LEGO ICONS 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle might have a Monty Python reference

LEGO ICONS 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle is now available and one of the 22 minifigures appears to be a reference to Monty Python.

The LEGO Group is now 90 years old, and 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle is one of a few sets released for the occasion, paying tribute to the legacy of LEGO Castle in one of the largest brick-built fortresses ever built and 22 minifigures. 

Within those 22 minifigures is one knight wearing a large backpack with a flag sticking out, which closely resembles the design of Patsy from Monty Python, a fact that the Monty Python Twitter team were quick to point out. 

Whether this is a reference to the historic comedy series isn’t confirmed, but the similarities present indicate that it might be one, and we’re certain there are a few more Easter eggs hidden within the depths of 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle. 

10305 Lion Knights’ Castle is available now on the official online store for £344.99 / $399.99 / €399.99 and we’ve taken a close look at the 90th-anniversary model in our in-depth review, where we point out some other references you can find in the build.
