Knights Kingdom

My 8 year old boy just told me what he thinks is the coolest toy around right now. Knight's Kingdom. That's a new one to me.

LEGO® Knights Kingdom - Mistlands Tower
Deep in the heart of Morcia rises the ancient and magical Mistlands Tower…and Lord Vladek and his Rogue Knights want its power for themselves! It’s up to King Jayko and his brave knights to hold their ground and defend the tower! Use the tower’s traps and dungeon to stop the attackers if you can, but watch out for their launching catapult! If the mysterious blacksmith can re-forge the Shield of Ages in time, our heroes just might be able to save the kingdom! Tower stands over 14" (36cm) tall! Includes King Jayko, Lord Vladek, Sir Adric, Karzon, Blacksmith and skeleton minifigures. Ages: 7-14 Manufacturer: Lego

I checked that out. Turns out it is another brilliant creation by Lego.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Volume 4--Daze of Hate, Knights of Suffering TPB
Zayne Carrick joins forces with the same Masters who murdered his fellow Padawan in a desperate attempt to save the galaxy from the Mandalorians! Arkanian Lord Adasca holds the Republic and the Mandalorians hostage, offering a weapon of unrivaled power to the highest bidder, and not even Zayne and his former Master Lucien Draay can stop Adasca from unleashing unthinkable devastation in pursuit of profit. Then, back on Taris, Zayne finds himself allied with Master Raana Tey in a mission against the marauding Mandalorians--but Tey may be more interested in destroying Zayne than she is in saving the planet! * A great starting point for anyone interested in following the Star Wars saga beyond the films.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #22--Knights of Suffering part 1
The new story arc, "Knights of Suffering" begins here, bringing fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick back to Taris-the scene of his alleged crime, now overrun by the Mandalorian army! Deep in the lower city of Taris, swoop bike gangs battle Mandalorian troops in the streets. An organized resistance to the invasion was taking shape thanks to an old friend of Zayne's, but something went terribly wrong. Reunions and betrayals follow Zayne into the heart of a war zone in this action-packed new issue of Knights of the Old Republic ! * Continuing the ongoing monthly series set nearly four thousand years before the rise of the Empire and the fall of Anakin Skywalker (and seven years prior to the events in the Knights of the Old Republic video game). Reunions, betrayals, and more in this action-packed issue!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #23--Knights of Suffering part 2
Fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick left Taris vowing to catch his murderous Masters before they caught him. Now, he's returned--only to find the planet under siege by Mandalorian invaders. And there's someone else waiting for him--who's about to turn the tables on all his plans! Nearly alone in a war zone, Zayne is surrounded by enemies. Some want him brought to justice. Others want the bounty on his head. And the Mandalorians just want the whole planet! And when even friends become enemies, he finds himself at the mercy of someone who has no mercy--one of his former Masters! Building toward the culmination of the yearlong "Days/Knights" sequence, the long-awaited return to Taris also includes several familiar faces from the Knights of the Old Republic video games!

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #24--Knights of Suffering part 3
Zayne Carrick's murderous masters have hunted him halfway across the galaxy. Now, his run ends with him cornered in the very place where it began-in the Jedi Temple of Taris, the current headquarters of invading Mandalorian leader Cassus Fett! Zayne's escaped before-with help from his friends and the Force-but not this time! His only choice is to fight for his life, in mortal combat with his far more talented teacher! It's the shattering conclusion to the yearlong "Days/Knights" sequence-and not everyone makes it out alive! The Knights of the Old Republic series-will never be the same again!

This is where your kids can create their own world of knights, the forces of good against evil.. the works.
