LEGO Knights Kingdom Vladeks Dark Fortress

LEGO Knights Kingdom Vladeks Dark Fortress

The Knights of Morcia are locked in pitched battle with the evil Vladek and his nefarious marauding forces who are trying to control the kingdom. But in this sprawling, expansive 967-piece set from Lego, the Knights are taking the battle right to Vladek’s house, seeking to defeat him right there at his enormous fortress. The set includes a multitude of swords, shields, battle axes, and other weapons for Sir Rascus, Sir Jayko, Sir Danju, and Sir Santis to use as they take on Vladek and his crew, all of whom are represented by tiny Lego guys who, as always, look more cute than fierce. The fortress is equipped with spring-loaded missiles, a catapult, and even a vat of fake boiling oil. Plus, there’s a scary dungeon with skeletons and pretend spider webs.
