From The LEGO Vault - Classic Space & Castle Return

Posted By Adam White on Jun 21, 2022 | 0 comments

LEGO® CON was full of surprises and thankfully they didn’t fully leak beforehand. Which made the revealing of two new sets inspired by past classics even more impressive. They included an all-new Lion Knights’ Castle and a reimagining of the Classic Space Galaxy Explorer. Both sets are the result of the 90th Anniversary Fan Vote held by LEGO Ideas. The castle is packed with details and nods to past sets and characters. The Galaxy Explorer is a slightly larger take on the original set plus it has the option to be built into three different forms. Both sets will be released in August and if you live in North America you can pre-order the Galaxy Explorer now and the Castle will be released via VIP early access. See more of both sets below.

FROM THE LEGO VAULT TO PRESENT DAY: TWO NEW LEGO SETS REIMAGINED TO CELEBRATE THE LEGO GROUP’S 90th ANNIVERSARY

The LEGO brand is celebrating 90 years of play with two new sets that reimagine original classic themes. The launch of these sets follows a fan poll on the LEGO Ideas platform – which saw over 55,000 fans voting for their favourite past LEGO themes.

The LEGO Lion Knights’ Castle

This new interpretation of the former classic LEGO Castle theme combines new building techniques, colours and fresh decorations with fan-favourite elements. The entire set opens up to show both the inside and outside of the castle. Plus, there is loads to discover such as the opening drawbridge, dungeon trap door, movable walls, secret passages and more! In addition, the set comes with over 20 minifigures representing both soldiers, forest people and knights. Plus horses, cows and even a castle cat!

The LEGO Galaxy Explorer

This spaceship is a special LEGO 90th anniversary edition of the Classic 497 LEGO Galaxy Explorer first released in 1979. The new model still retains the classic colour scheme and blended delta wing configuration of the original ship and stands on its three retractable landing legs. Space and LEGO fans will enjoy galactic adventures with features, including four astronaut figures, a robot helper, living compartments for all, and an extendable ramp that can deploy the rover.
