Are you looking forward to this Lego set or perhaps a little underwhelmed like me?
It does look a bit scaled back, but I still like it.... a single horse might have made it feel complete.
@@jacobelmslie3862 yeah it’s growing on me the more I’m getting used to it but a few extra animals would have been ideal, especially a horse or two🙂
or 2 goats would have also made up for it since its new and that certainly is cool they didnt just give us the horse and cow but made a new goat... but it needs a friend@@TheDyslexicGeak
@@jacobelmslie3862 yeah just one goat is pretty poor when you think about it lol😂
Set looks good to me. My only complaints are lack of farm animals and too many stickers.
Yeah I’m surprised by the lack of animals and certainly strange not having a horse. Fortunately this is easily fixed. Stickers just seem to becoming more common place now, not great on for sets costing this much
@@TheDyslexicGeakI think it only misses a horse and an additional soldier. As far as other animals go it's a village square not a farm.
And the stickers they actually keep the price down. However the Viking village did have all prints.
Yet this set bumps over 3000p for 240. If it had prints it would be up and around 300 for sure. I think that's why prints.
@@dgray3771 yeah I totally understand the usage of stickers to keep prices down just sets used to get a good fair mix of printed pieces as well as stickers. Most sets now, apart from Modular’s, are mainly stickers. Even the huge expensive sets like Avengers Tower, that had so many stickers but hardly any printed pieces. Would be nice to see a balance again🙂
@@TheDyslexicGeak I think we got a lot of service the last ten years. Because I remember the late80s & 90s every set from city was riddled with stickers. And only the police and fire sets had prints. And those prints were minimal.
Now each dedicated theme has at least 1 printed tile. Sometimes 2.
As for castle that's a dangerous route. Castle is not known as a sticker theme. At least not the older sets. Each faction had printed emblems on the shields and the flags if flat were printed. All the brickwork on pieces were printed. Like the panels and corner pieces. Also all scroll pieces and otherwise 4 tile pieces that needed a detail had print. It's rather shocking to see sets like the majistos workshop and this village center set with stickers.
Not even the blacksmith set had stickers. And that's an ideas set.
If the set stayed as is and was let's say 280 and everything printed I say it would have been a gem. Now at 230/240 I feel it's okay. I'm not smitten. The shops definitely could have used prints for their signs.
That they didn't print all the 1 by 2s okay. But they could have left them out. I'm just no fan of stickers in Castle.
I do not think prints cost that much... I think its more about needing time for the printers. ten dollars should have more than covered it. @@dgray3771
Any "adult" themed LEGO products should have printed pieces, no stickers, especially for that price. That's my only complaint
Yeah I agree, sadly stickers are coming the norm, even more disappointing when spending £400+ on sets like Avengers Tower and Gringotts Bank only to see sheets of stickers
I was hoping to pair it with the medieval blacksmith, but it looks like the blacksmith will tower over this in comparison.
Yeah the Blacksmith is a rather large set on its own, kinda need a smaller scale version to fit the village🙂
It looks good, but you’re right. In some photos it does look very empty, especially for 3000+ pieces. It looks like it needs one more section to really finish it off.
I think it might be the way the display looks in the box, when placed closer together it looks more full if you get me. I wish there had been a third building that would have been ideal🙂
In my personal opinion I do see where the piece count comes in as the buildings themselves can be fully closed and displayed from many different angles. They can also be opened for a wide spread. This fuller enclosed look is something I hope Lego continues to do in their other themes.
Yeah I see what you mean, I think the main box image hides a lot of the pieces making it look smaller than it perhaps is. I really hope we get more Castle/Medieval based sets that we can add to our castle display’s🙂
As a display spread out this is awesome. Having the castle spread behind it on a deeper end table. Also including the Forrest men hideout, majistos workshop and the blacksmith I'm happy.
@@dgray3771 it will be interesting to see how it displays with the castle and Blacksmith, I have a feeling the smith will tower over the village as it’s quite a tall set🙂
@@TheDyslexicGeak @dgray3771 My fingers are crossed for more castle/medieval sets 🤞 This will look fantastic with the Blacksmith set and Lion knights castle! Can’t wait for the Mountain Fortress from Bricklink to ship and the series 3 Forestman Stronghold 😍
@@TheDyslexicGeak Best thing to do is keep the Blacksmith to a side, and have the Majisto workshop and the forrestmen tower between. That way the scale difference will be less visible.
Initially I felt underwhelmed, perhaps because it has been leaked for so long and built up for so long. After watching several reviews I definitely will be purchasing. I think it will display well with the Lion Knights castle. Especially with a little MOC work to build up the landscaping.
Yeah that’s probably it, my expectations were probably too high. It will be interesting too see what moc’s come about, bit of a blank canvas to work with. I do hope to see it for myself next month and then decide if I will buy it or wait🙂
Agree. Feel a bit disappointed. Not sure on the colour of the buildings, and how they all go together to make a square. Also not enough animals.
