Hello!



FUT set to castle although arguably vikings predate most castle stuff. There is
some discussion at eb already about where these fit and why LEGO decided to do
them.

I say the Vikings are both Pirates and Castle because the Vikings were Pirates
(robberers comming over the sea) in Castle times. They are the link between the

I guess LEGO decided to do them because Playmobil did Vikings, and they are a
big suuccess for Playmo. I hope they will be a success for LEGO, too, but I have
no doubts they will.


Bye
Jojo
