I picked up the ‘Dragon Tower’ Duplo Castle set (4776) today at LLCA and it is a
very nice set. I was worried that I would not like them, that they would be “to
MBish”. While they do have a hint of “MBish” to it - it is still a very cool set
and the kids loved it.
The Dragon was a big hit! My kids had much fun flying him around and smahing him
into the various Duplo buildings they built up. The drawbridge was easy for them
to work - same with the trap doors in the floors. I think the walls could be
more Lego-like, but understand it is needed to be more sturdy and hold up to the
rough kid play.
Here is the ‘problem’. The picture of the set very clearly shows the shields
have a design on them (either via sticker or direct printing). This can be seen
in the set picture on S@H here and the
box art shows the same both in the set picture and the parts included picture on
the top of the box. My set had no design printed on the shields and no stickers
at all in the box. The other decorated elements (2 1x2x2 bricks) are both
printed with the design and are as shown in the set art.
Does anybody else have this set and can confirm the status of these shields
either way? And Lego - you may want to look into this as it appears to be some
sort of error.
oh ya - almost forgot. I really do not like the new design for the Duplo
minifigs. I do not know why they were changed, but they all look like they have
been riding a horse for too long and somebody stretched out their arms in some
twisted torture ritual.
