LEGO Castle #852132 Castle Tic Tac Toe Review

Theme: Castle
Name: Castle Tic Tac Toe
S/N: #852132
Year: 2007
Pieces: -
Minifig: 10
Price: RM-, SGD-, USD14.99, GBP9.79

Box
Although I bought this set at my local toy store, but I cannot recall the price but I'm sure it is around RM65-70. There is a layer of cardboard protecting the tic tac toe casing and at the front there is one transparent part where you can see all the minifigs. At the back it shows some picture of the casing which looks very nice.

We now move to the casing of the tic tac toe which I likes it very much. On the very right you will see the two white round thing that hold the both side of the casing together. I wonder it will lose it grips if we open and close it quite often.

Content
Once we remove the cardboard, we see a play board (I don't know what else to call it since it is made of baseplate) on the left and your minifigs (the Crown knight and undead skeleton knight) together with their weapon on the right.

Weapons
There are five sword which is slightly bend for the undead skeleton knight and five silver chrome sword for the Crown knight. Is sure is a good news to get this rare silver chrome sword but there are some quality problem with it. The undead one are just fine.

Minifigs
There are 10 minifigs given but they are only two types of minifigs, each type have five in quantity. I think those two minifigs from this set are the same with the one we get in Final Joust (#7009).

Play board
On the left of the casing is the play board. The base plate cannot be removed from the casing which I think they have been glued on it, however the tiles that divided the plate into boxes can be removed.

Minifigs storage
On the other hand, the place where you put your minifigs (which is on the right) can be removed. It is just some black cheap plastic holder that hold your minifigs. If you don't like it or having problem to removed your minifigs, just removed the whole black plastic.

Overall picture
The casing of course is very nice and that's why people say packaging sells. I think the whole thing is good just that there is a little quality problem with the silver chrome sword and the minifigs. If you hate the minifigs, just replace them and there shall be no problem. The board you can still use it for the game and the casing is just great, you can bring it to anywhere you want and play it when you feel bored.

final picture

Playability: 9/10 This whole thing over here is design to be play with
Quality: 6/10 The minifigs is quite bad in quality, and I'm a little upset with the silver chrome sword
Minifig: 9/10 I would say they give us a good and rare minifigs
Price: 9/10 Very cheap!!!
Overall: 8/10 A nice board game set just that the quality is a little bothersome

I don't think you can still find this, try Bricklink. The price should be higher now.
