LEGO recently released an exciting new LEGO Castle set, but this time in the LEGO Creator 3-in-1 collection. The #31168 LEGO Creator Medieval Horse Knight Castle features a movable drawbridge, great hall, stable, smithy, secret treasure chest, king’s bedroom, writing room, and two tower terraces. And best of all, the set comes with three alternate builds: the large castle, a jousting arena with a smaller castle, or a medieval town scene with a windmill. The set also comes with six minifigs: a horse knight king, horse knight champion, horse knight archer, horse knight spearman, a blacksmith, and serpent knight, plus two poseable brick-built horses.
This is one of those sets that would make sense to get three copies of. You could build all three versions of the set, and also get more minifigs for army-building with these two unique factions that we haven’t seen before. The set comes with 1,371 pieces for the very reasonable price of $129.99. You can find it a the LEGO Creator 3-in-1 section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Speaking of army building, if you scroll down the page of the #31168 LEGO Creator Medieval Horse Knight Castle set, under the “Features” section, you will see that LEGO is offering pre-selected bundles via Pick-A-Brick. You can get the 5x Wolfpack Outlaws Bundle, the 5x Crusader Horses Bundle, the 5x Magenta Knights Bundle, the 5x Crusader Archers Bundle, the 5x Viking Villagers Bundle, and the 5x Pirates Bundle. And, if you want more or less of any of the pieces, you can change the quantities in your shopping cart. What a great way to build up your armies without having the search through Pick-A-Brick on your own! This might indeed be the future of how LEGO will be offering what we used to know as battle packs!

I completely forgot about this castle, but it looks good! And those horses are hilarious, lol! 😄
I have this set. I love it. The downside one mini figure knight legs were missing. (I called in for the part). So, right now I have sir Stumpy the legless knight. Lol. I tried to make more knight mini figures but, it just got so expensive. If they are doing battle packs that’s awesome.
Wow! Cool! I just picked up a couple of those battle packs! Thanks for the heads up!
So, how can you get actual packs ? I go on pick a brick and I just get mini figure parts and accessories .
I was watching Jang’s review, and he showed that there are more ways to display this set. Like there is a smaller castle before you finish the bigger castle. Hard to explain, but check it out. It’s a really cool set.
Really nice set. There’s a lot there.
“Battle packs” are a great idea, There were minifigure packs many years ago. If the “make your own minifigure” sets cost $10 for three figures including accessories, these packs shouldn’t cost more.
In general, I don’t see spending so much for what is really just a toy.
It would be nice if someone regularly posted sales on the Brick blogger!
Hey, Mark, we do cover larger sales that LEGO and Amazon runs, but smaller sales I just don’t have the time for. This blog is just not set up to provide that kind of info on a regular basis. There used to be a website that automatically aggregated price data from different retailers, but I don’t know if they are still around.
I was hoping that someone would explain to me the steps to take to get a medieval theme battle pack. I went on pick a brick and got stuck on mini figures medieval accessories. So, I’m lost .
The easiest is to go to the page with the medieval castle, then scroll down the page where you see the battle packs. Click on the one you want, and you will be taken to the page where the parts and quantities are already filled out for you. You can add them all to your cart with just the push of one button, but you can also edit the quantities of each part if you want. 🙂
