All LEGO Stores ship except for Cincinnati and Honolulu.
Is this something they've always done? You can just call up the store and they can pull something off the shelf and ship it?
Yep.

No it's not something they have always done.

It seems so, I have never tried it, but most stores now do. Some, rightfully, say no because I think it's quite insane.

These sets are exactly what I was hoping for. They are absolutely brilliant and detailed. This is such a right step in the direction I would like to see this line of Castle go.

Also I have never heard of the LEGO stores actually shipping from the store. That does sound insane.

I thought we were talking about shipping sets to the store (ones that are online but not at the store).

These look really great. I would collect this line, however, I don't like the main castle. It just seems a little bland.

But I really like these little sets. Great work.

The price (which may be wrong / changed) for Kingdoms is $10 for the smallest set (I think that's wrong) and $70 for the farm, which is awesome. The City Farm (which wasn't awesome) was $20 more years ago, so I think that's a great middle ground price.

Prices...

Aah, thanks, I totally misread that. That's sounds a bit more sane :)

i find it slightly strange that there is a lack of royal knights in the sets...but I welcome the peasants.
hopefully there will be a strong enough sales to generate a third wave

7189 Mill Village Raid looks great, and will probably be the only set of this wave I'll be getting.
Although am contemplating the King's Carriage Ambush, will have to wait and see it in person to decide.

The only thing that could make this series better is if they added a large $100+ Dragon Knight Fortress (with new raised baseplates). However, I feel that the peasants are the most important part of the Kingdom line. So I would not give up any peasants for something else unless they are Elves!

Hopefully LEGO does a beautiful Elf subtheme in 2012 or 2013. We need a grand white palace, a tree hide out, council circle, and ceremonial temple. They can be pitted against goblins.

WIth the elf CMF would not be surprised for Elves in next year or so.

I would love an Elf subtheme. But a large fortress over 100 dollars? We're getting one from Ninjago already, and while raised baseplates would be nice, they just make it a lot more expensive.

I think LEGO was planning ahead. The first year the royal knights outside the dragon minifigures, so this year they added more dragons to even it out.

been a while seen i have seen raised baseplates. but the dragons do deserve something better than the tower. if they re-made the 1996 original dragon knight fortress with the current dragon troops. that would be worth buying.

I can only imagine how awesome a $200 castle would be!

If they did a $200 castle then I would want a complete castle, not just a bigger one. I'm talking dining hall, armory, stable, etc. Even if they were just small additions, the 'castles' they put out are entirely lacking in realistic castle accompaniments. Any castle without 1. a stable 2. armory 3. keep 4. storeroom 5. gatehouse 6. chapel and 7 a lot more, is just lacking entirely.

Agreed, so I just made my own... albeit, it was a little more than $200 :twisted:

I really like all of the new sets, particularly all the new pieces. I hope to see more of the same.
