Description

Story first, scenery second

Many castle sets are about walls and towers, but this one is about a journey. Prisoners are being moved from one place to another, and someone has to guard them. At 116 pieces the build is quick and uncomplicated, which makes it a good way into classic castle play or a handy addition to a fortress you already own. A cart and a few figures are all it takes to set up a rescue, an ambush or a simple escort mission.

Four minifigures, plenty of roles

Four minifigures is a generous number for a set of this size. Guards and prisoners give you obvious roles to play with, and mixing them with figures from other castle sets lets you invent new rivalries. For collectors, the figures are also a snapshot of mid-1980s design, when faces and costumes were still wonderfully simple. If you like to display older sets, this one fits easily on a shelf without taking much room.

A palette of blue, black, white and brown

The main colours are blue, black, white and brown, which suit the Lion Knights well. Brown and black cover the wooden and ironwork details, while blue and white give the figures and equipment their identity. Across 40 different part types the set mixes ordinary bricks with specialised elements for the cart, the gear and the minifigures. The parts list on this page shows each element with its quantity and colour, so checking a used set for missing pieces is straightforward.

Getting more from the bricks

Sets from 1985 often turn up loose, without instructions and sometimes incomplete. Use the parts list to compare what you have against what the set should contain, and track down any gaps. If you would rather not rebuild it at all, the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria can suggest other models from the parts you own. That way even a set that is more than forty years old can find a second life in your collection.
