Castle Naval Contingent

[Draykov]

Castle ships. It's been done before (see below). Some of the more recent "bad guy" boats got me thinking that it's been a while since we've seen a "good guy" faction with the ability to set sail. I got to wondering if anyone else felt similarly, so I created this poll.

1547 Black Knight's Boat


6057 Sea Serpent


1804 Crossbow Boat


6017 King's Oarsmen


6018 Battle Dragon


8821 Rogue Knight Battleship


8801 Knight's Attack Barge


7029 Skeleton Ship Attack


7048 Troll Warship

I voted "Other" because I can't really say we're "due" for a castle ship big or small, what with Brickbeard's new ship and the Imperial Armada Flagship and the fact that the current line doesn't lend itself entirely well to boats. However, if the chance comes up, they could certainly go for it. Maybe you could sum up my feeling as I don't particularly care whether it comes or not, but would be happy to see it when it happens.

A Byzantine Dromon would be nice.

Or a Hanseatic cog - most castle ships were nothing more than converted merchant ships.

Even some small fishing boats or something like the small boats at the top of your post. Battle Dragon is still my favourite, and one of my earliest castle sets of the few that I have.

I would like to see more ships in the Castle line up. Maybe not a line up of nothing but ships. Probably more like only 1 or 2 in each wave. I like ships of all sizes, but I would really like to see more ships along the lines of the Sea Serpent. Maybe just a little larger. On that scale they can be small cargo ships or small troop transports. Plus they would be cheap enough to acquire in numbers. I like the larger ships like the Troll Warship if they are meant to be ships for battle. Of course, the smaller boats have a level of nostalgia attached. All in all, I would like to see more ships in Castle. As a side note, if we see any more ships with sails it would be nice to continue the trend of having some type of faction symbol on them.

The ships are up there with my favorite parts of the castle theme and I have all of those but two. The fantasy ere ones were amazing, I wish I had bought two troll warships. They should re release the sea serpent that was my favorite set as a kid. I havent heard anything about castle 2011 sets, does anyone know if there will be any?

Byzantine...yes but more specifically we need a whole ancient conquerers line. How about a theme based on the cultures of the Mediterranean Sea. This way we all would be happy! Phoenecian trading ship, Athenian war ship, heck I would be so happy if we finally saw anything Egyptian(Yes we are close to this), Spartan(LEGO is teasing us with this one), Roman, Persian, Roman, Nubian, did I mention Roman?!? It drives me crazy that because Playmobil makes them, LEGO decides not to?!? It may have been answered before but why oh why no Roman line? A Roman ship would be so cool.
Roman ships: Roman Ship Classes Then a theme based on the cultures of Asia would most definitely have to include the many variations of naval ships of these cultures. A Korean turtle ship for one would be cool!
