6060 Knight's Challenge is a Castle set released in 1989. It depicts a jousting tournament and contains an audience stand, a weapons rack, a tapped keg, two horses and eight minifigures, including two mounted knights and a damsel. The featured knights belong to the Crusaders and the Black Knights. This set includes 160 pieces to construct a jousting event.

This set did not appear in regular catalogues and was only available via Shop at Home. It's identical to 1584 Knight's Challenge which was already available in 1988.

Description[edit | edit source]

1988's Knight's Challenge set has an above-average parts-to-mini-figure ratio. The set has 160 pieces and depicts a festive jousting tournament and spectators in and around a colourful pavilion. It features eight minifigures, including two knights on horseback, two guards, and two seated spectators from the Crusaders and Black Knights factions. A lady in a tall hat occupies the seat of honor, and a lesser spectator lingers nearby. The scene also includes a rack full of weaponry and a tapped keg on a pedestal with three mugs and two goblets for toasting the victor.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Together with 1584, this is the only set that contains both Crusaders and Black Knights
The red corner wall panels were only available here and in 1584. Other rare piece pieces were the white octagonal panels, which appeared in just two further sets.
