Customer Review: Boys 6 and 9 love it
The boys spent a whole day and built it all. They worked hard on it and challenged themselves to get it built in a day. As it is built in discrete parts each section was rewarding. They now enjoy playing with it.
Customer Review: Not Your 1980s LEGO Castle
LEGO castles have been produced roughly every other year since the early 1980s and most of them have a trait that this one lacks: a base plate. That being said, I think that LEGO took the Castle series in a new direction with this move. Until this set, LEGO always released their castles on solid base plates with hills and valleys, making the castles seem formidable, while being constructed with less pieces and remaining static in nature. The new 2008 castle leaves the entire base on solid ground with detachable corners and walls and a removable tower, making the entire set far more variable, expanding play and display tremendously.
