“I have to say that any self-respecting Castle fan would have to get this set. The parts are entirely unremarkable, granted, but with a simple modification, this set could easily be incorporated into the King's Castle Siege. The figures in this set make this one impossible to... More pass up.”

“The set includes a drawbridge and a tower as the main part. The drawbridge can open onto a small ramp. The tower is structured on a rock formation, and then has four pillars supporting another layer. The next story is a mostly enclosed room with four windows and a lion head... More and crossed battleaxes on the outside. Above this are a small wall of battlements and a flick-fire missile gun.”

About Castle Fantasy Era

Fantasy Era is the name fans gave to the Castle line of 2007 to 2009, when Castle came back with monsters. In 2007 the Crown Knights fought an army of skeletons led by an evil wizard, in sets such as 7094 King's Castle Siege and 7029 Skeleton Ship Attack. In 2008 the dwarves arrived, defending their mines against the trolls and their army, who came with war wagons, a battle wheel and a troll warship. The trolls were large new figures, and the line also brought new skeleton parts and helmets.

Fantasy Era consists of 21 sets that ran from 2007 to 2009. As of today, 7094 King's Castle Siege is the most valuable Fantasy Era set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $898.
