![]() ![]() ![]() Like 375, the interiors are bare, but we have staircases, as well as clips to hang swords, and even small chambers on the inside, which is a tiny step forward!Īnd yes, 6080 King’s Castle can also fold its way outwards, to create a massive walled section, something that 10305 emulates well. You’ll notice many elements that have been carefully adapted into the 2022 version – the drawbridge and portcullis are obvious ones, as is the arched entrance, flags and also the position of the 2 shields above the entrance bearing the Lion Knights coat of arms. The closest historical analogue to 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle would be 6080 King’s Castle, the flagship castle and home baseĭesigned by Niels Milan Pedersen, and released in 1984, half a decade after 375 Castle, it demonstrated (at the time) a huge leap forward, with flags, grey bricks, printed wall segments, a portcullis and some cavalry which is now made possible by moulded LEGO horses!įor many LEGO fans that grew up in the 80s, 6080 was THE Castle to own, and at the time was unrivalled as a LEGO Castle.ġ0305 Lion Knights’ Castle is notable because it marks the return of the Lion Knights’ faction, and instead of a king (who was absent from his own castle!), we get brave Queen Lionne who leads the Lion Knights in 2022. 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle vs 6080 King’s Castle The Lion Knights’ Castle features a fully-decked out castle, with plenty of rooms that really make the Castle alive. Older LEGO Castles are mostly just walls, towers and minifigures, and very bare bones on the inside. One thing that 10305 does brilliantly, that sets it apart from all these Classic LEGO Castles is just how detailed the interiors are. Placing both sets side by side, you can appreciate just how ground-breaking 375 was at the time, with many playable features such as the drawbridge, arched entrance, and battlements across the towers and walls, which carry over to 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle, and many other LEGO Castles after 375.Īnother standard was established with 375, plenty of Knight minifigures, whether they be mounted on brick-built horses, or if they’re serving as squires, or Castle guards.Īnd let’s not forget the ability for the walls to extend outwards, to create a larger wall, and alter the shape of the Castle, a key LEGO Castle feature that 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle also adapts. So LEGO designer Daniel August Krentz went with yellow instead, for a bright, cheery aesthetic that has now become one of LEGO Castle’s most iconic models, thanks to its bright yellow walls and towers. To know your future you must know your past, and we have to go all the way back to 1978 with 375 Castle, also fondly known as the “Yellow Castle”.Īt the time, grey were quite rare (check out the sets released in 1978), and I believe the only grey elements at the time were mostly plates, and they would only become more abundant in 1979, when Classic Space landed on the scene. ![]() With LEGO’s 90th Anniversary coming up soon, and Lion Knights’ Castle being a celebration of all things LEGO Castle, I thought it’d be a good idea to compare it against with some other Classic LEGO castles, to demonstrate just how far LEGO has come, as well as how this highly detailed modern set pays tribute to Castles of old.ġ0305 Lion Knights’ Castle is available now from Following the launch of 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle, many excited fans are now either putting the epic 4,514-piece LEGO Castle together that I called a “genre-defining LEGO Castle” in my review. Now all of a sudden it Only shows up in a totally different state and with exact name search. Is there something I could do to send signals to Google to show that I am in Matthews, NC?Ģ months ago my listing quit showing up at all unless you typed exact business name What could possibly cause my listing or Google to do this? I have been without my listing for a few months now and have NO calls coming in from it. If you search Locksmith Independence, KS it shows up on the maps. If you search Locksmith Matthews, NC my listing does not show up at all. Keep in mind the GMB is in Matthews, NC All my service areas and the actual map show the correct areas. Now if I search my business name under the auto populate I see it with Independence, KS on the listing. I pretty much do not have any traffic, views or calls now. Posted about my SAB listing a few weeks ago about not showing up in search only when you entered the exact name. ![]()
