The LEGO 5618 set, part of the Castle theme under the sub-theme Troll Warriors, was released in 2008. Titled “Troll Warrior”, this set focuses on bringing to life a whimsical and fantastical aspect of medieval warfare through the eyes of LEGO. It contains a small number of pieces, specifically 19 elements, designed to build a troll character, a horse, and accessories such as weapons and a flag.
This set is quite compact but packs a lot of character. The troll figure itself is a standout aspect of this set, reflecting LEGOs attention to detail and creativity in designing characters that spark imagination. The troll, unlike regular LEGO minifigures, is larger and features distinct, fantasy-inspired markings and attire. Equipped with a massive warhammer, the troll is ready for battle. The horse provided in the set adds an element of mobility, suggesting scenes of the troll charging into battle or patrolling the territories.
Given its size and contents, LEGO 5618 serves both as a great introduction to the Castle theme for younger fans and a collectible for seasoned LEGO enthusiasts who appreciate the rich diversity of the LEGO fantasy universe. Its compact nature makes it an excellent choice for a small gift or an expansion to existing LEGO medieval setups, allowing for creative play scenarios involving battles, adventures, or guard duties in the imaginative realm of castles and trolls.
