It is the rare pieces that make this set memorable. It is still a great source of weapons and helms, though I don't care for the older style helms. Still, you get a pretty nice mini fig, quite a few useful pieces, and 2 rare pieces. The black sword doesn't interest me, but that Lion Knight's flag is...

This is one set we could have done without. If you wanted the Merlin/Majisto fig but couldn't afford the larger sets, you could always have bought that Majisto's Magic Shop set and gotten more useful parts (tree foliage, scroll, etc).

This was not needed.

What Lego is and has been doing with the Star Wars line proves that they were always capable of producing great sets. That is why I am baffled by what they have been releasing in the castle line. Vikings are a step in the right direction, and I'm excited about getting some of the sets. Now if only t...

Those black bricks are meant to be put on the horse when you take the saddle off. That way the horse (without saddle) doesn't just have a huge gap in its back. I think they were just put on the package image so that people could see they were included in the set, although I'm not sure. Maybe they di...

I won't be getting this because the soldiers don't interest me, but I do think it is a great idea.

I wish Lego would release a "classic" version of this game, with an army of Lion Knight's taking on an army of Black Falcon's. Now THAT I woud buy in a heartbeat!

I was just confused as to what it could have been. I went through Bricklink trying to find that head with no luck. I never even considered the fact that it could be a misprint. Looking more closely at the actual box makes it look like a paint smear from the printing of the head, or some type of impe...

Question about set 6035 (Castle Guard)

On the back of the box, there is a picture where the BF spearman is holding a flag and standing in front of a "throne" which the knight is sitting on. The spearman has a different head than the standard "smiley" head. It appears as if there is a long eyelash coming from the eye. ...

I think this is a fantastic set. The only drawbacks being the lack of proper wheels, "Black Knight's" who are far to red, and the "Black Falcon" archer should have a BF torso. I'm not sure why he has that plate torso... Great set though. I have never owned one myself, but a frien...

Lousy castle, but great for parts. I love the fact that it isn't on a raised base plate and it comes with some great window pieces. I wouldn't buy it for the set itself though.

2 of 10 for design.

7 of 10 for pieces.

This is probably one of the better catapults as for how well it works. It looks a bit odd compared to some of the later ones though. Still, this is a great set and comes with some useful parts. The only downside to this set is the wheels. Other than that, I have no complaints.

Last night I bought over 150 old light grey 1x6 bricks which should aid in my keep... At the very least I am planning on building a small keep for the Black Falcon's BEFORE I can build the larger keep for the Lion Knight's. If I really like it... then I'll try to find a way to keep it around. Otherw...

Do all of your factions have a home?

In preparation for the large keep I am planning on building for the Lion Knight's, I have been forced to decide which factions I would like to keep as opposition and which ones will have to go so I can use pieces from the sets. All of my Lion Knight sets will be used for parts and all Lion Knight's ...

I plan on building a MOC structure for the Lion Knight's which I was going to erroneaously name a "castle". Now I know that, unless I make changes to the plans, it will be a keep.

I enjoyed this post, and found it very educational.

Someone would have to give me this set for me to add it to my collection. I don't like the soldier, I don't like those big grey axes.... the only things useful are the wheels, spear, crossbows, and flag. I have plenty of all of those pieces except the wheels, and I don't have any intention of gettin...

How fitting. I just got this set for the first time and put it together last night. Fantastic set. If I could only buy ONE Lego set for the rest of my life, it would probably be this one. The amount of pieces and the type is outstanding and very useful. Plenty of grey bricks and plates, corner piece...
