New: Lego vikings & fantasy monsters

What is this "lego", you all are talking about

You must have had cheap parents when you were a kid.

What is this "lego", you all are talking about

The gnome deity of construction.

As someone who, at the age of 7, wrote a letter to LEGO suggesting that they make some Vikings sets, I think it goes without saying that this news makes me very happy

Yes, but as you're only 8 years old now, Lego were developing the viking line well before they got your letter.

A fair and valid point

The adage must be true: You are only as old as youu feel you are.

I just received my Lego AT-AT and spent the evening assembling it. I hadn't purchased a new Lego set since I was like eleven, twenty years ago or so. I'm really happy with it. It's astounding what they've done with it. I'm happy it's comprised of mostly small pieces. I didn't care much for those big-but-only-good-for-the-original-design-pieces that they had started using in their sets for awhile. They completely defeated the point of legos IMHO. Now I'm going to go and stomp all over those rebel scum with my AT-AT.

I thought you guys built houses out of them.

No wounds here. I order from Lego Shop-At-Home all the time, and it has been confirmed that they will be available there. So I'll just be making a big purchase once they hit (and invariably, go on back order...)

Just a 'heads up':
I looked at the US and UK Shop at Home sites. It doesn't appear that the vikings are available in the US. However, they are in the UK. Of course, the US situation might change.

I was hoping for Captain Caveman/Mightor type caveman hijinks for the Dino Attacks, not this Beyond Thunder(lizard)Dome stuff. Looks like I may be doing shop at home for the Viking stuff (I especially like the historically accurate AA ballistae mounted on the longboats).
So let's see Lego knights, spacemen, scuba guys, ninjas, pirates, and now vikings. Crossing my fingers for the announcement to be LEGO Great Old Ones and non-Euclidean bricks.
