Playmobil 6000 Royal Lion Knight's Castle with Dungeon and Many Hidden Traps, Fun Imaginative Role-Play, PlaySets Suitable for Children Ages 4+

Don't make the mistake that we made and not preassemble it for an overly excited and impatient 4 year old to unwrap on Christmas day! It took a good hour plus for us to build it and my son got bored and whined quite a bit! My recommendation if you have a young child is to build it the night before so they can play with it straight away. The construction is fairly involved so you will need your thinking hat on. Once built it's an absolutely fantastic toy. The level of detail is fantastic and we've had kids aged from 3 to 8 all play with it happily together.

When my 4 year old son saw opened this box we saw him jumping up and down chanting "Fantastic"!It took around 3 hours to build, which surprisingly he was able to assemble with the special tool and dad's assistance with the instructions. This gripped his attention to the point he was happy to build in a single session and insisted on it.The plentiful supply of doors, passage ways, hideouts and routes around the set has kept him very busy. The Canon is a hit breaching the breakaway wall. There are enough characters to play with this out of the box.There are options to add a tower, extend the wall, add a dragon to a cave; even merge it with another castle.A good buy.

Really impressive bit of kit this. I have to admit that I really enjoy playing 'battles' with my son in this brilliant castle. I love the cannons - we love to set them up and fire them at the unsuspecting troops atop the towers!It's Playmobil so it's all great quality. You get a lot in this set too. Plenty to keep kids (and me!) occupied for hours.The only drawback is an issue inherent in most large Playmobil sets in that where large parts click together they can easily pop apart when being ever so slightly moved which can be a little annoying but I guess if they were tighter it may be too difficult to build or take apart again.Anyway, My son and I love it!

States on the box but not in the description "WARNING PARENTS this product will take 150 minuets to assemble"It look allot longer and caused a little friction between my wife and I. My 3 1/2 year old son was also trying to play with half the parts while construction was taking place, not what you really need first thing on Christmas day.Once completed and with no extra parts, the castle is excellent and plenty to keep ours and our sons imagination going.I am now looking to find other knights that are not Lion Knights so we can have an attacking force.

I must say i am very impressed with the quality and details of the castle.I bought it for my 4 year old son and i am enjoying it as much as him.It took me and my son 2.5 hrs to build and it was so much fun.We can spend hours playing with it.Castle is huge and sturdy.The most important thing is i finally got something which is thankfully NOT made in china.This is made in Germany and therefore the quality is excellent.I have also ordered Castle 6001 and eagerly waiting for it to be delivered.Thank you Playmobil.

Delivery was speedy arriving next day, this was impressive considering that the time was so close to Christmas and it was very well packaged. Communications were excellent, I received multiple messages informing me of delivery status & whereabouts of item.Quality item, we decided to assemble this so that it was ready for our 4 year old boy to play with when uncovered on Christmas Day and it took a couple of hours to complete (it was strangely quiet a fun task). The boy loves it and it has provided hours of fun already, he is excited to build up on his collection. Many Thanks :)

Fantastic product at a great price. VERY big and VERY good quality. Sturdily built and has loads of hidden areas for the kids to hide Playmobil figures. We've bought the extension kit from Playmobil which allows you to join this to the Hawk Knights Castle to make one GIANT castle (only £11 for the extension kit). Think this will be played with for years.

Excellent product however after putting it up for my son on his 4th birthday 9 Feb and some parts are missing.

Wow il est superbe. Mon fils est ravi

Sensacional castillo, con muchas trampas y secretos, muy recomendado si tienes posibilidad de tener un dragón, uno rojo será un complemento ideal, espero pronto lo vendan aquí, "Cranbury", cuando venderán la extensión el castillo aunque muy completo y bonito, requiere una serie de extensiones como las 6371, 6372 y 6373??

