Lego Knights of the Castle
Product Number 5615
21 fragments – Century 5 and older
The figure of the knight is made with a double pattern in a blue tone; the shield and crest perfectly match what you see on the bust. I was a little surprised when I came out because I didn’t expect there to be many pieces. A soldier with two different helmets, a long coat, a short sword, a chest plate, armor, and a shield. All the pieces are of a silvery color; While this doesn’t look as good as the metallic armor, it lasts longer, doesn’t lose its shine, and you don’t have to shake it off.
One of the coolest features is the armor rack that can hold a helmet, weapons, sword, helmet and shield. It is out of a box from pieces that takes about five seconds to build but helps keep parts from getting lost. The only downside is that there is only one piece of the shard so you can have either the hair or the sword on display, but not both at the same time. you can solve a problem by adding a few extra pieces if he kills them from others.
The replay value in this is great; with other add-ons you can create different armies or generic military leaders that don’t have a definitive color scheme. or crest shields or clothing. The piece of armor is optional and only takes a few seconds to attach or remove so play time is never interrupted if a fight breaks out and you need to get into gear.
