More good news for Castle folks!

Based on the results of the www.LEGO.com/myOpinions survey, I would like to
announce that the 2nd place winner is now also a LEGO Legend!

The Black Falcon's Fortress is available as of today in Europe, and will
available for pre-order in the US!

Check out the product at:

You voted, and your choices and voices were heard!

Play Well!

  Re: Black Falcon's Fortress is back!
 
I am curious what happened to the BSB? Is there a reason the 2nd place set is going to market first? "Jake McKee" <jacob.mckee@america.lego.com> wrote in message news:H3D58B.FBt@lugnet.com... (...) to (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.castle)

(...) I'm really feeling this. I just wanted to say thanks, that after Lego Castle officially died, us castle-heads have got the Guarded Inn, the Blacksmith's Shop, and now Black Falcon's Fortress. Not even to mention some of the other great things (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.castle)
  Re: Black Falcon's Fortress is back!
 
(...) Jake, this is great news, but many of us are left with some question: 1) Why did this set hit the shelves in Europe before you told us about it? Many of us pondered a mysterious Kmart add and speculated, then 1000stiene suddenly had pictures. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.castle)
  Re: Black Falcon's Fortress is back!
 
(...) Yesssss!!! I can't believe it! Finally! Alright, for all of you who thought I'd continue complaining even if I got what I wanted, too bad. None from me here. This is all bliss. Anyway, thanks Jake for bringing back a true legend to lego.com. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.castle)
  Re: Black Falcon's Fortress is back!
 
Hmmmm.... Should I buy 10039 Black Falcon's Fortress, a beautifully designed set that I can build many alternative models from, for $39.99, or buy 6091 King Leo's Castle, a....um....set, for $89.99. Hmmmm..... This could take me a while. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.castle)
  Re: Black Falcon's Fortress is back!
 
What about Australia? We have no price listed at the moment, and this is one set that I will surely get, especially with the now-lowered shipping costs. Will this set come to the land of Oz?? (...) (22 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.castle)

(...) 421 instead of 435 in the Lugnet database for 6074? Wrong count in the database or will we have combined brick in the new set? (22 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.castle)

(...) snip (...) snip Yes, I agree, this is good news, but . . . . Will this set be available in the SHOPS in New Zealand ?

  Re: Black Falcon's Fortress is back!
 
Well I just got one thing to say. THANK YOU! The Black Falcon's Fortress is probably the best castle that Lego has come out with, certainly in terms of bricks for your buck (or in this case, your pound), and those Black Falcons figs are just the (...)

  Re: Black Falcon's Fortress is back!
 
(...) This is the set I selected during the voting so you can imagine that I am well pleased at this turn of events. I'll probably buy several of these sets just as I did of the GI -- actually, I may buy even more of this set because it includes (...) (22 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.castle)
