Castles where to start?
I had every 90s Castle and Pirate set there was available. My dad didn't play with me much, but my brothers and I built some amazing things. I remembe how I wish my dad got in on the fun with us, but alas, it was not his vibe. Well now, I am a dad to a screen addicted child (I am 50% to blame, school is the other 50%.) and LEGO is 100% my vibe.
Long story short, I have got my kid into Lego vs a screen, which is a huge win. But he asked me about my favorite theme and castles popped into my head.
But how far should I go with it?
We have the outlaw forest den, forest stronghold, the 2010 marketplace, rivendell and 2x of each of the 3-1 versions.
Do I need – I use that term loosely – Lion Knight's Castle? Blacksmith? The alchemist? So many thoughts about heading backwards and finding the 2010 sets, but I'm not paying $.50/pp on some that I have seen.
Or should we just MOC a town from rebrickable? My grey bulk is not super strong, lol
