Recreating a Classic: 1984 KING'S CASTLE #6080

After receiving a donation of castle related elements, I got to thinking if it would be possible to recreate an old classic castle set. As a result, a close recreation of King's Castle from 1984 has been added to my castle layout.

Cool. I still have all those castles and even the original boxes.

Awesome revival of that set. Those parts found a good home.

King's Castle! I acquired this one as a Christmas present recently, and it's definitely a classic. I love your additions. That's so cool that you were able to get donations. I've built large displays too, but without any assistance, and it has been costly for me. I've thought about asking for help. I work as an elementary school teacher, so I'm not drowning in resources. But I've been through this process too, putting together old sets. I just made a Bricklink order to assemble about 6 different 6041 Armor Shop, without the expensive parts. I plan on using them as modular components of a wall to connect to my old goodies like the Guarded Inn and Blacksmith's Shop. But I love your displays here! You're so organized and clean. My rooms are a mess, and the lack of time has meant things pile up.

This is so cool. You did an amazing job recreating the set and improving it.

I will always remember getting that for Christmas 😍 Good job recreating it!

Looking great so far. To help with your tree shortage, what you could do is rob the treehouse of it's large leaves and replace the treehouse leaves with the fall colored leaves that came with the set.

It keeps looking better Alex! Love the Castle theme!

[Zabadak]

Nice little mods on the castle. And the spot it got is good. Maybe it is nice to lift it a view bricks. Like a low hill. And with a good visable path to the entrance connected with the other path/road 😊

Good looks on the Castle. I love mine. It's even nicer when I interlock/ hook up the guarded Inn and blacksmith and black falcons Castle. Change the flags to one faction and it's a big Castle!

[BrickHQ]

You updated the set and made it better

[teddylong]

Excellent. I think I will try and build something similar

6080 is by far the best Lego castle in my collection but can’t wait to see the ones coming soon

Ever since they announced the release of the 90th anniversary Castle, I've been meaning to get my old Castle sets out of storage. But they are way back and it's going to be a trip down memory lane to get to them.
I didn't have the King's Castle though, but lots of other sets.
And yes, they used to put more minifigs in the sets, so it would be easier then to build an army.

I think it would look good to extend the river over to the new castle and surround it and make it a moat, perfect to use with the drawbridge!

[acimagination]

when it comes to lego old themes is sometimes amazing more than the newer stuff. that recreated lego castle set looks good! currently i dont have any castle sets but do have some medieval theme minifigs like the ones that came in the CMF series. have a Wolfpack pack minifig and have another one. the dragon knight one I believe its called. good stuff.

[countrabricksbuildcraze]

nice one on a red build outta extra parts 😊 I'm doing same for Ninjago city set as I payed for every temple set so thort to set me a task to build it outta extra part s 😊.

[charliern]

awesome build! though it might look better next to the river so the drawbridge has some purpose

[brickartisan]

the castle is another great addition to the scene. I’m sure in time, you’ll be able to create battle scenes (Game of Thrones style) 😄

[bflippsytrance]

Still have the old castles from 1984 (king's castle and knight's castle) and the black monarch's castle, the castle inn, the smithy and the siege tower. I think on bricklink and brickowl you should be able to get a lot of missing pieces but for sure various sizes ground plates are not easy to come by.

The location of the castle is ok, and at the back of the layout you could built a medieval village with own moc buildings.
