Taking a look back at all the classic sets, I guess you could call them vintage or retro, we can see LEGO has come along way. Somethings have stayed roughly the same whilst others have changed drastically and even fizzled out completely. Thankfully though, LEGO are slowly but surely giving us fans what we want by revisiting some favourites, like the recent Lion Knight’s Castle, Space Galaxy Explorer, Eldorado Fortress and some gift with purchase sets, to name a few.

Whilst researching this topic, I came across so many older sets that I’ve never seen before. Perhaps the most appealing to me personally is the vast amount of City-style sets, including Fire stations, Dock yards, Petrol stations and so much more. It got me thinking that surely some are worthy of a modern LEGO remake, but which ones?

So my question for you is which classic LEGO sets deserve a modern remake? Discuss below or head over to our Instagram channel where these questions really take off. @thebrickpost

This is exciting news for those that have collected the various other LEGO Disney mini builds. The LEGO Mini Disney Sleeping Beauty Castle (40720) will be hitting stores and online 1st June and will retail for £34.99/$39.99. It comprises of 528 pieces and is a miniature version of the Sleeping Beauty Castle from Disneyland, it also includes a Minifigure.

Check out the official images below and let us know if this is a day one purchase for you via the comments section.

Official details:

Delight a Disney fan with the LEGO® Mini Disney Sleeping Beauty Castle (40720), an enchanting castle building toy for kids aged 12 and up. Inspired by the Sleeping Beauty Walkthrough attraction at Disneyland California, this mini Disney castle includes LEGO pieces in traditional shades of pink, blue and gold. The buildable castle playset also includes a Sleeping Beauty mini-doll, who brings the magic to life in her instantly recognizable pink dress and golden crown.

• Spark magic – Kids enjoy building a fairytale adventure with this LEGO® Mini Disney Sleeping Beauty Castle building toy for girls and boys aged 12 and up
• Buildable castle playset – The Disney Princess construction set is inspired by the Sleeping Beauty Walkthrough attraction in Disneyland California
• Faithful details – The castle comes in traditional shades of blue, pink and gold and features the unmistakable turrets and spires
• A Sleeping Beauty mini-doll – Princess Aurora, dressed in her iconic pink gown and golden crown, brings the magic to life and encourages creative role play
• Disney gift idea for kids – The Sleeping Beauty building toy is a gift for girls and boys aged 12 and up, as well as adult Disney fans and collectors
• Dimensions – The set includes 528 pieces and the castle measures over 7 in. (18 cm) high, 5.5 in. (14 cm) wide and 4 in. (11 cm) deep

One of these few sets was the 6075 Wolfpack Tower, a personal favourite from my childhood. From the first glance it’s immediately noticable this set is heavily referenced in this idea, without being a straight copy.

On first glance there might not seem many similarities between the original set and this Ideas entry. On closer inspection there are many references to find however. There’s the entrance over a bridge, the tower is set in between rocks, the masonry pattern on the outside that’s achieved with ingots and tiless, the hidden rooms accesible via water etc etc. The colour scheme differs subtly with dark red instead of normal red and less black in the build. To me that’s a result of the expanded color options we have nowadays compared to the nineties.

From the inside this design is quite detailed as well. With many rooms and storytelling options included. This is enhanced by the 6 minifigures included. These minifigures are:

• Two Wolfpack soldiers
• One Wolfpack archer
• One Wolfpack master thief
• One Wolfpack robber Chief and his wife

The Wolfpack Lair captures the essence of medieval fantasy, providing a unique building experience and endless opportunities for imaginative play. This set appeals to LEGO fans who love epic adventures, intricate designs, and the nostalgia of classic castle themes.

This is a great way for fans to pickup long retired sets at a decent price, we all know how expensive the secondary market can get. I personally took advantage of this when LEGO re-released the aforementioned Saturn V Rocket set, I pounced on it and collected it from the LEGO store on release day.

My question for you today is, if you could bring back a particular set, which one would it be and what changes would you make?

For me it would have to be some of the Pirate of the Caribbean sets or anything Pirate themed. Those larger ships were spectacular and looking back were great looking builds and Minifigures. I don’t think I’d change anything about them just bring them back. There are of course other amazing classic LEGO sets that could be re-released, but which ones? Leave you comments below, why not discuss it in real-time with fellow fans via our Instagram post.

At first glance you’ll see an idea that looks somewhat overpopulated and busy, but take a moment longer and it becomes apparent that there is more to this build than meets the eye. The creator, Albrick, has taken the word modular and ran with it, I can’t think of a more creative way to present and devide a set then what I see here. The display possibilities are vast with not just the buildings but the layout and overall village look & feel.

From the many images included in the submission you can see just how many, and probably more, way the Village can and could look. Each action is built on a standalone 16×16 plate, allowing the end user to place them in any combination. Don’t like the buildings in a row? Swap one out for the column/statue. Don’t like where the market stall is? Move it.

I’ve built many LEGO modular-style sets over the years, where small sections of walls can be interchanged, but Albricksdesign allows for so much more modification, great for popping into a City, a medieval City of course.

That’s not all, there is a full interior to the buildings too. From a lovely homestead to to a Knights barracks, there even space for a Cow in the small house. Outside there is also a lot to see with the statue, market stall and other details. They all come together to form a well rounded and fully fledged set idea, one I hope will gain the 10,000 supporters, make it through each round and ultimately go into production!

