LEGO 10305 Icons Burg der Löwenritter, 22 Minifiguren, Jede Menge Details

Product Information

Reflecting her royal bloodline, she has an exclusive and unique torso and printed legs, which you can see beneath her armour. She also comes with a hairpiece and crown, to swap out her helmet.

The first set of instructions starts with building the first half of Lion Knight’s Keep. Each half can be clipped together to form a whole castle. The castle is designed in a way such that the castle can be closed to show the dense but detailed exterior or can be opened dollhouse style to display all the interior details. Bag 2 – Castle foundations and kitchen Lion Knights’ Castle will go on sale on 3 August 2022 for LEGO VIPs, and 8 August for everyone else, and will be available exclusively from LEGO.com or your local LEGO store.

Open the set up and you’ll find a beautifully detailed dollhouse-like interior, with more than ten rooms This set comes in a massive, tab-sealed box. Like the 40657 Forest Hideout, the styling leans heavily into retro theming and colors. The 90 years of play logo in the lower right is one of the few immediate indicators that you’re not looking at an actual vintage set. Well, that is if you ignore the glaring upgrades to this castle from the 1978 “All Yellow, All the time” concept.

When closed, the completed model measures over 14 in. (38 cm) high, 17 in. (44 cm) wide and 12 in. (33 cm) deep, but it grows significantly when you open it up to reveal the interior. As we start the second book of instructions, we begin the other half of the build we steer away from the living quarters and start building up the main militaristic base of command for Lion’s Knight’s Castle. Just like the first half of the castle this castle is built in a dollhouse style such that you can open it up to see all the details hidden within. Bag 14 – Dungeon foundations There is clever technique after clever technique, and so many cool things done for the sake of aesthetics that will blow your mind away. I am also delighted to see the return of horse barding, and I believe t his horse is also a new colour – appearing in dark orange for the first time.The shelf-appeal continues with some extra features on the side. There’s a nice blurb calling out some facts about the Castle theme, with a picture of 1978’s 375 Castle, 1987’s 6066 Camouflaged Outpost, and 2009’s 10193 Medieval Market Village. Build [5]– So many cool techniques, and you’re constantly building different things, keeping it fresh If unwelcome guests show up, the drawbridge can be raised, and you can also drop the portcullis which work beautifully and satisfyingly.

I had the honour of reviewing this set early, and as a fan of Vintage LEGO, and Classic Castle, this set was everything I dreamed of, and more, and just might be one of my favourite LEGO sets of all time. You’re treated to a walk down memory lane. If you’re a fan of Classic Castle, these sets that they’ve curated, detailing the evolution of LEGO Castles, from the original Yellow Castle, to Nexo Knights to the current 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle is a wonderful read.

I have to give this set a perfect 5 out of 5 score. This is everything my 8-year old self would’ve dreamed about having, and so much more.
