Lego Black Falcon Fortress Review

Lego Black Falcon Fortress 10039
(pictures taken a year ago)


The classic Legend Lego Black Falcon Fortress 10039. Ended on ebay on 21 March.


This is the second review on Lego Castle, the black falcon fortress is a collector's set. It consists of 6 knights and 2 horses, with a total of 424 pieces.

In 2004, my sister helped me to purchased 2 boxes in a Lego warehouse sales, at SGD 20 per box. She bought a few boxes, she mentioned that most people snapped up more than 1 box on that day. I sold 1 box to US shortly, it was my first listed item on US ebay, people were skeptical on my listing, in the end it was sold for less than USD30. I knew this box was suppose to cost more than SGD100.. but too bad.

2 days ago, I came across this set on ebay and was interested to know it's final value... it was a reproduction of the original released back in the 80s, a much sought after set. Finally sold for USD 153.59. That is SGD 215 without postage! A tenfold increase.

My current box is stored away in the cupboard, with no intention of opening it. Come to think of it, should not have sold my extra set back then... at least I can have a box opened.

Lego Medieval Market Village Review



Last Saturday fixed this lego set, it was actually purchased back in June/July last year on Singapore ebay. The history went back to more than 20 years ago when I was given the lego sets Legoland 6010 -Supply Wagon and Legoland 6022 -Horse Cart. Both sets were released in 1984, set 6010 was the peasant with his horse-cart selling weapons and set 6022 was 2 guards on a horse-cart. So at that time I was wondering how much fun it would be with a lego medieval village/town.

And finally in 2009, lego released this set 10193 Medieval Market Village, with a total 1601 pieces.


Let the fun begins....1600 pieces. Took around 3-4 hrs to complete.

The complete village...
The two town houses.
The Inn.
Back of the Inn.
The bar counter.
Bedroom with dressing table.

The lady's house interior.

The classic Blacksmith set created by Daniel. Currently there is a set on ebay at a whopping USD440.

Blacksmith's house front, with the frog at the water wheel.

Back of the Blacksmith's house is the stable.

Blacksmith at work..

Chimney with fire.

Blacksmith's house interior.

This is the complete set, actually it looks empty, work can be done on the river bank, plants or trees, building a pavement path, more ducks and horses... just when I'm free to get the lego pieces, if there are available in the shop.

Purchased some of the additional pieces, using 1 dog for display.

The market place with extras...

Jester is from the Lego Drawbridge Defense set.

The market can be expanded further using the set Indiana Jones 7195 (with a stall and cart), haven't opened up that set.

The cow-cart. (Using 18 pieces for this customized cart)..
