Vladek's Dark Fortress (#8877)

Vladek's Dark Fortress (#8877) was one of my favorite sets as a kid. Revisiting this set so many years later was so much fun.

I rebuilt the original fortress and put it in front of me as I designed my half scale version. I made sure to re-create every detail in the original set, from the dumping lava bucket to the crystal ball. Just like the real set, both the knights vehicles actually fire. The draw bridge even goes up and down, an essential feature for Vladek to keep Jayko, Santis, Rascus and Danju out of his fortress. The Knights are included as micro figures in their iconic brightly-colored armor.

I repurposed several pieces from the Knight's Kingdom theme, the silver knight swords, the double sided lion/scorpion flags, the orange power disk, and even the Vladek minifigure's mask became the big one.
