Knighton Castle: A Masterpiece from Designer Mark Stafford

Despite its large number of components, the price per piece turns out to be just an affordable 7.7p or 9.1c, depending on your currency preference.

Towards a Royal Assembly

Each painstakingly designed element contributes towards building King Halbert’s magnificent castle meant to thwart the encroaching stone army! The design not only reflects Stafford’s skill but also enables children develop fine motor skills and promotes strategic thinking – thanks to the capturing plot conceived under Cartoon Network’s LEGO® NEXO KNIGHTS™ series.

Fine Craftsmanship and Immersive Role-Play

Moving onto the features of this majestic stronghold structure that measures over 14” high, 11” deep and 17” wide when unfolded, we find robust gates that open grandly to reveal Robin’s dynamic vehicle equipped with two stud shooters, ready for action! The castle, when unclasped from all sides and crossed bridges brings forth Merlok 2.0 smoothly presented in his gripping Mechlok robotic suit bearing a wizard’s hat.

Meticulously Planned Living Quarters and Tactical Warfare

The authenticity of depicting royal living quarters touches new heights through two intricately furnished bedrooms including a dining room and an armory. It also incorporates a command center along with a fascinating tower formed by the detachable Rumble Rocket transporter, thereby formulating a lifelike picture of tactical warfare sessions where strategies are planned.

The NEXO Knights Heroes & Characters

What makes Knighton Castle even more enthralling are the beautifully crafted characters it introduces into its world – King Halbert, Robin along with a King’s Guard unit featuring Aaron and Lance, besides a white stone statue along with two stone stompers. To add further zing into your role-play sessions, there are also two Bricksters along with fancily attired ‘Fancy Pants’, adorable pig Hamletta, plus the larger-than-life buildable figure of Mechlock!
