Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the assembly and use of the LEGO Kingdoms Knight's Showdown set, model 7950. This set allows you to recreate a battle scene between a King's army soldier and a Dragon Knight soldier, featuring a functional catapult.
The set includes two minifigures: one King's army soldier and one Dragon Knight soldier, along with a catapult and a weapons rack.
Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your LEGO Kingdoms Knight's Showdown set. Ensure all pieces are present before beginning.
- Unpack Components: Carefully open the packaging and lay out all LEGO bricks and minifigure parts on a clean, flat surface.
- Assemble Minifigures:
- Connect the legs to the torso, and the torso to the head.
- Attach the helmet and any accessories (swords, shields) to each minifigure.
- Ensure the King's army soldier (red and white armor) and the Dragon Knight soldier (dark gray armor) are correctly identified.
- Construct the Catapult:
Begin by building the base of the catapult. Attach the wheels to the axle pieces, then secure them to the main frame.

Next, assemble the arm of the catapult and attach it to the base using the pivot points. Ensure the arm can move freely.
- Build the Weapons Rack: Assemble the small stand for the weapons, ensuring it is stable. Place any additional weapons or accessories on the rack.
- Final Check: Verify that all connections are secure and that the catapult's arm moves as intended.
Operating Instructions
The primary interactive feature of this set is the catapult.
- Loading the Catapult: Place a small, round LEGO projectile (not included, but typically a 1x1 round brick or similar) into the bucket at the end of the catapult arm.
- Preparing to Fire: Gently push down on the catapult arm until it locks into a lower position, or is held in place by hand.
- Firing the Catapult: Release the catapult arm to launch the projectile. Adjust the angle and force for desired trajectory.
Note: The catapult is designed for light projectiles. Do not use excessive force or non-LEGO objects, as this may damage the set or cause injury.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity of your LEGO set.
- Cleaning: To clean LEGO bricks, use a mild soap solution and lukewarm water (not exceeding 40°C or 104°F). Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not use hot water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation. Keep small pieces in a container to avoid loss.
- Handling: Handle the set with care to prevent pieces from breaking or detaching. Avoid stepping on or applying excessive pressure to the bricks.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Catapult arm does not launch projectiles effectively. | Incorrect assembly of the arm or pivot points; projectile too heavy or light. | Review assembly steps for the catapult arm. Ensure the arm moves freely. Use standard LEGO 1x1 round bricks as projectiles. |
| Pieces are loose or fall off easily. | Incomplete connection of bricks; worn out bricks. | Press bricks firmly together to ensure a secure connection. If bricks are old and worn, their clutch power may be reduced. |
| Missing a piece. | Piece was overlooked during unpacking or lost during assembly/play. | Carefully check the packaging and surrounding area. Contact LEGO Customer Service for replacement parts if necessary. |
