4.0 out of 5 stars
Not Your 1980s LEGO Castle,
By
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: LEGO® Castle King's Castle Siege (Toy)
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.
Another error of some castles have been the reuse of the same "generic" castle minifigures, often available in other smaller sets. While this is still the case here, the use of more faces has expanded the available minifig combinations. The inclusion of the red evil dragon also creates a feeling of newness with this castle, while at the same time providing a valid enemy for the castle folk. Four skeletons reinforce this feeling of good vs. evil (hence Castle Siege!). Overall, I think that this is a very nice castle with many opportunities for expansion using other Castle sets and a level of variability not available since the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets castle. I would not consider it an advanced set, but it feels like a nearly complete set. The only criticism I really have is that the courtyard in the center of the castle feels very bare, much like Fort LEGOREDO in the late 1990s. Unlike LEGOREDO, however, there are many accessory sets that can help fill this space, especially the 2008 LEGO Advent Calendar (no longer available). Ultimately, I recommend this set for any fan of the LEGO Castle theme, but if you are seeking a castle like those of the 1980s and 90s, this will probably not satisfy you. This fortress is designed for a new age of LEGO Castles (II)!

This review is from: LEGO® Castle King's Castle Siege (Toy)
My son got King's Castle Siege for his 6th birthday and it has been a huge hit. It took him about 3 days to put it all together. He continue to play with it because there are tons of details that are interesting (he got this along with the Skeleton Prison Cage) -- skeletons with swords, knights, dragon, castle secret doors. He uses his action figures to play in the castle, now (Power Rangers, Batman).
This is one of the better Lego's he's gotten. He is an avid "Legoer" and has enjoyed the Star Wars legos in the past, and this is a great addition.

This review is from: LEGO® Castle King's Castle Siege (Toy)
My pre teen son absolutely LOVES working with this Lego set. It has allowed him to learn how to follow instructional diagrams and create his own building and fort designs. Although there seem to be a million little pieces, just make sure you have a storage bin for the extra pieces to go in as they make new types of figures. Great toy for the never ending imagination of creating great adventures!!