LEGO Majisto’s Magical Workshop (40601) is the next inline to become a GWP and being a re-imagining of an older set, 6048, we expect this to be very popular with fans. The set comprises of 365 pieces and will open outwards similar to the LEGO Forest Hideout set from earlier in the year. Inside the set is a fully kitted-out workshop, with a chest and some glasses. There are also 2 Minifigures included, a Knight and Majisto the wizard.

Unfortunately no other details have been release as to when this GWP will appear, it is however speculated to drop either before or during the LEGO Black Friday evert, either 18th & 19th November or between 24th and 27th November. Once we hear official word we’ll update this page. There also isn’t any word of the spend threshold for it but we expect this to be quite high, maybe in the £200 region!

Take a look at the official images and blurb below and let us know via the comments section what you think of this new but classic set.

Official details:

Share your nostalgic love for an iconic LEGO® set with Majisto’s Magical Workshop (40601). 30 years on from the 6048 LEGO Majisto’s Magical Workshop set, this modern version captures many of the features of the original, opens out for easy viewingof the interior details and includes 2 minifigures – Majisto with a wand element and a knight. A fantastic gift for LEGO fans aged 12 and up, this construction model is perfect for building together as a family.

• Majisto’s Magical Workshop building toy set (40601) – Share your passion for a classic LEGO® set with this modern version of the 6048 Majisto’s Magical Workshop set from 1993
• Original details – The 367-piece model captures many original features and opens out for easy viewing of the interior. Includes a Majisto minifigure with a wand element and a knight minifigure
• Gift idea for LEGO® fans aged 12 and up – The brick-built workshop measures over 7 in. (19 cm) high, 6.5 in. (17 cm) wide and 5 in. (13 cm) deep and can be built solo or as a fun family activity

The set is based around a lovely looking Castle, complete with three floors. Covering the exterior is a tree on one side accompanied by branches and foliage, a perfect setting for a Castle I think you’ll agree.

Since I was little, the castle theme has always been one of my favorites.

It is an outpost completely dedicated to women, fundamental in our modern civilization – Brick_Piso89

As the title suvehsts the Castle is owned and run by Women. The Minifigures come dressed in the armour from a recent CMF (Collectible Minifigure), it has a pink shield and gold crown emblem printed on it, the shileds themseleves have the same design.

There is a lot to look at when viewing the LEGO Ideas submission, with lots of corners, rooms, hidden areas and more. Outside you’ll find a training dummy, a log pile/storage place and a weapons cache. 

I particularly like hose the Castle is done, the odd shades for bricks used front he walls creates a nice looking aesthetic, add in the many details and foliage and you have a well rounded set idea. If LEGO would ever make this is a different question, but with the recent release of the Lion Knights Castle set it’s looking likely LEGO are giving the fans what they’ve wanted for quite some time, and rightly so!

The set idea itself it fully polished and could easily be made into a purchasable set, I’d buy it for sure and display it proudly on my shelf.

Without giving too much away, I’d like you to view the submission itself on LEGO Ideas, so please get over there now and give your support.

We featured Iyan Ha before here on The Brick Post with the ‘Where’s Wally?’ entry, currently in review after making the 10k supporters. You can check it out here.

What we get with this idea is a rather elegant ‘wooden’ building. To give this building its interesting character there’s a lot of different textures. From rocks on the bottom to treebranches higher up. The Forestmen shields are used to great effect. Other details like the blue roofs and target practice prints pay homage to the previous sets.

This project is a base for forest people deep in the forest. The concept of a building is a natural blend of trees, rocks, and building.
The building is a wooden building and harmonizes well with the natural things of the surrounding environment.
It’s perfect for their base, living in the deep forest, living a righteous outlaw life like Robin Hood. The exterior is mainly brown and dark gray, the colors of trees and rocks. And the green of leaves or vines surrounds them.

– Iyan Ha

The entry uses 2743 parts and 6 minifigures and 5 animals are included. Just like the Castle sets we got in the last few years updated versions of classic figures are used, adding to the nostalgic feel of this set.

The inside of the building is packed with many small details and great parts to enhance the build. And a lot of round tiles with wood pattern really connect the outside of the building with the inside.

A final fun detail is the prison with skeleton like we’ve seen in many LEGO sets. This really completes the nostalgic feel of this idea for me. I can only encourage you to have a look at the project using the link below, and to see and read more about all the details in this lush build.

BUILDING 100 YEARS OF WONDER!
NEW LEGO DISNEY CASTLE SET

The LEGO Group today revealed an all-new LEGO Disney Castle set, to celebrate 100 Years of Disney. The new 4,837-piece set is a celebration of the playful joy and creativity that the LEGO Group and Disney have inspired in families around the world over the past 24 years.

The new LEGO Disney Castle set is a homage to the iconic castle at the beginning of all Disney movies.

Outside, the castle is decorated with fireworks.

Talking about her role as the Creative Design Lead for LEGO Disney, Benedikte Stamp said, “Over the last century, Disney has created some of the world’s greatest stories which are loved by generation after generation. Just like these stories, LEGO play transcends age, language, culture and interests to inspire millions of children to build and create anything they can image. As a designer, it’s my role to bring together the magic of the two brands and give fans of all ages the chance to celebrate their love for Disney stories through building.”

The new LEGO | Disney Castle set will be available globally via LEGO Stores and at LEGO.com/Castle for LEGO VIPs from 1st July 2023, and for all from 4th July 2023 at the recommended retail price of $399.99 / €399.99 / £344.99.
