Carrying Castles

Leave a reply

The 1978 LEGO 375 Castle set is currently being advertised on a well-known online auction site for… well, this TLCB Writer has bought cars for less. Nice ones.

Which – for little more than a small pile of yellow blocks – seems rather poor value. Especially considering for the same outlay you could build a miniaturised version, equip it with tracks, and go on an all-inclusive holiday to the Seychelles.

Flickr’s carrier lost has done just that (although they may not be holidaying on a tropical island) with their ‘375 Traction Castle’, which is rather reminiscent of some crustacean-based interplanetary enslavement in a twenty-year-old cartoon.

Take a look via the link above, or alternatively you can blow nearly $10,000 on an unopened original 375 set by clicking here.

To the Joust!

Decidedly not a car, but thoroughly charming nonetheless, is Clemens Schneider‘s wonderfully whimsical horse and cart, entitled ‘On the way to Summer Joust’. A brick-built horse and knights add to the magic (although we’d definitely rather be the one in the cart), and you join them on their medieval journey at Clemen’s photostream. Head to the joust via the link above!

Lego Medieval Ship

We’re not sure what’s got into the Elves but they seem to like boats at the moment. No matter, because this medieval ship by Flickr’s Gabriel Thomson is gorgeous, especially the clever brick-built hull. See more at Gabriel’s photostream by clicking here, whilst we issue a ‘find a bloody car you idiots’ directive…

Lego Ship

It’s 2017! And we’re kicking off the new year with a creation that, er… isn’t a car. No matter, it is lovely. This medieval warship has been constructed by Felipe Avelar, it’s crewed by a rag-tag band of mini-figures, and there’s more to see on Flickr here.

The new Lego Horse

To the glue factory!

Exciting news! But not if you’re a lover of the old Lego horse. Lego has decided that our favourite plastic companion needs an update, and so the old Lego horse, released way back in the ’80s, is to be retired. Its replacement is a more detailed creature, and Lego have added a great big dollop of poseablilty too, so it can rear up, jump, and generally be a more playable element. We’ll see the new horse in stores later this year.
