Hello again LEGO Fans, I apologise for my absence and have decided to
bring you a little treat I have been holding for a while now as a way to making
it up to you. Back in November I took a little break from my usual format to show
you the LEGO idea books from the late 80s and 90s, well it’s time to do it
again except now it’s with Castle sets.
Below we have the pages from all the LEGO idea books from the 80s and 90s as well as some very special photos of prototype builds that sadly never got made.
From the twenty plus idea books LEGO explored Castle on five occasions,
in Idea Books 6000-1 (1980), 200-4 (1985), 250-1(1987), 260-1 (1990) and 267-1
(1997). Below are all the pictures, I apologise if any are slightly dark. The
book from 1980 is particularly interesting as it tells a story of modern (or
space) Lego figures going back in time to the castle era (I think), anyway have
fun.

As always thank you very much for taking the time to look
