Black Falcon Fortress, along with one or two other small sets from that time. A gift from my cousin- he has a stash of old lego that he was kind enough to send a few for a birthday gift!

Unfortunately I took it apart- in my youthful ignorance I didn't realize what a treasure it was.

But that's the point! You can take it apart and put it back together.

My first Castle set was 6011 Black Knight's Treasure

I spent hours and hours playing with it.

He was always going home to his castle.

Unfortunately, he didn't arrive until 6 months ago when I finally got the 6073 BFF

Funny thing is that that was my first castle set as well, That was back in the day when TLG made many little sets the were affordable.(and included horses)Nowadays you only get 2 impluses.

Well, here's the glorious set that got me hooked on Castle, 6042 Dungeon Hunters!

This set kept me entertained forever! The ironic thing is, I never used the carriage as a prison, the Forestmen and Crusaders were always friends in my little world. But somehow, these three little guys went on journeys for hours. The knight with the heavy armor has always been perhaps my most favorite mini-fig, he always represented me in my medieval adventuring . Thank the gods, I still have this set.

Here is the order in which I got my Castle sets, if memory serves.

6009 - Black Knight

1917 - King's Catapult

1712 - Crossbow Cart

6034 - Black Monarch's Ghost

6020 - Magic Shop

6059 - Knight's Stronghold

6056 - Dragon Wagon

6036 - Skeleton Surprise

Most of them, with the exception of the Magic Shop and the Black Knight, are still largely in tact :)

I believe that my first castle set was this one but I'm not sure, I always loved these small sets, I should try to rebuild this one.

[Smidy101]

My first set was the peasants cart followed by most of the other 1984 sets. Had to wait for a many years to finally get the Blacksmith, but the wait was worth it. Its amazing what you can do with a handful of knights and a bit of imagination.

[Brad-The-Brick]

I just started collecting castle in the holday season of 2 months ago. My collection is in date-I-got-them-order.

brickmaster castle set. I got this at the henry ford lego castle adventure.

Kings Chariot. I wanted another set to make my playing with castle sets more expanded.

Draw-Bridge Defence. I got this for christmas. I castle colletion got it's first castle.

Now I search the internet, hoping to find castle 07-09 sets cheap, they seem much more appealing to me, and I'm now a cstle addict. My cousin is planning to have a lego castle war with me when we get enough sets.

[Stash2Sixx]

WOW! not quite sure how I missed this topic.

My first Castle set and first LEGO set ever was...

That was the start, and it really hasn't slowed down. Some great memories looking through this thread. Thanks.

[jamtf]

My first ever castle set was 677 Knight's Procession. I got it as a present from my mom and even remember in which store she bought it! I played a lot with it and I still have the set complete with all original pieces that belong to it and with original instructions. Unfortunately, I probably demolished and threw away the box as a kid...

[DaleDVM]

Like Stash2sixx said. I don't know how I missed this topic back in 2008.

My first set I got back in 1988.

It is still one of my all time favorites. Luckily I didn't start collecting until I was 21, so I was careful and kept all parts, instructions, and boxes in great condition. I only wish the forestmen trees came in brown back then. They would mesh into current constructions a lot better if they did.

In 2007 I aquired a 375 in pretty good condition.

This is my oldest castle set obviously as it was the first in the "Castle" line.

Here is my first LEGO Castle set:

The number of mini-figs for such a little set is amazing

[B-Lister]

My first castle set was the Forestmens Hideout, followed very closely behind, by the Black Monarch's ghost.

after that it was the Wolfpack Renegades.

I have a soft spot for all three sets, and am one part away from completing all three (I have the Renegades complete, I have the Black Monarch's ghost complete (the saddle is broken, so I do have a placeholder saddle at the moment), and I'm only missing one part of the Forestmens Hideout, but it should be here tomorrow.

[P.J. Khlotzec]

I had these three small sets when I was a kid:

My parents couldn't afford bigger sets those days but these three were great enough for me.

[Fede78]

My first Lego Castle was the 6080 King's Castle. After I bought the 6085 Black Monarch's castle.

I still have this caslels in theis boxes with their instructions but I want to put them in my city...maybe like a museum or something else.

[Nicker]

This was my first set. I got it from my great grandmother as a birthday present when I was 5 years old I think.

[UsernameMDM]

Good old Black Falcon's Fortress,

[Nikola Bathory]

Not sure if it was the very first one, but for sure one of my first Castle sets was 6073 Knight's Castle - I still have it, a great set.

Thanks to my parents for the cool toys of my childhood. I have fond memories.

Nostalgia is a great thing.

Ops, I just noticed that I've already posted in this topic. Forgive me, I really got nostalgic and carried away!

Well my brother had lots of sets that I use to play with, the main one I remember is Royal Knight's Castle. My first castle set would be the Skeleton Tower in 2007.

[The Green Brick Giant]

I don't really remember but it was a drawbridge with a Wolf Man.

[Sir Dillon]

I don't really remember but it was a drawbridge with a Wolf Man.

Sounds like Wolfpack Tower:

[CMP]

Not sure, quite a while ago. It was Knight's Kingdom I, I got 2 royal guards, the king, and a Bull knight with the brown chainmail. That's all I remember .

I do not remember what exactly what my first one is but I think I got a couple for Christmas presents so here are the earliest ones.

6012-Siege Cart

6017-King's Oarsmen (Sadly I am missing the figures for it.)

6021-Jousting Knights (Another one missing figures with other accessories but hey I still got the horses for it.)

6041-Armor Shop (I had to replace pieces for it because they went missing.)

6061-Siege Tower (Another one I need to replace pieces for like a black panel, part of the hinge plate, and all the wheels.)
