Is Castle siege a money waster?

At $8, it is a good set. I was a bit skeptical before purchasing it but after the fact, I really enjoy the set. Has plenty of accessories which are always nice to have in abundance. The minifigs are nice for leading their corresponding armies and the white horse's barding looks great.TheMaster wrote:Hows the new jousting set? I know the last one was horrible
I have only 1 castle siege, but I like it. The design looks cool and there are lots of features. The mini-figs are nice.
My only complaint is the structure isn't quite as robust as maybe some of the other castles are. It's difficult to transport since the sections are held together by technic pins.
As a whole, I was generally impressed with all of the smaller fantasy sets like the final joust, crossbow attack, catapult defense, and mine defender as they offer a variety of mini-figs and most of the smaller sets are $10 or less.

Yeah, I did fail to mention that. It would have been nice if the pins were at the bottom and top of each section to give the castle some integrity. Nothing a couple extra pieces cant solve though.My only complaint is the structure isn't quite as robust as maybe some of the other castles are.

If you have trouble finding one in the shops you can still get them from the Lego website directly, I'm not confident of finding one in any of the depatment stores in Sydney now. The only ones I have seen for some time are in specialist toy shops.
While your there the first Lego castle chess set is currenty 50% of for $41.49 that should compensate for your $40.00 shipping costs.

Castle Advent Calendar together with the reduced chess set and castle seige would make a great combination of the currrent castle range. The calender is unlikey to be available in stores in Australia it appears good value for money with a unique jestor minfigure.TheMaster wrote:Thanks Mario. Any other castle sets hard to find in Australia I should order while i'm on the website?

Spend some time reading the threads here on CC about each of the sets.

I'm glad you decided to go with it, because King's Castle Siege is a fantastic, fun set.
