great army builder and cool catapult.
I got this set in 2006 in Denmark, Billund I guess. It is almost 6 years ago I bought it, but I still love this set. I have all the vikings sets, except the chess set. I am trying to get that too. You get 6 common vikings and 1 who leads them in battle. There is no enemy in this set, and I do think that is a problem. You get 7 minifigs and a large catapult for about €30, and I don't think that is too expensive. If you like the vikings series and you don't have it yet, please get this set, because you get a lot vikings in this set. The only downside is that there is no enemy in this set, but if you have other viking sets, you have a lot of enemies. It is a good extension to the large catapult in set 7021, wich comes with a large dragon.
Overall this is a good set, not too expensive, great minifigs.

Fantastic!
This set still holds as one of my all-time favortie sets. The double automatic firing is great and one of the best parts. The huge army of vikings defintiely makes this a set worth getting. A nice touch would be if there were horses or some creature pulling the wagon, but nothing seriously wrong here. An enemy would be nice too, but when you have all the Viking sets (like myself) this is amazing. One of my best purchases to date, unfortunately, these are no longer available through retail and are overpriced, but if you can pick one up cheap, buy it!

one of the best sets i every purchased
okay, well a couple years ago (around the time that viking sets were being taken off the shelves) i found this set in an out of the way KBtoys outlet. it was $15-20 USD, and i was amazed! this set comes with so many people for the price i got it for, it was unbelieveable!
If you can find this set for <$20 buy it!1 out of 4 people thought this review was helpful.
Attack of the Vikings!
This is one of the many sets that I own that now lies in a bin of LEGOs. Although I demolished this set quite a while algo, I still remember some really cool parts on this set.
PROS
- 1. Cool parts
- 2. Uses brown elements, which I haven't seen done in many other non-Viking sets
- 3. Missile system is an awesome touch
- 4. Has cool design
- 5. Looks great
- 6. ENORMOUS amount of minifigures for its price
- 7. Lots of accesories, and a pair of goblets complete with treasure
CONS
1. Overpriced (I was thinking $20.00-$30.00)
2. The things that push down the triggers to fire the missiles flip without doing anything a lot
3. Minifigures easily flip if the thing isn't on the ground
4. Minifigures are dragged along the floor when moving (On carpet)
So in other words, If you're looking for a set with a ton of minifigures with cool helmets, buy this one, but NOT if you're looking for something well priced.

Backup is on the way!
Got this set the Christmas of '06, let's break it down.
Building - Simple and fast. No really confusing parts. 10/10
Accessories - Tons, you've got shields, swords, axes, wine glasses, etc. It has a really good amount. 10/10
Minifigures - Not very many rare ones unless you consider the golden helmet one. Otherwise, the minifigures are a great addition to your viking horde. 10/10
Playability - This is where it starts to fail. Although it's really cool, this set is only good if you have a enemy (Dragon or Creature). Standing alone, there's only so much you can do with it. 7.5/10
Price - Average. For about $30 (USD) for 312 pieces, you get a good average of around 10? (USD) per piece. 10/10
PROS:
- Tons of Minifigs w/ accessories
- Double launcher is amazing
- Front is detachable
- The price is right
CONS:
- Wish there was a place in the back of the wagon for every viking to ride without pushing.
- No enemy
This set is a great 9.5!
In conclusion, get this set if you have a dragon waiting for it.8 out of 8 people thought this review was helpful.
