I already typed extensive comments on Classic-Castle, so I'll be brief here.
It's basically Knights Kingdom Redux, with all the faults of the previous. The
jousting match annoys me with no shields, no horses, and no bardings. The big
castle is the open-airy design I don't much care for, but kids will undoubtedly
like (I'll buy two Black Falcon's fortress over this one). The smaller wizard's
lair thing has some potential. The two smaller sets I like. I'm not sold on
the candy-colored girly-knights, but at least there won't be a shortage of armor
anymore. I like the new open-faced helm and the roman-style shields. The new
closed helm is at least variety, but I have to see the real thing to decide. In
general, I'm not too hot on the funky colors and the continued Juniorization,
but I'm glad that there is a regular Castles line again, even if not in ideal
form. Not a single archer. Two horse total in all five sets, but at least they
are barded.
So, it will be nice additions to my minifig collection, and has some interesting
parts. I can put up with at least one of the bigger sets. Hopefully it will be
rounded out like the previous KK was with some smaller sets added on later.
