My four-year old boy absolutely loves this toy. He can easily manipulate the small figures and has spent hours moving them in and out of the secret passages and through the drawbridge.

We also have the Dragonmont Fortress (the "bad guys"). Both sets are very sturdy and durable. He leans on them, turns them around, pushes on the walls, and nothing has broken. As a bonus, the walls and parts of the buildings are interchangeable with the other Imaginext forts and castles. With a little practice, you can create far more than just the basic castle or fort.

This gift came in a timely manner and great condition. My grandson loved it and has spent hours playing with it. He especially enjoys the secret passage and shooting cannons.

Here's my theory of the Imaginext line: The initial sets were really cool with detailed painting, sturdy construction, heavy-duty plastic, etc. As the years went by, and Imaginext didn't sell, they just started recycling pieces from the old sets and repackaging them with new names. So the old Medieval sets were repackaged as "King Arthur." The pirate sets were repackaged as "Captain Hook." It seems like they've given up altogether on the construction worker sets. Now they only deal in dinosaurs, and the dino sets are mostly figures with very few of the large buildable playsets. Avoid these newer sets and try to find the older castle sets, most likely on Ebay or at a toy liquidator.

This cannot be played with. It looks nice, but as soon as you touch it, pieces fall off. I eventually had to use model plastic cemet to hold this toy together.