Just to add, I will still get it when it goes on sale (same with the Lion knights castle). I know you will too 😂
Yeah it’s an odd set, I can’t decide if I like it or not, it’s very polarising. I agree it certainly needs a few more animals but that is easily solvable and not to expensive
@@Badgers_9 haha you know me too well, I will probably cave and buy it next month when I should with common sense wait for a sale😂
I agree with you. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think it just fell short of our expectations and that's disappointing. Where are the farm animals?? And stickers?! In a castle set? What???
I think the biggest challenge with this set is the designers having to keep the set at £200, so I guess they were limited. Yeah stickers are getting worse, especially seeing as we’re not getting many printed pieces in sets at all. Used to be a balance of stickers and printed pieces but doesn’t seem to be the case in recent years
I am just thankful we got a classic theme back this way. I wish for more pirates, wild West and Castle. Maybe even good ol Johnny Thunder
Yeah it’s nice seeing castle sets again, I really wish Lego would bring back castle/pirates as a theme, they would make so much money. Clearly there is demand for these types of sets🙂
@@TheDyslexicGeak ya just look at the 379 $ brick link castle. 30k sold in 3 hrs
@@KingTiger2000 yeah that’s insane, this surely must show Lego just how much people like and desire castle sets🙂
@@KingTiger2000Still don't think the brick link castle is all that impressive. And it only uses known pieces. If anything I really want the Falcon Fortress remade. As well as the Wolfpack hideout.
@@dgray3771 hopefully they remake those as a wolf pack is in this new village set. but I respectfully disagree on the castle. It sold out within 3 hrs, despite its hefty price of 379 US$. and so many were commenting that they missed it and were very sad. To me its a unique and impressive castle. the interior is lacking sadly. but its a Great display piece for collectors. i sadly missed out.
I would have preferred if they sold the two buildings separately at ~$115 each. Too expensive as is for a non licensed set
I mean it’s a lot of pieces for £200. I was fearing it would be north of £250. I hope Lego make some more, cheaper medieval buildings🙂
I agree. I’m a little underwhelmed but I’m not quite sure what is missing. It does seem really expensive.
I think I wish there were more minifigs and stalls or something like that to flesh it out some more. I’ll most likely just wait for a sale or at least double VIP. But I’m sure I’ll get it at some point.
I think it’s probably more underwhelming because I build it up so much in my head as to what form the set would take. But as you say, it’s missing something I’m just can’t put my finger on what that is, maybe an extra building would help
It misses printed tiles for all the details. Having every detail a sticker takes away wow factor. Lion knights castle has no stickers, the blacksmith has no stickers, Forrestmen hideout no stickers. Majistos workshop and this set...stickers.
@@dgray3771 ahh I didn’t realise the Lion Knights Castle was all printed pieces, I’ve yet to build mine. I can’t get my head around Lego sticker policy. Modular buildings are always printed pieces with no stickers yet on the flagship £400+ sets, plenty of sticker sheets yet few printed pieces, I don’t get it
@@TheDyslexicGeak no castle set prior to Majistos workshop had stickers. All the way back to the yellow castle. And subsequent early sets.
@@dgray3771 ahh I didn’t know that, I’m not a hater of stickers just really wish Lego would do more prints along side stickers
Hmm I know what you mean, I would guess it had more like 2000 pieces. Especially compared to some other large count buildings, it looks a bit underwhelming.. also perhaps a bit more of a play set than something I would want to display. I’ll wait to see it in real life but I’m with you and very unsure at the moment!
It kinda feels like half of a set, I appreciate Lego keeping the price of the set within reason and will no doubt sell well I expect but as we don’t get many castle/medieval sets it’s a little underwhelming. I just wish Lego would make more sets like these, not just token sets every few years, there is clearly a demand for them
My first impression was feeling a bit disappointed in the set by I am gradually warming to it. It’s one of those sets where I need to watch other TH-camrs video reviews and also see it in person. I’m sure I’ll buy it it though and can be upgraded to something more substantial I’m sure.
I was expecting so much more but I didn’t realise it was going to be a £200 so it was always going to be a little small. Personally as we don’t get many castle sets I wish they had made it a £300 and really gone to town with it🙂
Thank you! I feel heard😂
Hope the video helped, at the end of the day I have to be honest and say how I genuinely feel about set🙂
They've lost the 80s mindset of how to make something medieval. The aesthetic is shyte.
Yeah I understand where your coming from, when compared to the one from 2009, it’s a step back. Plus that box art is terrible, should have stuck with the classic yellow like the Lion Knights Castle🙂
To me, it looks too much like a kids focused play set.
The size of the castle tower compared to the houses just looks really odd and out of scale.
And a cart but no horse? 😂
I don’t know. It doesn’t look great imho and I think it’s overpriced, by at least £60.
It looks like it should have been 2 separate playsets for £60 - £70 each tbh.
Edit = I had a check, the original medieval market village from 2009 had a horse, 2 cows and 8 mini figs. Also, the houses opened up so you could have them closed as entire buildings. Not open backed like these.
