The LEGO set 7037, titled “Tower Raid,” is a notable part of LEGOs Castle series, specifically within the subtheme “Knights Kingdom.” Introduced in 2008, this engaging set comprises 364 pieces that come together to form a dynamic medieval scene featuring a tower defense scenario.
Central to the set is a well-detailed tower standing as the focal defense structure, equipped with various medieval-themed elements such as a winch-operated drawbridge, a prison cell, weaponry, and defensive positions for mini-figure knights to hold against attackers. The design intricately captures the essence of medieval architecture and defense mechanisms, making it not only a play set but also a piece that sparks interest in historical warfare and castle fortifications.
The Tower Raid set includes four mini-figures, designed to represent two factions — the defending knights adorned in their characteristic armor and helmets, and the attacking trolls, a creative touch that adds a fantasy element to the historical theme. Trolls came with their unique weapons, and the knights were equipped with swords and shields, ready for battle. Additionally, a horse-drawn troll siege tower adds to the scenario, enhancing the playability and encouraging imaginative scenarios of siege warfare.
LEGO 7037 stands out for its play value, allowing for reenactment of medieval battles, as well as for its educational value, introducing young builders to concepts of history and architecture. Its popularity among LEGO fans of all ages can be attributed not only to its detailed design and engaging theme but also to the quality and creativity that LEGO invests in each of its sets.
