This is the first set i bought for about 8-9 years! I was ashamed and i felt much of pressure from other people that LEGO is for kids only. Finally i said SCREW YOU all and i bought one for myself on my birthday. I am not disappointed. Building this thing was amazing. Lego quality really changed over the years. The only thing i am mixed is the Figures. When i like two guards - the blacksmith is a bit meh. There should be 5-6 figures. Also i agree about the details in the towers BUT this is LEGO! They just give You space to add something own :)

This is very close to old, 90s sets in more ways than one! - The back is enclosed. Yes! - There are more than one builds suggested, and better than in the old days, they give you instructions for other ones. Yes!!! - There's a... Reasonable number of figures included. - It's not locked in to a particular theme, story or license. - There's a vast amount of play area. - There are brick-built creatures! - There are side builds. Can't believe we've come to this. - It folds out! And in what it's different, there are pretty much only good things... - It's intercompatible with itself and many other sets. - It's a good value!

If you stick the chalice at the top of the tower, you can pretend that it’s a Grail Shaped Beacon. Also, keeping with LEGO’s propensity towards somewhat dark humor in castle sets, there’s actually a treasure chest with some body parts hidden under the staircase in the windmill build, for those wondering where the skeleton was in that alternate model.

Great review, Jang. A few things vs that I really appreciate about the set: • Love the mouse holes that are consistent through the 3 builds for the small brick built mouse from the main build. • The dragon/wyvern evokes the old green dragon from the 90s in color/scale. • Nods to the old sets with things like the rock entrance to the Forestmen hideout, the trebuchet being referred to as a catapult, the armor shop, the yellow colors being reminiscent of the Black Falcon castles of old and more. One thing I love about what this does, and the Creator line in general does, is encouraging modification and customization. I am biased though as I love classic castle and this set hits me in the nostalgia bones hard.

Overall great build with lots of opportunity for play which is exactly what a set like this should be. 10 yo me would've been playing with this for hours upon hours.

My issues with this set basically boils down to aspects from it being a creator line set.

The castle is complete, not just a thin front wall like many LEGO sets, quite many details here and there, and the scale is quite acceptable, if I put 10 minifigures into, it would look like a busy castle. Although I am generally not satisfied with LEGO prices (at all), they sell much simpler kits for more money.

I feel this is (almost?) as good as last years 3in1 pirate ship. The A build, the full castle looks excellent. Not the dull grey blob most older castles made. And combined with the B and C build it looks fantastic (but 300 bucks is a lot for that). The 'almost as good' is because the B and C build are more dependent on combining them with the A build to make them look really good. I loved the alternate builds from the Pirate set on their own. But I would like to get into building a castle, and one or even two of these sets might make a great parts-set to start with.
