LEGO announced one of its largest sets to date, the Lion Knights' Castle. The set was created to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the toy company as it returns to one of its most common themes, the medieval knights. This medieval castle is the home of the Lion Knights, a legion in the LEGO universe with a lion insignia on each shield and flag.
The Lion Knights' Castle retails for $400 USD and is promised to be one of the most intricate and detailed LEGO collections to date. The set includes 4,514 pieces that result in a complete diorama of a medieval castle. The set includes everything from a drawbridge to a moat while the LEGO characters range from Lion Knights' archers, knights, bards, a king, and even members of an opposing army clad with a black hawk logo.
