Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 from 171 reviews

This set was purchased to add to the Legos I already have in my grandkids' playroom. They have been using Lego City sets up until now so this one is something different and they love it!! One warning: the pieces are very small so assembly may require adult supervision for the younger age group. Legos are the best toys out there; they last forever and spark kids' imagination as they are so versatile!!! They are expensive though so I like to buy them when there is a rare price reduction or part of the "add on" program.

The Brick Fan

Recommendation: no 3 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Overall, the first return set for the Castle theme is an fairly decent one. The builds of the set are pretty sub-par but that's about what you would expect considering the amount of pieces you get. The cart is passable and the forest looks more like a bush. The set is pretty much an army building set with a good number of knights at a modest price.

The cart has two clips behind each wheel (one with flag, one free for holding a weapon) and two in front (one with a shield and one free for a weapon). The chest holds six 1x1 round "coin" tiles, one goblet, and three jewels that could be useful for creating a medieval stoplight (not that improved civil infrastructure would save our travellers from highwaymen such as these thugs).
