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.

These are already available in Europe, btw. Check some of the set pictures on Eurobricks.

BTW, you should really check out the new printed tile in the HP Durmstrang Ship set (also not yet available in the US but released in, I believe, Britain as an early release). Hmm, can’t find a picture of just the tile, but it’s in this pic. I can imagine those would be very helpful for the BT.

(...) Woah, that's awesome: a Torah scroll! Or any other ancient manuscript! That will come in mighty handy. Looks like I won't have to use (URL) this tile> quite so much anymore. Thanks for the tip! -Brendan (19 years ago, 22-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
