I think that it didn't have the same box art because it wasn't a remake of an old set like the lion Knights Castle or the Eldorado fortress but in not 💯% sure 👌

Yes and more knights

Lego being cheap

Castle fans: Why are there no cheap castle sets?? Also castle fans: WE WANT COWS AND CHICKENS AND MORE MINFIGS!

@@andrewd1788 This is an expensive set, they could have included more in such an expensive set. That has nothing to do with them releasing more affordable castle sets.

​@@Shorjok those things would have increased the price even more

yes.... another level is a good way to put it, just out of scale with the castle and this, which allows for so many more designs, yet, raises the cost exponentially. Imagine the Castle done to that scale! 1000 set easily... I still might have found a way to buy it, but then this all takes up way too much room as is.

I've seen lots of comments saying it looks like an esthetic downgrade from the original medieval market, too.

Agreed. It's a nice set, particularly with the hinged elements, but compared to, for example, the Funwhole Medieval Market (which is half the price and includes a full light kit), it looks kind of basic. The Medieval Blacksmith set looked and felt like a premium product and it would have been nice if they'd continued the aesthetic.

Doubtful it would happen, but it would be great if he were to review some of the Funwhole and BlueBrixx medieval sets. Most of them make this Lego set look pretty weak and uninspired.@@lifestar333

I am not too much for the blacksmith as a standard as it really is too big, but great for people who like moc scale buildings. The early medieval market was done exceptionally well for the price point. this does feel a little lack, but what is there is pretty good. PRices though... terrible for bits of plastic. but we pay... so who can blame them. @@lifestar333

You should see CMF Series 24

I'm only getting this set because of the DND set, I can't wait to make some little stories because of this town square 😊

Why would you flip a painting upside down

The flag piece that sticker is put on is upside down you want to have bar on top not bottom .

@@marcusboyo1796 So you can hang it from the ceiling. In the set it is on a piece which attaches to a bar at the bottom.

Don't forget the DnD set and the Dnd minifigure series coming too.

@@bz6046 I didn’t even know this was a thing until you said it. My wallet is crying right now

Probably won't for the original goats as they have a unique print. But the plain white goat from the CMF will be cheap. I have somehow picked up 13 of the white ones and have 2 originals.

Obrigado eu!

Sadly it has new redesigned logo :/

The goat is GOATED

Get more of them it's not that hard or add some cows.

The set actually has nods to the Guarded inn like you said but also MMV and the village raid sets.

TROGDORRRR!!!!!!

I think the brown tree is great because we get that newer cone part in reddish brown now which will be great for tree MOC building. It would be cool to match but I'm very happy with it

Yeah I agree,

Heh, “sticker blight” is the perfect phrase 🤣 stoopid stickers

Dude the castle is $400 and rivendell is $500 what did you think this was going to be it's over 3000 pieces. Also the Dnd set is $360 and Barad Dur is supposed to be over $400.

I bought the castle it is worth that I think, but very special. I think its overall the best set LEGO ever produced in terms of scale, beauty, fun for all ages and sexes, mini selection, build quality, merge of classic and modern, etc... This is almost there except for the stickers that diminish the value. At the end of the day its still just a plastic toy and 250 after tax (for some) is not the easiest thing to justify when there are a lot of good uses for that type of expenditure. The DnD set looks massively over priced to me... I do not think LEGO really considers the piece count but more the market viability. Yet people do pay top dollar for creations I just do not understand to want to buy in LEGO. I really do like this set though and will find a way to get it, but wait for the GWP that makes sense. did you get the mountain castle by chance? that is one I really wished I could have saved for and a work of brick art for sure. @@bz6046

Mm, I don’t think it needs 4 knights, that seems like a lot for a set meant to focus on peasants, let’s meet in the middle and say…it needed 1 more knight?.

@@ClassicStudStudios I feel like this set needs a knight on the watch tower and at least 2 more knights patrolling the market streets like police do to keep citizens safe. Ideally, one on the horse and 2 on the foot would have been perfect. Yes, I do agree that at least 1 more knight would have been nice.

Uhhh all lego castle sets have yellow faces? What are you On about bro

That's usually always the case unless we're talking Intelectual Property themes!

It’s just that this is a new set from an old theme, and LEGO usually uses newer colors for remake stile sets, such as dark gray and dark blueish gray.

@@nickporter8893 Not LOTR/Hobbit sets.

Thats not a Lego castle. @@bz6046

Yes, they look amazing together!

This village actually is meant to accompany the LKC as this village makes things for the king and queen.

Sounds like a plan! Enjoy! :)

Uhh ohhh 😂 RIP wallet

@@TiagoCatarino my wallet died long ago! 🤣

This is the kind of thing we can hope for. One set every other year. I think we would still see another medieval styled set before another castle which WILL come if this one does well sales wise

Also don't forget the DnD CMF series coming out in September.

@@bz6046 I hadn't forgotten so much as I didn't know about it until just now. But I am hype as hell for this. Took a look at the list of minifigs and Lego went all out on this. I figured it was just gonna be all the classes but they did some iconic af figures. Strahd von Zarovich? The Lady of Pain? Holy shit this is insane and I love it! Definitely a day one purchase for me. Thanks for telling me about this.

My thought was it makes the castle look too small!

@@andrewgwilliam4831 That is something that occurred to me as well.

Learn how big castles were. They actually did good job with scale. @@andrewgwilliam4831

@@andrewgwilliam4831 the medieval blacksmith shop does that but much worse

What is dei?

@@JonathanVachon777 It stand for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. It's code for straight white, conservative males are Hitler, and woman can do no wrong. It's evident in the gender of the roles of the characters in this box, and it's not isolated to this set.

>Well designed set >Have everything crammed toghether

i doubt that'd work, the blacksmith is too oversized to go along any other medieval set without looking a bit weird

Yes
