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 👌
Unpopular opinion but it lacks some character compared with the Medieval Blacksmith. That set was on another level.
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
Good set, but it feels a bit empty; needs chickens, cows, a horse, and a few more figs. That poor lone goat supplying the cheese shop...
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
The immediate flashback to childhood on hearing the word “Batlord!”
You should see CMF Series 24
I got to say the set looks a lot better on video. I'm still on the fence though, the lack of animals and detailing in places like the roofs, is quiet dissapointing. I'm more excited for the upcoming d&d set to be honest, can't wait for the official reveal!
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 😊
Part of this reminds me of the Guarded Inn from the 1980s, probably the first set I can remember owning as a kid.
Such a beautiful model, almost looks like a MOC
Thank you for the review. I am impressed with all the different vocations they have packed into this set: shield maker, cheese maker, tax collector, farm, inn, thief, guards. And each one has a little part of the build to call their own. I know you liked the build of the castle better but for "eye candy" this one looks more pleasing to me.
Well, this set is a 4.8, which is excellent, but the Lion Knights Castle was an absolute 4.95, which is one of the best sets ever released in LEGO history. So it's a tough competition.
1:40 This may be the only time I actually prefer a sticker on a set. Having the option to flip it upside down, to hang the tapestry, or even change which block it gets put on is something I quite like. It allows for use in Mocks, which a printed element may not.
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 .
@@FAMBEEZO So you can hang it from the ceiling. In the set it is on a piece which attaches to a bar at the bottom.
Really love this set with the exception of 2 things: all those stickers and 2:29 the red/black part of the house doesn't fit with the rest of the buildings.
Is it weird I'm more hyped about Wolfpack making a return than anything else about this set?
Sadly it has new redesigned logo :/
@@Lordodragonss the new logo is cool
I love these two sets. One of Lego's most beautiful sets in recent years.
at 2:01 you showed the Bat Lord 6007 and i got this Set on my first School Day! Thanks for the memory 🦇
One more cool detail is that the half of the set with the tower and the red building are basically a remake of another old set, 6061 Guarded Inn!
The set actually has nods to the Guarded inn like you said but also MMV and the village raid sets.
Love the price change in the sale ad for the goat. Knock that bricklink price down.
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.
Another fantastic video review Tiago mate. The fact you get quite a few buildings in this set with over 3k pieces is awesome. Also love the little mini builds to make up what looks like a stunning medieval setting for a great looking village
I do love the nod, in the form of tudor’d red walls, to the old Guarded Inn!
The rooms have good space inside which makes it more real, more beautiful and more fun when playing.
I wasnt won over by the images, but the shots from this video have completely won me over 🤩
THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES 🤩 🐉 perfect for my dragons to burninate!
TROGDORRRR!!!!!!
Seems to me that this theme will be like the winter theme. A great looking set each year
My castle-loving self needs to save up money ASAP for this, the castle, and the gift with purchase...oh AND Rivendell...gonna be an expensive year haha. Thankfully I already have the blacksmith
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
I love the color of the inn.
I’m not too sure what it is about it but it fits so well
This is a great set. The only thing missing is more minifigs and animals.
The one thing really throwing me off is the farmhouse roof. It seems rushed and not finished I don’t know…
It might just be me but I feel like this set looks messy. My eyes don’t know where to look and overall it’s just not as pleasing to look at as the Castle set, for example.
I love how this set has mini figures with yellow face’s!👍👍
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
Super hyped for this set!!! You are my favourite TH-camr Tiago! obrigado por tudo.
Obrigado eu!
Didn’t care much for this set until I saw it in person. It’s a stunning set. Will grab it one of these days.
Happy day! we get to see it in real colors and with the castle (sort of) I like it even more (except for the sticker blight) but I guess I will be careful with it. Thank you for making this video, the only thing it is missing is more viewing with the castle, and setting all the minis and accessories with them to show how it might look set up on a table. wow $230.... tough sell but I worth saving up for.... now just need word on when the right GWP will be made...
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
Lion Knight's is indeed a "magical" build, which is to be expected for $400. This set is a great parts pack for 2x builders like myself. I already have the Ideas Treehouse converted to Forestmen, on a 4 baseplate MILS, and for my town, 4 goats & herders, cows, ho9rses, carts, a 2x version of the 2009 set (my only vintage purchase, riddled with brittle brown), and a 2x Blacksmith shop. I also built an expanded Majisto Workshop with 2 of the GWP. I took 3 of the Creator Castle and built the blue roof Black Falcon Knight's castle by Made With Brix. Now I'm making it even bigger by building a rocky island/ruined castle underneath. This is a glorious age for dedicated castle builders even like me who missed everything before Blacksmith.
What I really like is how the tower and red building is a homage to 6067 from the 80s.
How can you make milk for whole village with only one goat? 😅
The goat is GOATED
Get more of them it's not that hard or add some cows.
