I'm not fond of adding a third human faction. Adding elves or dwarves again, ok. Bringing back orcs and trolls, sure. But I prefer the dragon knights to the lions, and don't need the waters any more muddied.

Man, if you want a nice and complete scene that surrounds the joust, you need like 4 of these sets. At first, I thought we need 2 sets (based on the previous "combined sets" image) which was still ok. But 4 sets is cracy!
I think two sets will do quite well. I don't see a need to two entryways. Move the king's stand to oppose the gate, and build some peasant grand stands to surround it and link to the rest of the set.

After looking at this picture... I don't think its even worth $120 USD / $150 CAD. Feels so empty in it. Just a bunch of random accessories, a gate and combining 7009 Final Joust set with part of a castle. If the price is lower, then I'll consider maybe buying it.
The castle is chock full of big stickered panels made for the 7-12 range. It looks in line with MMV, but I think MMV would also be a $120 set if it were released today. Too bad this won't be available from someone who might discount it.
although i would have liked it to be the other way round. the black falcons and black dragons have always been more interesting than the red lions. even the latest incarnation. too bad though. or perhaps they can introduce the new elves or new forestmen vs black falcons?
