SirSven7 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 As alot of you know I have my head firmly in the past when it comes to my LEGO Love. Well on one of my regular searches for something interesting I found this little picture. Its from The LEGO idea Book 238-1 from 1963 (Link here) and a link of the actual picture is here The Pic The Castle I was wondering if this is the oldest castle LEGO made (even if they didn't sell it as a set) or if anyone can top this pic. the challenge is on for anyone to fine any older pictures by LEGO of castles. Cheers guys Quote
Saruman the White Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Lego didn't have a lot of imagination back then judging by that castle. Edited January 8, 2012 by Saruman the White Quote
rriggs Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Well, it looks old but they look suspiciously like cowboys and indians in the pic which would make it a fort not a castle..... Cheers Rog Quote
Lego_Hero Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Definitely a fort. You can see a western wagon to the right of the fort. Quote
SirSven7 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 fort, castle basically the same thing, plus if you remove the figs its anyones guess. Quote
rriggs Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 fort, castle basically the same thing Errr... No. It isn't. Cheers Rog Quote
Skipper Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Found some on this really fascinating site - clicky. Tons of pictures from LEGO's early years. No idea how to date them though. The below are the most relevant to castle. Sure, the castle's cool, but what really interests me here is the right side model: Some nice tudor buildings/church: And this one, showing the SirSven's fort in a Wild West setting: So what do I win?

Hiawatha Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) I see a lot of amazing old sets, thanks for sharing these Skipper and SirSven7. The yellow one looks incredible . Edited January 8, 2012 by Hiawatha Quote
DaleDVM Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Great old photos. We had a topic like this on Classic Castle a way back. These are some new photos to me. The first building is definately a western fort. But still interesting all the same. Quote
Vindicare Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I love the bridge over the moat on the yellow castle. The castle itself is really cool, too. I'd like them to release that has a set...Dragon Castle anyone? Quote
SirSven7 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 A friend on bricklink pointed out this image as well sure its not much of a castle but its still interesting and I have never seen it before Quote
