LEGO Kingdoms Knight's Showdown 7950 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked this set up because it was fairly cheap (I bought it for 6.99 EURO) and because it came with some very cool minifigures. This set comes with one King's army soldier figure that has a very detailed printed head, torso, and a nicely printed shield. He also has a silver sword and a silver helmet with a red feather. Additionally, this set comes with one Dragon Knight soldier figure that has a very detailed printed head, torso, and legs. He also has a gray sword and battle ax, and a new Lego helmet with a green feather. This set also comes with a small stand that holds the Dragon Knight soldier's banner and sword (you can also use the stand as a target for the catapult). The catapult itself is a very entertaining build and when finished it looks like a genuine medieval catapult, and it shoots its projectile quite far. The catapult is equipped with wheels and a place on the side for the King's army soldier's shield. Well, here are the basics of the set:
The good things
King's army soldier
Dragon Knight soldier
Helmets
Feathers
Swords
Battle ax
Shield
Stand
Gold banner
Catapult
Catapult bucket piece
Two projectiles

The bad things

Over all, I very highly recommend this set.

Court Jester Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Jester character makes his appearance in the 2010 Kingdoms line via this minfigure/miniset. Dressed in the red and white of the Lion Army, he comes with a small stage and three colored "stud" pieces to "juggle". The stage has two flag parts (one red and one gold) that can be attached to pieces from other sets to form full pennants and flags.
The primary draw of this set is the jester minifigure. Previously found in the LEGO Castle Drawbridge Defense Set (7079) where he was one of the most highly sought minifigures, the Kingdoms Jester now has a different color scheme (red and white compared to blue and red). The price of this set (around 4 dollars retail at the time of release in summer 2010) is right for all LEGO fans to own this minifigure.
There isn't a great deal to this set other than the minifigure. The stage is small and contains 15 pieces (22 total with the minifigure and accessories). The primary colors are red and white. The jester does not have a crossbow as he did in the drawbridge defense set.
Overall, I really like the jester figure - therefore, I like this set. I would have preferred a different color scheme for this figure, however (either the powerful red and blue of the previous jester or possibly red and green to represent both factions of the new Kingdoms line). I also would have liked either a larger stage or more interesting accessories (gone is the crossbow from the Drawbridge set). A pet (cat, dog, or bird) to contrast the dragon that the Green Army minifigure has would also have been nice.

LEGO? Kingdoms Prison Tower Rescue 7947 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The LEGO Kingdoms Prison Tower Rescue (#7947) is one of the best sets in the new Kingdoms line. It contains a diverse set of building bricks, has an eye-catching design, and a nice selection of minifigures. Initially released at a retail price of 50 dollars in the summer of 2010, it is an excellent deal for such an impressive set.
Prison Tower Rescue is a nice source of new minifigures and accessories. The set contains 5 minifigures and a horse - a Lion Army princess, a Dragon Army soldier, a Lion Army soldier, a Dragon Army knight, and a Lion Army knight. The horse is white and contains the new Lion Army unicorn armor/barding. A treasure chest, two gems, a gold nugget, and a mouse are also included.
The structure itself is a dark-toned woodland fortress for the Dragon Army. The brick colors are primarily black and brown. Green and gold accent pieces including shields and dragon-gargoyles set off the color scheme nicely. Interesting pieces include two windows, a working gate (portcullis), cauldron with flaming "oil" (a nicely done item built from four flames connected to a base), and numerous staircases.
I highly recommend this set for all LEGO enthusiasts. Especially compared to other sets in the 2010 Kingdoms line (that, unlike the earlier Castle line, have almost no fantasy elements such as trolls and dwarfs), the Prison Tower Rescue is an excellent buy.
