Reviews of new KK sets
Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 2:27 pm
Now that we have some clear pictures of the sets (thanks Jake! ), I can write a review of them all:
8770-8774: These sets are not worthy of a review :evil: :evil:
8777: I'm basing this review on this picture. This is probally my favorite set of the line, if it will be under $6. It's a decent army builder, and the purple is not as bad as barbie blue. Horses ae always welcome in small set and the barding looks cool too. Both figs appear to have new helmets and the black fig has black euro armor(!). There also appears to be a gold chrome great sword and a new roman shield.
8/10 -- I'll mostly likely buy multiple copies of this set.
8778: I'm basing this review on this picture. I really like this set, it appears of have some cool trap feature such as the bridge with spears and the boulder soccer ( ). Pieces look good (Brown BURP!) and the figs are great! I think the red knight is the best looking of jellybeans. The bad guy seems to have a new helmet, similar in design to Darth Vader's helm. The red knight also is wielding a new sword which might be in some light blue color.
7/10 -- I'll buy one at full price and more if on discount.
8779: This has got to be the worst set of the line. It doesn't even look like a good parts pack ! The only thing that caught my attention was the new horse face mask (what are those called), the rest of the set is empty and boring.
2/10 -- I'd buy it only in deep discount (75% off or more)
8780: Ugl, ugly, ugly! There are some parts in new colors here, but even that doesn't stop it from making this set really bad. As said before this set looks like a obsticle course, draw bridge, large snake, spinning axes... I noticed some decent parts, but some bad parts too, like the use of the Jack Stoned base plates. This set is an okay parts pack, that's all.
3/10 -- I'd buy it only in deep discount (75% off or more)
8781: You know, this set isn't half bad. Infact, it looks more like a castle than King Leo's! This castle once again if built on a CRAPP, but it pulls it off better than some previous castles. The bad guy to good guy is once again lope-sided, and four of those figs are the jellybeans! This castle does remind me of Harry Parter sets as in being very breezy, but again it looks better than the first KK's castle.
7/10 -- I'd only buy it at discount because my cash is low right now!
