Another addition to the Oxford Empire castle series. We have here quite a large central tower and two other side towers. The main gate has a more advanced mechanism than the main castle... advanced in the sense that there's a string and a pulley inside as opposed to just blocks swinging open.
This set is imposing, especially when it is together with the other castle.
Of course Oxford has the usual siege weapon gimmicks. Nice to have I suppose...
There is also a trebuchet-like engine. With all the castle sets I now have, there's an abundance of these things. But what I really want is a siege tower or two! I know that Lego has made a few of those, but the prices for them are ridiculous.
Overall a very nice set. It goes quite well with the main castle. Now Oxford needs to make a few civilian sets to make a real medieval town! Of course, it would be very hard indeed to compete with Lego in that department.
