Emerald City and Kiamo Ko Castle (LEGO 75689)

About this set

This is LEGO Wicked set 75689, Emerald City and Gammako Castle, a fantasy castle build with 860 pieces and a 3/5 difficulty rating. The finished model centres on a green castle with gold spires and a black tower, and the green-to-gold contrast reads clearly against the grey base. The set includes a rainbow bridge, a gate, a throne, a dragon and minifigures. The rainbow bridge is a wide horizontal structure, so build the deck in sections and attach them to the main castle afterwards rather than stressing a single connection point. The black tower and gold spires use slender parts, so line up the studs before pressing down. The gate and throne sit inside the castle, so place them before you close up the walls; there is little room to adjust later. Treat the dragon as a separate sub-build and assemble it once the castle is done. Splitting the 860 pieces across two or three sessions works well: start with the grey base and green walls, then move on to the tower, spires and bridge. This set suits fantasy fans who like minifigure-scale scenes and storytelling, and on display it reads as a wide castle layout where the rainbow bridge plays off the dark tower.
