2013 LEGO Castle Summer Sets

Some LEGO fans complain that the new LEGO Castle line is a bit boring, especially compared to the previously released LEGO Castle Fantasy Era sets. But there are some nice features of the new LEGO Castle sets that may not be so flashy, but really stand out. I particularly like the modular design of the larger LEGO Castle sets; a very thoughtful detail that allows you to set up your LEGO Castle in so many different ways. The minifigs are also nice with a freshened up look of old classics. So what do you think? Are you happy with the new LEGO Castle line? Or will you pass? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉
