Ok, I'll see your $0.02, and call!
4806 - (Bull) Mini Siege wagon
nothing too exciting, rather small, only 1 fig... But worth it if it's cheap
6026 - (RK2) Mini-tower w/king & soldier
Depending on cost, this might be worth it... Also depends on how the new wall
sections are. Most likely, I expect this is a skippable set, unless it's dirt
cheap.
6032 - (Bull) Catapult
New catapult bucket looks intreuging, as well as the inverse black arches.
Again, only 1 fig :(
6091 - (RK2) The big castle
Very cool looking. I don't like the decorated baseplate (it looks rather
silly), but the hanging flags, the lion carvings, the princess, the stained
glass window, the old-school light grey axes, the dark grey (I think) castle
wall sections, the brown drawbridge, the extreme blue slopes, and door?(on
the far right of the pic) will make it a definite buy. I just hope it's
reasonably priced
6094 - (RK2) Jailhouse/Sword? house
Actually, I like this set. the rounded window w/ lattice (and hopefully not
just red like in 6097!) is enough for me to want it... plus it comes with two
figs (1 from each 'team'), brown? "guns" (on the jailcell, as torches), the
new lion carvings, the extreme light grey slopes, and of course the extreme
blue corner slopes.
6095 - (RK2) Jousters w/ spinning target
Definite potential. 3 figs, lion carvings, and old-style axes. Looks like it
could be very worth it.
6096 - (Bull) Siege Weapons Arsonal
Very impressive looking-- but very little in the way of "must have!". It's
got 3 figs, so depending on cost, might be of worth... if those are indeed
BLACK chains, that's a big plus... and again, it's got the new catapult
bucket and inverse black arches
WAGON? (p 16) -
Again, good potential.. I like the 1x6x2 arches in grey! I need more of
those... hopefully (if it's even a set) it'll come with more than just 1
minifig!
Overall:
Good parts. Good figs. Not enough figs. Not NEARLY enough figs! Mini-fig
pack? PLEASE! Sets LOOK a lot better than the last load of Fright Knights...
and I'd say it's about even match (in terms of style) with Royal Knights. I'd
really like to see more large structures though, other than just the castle...
And as for the new tower pieces... bleah! 6 studs wide was narrow enough! Do we
REALLY want them to be 4 wide? NO! Anyway, my $.02... ($0.026 if you're in
Canada)

| OK, with all the posts nitpicking the new sets, I though I'd add my .02 cents (making it like $3 laying around now... :) ). 6095: Cool looking training dummy. A king and some kind of boring throne (some nice pieces in it), two knights. Arms totals: (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)
