Weekly Set Review: King Leo
I like this set quite a bit. I got two of them for my 7th (or 8th, can't remember) birthday party. I was psyched at the time because I actually had duplicate castle figs. I always posted the two guards at entrances...anyway. Good set then, and now (even with the castle piece).
9/10

'Twas my first KK1 set. I liked it, I remember, and I though the tower was like a castle... lol, I didn't realize how small it was, and how there really wasn't much to the set... still, those are some good figs, nice accessories, and everything else... so-so. I give it a 9.5/10, it would been nice if they'd made it a real wall, similar to what they did in the "Dungeon" set.

LOL! You're so cruel! And to your own son... well... yeah... I figure if I ever have a son/daughter someday, I'll still have my Lego collection, and then there's the problem of sharing it... brrllblbbphpf! Oh well...
So yes, for many reasons this is a very good set. The minifigs, like all of the KK1 figs, are excellent, and the accessories, and the horse are good too... those three bricks on the tower are always cool, and the turret itself... with the right use of it, becomes a very good piece to have in a MOC.

Indeed that is the first thing I thought when I got this set. It is a failry decent army builder. one horse and two figures. I ended up using the king's torso for archers. And now I have a lot of extra crowns most of which ended up on my skeletons.
It could have used some more minifigs, but it is not a wretched set.

As a set, it is unappealing to me. Sure you can just buy it for the soldiers, but really, as a set, it is extremely lacking. At least with the ubiquitous catapult sets, you could have a small battle. But the figs are good enough for a decent review.
