Comparing 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle to other historic LEGO Castles

August 6, 2022 By Jay 10 Comments

Following the launch of 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle, many excited fans are now either putting the epic 4,514-piece LEGO Castle together that I called a “genre-defining LEGO Castle” in my review. With LEGO’s 90th Anniversary coming up soon, and Lion Knights’ Castle being a celebration of all things LEGO Castle, I thought it’d be a…

I had the honour of reviewing this set early, and as a fan…

Review: LEGO 31120 Medieval Castle

May 15, 2021 By Jay 25 Comments

LEGO have been absolutely slaying the game when it comes to large, ambitious 18+/Creator Expert sets, and doubling down on nostalgia in 2021. Following the very positively received launch of the Medieval Blacksmith early this year which brought back the Black Falcons faction, and the resurgence of Vintage Castle thanks to its strong showing in…

(Loot from Australia 2) Review: 7950 – Kingdoms – Knight’s Showdown

February 8, 2012 By Jay Leave a Comment

Here’s a tiny set I got in Australia, in Adelaide, last December! I was looking around for Lego when I stumbled upon Toy Corner, which is right opposite Tea Tree Plaza. I didn’t think it was much, because the lady at Toys R Us told me to check it out, I expected a tiny Lego…

One of the rarest LEGO Architecture sets - 21021 M One of the rarest LEGO Architecture sets - 21021 Marina Bay Sands! 🇸🇬 

Singapore celebrates their National Day on 9 August, and to mark the occasion, I've dug into my vault to showcase the Marina Bay Sands, one of Singapore's contemporary architectural landmarks! 

Released in 2014, it's notorious for being one of the most sought-after Architecture sets, because only 10,000 copies were made.

To make matters worse, they sold exclusively in Asia in countries like Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, and the Marina Bay Sands gift shop!

Thankfully, LEGO released a newer 21057 Singapore Skyline earlier this year which also includes the Marina Bay Sands, but this is a relic from an era where LEGO had regional exclusives in their portfolio.

Happy National Day, Singapore!

Raising the next generation of @lego Castle fans 🏰

Nothing makes me happier than seeing @little.ongs play with 10305 Lion Knights' Castle, which I've conveniently left in an easy to access spot in the house. 

While yes, this set is big and meant for adults, the playability and story-telling is so native to kids that it's a great set to share with your kids if you have any.

👑 Having THE definitive LEGO Castle being ruled by Queen Lionne also sends a great message to little girls and a fantastic celebration of #lego90years 

10305 Lion Knights' Castle launches today for VIPs and if you're lucky enough to be in the position to pick one up, I hope you enjoy and savour every moment of the build of what is quite possibly my favourite set of 2022.
