Recreate LEGO ICONS 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle with 31120 Medieval Castle

You can now close the gap between theLEGOGroup’s two vastly different fortresses by turning31120 Medieval Castleinto10305 Lion Knights’ Castle.

If the wallet-busting10305 Lion Knights’ Castleis slightly beyond your budget – and fair play, it is really, really expensive at £344.99 / $399.99 / €399.99 – Rebrickable userre-brickedhas come up with a way to enjoy the 90th anniversary set withoutcompletelybreaking the bank. (You’ll still have to damage it a little.)

That’s by taking advantage of yet another alternate build for31120 Medieval Castle, of which there are already loads onRebrickable. Where most involve combining multiple copies of the set to come up with something either close in style to the original set, or something totally unique, re-bricked’s latest design instead takes its cues from10305 Lion Knights’ Castle.

“As I suspect a lot of people did, when I first saw [10305 Lion Knights’ Castle] I thought, ‘I want it! But I can’t afford it,’” the builder explains onRebrickable. “So already having [two copies of31120 Medieval Castle], I thought, ‘I wonder what I could make with a mix of styles of both builds,’ and it wasn’t quite enough, so I got a third set. And this is the end result.”

That means you’ll need three copies of31120 Medieval Castleto recreate this build. The Creator 3-in-1 set retails for £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99, so three copies at full price comes to £269.97 / $299.97 / €299.97. That’s a full £75.02 / $100.02 / €100.02 cheaper than buying10305 Lion Knights’ Castle, although of course you won’t get the 90th-anniversary set’s roster of 22 medieval minifigures.

Given10305 Lion Knights’ Castleis unlikely to be discounted any time soon, though, this is still a credible alternative – especially if you can find31120 Medieval Castleon sale, which isn’t entirely impossible. Thanks to the Creator 3-in-1 set’s generally more muted colours (with the exception of its bright red and white flags and bright yellow wooden buildings), the resulting build also offers a completely different aesthetic to10305 Lion Knights’ Castle.

And if nothing else, this concept only highlights just how much potential31120 Medieval Castlehas – even beyond the set as it comes in the box. If you’re gripped by castle fever right now, you could do much worse than grabbing a copy or two, even if only to complement10305 Lion Knights’ Castlein your medieval layout.

10305 Lion Knights’ Castlelaunches August 3 for VIPs and August 8 for everyone else, while31120 Medieval Castleis available to buy now.

I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