I normally don't write reviews (generally having little time for this), but the nature of the other two existing reviews encouraged me to write a "third" review for this model (i.e., Royal Lion Knight's castle) based upon my personal experience (Dec. 2015) and to help others in making a better informed and/or similar choice/purchase: I reviewed many castle options from Playmobil and other manufacturers, and had some initial misgivings when I looked at the two other (Amazon) reviews for this specific model, but I returned to this model (no. 6000) for both its particular design options (e.g., manor house, gate house, etc.) and its relatively lower cost versus other simpler, cheaper designs and other more complex and expensive models (e.g., the very expensive Empire castle set [which did look great]). While I agree with one of the other reviewers that the packaging of parts could have been done better done (see other review[s] on Amazon), the accompanying directions can be followed quite well --despite the small images, etc.: By a process of elimination, as one builds the castle (i.e., following the directions slowly and precisely), it does get easier and faster (naturally) as one encounters fewer parts. The assembly process still takes around two hours or so (others might assemble it faster; I took my time whilst watching a movie in the background), but the end result is well worth it. Yes, some castle pieces come undone more easily (e.g., walling pieces), but overall the castle stays together quite well. I purchased it for my son (who is 3 years and 5 months of age) and he totally adores it. I use playing with the castle with him to introduce new vocabulary and concepts. One problem was trying to find and get some wall+tower extension pieces (i.e., 6000 series) via Amazon for this Royal Lion Knight's castle set, but I did end up going to the Playmobil.USA store to order the precise extension pieces (other extension sets via Amazon seem to fit? both the Royal Lion Knights and Falcon Knights' castle sets, but I did not want to risk ordering them instead of the specific extension pieces). I also purchased a banquet table set to flesh out the castle's furniture and some more knights to augment the castle's guards. Other neat additions for the Medieval setting seem to be the Medieval family, a blacksmith's shop/forge, house+barn, a siege tower, a catapult, battering ram, and market place, which may be good birthday and christmas presents in the future.

A mi playmobil me tiene enganchado. Ninguno de sus juguetes me ha decepcionado. Por su calidad, jugabilidad, durabilidad, originalidad... este castillo no es una excepción.Tiene multitud de detalles, como una trampa que se activa al mover una palanca, un trozo de muro que se puede derribar al ser disparado con el cañón, el cañón enorme (muy potente, ojito donde se dispara), los escondites secretos, la cueva con la pared de la verja que se puede arrancar, el establo, los detalles de las puertas, con sus cerrojos, el puente levadizo, la verja que se eleva... ¡es perfecto!.Eso sí, se tarda como unas 2 horas en montar por completo. Uf. Pero eso también forma parte de la diversión.

Ich habe zunächst die Burg der Falkenritter für meinen Sohn, 3 Jahre, zu Weihnachten gekauft. Das Spielzeug kam überragend an und mein Junge konnte die Finger nicht mehr von der Burg und den Rittern lassen. Über den Jahreswechsel sag ich dann das Sonderangebot für die Ritterburg der Löwenritter und mein Sohn auch, der raufging kein anderes Thema mehr kannte. Ich hatte lange überlegt, ob ich noch eine zweite Burg kaufen sollte, tat es dann aber doch und schenkte ihm diese zum vierten Geburtstag.Die Löwenritterburg ist noch um Längen besser als die der Falkenritter. Größer, ansprechender und mit mehr Funktionen zum Spielen ausgestattet. Die ist stabil und macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Das einzig störende ist der doch unnötig komplizierte Aufbau, da man das Gefühl nicht los wird, das die immerhin 320 Einzelteile wahllos in den Tüten verteilt wurden. Somit wird der Ansicht einfache Aufbau durch die endlose Sucherei unnötig verkompliziert. Aber nachdem man die 2 1/2 Stunden hinter sich hat, ist's ein fantastisches, schickes und riesiges neues Spielzeug, was die jungen für Jahre begeistern dürfte. Und nicht vergessen, ein paar extra Löwenritter zu bestellen, da mit der Burg eindeutig zu wenig Ritter vorhanden sein, um die Festung erfolgreich gegen die Falkenritter zu verteidigen.
