at least May or June. Sets are usually released a bit early, but we still have four months until August. It's not as if the collectable minifigs have hit store shelves yet and aren't they supposed to have a June release date?

The new castle sets are coming; just not as fast as we'd like them to.

The first thing that will show up on the shelves should be the promo sets and the battle packs. I would expect them in lego stores by June at the latest.

It is nice to see the new pictures of the sets. They are much larger and much less fuzzy as well. I love the archer type torso for the dragon knights. I wish that torso was present in the battle packs.

I haven't heard anything about battle packs for the new line. Is this confirmed? Battle packs are excellent, especially if they'll include some of the great helms and dark pearl grey weapons.

Nobody has really confirmed it, but somebody found pictures on EuroBricks of Kingdoms battle packs.

The pictures of the battle packs looked to be preliminary but not confidential so I think they are not against the site TOS. I have gotten word that they will be released before the main release of the sets. Even though I have found this very reliable it is not official information.

As far as I can tell, the original source for the battle pack images which have recently been floating around is from this site. Unless I see something official from TLG, I believe the images are strictly from the imagination of an eager fan.

New shield designs.
Talking about shape or color?
If color, then ok, but if shape, please redirect me, because I can not find it...
