Don't buy this set expecting it to be an expansion to a pre-existing playset. This set's pictures make it look like it features a new level that can attach to the Ramparts of Ryousan set. Some Mega Bloks boxes and catalogues even advertise this idea. In fact, it is a hollow box (sealed on all sides) that only looks like a piece of a castle, and which can rest on (not attach to) the upper levels of that set. I have no idea why that would be a selling point to anyone.

So if you're not buying this for the box, then what makes this set worth buying? While it's true that the new Metal Ages sets don't really come with enough of the new Norvak and Odaku figures to stage a propper battle, obtaining two more from this set doesn't seem like it would be worth $5.99 to me. You can also get that cannon in any number of other sets (including a slightly different version in Ramparts of Ryousan) and that random chunk of wall with a flag and torch seems more like filler than anything that would be remotely fun, either on its own or attached to another set. Save your money. This one's a waste.

There isn't much building involved with this set, it comes with two figures. The building is the same box all the parts come in, so you can basically use it as a storage container. For the price it was worth it to me since my son enjoys these little figures, he combines them all to form a gigantic army. It doesn't have any educational value really and with a little super glue it's pretty durable!!
