Vikings are definitely Castle. This line is based on mythology but the Vikings
played a huge part in trading/colonizing/raiding the western European countries
for which LEGOLAND Castle was likely based. They could easily be a subtheme or
faction, but they are definitely castle. I dont think we need a .castle.vikings
anymore than we would need a .castle.blackfalcons

It is not a hoax. Johannes Koehler talked to Jan Beyer and posted this at
Classic-Castle:
"According to Jan Beyer (the German Jake McKee) who attended the
1000steine-Meeting in Frechen last weekend, the Vikings are minifig scale."
The pieces will be great for pirates. Now if LEGO had only made monasteries to
raid...
