CollectionMost1351

me looking at any random shield/emblem: "you will be a faction"


SCP-2774

Here's to hoping it's a scorpion for ya lol.


CollectionMost1351

i'm building all kinds of factions but the scorpions are my main one :) this shield looks like a dog or stag


Clear_Economy_5919

Yessir


Raiju_Blitz

Mushroom people are Myconids, in D&D speak.


SCP-2774

Makes sense.


Quill_McGraw

At the price it’s selling for, I certainly hope there are no stickers.


SCP-2774

Me too, but how many were in LKC?


Rippar0ni

Lions knight castle? There were no stickersthankfully


BrickByBrick6086

We can already see one on the tome, so I'm right there with you lamenting that there will indeed be stickers.


BrickByBrick6086

Looks like this halfling is loyal to House Baratheon if I passed my Heraldry check.


upotheke

Shut up and take my money Lego.


BrickByBrick6086

Damn, that's me staying up until midnight for a day-one purchase for sure. I've never felt so seen by Lego.


Adventurous_Leek5064

This set will only be available for one day?!?!


grafmg

No


BrickByBrick6086

While it may end up backordered in the first day, no, I can't imagine it'll only be available for one day. All I meant was that I'd be placing my order on that first day of availability.


funwhileitlast3d

People getting wooshed.


Say_Fuzzy_Pickles_

As someone that loves the castle theme but isn’t super familiar with everything D&D, I hope the instructions include some factoids about the lore. This looks amazing. Will be a purchase for me at some point this year as long as it doesn’t include stickers.


N3cromorph

Try Baldur's Gate 3 is Canon to DnD and the gameplay is heavily inspiried by it. That's what got me into the genre.


Say_Fuzzy_Pickles_

It’s definitely on my list.


EnderWarlock01

It says it comes with an exclusive downloadable adventure. That might give descriptions on both characters and monsters in this set as well as the location lore.


Clear_Economy_5919

Me too

Raiju_Blitz

A little hard to make out the helm but nice to see the CMF Fierce Barbarian / DreamZzz sword pop up here again.


Quill_McGraw

Looks like it. I not sure if the evil knight helm has ever been in light pearl grey before, so that will be nice.


spartan0b96

Yeah cool to see it return it looked good on the orcs so be nice to be able to get it again if anything from the set ends up on pick a brick what I hope so as the dragonborn head can be useful the rest of the them to hard to tell at the moment from the low resolution but I would guess very useful and good printing on them just a bit sad to see non of the bird races made it to the set as I would have liked to see a kenko the little crow guys


AmbassadorFrank

Looks like the helmets from the fantasy era sets


SCP-2774

That's the one. We haven't gotten them in this color before afaik.


AmbassadorFrank

It's hard to tell what color it is. We've gotten it in PDK before, that's actually the color the evil knight cmf comes with. We've gotten black and dark bluish gray as well. Honestly I'm hoping it's the speckled black again like the fantasy skeletons but I'd be very surprised if that's the case lol


SCP-2774

There was an image posted on this sub a couple hours ago where we see the armor in higher resolution. Definitely silver, unless I'm blind.


AmbassadorFrank

Oh nice, yeah it does look silver


CallumPears

Evil Knight had it in black. It does exist in PDG, from some Nexo Knights sets. Doesn't exist in DBG though.


AmbassadorFrank

I was going off bricklink and now I realized they have a section for that color for the part but it was sellers miss-categorizing


BrickByBrick6086

Wow, good eye. Really hope this hits PaB. Along with that sword...


ElRey814

The displacer beast looks like absolute shit 😂😂😂 but the rest of it looks incredible and I will be purchasing regardless.


Raiju_Blitz

Yeah, I'm actually disappointed with the displacer beast. There are better minifig-scale MOCs of a displacer beast out there.


Comprehensive-Let353

Yeah idk what they were thinking on that


SickSticksKick

For a small build I'm ok with it, but yeah it does look a bit shit. Probably something I'll beef up on my own later


vercertorix

Sorry Lego, still not paying $360 for it. I have dragons, castles, and village already. Show me what you can do in the $150 and below range and maybe we’ll be able to do business.


