Duplo Lego Castle

We picked up a lego duplo castle set from a craigslist listing today.  I was a bit unsure about paying $30 for 90+ pieces of castle pieces and the picture posted was small and didn't clearly show what pieces were included. After putting the boy to bed, I washed the lego pieces and searched online for duplo castle building instructions.

It turns out that we now have two duplo castle sets: 4776 Dragon Tower and 4779 Defense Tower.  Structurally, the Dragon Tower is complete.  We are only missing one crest (lion), two poles and two flags (one of each: lion flag and a dragon flag) from the Defense Tower.  The sets did not come with any figures or accessories, but we have duplo figures we can substitute in (and of course our dragons).

On a side note, I am excited that Lego will be opening a store in the Toronto area.  I'm looking forward to visiting the store the next time we're in town.


We ended up ordering the Duplo Knight's Castle from BrickLink.  I also picked up some extra pieces from a listing off kijiji.  Now we have enough pieces to build a decent fortress.

Building instructions for the Duplo castle sets are available on Peeron:
Dragon Tower #4776-1
Knight's Castle #4777-1
Defense Tower #4779-1
