This old Lego Creator kit was languishing on the old toys shelf in the bedroom and seeing as I had success with the Lego Adventurer's Kit we didn't even know we owned I went and grabbed it and tried to build it.
Sadly some pieces were missing but the main sections for the drawbridge and castle entrance were there baring one l-Shape and three thin 2 x 1s. No big problem, bucket of random bricks that also languished on the shelving unit to the rescue and I have a functioning castle moat and drawbridge.
One minifigure is missing but so are most of the pieces for his raft. I could have probably cobbled it together from the Bucket O'Bricks but as the little guy to ride it is gone I didn't see the point. Strangely his paddle was in the box.
I think this dates back to trying to get the brat interested in Lego when he was small but it was a failed experiment. He preferred video games. Different story now though he is collecting the Minecraft series and only has 2 builds left from the current cycle and is moving in to Star Wars ships. Yes, we have a house full of Lego and it isn't cheap and we can't really afford it but with no holidays on the horizon I figure I'm only repurposing that funding and the other half is letting me so long may it reign!
