I like to imagine that they're like the Warhammer 40k Orks when it comes to building. They would just smash random materials into each other and somehow make a sturdy fortress or a working vehicle
My head-cannon is that the Troll's are not just one race, but separate races like Orc's and Ogres united for some reason, think of it like the Goblinoid races of DnD.
I consider the big guys as trolls, and the figures as orcs It makes sense because trolls in general are portrayed as larger and dumber than orcs, with less human-like proportions. You can tell a troll is a different species right off the bat because the way their body is build is quite different (huge hump back, extremely long face, large broad shoulders but tiny legs) Lego portrayed this by creating a custom large figure mold for them Orcs on the other hand are roughly the same size and proportions as a human, (essentially green skinned humans with a rougher and more battered appearance) but are more primitive than them, like a group of barbarians on steroids. Lego portrayed this as making them recolored minifigures with roughed up clothing and crudely built armor/weapons
The trolls were a faction with units in the DS game Lego Battles. Lego Battles was inpressive RTS game with loads of lego themes, the knights and fantasy were my favorite, was like having a portable Age of Empires on the ds.
That's awesome. I'll have to look this up. I love these kinds of games. There was an actual portable Age of Empires on DS but they made it turn-based rather than RTS. Still a great game.
@@legion2590 There was also an Age of Mythology too on the DS. Those games play more like a Civilization game turn based, which is cool but also unexpected. Lego Battles plays more like RTS using the stylus like a mouse, was surprisingly decent for $20 and filled what I wanted from a portable RTS. Makes me wish Warcraft 2 got a random DS version too XD
I’ve always been a fan of heroica, and the designs of these trolls and the trolls from heroica are strikingly similar. I wonder if there could be a connection there. As always, love the vids, keep it up! The editing is AMAZING!!!
Technically they're called goblins in Heroica, but considering they're the height of normal people, the name difference probably just comes down to local language. You might be on to something!
Straight banger ep, these typa videos have been fueling my fantasy era collection of recent (new additions Troll Warship, Drawbridge defence, Medieval market, advent calendar, and many of the small box set they made). That being said, love the content and hopefully I wont miss you next year in Chicago
Those are some great sets to add to the collection! Thank you so much! I’m really glad these episodes fuel peoples interest! Honestly that makes me really want to start working on my dwarf video😂
You know that it is a somewhat curious thing, the new emblem of the trolls has an almost perfect similarity with the emblem of the orks from warhammer 40k, something that I find really funny
Another fine pint of lego tavern talk! Loved learning where they came from and what their goal in life is!, also that first troll joke made me chuckle haha!. I think the orcs biulds being shabby and hastily put together is a neat detail! I do wonder how the CMF goblin fits into all this 🤔🤔🤔 have a great day Brad!.
As a massive fan of LOTR this was the closest my childhood self got to being able to recreate parts of middle earth. Of course it only got better with the (way too short lived) lotr/hobbit line.
This is great, Brad! I learned quite a bit in this one. I came out of my dark ages in 2011 so I have some catching up to do on Fantasy Era lore. Thanks!
Just found your channel not that long ago and while I was aware of some of the stuff from the fantasy era of LEGO Castle, you introduced me to the Elflands and tons of other castle related stuff. So thank you for that. And now that you've done the Trolls, you need to do a video on the Evil Wizard and his skeleton army and maybe a video on the dwarves.
Thank you!! Glad you are enjoying these! So I plan on doing every castle faction and theme. But I jump around because I go towards what ever is interesting to me or relivent. I am also starting to do some classic space content in a new series called space port. So from now on I’m going to jump between space and castle so next video is blacktron then I’m going to do crusaders. Then I’m going to do classic space. Then I hope to do the dwarfs because I found some awesome stuff about them!
Fantasy Era Castle released during my dark ages so I'm disappointed to have missed it (especially since I eventually started making D&D minifigs on Instagram) and never realized there was lore for the faction. And I find that lore surprisingly compelling for what I always imagined were generic barbarian orcs. Fearsome mercenaries, skilled seafarers, and inventive builders. I think I'll make a d&d race/faction based on them with a few minor changes to make them less overtly villainous. Thanks for the tavern talk. It was fun learning more about a lego theme I didn't experience much. 🍻 Cheers!
I can hear them speak like the orcs from Shadows of Mordor and War and especially their chanting, even though they're "trolls" we all know they're still our favorite green skins orc bois
Great video, I really love the troll faction! Lego has been putting in significant effort to make references and entire sets dedicated to classic castle factions, but I really hope they give some of the newer factions, especially fantasy ones or the dragon knights, sets of their own. What I wouldn’t give for a dwarf or a troll centric set…..
I have a troll theory, there is only one female troll (which I am lucky enough to have in my collection) which makes me think that the troll army is like an ant hive, and the queen gives birth to all the trolls, or uses magic to conjure an infinite army.
For sure! I want to do videos about literally everything castle related so that anyone can get any castle question answered is my goal and same thing with classic space at some point!
I gotta say I love this era and wish I was old enough to appreciate it. The Giant Troll is my favorite Big Fig and it perpetually annoys me I don't have one
@@BrickingUpBrad and another question (sorry to bother !😂) will you also make a ... well I don't know if you've herd of it before, but it has to do with a very old Lego series Its from those time when Lego still called its self LEGO SYSTEM and it had a some Lego sets that had to with ninjas and samurais, and according to some of my sources it was part of the Lego castle theme!!!
@@CesarRios-tz9ym yes it was called ninja and I consider it castle to😂 I will tell you right now I plan on covering every faction and theme for castle just takes me a long time to research, write, shoot, edit and then upload a video. I also want to start doing some classic space videos. So my next tavern talk like video will be about blacktron and is going to be apart of a new series called spaceport (still working shopping the name) I also want to do pirates and a ton of other classic themes. So if you want that kind of content I recommend sticking around!!!😁 does that awnser you next few questions to lol!😂
Oh my gosh, wow. So many good points! The troll army is really one of my favorites. And so is the fantasy era. I think its one of the best themes, if not the best. What do you think? And I love your point about the western kingdom.Ha ha, they really do need to take better care of their royalty!
Trolls (or Orcs as I like to call them - old Warcraft player) are greate, in general Castle Fantasy is awsome. Sadly I heve accedent with my only troll minifigure, his torso literaly desintegrate, I don't know why, torso and arms broke into pices when I give him proper weapon and shield. I put him on another torso - similar, but now that not oryginal minifig. But back to topic ;) great video, I see that You have map that great. I always have hope tha LEGO (or somone else) create a LEGO Castle map, with all fraction and there teritories, tah would be samoe thing graat, and add lot for creating stories. For example I am curious about Blac Falcon reign and if ther is separet kingdom, domain princehood of "Red Falcons". ;)