Why is the tree brown? It should be black to match the lions Knight castle.
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,
2-3 more Lion Knights with few more farm animals would have been perfect.
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.
@@ClassicStudStudios I agree one knight is enough but another farm animal would be preferred.
I can tell before viewing that you appreciate this set just by the length of the video. 😊
This set is going to be AMAZING for MOC building :)
So objectivity this is a very cool set. But perhaps because we’ve been spoiled, I’m a little bit disappointed. I’ve had so much fun with the blacksmith and the Viking village…this seems a little flat somehow.
I have been waiting for this review so badly! perfect set!
Looks great but needs more goat. I don't think putting an extra goat in there would have killed anyone. Hopefully they put it in other sets or we'll have the same prob as the original goat
I had thought they would include more animals and had looked forward to the set for this reason.
Beautiful set. Hopefully Lego will keep making this and pirate theme.
Based on the orientation of the anvil, the shieldsmith appears to be left handed, as you want the horn to be on the same side as your tong hand! Fun fact
Looks fantastic! Definitely a day one buy for me!
Tower guard looks like he is a Frenchman who will insult you
Like others have mentioned this set looks so much better on video and probably even better in person. Day one purchase for me!
I am so disappointed that they added so many stickers (I really wish they had the building signs and the wanted / sale / beware posters as prints - these can be endlessly used in mocs or other sets). A bit miffed about so few animals and no leg print for the wolfpack guy - but these are minor complaints. This being said, the builds themselves are great and I can't wait to get my hands on it. The piece count / price is great as well (would have paid 10 extra for prints though).
I didn't quite get why you said the inn/guard tower was better separated. I find all 5 buildings oddly connected - I mean, it's clear that the inn shouldn't give into the painters and the cheesemaker into the woodworker and so on ) but at least in the 3 cottages you can argue it's a family of peasants working together. The inn needs at least a staircase to get to the upper floor xD ? Or what am I missing here/
i dont know why they made the roofs so bright.. that almost kills the set for me. The old onces were perfect dark / Brown and now they are way to bright. Also, where are the animals, no horse or cow??
Good solid set to be completed by another goat (white) from series 25 collection ("Goatherd") and maybe another animal. A discount will be appreciable...
I love how this looks and all the little details. I rememver totally loving “daily life” sets like this. a lot of potential for imagination. Perfect “starting your adventure!” location.
This set is absolutely amazing! I love the design and color scheme
Looks really great! Only problem is I will DEFINITELY have to buy the Lions Knight's castle now! 😂
Uhh ohhh 😂 RIP wallet
@@TiagoCatarino my wallet died long ago! 🤣
Looks fantastic will go nice with my lions Knight castle awesome review 👍
Yes, they look amazing together!
This village actually is meant to accompany the LKC as this village makes things for the king and queen.
The original set is so much more esthetically pleasing. While I like the variety in colors and styles just from a building perspective, I would not want this on display on a shelf. For a kid's toy, cool, for an adult collector, I'll have to pass, unfortunately.
I really like it because you could probably compare it to rivendell as well and really start building a lord of the rings type Lego display. After all this set is goated 😁
Definitely picking this one up wish it had a bit more but a very nice set I am hyped for
i still hope that one day lego do stuff in the right proportions
A little weird how Tiago did not said anything how poorly scaled Castle is which you can especially see here wit this set, they do not match well together.
Medieval Town Square scale is similar to Medieval Blacksmith instead which i prefer much more.
The chess board increased my desire to buy this by 75%
isan't it a town square rather than a market? Since everyone is missing animals
Stickers on $200+ sets is pretty obnoxious, especially on sets like this one that LEGO knows will sell like crazy.
It's incredibly rare to find LEGO sets $200+ or at any price range for that matter without stickers. Sadly. But I get your point
The price has nothing to do with the amount of stickers. It's the size of the set. Not sure what you mean.
We need more castle sets. One every year, not to much because I can’t buy everything
Looks like LEGO's going all in on DEI with their mini figure's occupations. Clever, I'm sure no one will notice.
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.
Yeah Wolfpack is back!
I'm soo getting this! but that's to be expected as I also have the castle, the two GWP sets and a few CMF that fit the theme. it's almost a must lol. no joke I do actually like it.
Might "enhance" it a bit with some more minifigs and animals, or some details, and possibly also split the inn and workshop, to two seperate buildings, but taht I have to see when I get it.
Sounds like a plan! Enjoy! :)
My only concern with this set being displayed with the Lion Knights Castle is that the tree trunk colors are different. In the Castle it’s black and in the Village it’s brown.
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
This set is amazing, and a good price
There needs to be more affordable castle sets
I wish it had more animals, cows especially, the designer mentioned they went to buy cows, so the cows should be included, even though the parents aren't there
The goat is cool
I agree that the set isn't as colourful as i would've liked but it fits with the medieval theme i think and overall it will be well worth the purchase
Nice set to add more of my spare parts like animals.
