First off, if nothing else, this set is worth it for the minifigs alone. You get an awesome golden knight and a queen, both unique to this set, as well as a standard crown knight and the rare jester minifig. On the evil side of things, you get an awesome grim reaper-esque skeleton with skeleton horse, a black skeleton, and another white skeleton. Seven minifigs is a lot for a set in this price range!
Accessories are cool too! Lots of weapons, including a flail, scythe, golden sword, crossbows, and even axes and glaives used in the tower's decor can come down if needed for a fight scene. The golden knight's armor and helmet are awesome, the shields are neat, and the queen's crown is adorable.
Secondly, the tower itself is impressive. The drawbridge mechanism works well, and the flick-fire ballista is neat too. My only complaint is that there isn't a whole lot of display (or play) room in the tower itself. To remedy this, I bought a seven dollar green baseboard with this set. The entire set fit on it perfectly. I would highly recommend purchasing the baseboard, which is a little extra cost but results in a much more satisfying play or display experience.
I bought this set on a whim, thinking of the Lego castle set I always wanted as a kid. I had fun building it; it's nothing too complex, but interesting anyway. The drawbridge mechanism is a stroke of genius. Also, when I took it home from college, my much younger siblings had a blast playing with it!
In conclusion, you can't beat the minifigs in this set for play or display purposes, and the tower is nice as well. I would recommend this set to any Lego Castle fan! It's a lot of fun, and adding a baseboard makes it even more so!Get more detail about LEGO Castle Drawbridge Defense (7079).