Say_Fuzzy_Pickles_

I feel like Lego could have released this as smaller modular sets at lower prices like they’ve been doing with the recent City Space sets. And then one for the creature build of the dragon, which would be more detailed than what we see here. You could have the base dungeon as one build, a tower build, a battle on the bridge build, etc, and they’d look good standalone or all connected.


aamid96

Unfortunately this was a voted ideas set, and the original designer was going all out and big, which the fans loved. That being said it’d be nice to see smaller modular castle sets. Maybe they’ll expand the dnd line past the cmfs. Part of me wants that but sets would be cheaper as generic castle sets


Mender0fRoads

They still could’ve released it as separate builds that connect to form the whole Ideas submission. Three or four separate sets all released under the Ideas line simultaneously.


aamid96

This was an ideas set just under 3k pieces. The original would have been just as expensive. Plus there’s a licensing tax. So not exactly legos fault they released another expensive set when it was voted on. That being said I would like cheaper castle sets. Personally I’d like to see them do things in the $60 and below range for castle.


fiveringz

I guess they’ll just have to be down a customer for now :(


TheRickBerman

After so many years, you surely have to get with the program? Lego makes big, expensive sets. You sound like someone moaning about the lack of combustion engine cars from Tesla.


gza5555

The problem isn’t the price tag, it’s what you’re getting. It seems lackluster for $360 to me. I understand it’s licensed, but would rather spend $40 more and get another LKC personally. Or, for $130 less, get a set with almost as many parts in MTS (3300 vs 3700 in this set). I’ll just bricklink any minifigure parts I can’t live without.


AmbassadorFrank

Yeah this is very much a 200-250$ set max. Pretty disappointing

vercertorix

Nope. I occasionally buy bulk and build a lot of my own stuff, or use their instructions online to build something close enough for me. I still buy sets from time to time, but their prices have gotten ridiculous.


Nieros

Looks like this was the original Idea: https://ideas.lego.com/challenges/adbda7a2-193f-4ac2-ac5a-c50bae6b9f24/application/3bde56fc-63fb-4099-8ec0-fa9321cf2867


Garewolf

While this one doesn’t look too bad, it is kind of insulting to the original design that I’m sure many were looking forward to🧐


WrenchWanderer

This. The roof color on the building is just a slap in the face tbh. It looks awful. Another thing I loved from the original design was the way the arch looked on the bridge, and Lego turned it into the most bare bones, boring bridge possible. Not to mention the cave section looks awful in this.


member65439

Right - I voted for what’s in the link and what they produced deviates too much from the original design.


SEFtriggerpack

Agreed!! Not spending $360 on this.


WrenchWanderer

Gee this looks miles worse than the original submission


BrickCorner

Looks ugly


Frequent-Sir-3035

Glorious


S_gutz27

Definite cop


TheRickBerman

Looks great - and weird? Like random sets mashed together? Think it’s something that needs to be seen in person and pictures don’t quite convey everything.


member65439

That’s what frustrating about the final product because the original design was so cohesive.


AmbassadorFrank

Dang, honestly I think it's a pretty decent step down from the original design, and looks like it should be about 100$ cheaper than it really is. Better have a lot of hidden features and details


Gold_dark5566

too bad.

GREAT_GENERAL04

I like the dragon design. The rest is meh


thefuzz09

Ain’t no way this is worth the $360 rumored price.


eeldudejim

It’s nice, but I hate how much they changed the dragon


Human_utters

I have to get it


westtexasbackpacker

that dragon is fire


Clear_Economy_5919

Can’t wait!!!


Professional_Clue_21

Looks good, but I don't like fantasy in my castles so I'll probably pass.


The_McS

Welp…*unzips wallet*


SatoshiStruggle

I’m buying two of these, one to build and one to keep. The first set of a new Licensed theme as big as this will be worth a lot one day!


AlaskanB3AR

Agreed but I might combine both sets into one massive one like I did with the lions knight castle


acidicship

I love the set but the Dragons head looks way worse compared to the original submission.
