A few concluding points for the structure itself!!!
This is certainly an improved castle desing compared to the Knights Empire Castle! Its a steck/system-x hybrid design! It has greater stability and that is mainly because of the steck-like endings and connections of the parts!
Credit must also go to the system-x connectors that are more tight in place! Playmobil has produced a design that uses more round yellow connectors than the red ones.This makes the connections tighter and stronger!
However, there is still a danger of the castle falling apart if picked up all together!
Attachment one shows with green circles the strong connection points of the castle, the two steck corners...
I have also pointed out with a red circle the weakness of the southwestern wall...as a single unit its strong...but as a whole, the weight drags it down with result being falling appart if the castle is not held from the gate and the big tower to move around!
There is more space to maneuvre within the castle!
attachment 2 This gives to a chld more oportunity to recreate various rooms or areas within the castle as he/she likes them to be, stables, dungeons. throneroom etc.. But I say again...there should have been an iron bars door in the ground floor to make a good dungeon... the prisoner can fall from the trap door in the first floor room, I can see knights chasing each other over the cliff and the lader being raised so that they cannot get into the tower!!!!
Most importantly, the battlements are designed in a good proportional hight as opposed to a klicky!!!
This makes the castle more real like!!!
