The recent release of the medieval market square is another great example for that. Within castle Wolfpack is one of the most famous factions. With only 4 sets released in the nineties, it still gets quite a lot of attention with references in CMF figures and even a torso in the mentioned 2024 set.

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.

Classicstylecastle Annual 2024: An Impressive And Fun Classic LEGO Magazine! https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/classicstylecastle-annual-2024-an-impressive-and-fun-classic-lego-magazine/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/classicstylecastle-annual-2024-an-impressive-and-fun-classic-lego-magazine/#comments Wed, 10 Jan 2024 18:37:36 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=34602 We like to discuss all kinds of LEGO magazines here at The Brick Post. Most of these are targeted at kids. Today we have a special one for you however. The 2024 Annual from Classicstylecastle is a great magazine style document for all ages! It offers stories, games, building instructions (and other custom digital LEGO designs), craft, puzzles and so much more! And it’s available to download for free right now.

In this annual a lot of the factions get dedicated pages, like Wolfpack, forestman and dragon masters.

It’s not only classic castle that can be found here, other classic themes like Space, Wild West, Adventurers and Paradisa are also appreciated. In total it’s 67 pages of Classic LEGO fun! Even the ‘adverts’ are done in a very fitting way. I won’t give all away here because you should of course have a look for yourself.

But this is quite a nice activity book for younger fans as well, with puzzles, colouring pages and even a Wolfpack Easter Bunny mask!

Last but not least Classicstylecastle also shows some sketches how some of his MOCs started and there’s a competition where you can win quite an impressive bundle of his building instructions.

After my first look at the annual I immediately got some bricks out and started building a few of the available models. I had to make a few minor adjustments for not having the right parts at hand. As I discovered, it was quite easy to substitute the missing parts without fundamentally changing the models. In total there are 17 instructions included.  They vary in sizes so here’s a few that I picked with parts I had available:

There’s a full village market included with a lot of different stalls and medieval market activities like a jester on stilts, I choose to build the ‘Butcher’s Stall’ and the ‘Village Stocks’. Even as a vegetarian I love the creativity for the rotisserie pig roast. It’s just some basic parts used but it manages to capture the shape of a pig really well! So of course I recommend building that one. The stocks are funny for a minifig scene, so even though the build was simple, I really liked it!

From the other builds I picked the ‘Hedgerow Handcart’and the ‘Wolfpack Ballista’. With only a small number of sets released for the Wolfpack faction it’s fun to get a few more builds for them. And Forestmen is surely one of the other fan favourite factions from Classic Castle. If you know how many sets there were, be sure to take the quiz in the annual by the way, it will test your knowledge with fun and interesting questions like that.

And to be honest this is just a quick overview, there’s a lot more to get into! So if you’re a Classic LEGO fan, be sure to download the annual and spend a day with your family enjoying all the fun it has to offer. You can download the full version here: https://linktr.ee/classicstylecastle

A big thank you to Classicstylecastle for providing the community with such a well produced annual! It’s awesome to see the dedication and enthusiasm that no doubt has gone into creating this. And I will no doubt build a few more of the instructions once this feature is online.