Im definitely getting this set as i have the lion knights castle and i have the old castle sets so its a perfect addition to my medieval themed lego kingdom. I even have the goat herder (found today) and basil the bat lord (have to remake his staff but the axe they gave him in cmf 25 is good still. )
I think one of the requirements for any Lego set to be considered great is if a non-builder is able to tell, without knowing anything else about it, when it is done. Many Lego sets have this quality but many do not, and look like just an unwieldy hodgepodge (that Lego charges a lot for). This is one of those sets. Not saying parts of it aren’t nice but it definitely does not look “done”. No thank you.
your camera is so crisp that we can actually tell how thick the stickers are on the tiles :D
It looks cool. Though the Viking village just beats this in every regard. Also I don’t like how this makes the castle look small.
Yes
Yes
I do want this set, but I also want a full line with sub themes, like we used to have.
The box art makes me sad, I wish it had the yellow background. Maybe an unpopular opinion but I really dislike all the 18+ box art, and if I am being honest it makes me less excited about this set
Most of people dont like the "Black box"...
I will definitely get this one. Now I really need to get the castle. I have already got the Blacksmith from Ideas!
I know that they have gone for realism in their colour scheme for this set, but I honestly think they should have tried to recreate the colour scheme of the old set this is based on instead. People should recognise Lego as trying to be like Lego, rather than Lego trying to be like reality.
Ohh man, this looks sooo good!
The nougat timber should have been reddish brown, the color they used blends together with the olive green.
Miss the days of custom baseplates. Not always a fan of building the bases.
I remember a ocean guard station on a blue baseplate with white dots on them so you know where to place the building. Old set, I don't know the number only that I paid with a lot of dimes and cents for it.
I really want this set damn it
🤩
Kinda wanna get this to use as a Nibelheim from FF7. Would have to make a custom watertower to go with it though.
Well…
In That Case…
I’ll Build THIS First, Then I Wii Build My Lion Knights…(been saving it😊)!
personally, I'm dissapointed by Market Square. I feel like creators put too many ideas into too small set to fit them all. The "three hinged buildings" look like forcefully sticked together, Inn lack any interior and barely fit two chairs, the cheesemaker hut... seriously, does anyone even asked for such thing? And this one got the most room to breathe, ffs.
I much more prefered the original Market Street. It wasn't so packed, but at the same time both the Inn and the blacksmith had just enough space to look natural, even after closing the buildings (stable and blacksmith are ok together). The new one, on the other hand... well, there isn't even a wall separating the guards house from the Inn's guest room :/
This is gorgeous, takes me right back to my childhood.
I would have liked to see a blacksmith comparison 😢
I don't have it built at the moment! Sorry :/
@@TiagoCatarino no worries. I understand . Mine isn't built ATM either 😅 Thanks for the great review!
Snow White vs market place ! I think I’m gonna go with Snow White it’s just pops out and it’s Disney . I love the medieval theme, but I think I’m gonna wait for dungeons and dragons. In April I think I could do without these extra media buildings. I have the blacksmith and the three in one castle and the Viking village so far maybe on sale I might get the marketplace. If it hits later this year
2:05 Medieval villages having muted color schemes is very inaccurate as most of them were super colorful.
now people can build lumbridge of runescape using lego
I already used PaB to get more animals to fill it 😂
shield Smith looks like a painter to me
I will wait for BAM to have all the pieces, nowadays you dont even want to get whole set xD
What parts are used for the thatch roof?
I’m thinking of adding this to my winter village as an ‘old town’ or LARP area, but would need to add some snow to the roofs…
It’s like the Canterberry Tales *Iron* Age
Great video.What are your thoughts on the future of the castle sets?
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
The yellow box was for 90 years of play right? Not just classic themes?
And while prints are nice, the tapestry being a sticker allows you to flip the sticker the other way and be able to "hang" the tapestry in MOCs so im ok with it
Its amazing how these two sets fit together, both are completely ugly. Its sad that LEGO can release such beautiful medieval sets as Balcksmith, and on the other hand releases an ugly castle and an ugly town square 😥
Wait…you think the lion castle is ugly?, haven’t heard anyone say that before.
As for the blacksmith, keep in mind the village is modeled to be more simple, as the castle is ALSO simple
@@ClassicStudStudios I heard a lot of opinions saying that the castle is ugly. I watched live presentations of the castle with my friends during an online LEGO event and we were so disappointed, at first we thought it was some kind of joke. A big, gray block, there were dozens of much nicer castles on LEGO ideas and they made such an eyesore 😥
@@GalaktyczneKlocki I respect your opinion!, but personally I love how the lion castle turned out!, but again to each their own!
B A S E D. Both sets compeltly missing the point of classic castle.
