I’ve been away on vacation for a couple weeks and a little out of the loop. Does anyone know if/when the Viking line will be available in the US?

I searched for info on Lugnet but didn’t find much. The Brickfest 2005 keynote speech mentions the line being a Toys R Us exclusive, but no mention of when we can expect these sets in stores or on the Toys R Us / Amazon website.

I thought there was also the idea that the Viking line *would* be available to US customers via LEGO’s website, but sadly this does not seem to be the case. Are they available through the catalog maybe? Thanks for any help.

(...) Hey Brendan, I've got no official word, but the word from Brickfest (which I was not at, so this is second-hand) was that these will be in TRU stores in October. I still think they will also be available through S@H, so I think "TRU exclusive" (...) (19 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Brendan, As others have mentioned, the Vikings will be a TRU exclusive in October. Someone from Lego (I'm pretty sure it was Jake) said, during his presentation, that the Vikings would be available from S@H "by the end of the year". So I guess (...)

Thanks to everyone for the info on the Viking sets. Looks like I won't be able to put them on my wishlist for my birthday in early September, but I am certainly glad to hear that these sets *will* be available in the US. Because, you know, they're (...) (19 years ago, 21-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
