LEGO Kingdoms #7950 Knight's Showdown Review

Theme: Kingdoms
Name: Knight's Showdown
S/N: #7950
Year: 2010
Pieces: 61
Minifig: 2
Price: RM39.90, SGD13.90, USD6.99, GBP4.99


Box
The front are just box art, while on the side shows the actual scale of minifigs. The back shows a function of the set. This is one real small set, but with two minifigs, I think it is acceptable since one of them are dragon knight.

Content
Inside the small box are two packet of bricks, and an instruction booklet. Since there is nothing much to shown here, I placed a bigger picture here.

Accessories
Below shown all the weapons we get from this set. There are two swords here, however, there is only one lion shield.

.

Minifigs
We get one Dragon knight, which looks pretty cool too and a Lion soldier (??) since the helmet is for knight. Below are the pictures:

Weapon racks
Since it is just a small thing over here, I just snap a picture. I think this is something like we can get from Advent Calendar, small and simple thing.

.

Catapult
While here's the so-called powerful catapult. It's terrible and not even powerful enough (_ _ll). Anyway is just a small set, so stop complaining. =P Also the shield are only placed on one side of the catapult only.

.

So here's the picture where both of the thing are put together.

.

Extra pieces
Spare plumes for your future knights. I think is good to give extra of these accessories for your knight helmet.

.

Completed model
So this is how the completed thing looks like. I would say castle set gives a lot of weapon and good amount of minifigs these days considering the size of the set.

Playability: 6/10 I guess I should give a high marks for a small set like this.
Design : 6/10 Catapult is quite small, the rack is ok~
Price : 8/10 The price is affordable for kids.
Overall: 7/10 Good accessories, and good minifigs. I'm a minifigs lover. =D

Nice review :) I think the catapult in the Knights Outpost is better than this one but it is a small set so you can't expect too much.

Agreed. But that set do not have any knight minifigs. So it's like nothing special in there for me to get that set.
