It’s pretty hefty looking so it doesn’t immediately strike you as an afterthought to bump up the piece count. Oh and apparently, you need to have really bloodshot eyes to be a villain in Lego’s castle series.įirst up, you assemble this little rolling catapult contraption which looks great. The henchman also gets an alternate face, something that the wizard missed out on. I like the henchman’s back printing, with the leather straps tying his studded armour piece together. Oh, I also love his black Sensei Wu inspired beard.Īgain, more back printing. An amber flask housing a spider and a small skull, bones and a claw dangling from his belt rounds the wizard off nicely.
His staff is very well designed, managing to look extremely imposing – something that all Dragon Wizards should own. He’s got a black wizard hat with the dragon symbol stamped onto it, a flashy red cape that contrasts exceptionally well with his black robes and staff. The Evil Wizard guy on the other hand is pretty impressive and intimidating. Not too flashy but not too boring at the same time. We have a random henchmen who’s equipped with a longsword and a classic triangle shield. Unfortunately, the foot soldier missed out on an alternate face.Īnd here we have the baddies, from the uh, Evil Dragon clan or whatever they’re called. I can’t wait till they incorporate back printing to the slope dress pieces. The princess’ back is slightly disappointing since you have a back view of her lovely dress which ends abruptly at the slope piece. I’ve come to expect back printing with all minifigs that I get from sets, so nothing out of the ordinary here. If only they came in Red and Gold, they’d be so handy as Lannisters from the Game of Thrones. The paint detail and quality is top notch. The Lion Knight looks pretty impressive, with a visor-ed helmet, armour and shield bearing the Lion insignia. The Princess has a lovely white dress with gold and light blue trimmings along with a tiara above her red hair. The footsoldier has a neat chain mail design printed on his torso and carries a shiny silver spear. If I were to buy this at RRP, it would take a lot of convincing since this set seems a little on the bare side.įirst up, the good guy minifigs! We get a footsoldier with his iconic bullet helmet, a princess that’s in need of rescuing and a valiant Lion Knight, fully decked out in printed armour. I was lucky enough to purchase this set at less than $50 during Myer’s recent Toy Sale which I felt easily justified the price. The star of this set, is the massive Lego dragon which hasn’t made an appearance since the Fantasy Era subtheme in 2007 where we had knights and dwarves duking it out against skeletons, trolls and dragons. I settled on Dragon Mountain because hey, who wouldn’t want to own a massive Lego dragon? Castle Lego will always occupy a special place in my heart and when Lego announced that they were rebooting the Castle line this year, I was pretty excited to get my hands on some.