The fantasy era is the best Castle by far imo. Skeletons, trolls, dwarves, all of it was great.
💯
The whole theme went very well with the LOTR sets that coming a few years later.
People sleep on fantasy castle
My friend was into the fantasy era castles and I was into the more grounded kingdoms line of sets I only have troll minifigs because we traded
I wholeheartedly agree!
I miss the old 2007-2009 castle era so much the nostalgia is crazy
I like to imagine that they're like the Warhammer 40k Orks when it comes to building. They would just smash random materials into each other and somehow make a sturdy fortress or a working vehicle
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

The updated logo also looks like the 40k orks logo
My head-cannon is that the Troll's are not just one race, but separate races like Orc's and Ogres united for some reason, think of it like the Goblinoid races of DnD.
These trolls/orcs whatever you wana call them, were my favorite, I really hope lego brings back a knights/kingdom style theme with them.
100 percent

This is great, Brad! I learned quite a bit in this one. I came out of my dark ages in 2011 so I have some catching up to do on Fantasy Era lore. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! My whole goal is to help people learn more about these awesome themes!!
The fantasy era is the Castle era I have the most nostalgia for, solely because of LEGO Battles.
lol I can see that!
Now I'm sad. I missed out on some pretty cool sets in my teens and 20's, Makes me wish I never stopped collecting.

I thought that they were Orcs.
Basically they are it’s just what Lego calls them
I would sell my soul to bring this line back. I love the trolls. I wish I loved them as a kid.
Awesome vid, it remember having some of the troll figs when I was younger but it’s great to know more about them
Thank you!

After you talk about every lego castle factions you should make a time line
For sure! I want to do videos about literally everything castle related so that anyone can get any castle question answered is my goal and same thing with classic space at some point!
Thanks for the comment I'm looking forward to the video about the dark knights and scorpion knights
Awesome video! Now I want to see a Disney Trolls Tavern Talk!
Never😂😂
Disney trolls?
Whoot whoot. Glad u did this one in was just talking with @Makro Bricks about lego orchs an goblins. Donyounprefer old or new versions
Old version all the way! New one is cool and I’m army building them but I love the old ones!
I gotta say I love this era and wish I was old enough to appreciate it.
The Giant Troll is my favorite Big Fig and it perpetually annoys me I don't have one
Such and awesome vid! Fun and detailed!
Thank you! I try to make those my two specialties!
YES!
Thanks for the help on this one!
I only saw these trolls from he fantasy era which I discovered when reseeing clutch powers for the nostalgia.
Great video! Lots of good info
Thank you!
I wonder if with the lion knights castle and the two minifigures from the cmf we may get this theme back I really hope we do
The CMF Orc made me want to build a troll army. Time to start buying some sets.
You should do a custom war hammer 40k build love the way the channel is headed
DUDE!!! cool info! you "NEED" to make Tavern talk but this time for the Dwarfs!!!!
Already on the list! Hoping to do that one in the next few months!

Fantasy castle is the best theme ever made... I mean, dwarves and trolls, what's not to love?
I wish for games workshop and lego collaborate to make warhammer 40k aos and old world lego sets and epic battle packs
Oh my gosh, wow. So many good points! The troll army is really one of my favorites. And so is the fantasy era. I think its one of the best themes, if not the best. What do you think? And I love your point about the western kingdom.Ha ha, they really do need to take better care of their royalty!

I would like to see an episode about the skeletons!
I with you talked about the troll in cluch powers.
The troll were my favorite faction and I still get the minifigs off bricklink when they arnt so over priced
Nice!!
Yes another tavern talk!
Hope you enjoyed this one!
I don’t know why but I always thought the bronze armor and swords were wood.
When can we have a evil wizard tavern talk
They're called troll ORC warriors.
The most underrated lego castle theme is knights kingdom ll sadly Vladek should’ve teamed up with the trolls instead of rogue knights
It definitely is underrated but not the best theme.
That would have definitely been a better ally😂
Can you do the black night a.k.a. the Dragon mate
I mean Dragon nights
My goal is to do every faction!
Ok
But those are Orcs
The official name for them from Lego is Trolls.
Will you review upcoming LOTR set (10316) ? ... thank you.
When official images gets dropped I will which is rumored for next week
@@BrickingUpBrad thank you sir
Northern sea:check
Sailors:check
Barbaric:check
Are they related to vikings?
I talk about this in my Vikings video!
Time stamp 5:06. What’s that set?
I am a fan of orcs
Do lion knights please
Which ones? Because I do plan on doing the og ones at some point here soon!
