Castle Christmas
Well. It was indeed a Lego Castle Christmas at our house. Santa came through bigtime for Justin as nearly the ENTIRE 2007 Castle series arrived on December 25th leaving us in plastic brick heaven for more than a week.
Specifically, Justin opened, then built the 7093 Skeleton Tower, 7092 Skeleton's Prison Carriage, 7009 The Final Joust, 7092 Knight's Catapult Defense, and the Grandaddy of them all 7094 King's Castle Siege.
We started off with the Skeleton Castle. Very cool with the "Jaw"-bridge and hanging cage for the princess! The Red Dragon was a really cool bonus with this set.
There sure were a lot of bags for that King's Castle. By far the biggest set we've attempted together. Justin was very patient building in stages.
We built the castle in sections for a few hours each morning over 3 days of the Christmas week. Justin would follow along and add the pieces as we followed the directions. We would stop after a couple of hours just so we didn't get burned out, but it didn't take long to come together. This set (and series) is off the charts as far as playability right out of the box. Justin has been having skeleton and knight battles right from the start.
Dragon attack!
Placing the banner on the top tower!
We only come out at night!
Double Dragons!
All along the watchtower...
The King is ready for anything. He seems to have captured the Wizard's staff.
