Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 10/26: We add half a child’s bedroom on the second floor above the music room and also a section of wall with a bit of tiled roof on the first floor above the hideout. The pile of yellow blocks is an Easter egg for the very first castle set from 1978.

Castle Bag 9
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 9/26: We finish the first floor of the mill section, which holds a banquet table, and then attach it to the other two sections. The castle now opens on hinges like a dollhouse and closes with a satisfying click.
Castle Bag 8
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 8/26: We build a water wheel that uses gearing to turn the mill stone as it spins. We finish off the ground floor level. A birds nest with an egg up on a shelf in the storage room is a whimsical touch.
Castle Bag 7
Lion Knight’s Castle Bag 7/26: We start our third section with what appears to be the beginnings of a water mill.
Blacktron Cruiser Source
The original set upon which that Blacktron Cruiser is based: Invader (6894) from 1987.
Blacktron Cruiser
LEGO definitely knows how to part me from my money. This is a remake of a 1987 Blacktron set, the Invader. Blacktron is one of my favorite Space factions (after Classic, naturally).
Castle Bag 6
Lion Knight’s Castle, Bag 6/26: We roof off the music room and add crenellations to the outer wall. The arrow slits were satisfying to build as is the way the angled sections fit together. Comes with a lady/nun and a lion knight who is also a woman.
Castle Bag 5
Lion Knight’s Castle, Bag 5/26: The two sections are attached and a music room with a fireplace is built above the kitchen. Above the hideout you get some straw to obscure the trap door and some wooden stairs.
Castle Bag 4
Lion Knight’s Castle, Bag 4/26: Secret dungeon hideout with a forestman minifig with a lute. The hideout has a table with a pair of stools, a map, some weapons, and of course something to drink. There’s a ladder up to a trapdoor in the ceiling.
Castle Bags 2-3
Lion Knight’s Castle, Bags 2-3/26: the kitchen complete with a cook minifig. I really enjoyed building the section of wall that’s pushed out at a 45° angle relative to the rest of the structure. Looks like this will form a turret or tower.
