![]() I wish the winch system was fully contained in the gatehouse. While that makes play easier, I think it looks odd on the side of the castle. Additionally, the drawbridge raises and lowers using a winch on the side of the tower. The build also has play features, like a blowout jail wall. The towers feature some empty rooms as well. There is a gatehouse with drawbridge winch, a blacksmith, a jail cell, a food stall, a throne room, and even a privy. Medieval Castle has enough interior detailing to keep it interesting. While ‘80s castles all looked formidable from the exterior, they tended to have rather unremarkable interiors. BUILD: 80%Ĭompared to Castles sets I had as a kid, Medieval Castle looks great from the inside out. ![]() Averaging this with the cost-per-brick score gives an overall value rating of 89%. Consequently, I rate the build time at 85%. By comparison, the average LEGO® set clocks in around $0.85/minute for me, while other 3-in-1 sets are around $0.67/minute. I assembled Medieval Castle in three hours and 33 minutes, resulting is a cost-per-minute of $0.66. You also get a decent amount of build time. Either way, the Medieval Castle delivers a lot of bricks for the price. Our cost-per-brick for LEGO® sets in general is $0.138. Comparatively, the True North Bricks average for all Creator 3-in-1 sets we’ve reviewed is $0.11. Additionally, the set consists of 1426 pieces.

MEDIEVAL CASTLE SUMMARY This post is part of True North Bricks’ Castles week 2022. To celebrate the quasi-resurgence of Castles, we’re reviewing our way through a number of these sets this week. With all these goodies, Castles fans can almost imagine the Castles theme’s return. Finally, we get the Lion Knights Castle to celebrate the LEGO® Group’s 90 th anniversary. After that, Forest Hideout, a remake of a 1988 Forestmen set, came as a GWP in June. Next, 2022 brought an assortment of Castles build-a-mini parts at the LEGO® Store. Additionally, if you were one of 10,000 lucky fans, you scored Castle in the Forest from the Bricklink Designer Program. Subsequently, summer brought the topic of today’s review, the Medieval Castle (31120). Starting in early 2021, the LEGO® Group released the Medieval Blacksmith. While not a full theme return, we have none-the-less received a number of great products. Fans of the classic Castles theme have a lot to celebrate of late.
