Building a 3D-Printed LEGO Castle That Fits a King

By Bill Smith December 2, 2025

YouTuber ‘Nate from the Internet’ has great memories of a 1984 LEGO kit called King’s Castle, which was usually an afternoon’s worth of clashing knights and crumbling walls when he was a kid. Years later, he had a desire to return to that childhood toy, but his plan was to take it to a whole new level, such that playtime became a construction project in and of itself. To accomplish this, he used a 3D printer to reproduce the complete set at 20 times its original size, block by block and turret by turret.

By Bill Smith October 30, 2025

LEGO has finally given the green light to a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Megazord for its Ideas line, plucking the design straight from a fan’s painstakingly detailed blueprint – a blueprint submitted by TrumanBricks which, it’s worth noting, racked up a total of 10,000 supporters to push it through the review process. This round saw an all-time high for LEGO, with a whopping six sets getting approved out of a record 57 entries.
