Adding Techno to a moving castle!

" I couldn't resist as I encountered a good deal unexpected at a local shop while accompanying my kid for his birthday gift. It reminds me of my oldest day Lego Castle in the 80s while my kid was unbelievable happy with such an offer. First this #70317 Fortrex comes with 3 knights including the exclusive AXL. I like AXL's size although felt a bit let down afterward because of its armorless body. It was an one piece oversize upper body; while the arms are one piece WITHOUT the wrist articulation like most minifigures have. After all , AXL has the impressive size like the Hulk minifig. My kid enjoys the most the blue helmet knight called Clay and its not so attractive vehicle. It wasn't an impressive two wheels looking vehicle but well a Lego fans will make upgrade. Its wings are small but we assume it flies. #70315 is my kids' favorite as well. Now jumping to the villain that black monster solider has a magic book (good accessory) you 'd love to add into your collection. Then back to the good guys' Fortrex, it features a Round Table that sits 4 knights and able to put Merlok at the center. It was a great idea and good execution. I truly enjoyed the knights to talk with their mentor before heading to a battle. My pictures had #70324 attached as it looks much completed when it is put into play. I do highly recommend it. "