I don’t think the pricing is to bad in fairness, considering it’s 3k+ pieces. It just feel as though it need an extra building, certainly a few more animals. I just hope this isn’t the last medieval/castle set Lego do for a long time
@@TheDyslexicGeak that’s a good point mate. I think in a way it looks like there are less pieces then there is, if that makes sense.
Me too mate. Definitely needs some animals, or at least a horse for that cart! Haha
And me too man, would be a shame if that’s it.
Would be better if it was more modular rather than swing opening
Yeah a set more like the Medieval Blacksmith would have been amazing but would likely have cost a lot more money.
I actually love the book case style of the castle and these sets... though I want to separate the inn and pubb into separate buildings
@@jacobelmslie3862 yeah separate buildings would have been a better way to go. I’m warming to the set but really want to see it in person🙂
I am sure it is even better in person, and cant wait until someone can post it next to the castle... I will get it eventually but now LEGO has me trained to wait for excellent GWP since if I do not might not have anything else to buy....
@@TheDyslexicGeak
@@jacobelmslie3862 that’s what’s I’m looking forward to seeing, this next to both the blacksmith and the castle. I have the blacksmith and castle but haven’t yet built the castle, need more space lol. Definitely worth hanging on for either a decent GWP or double Insider points🙂
Same as you. Had high hopes for this but now have very mixed feelings. Maybe once I see more images etc. I could see myself getting it on a sale I think. If it looks good with the blacksmith I could be swayed
I think that it’s going to be a set needed to be seen in person, I keep seeing different images and I’m warming to it, just feel the set has been limited due to making it £200 set
@@TheDyslexicGeak agree. Tbh this is the type of set that could have sold me on lion knights for a nice little display but now I’m wavering a bit. Would be nice if they had executed it as well as the Viking set.
@@Ultra_bricks it’s strange is it, the Viking village is a lot cheaper but is pretty much perfect, this one has doesn’t have that same feel. Maybe because the Viking set is on plates it all fits together, this one doesn’t have the same cohesion. I hope it looks better in person🙂
I think it's an excellent set at its core-HOWEVER, I definitely am a little disappointed in a number of aspects about it. It just doesn't have anything that truly impresses me, and there are some things that I find lacklustre.
I still think it's a quality set, just not everything I had hoped or expected to see.
It’s certainly not a bad set, just feel the budget of the set has perhaps restricted what could have been achieved. Hopefully this won’t be the last medieval/castle set Lego make for a good few years, annoyingly they don’t tend to make them often
Looks like a creator set in terms of finishing and details. I don't expect rivendell finishing but a more refined roof design and more detailed buildings. Not for me
Yeah I know what you mean but I feel it’s a set Lego couldn’t fully realise by keeping to a £200 budget. A set as anticipated as this should have really pushed the boat out, yes it would make it more expensive but people would still buy it, look how quickly that bricklink fortress sold out.
@@TheDyslexicGeak i agree with you on the cost aspect. Sub 300 it's difficult to blame them. But lately these bricklink fan designs raised the bar pretty high with polished and really detailed facades, roofs and rocky elements. It's difficult for the eye to go back to rectangle building and weird pixel roofs After that 😅
@@sylvaingarel4753 that’s very true, one thing I am noticing is how good the moc community is, getting better than actual Lego designs, just look at that Hulkbuster moc, how on earth Lego couldn’t come up with that I don’t know
The architecture looks somewhat bland and uninspired. It has no presence on the shelf. Compare this to Snow White's cottage. I know where I will drop my money.
That’s kinda it, the fact they are separate buildings feels a little like half a set, but I guess Lego wanted to keep the price of the set at £200. I just really wish Lego would make more castle based sets again so we can add to the this and Lion Knights Castle. Sadly I feel this is another one off, medieval based set
It looks awful, as if they have chopped unrelated buildings in half and put them together randomly in a Frankenstein fashion. They don't look like they belong together in the same town, even. So this is a definite skip. Thanks for the video.
I get the feeling that the budget for the set meant a lot of compromises had to be made in order to keep it at £200. I know this is already an expensive set but given we get so few castle based sets, I kinda wish Lego went big and made another huge flagship set, along the scale of the Lions Knights Castle. I hope this isn’t the last medieval type set we get for a long time but I fear it might well be.
I don't like the incohesive building colors. In what world would a medieval village use these colors for buildings? Red... what? I personally like the look of the older 2009 village a LOT more because it's very cohesive and medieval looking lol
@@SimplyEricc Yes, I agree.
@@TheDyslexicGeak Yes, maybe. As the other commenter said, they need to make cohesive sets.
@@SimplyEricc Yes the colours are all wrong. Red would have been used in Scandinavia (and still is, since the pigment is cheap due to our copper mines), but NOT together with black and white. You never see old red buildings next to black and white buildings here. Black and white is much further south in Europe. And the materials are all wrong too, in the same way.
It definitely looks unfinished & bland, especially the execution of the roof sections and the buildings in total. Also not a fan of the tree. Looks bulky and out of place with the ninjago horn parts.The proportions of the buildings are way too off compared to the blacksmith.. could have been such a great set... what a missed chance... Gonna wait until this goes on sale
It certainly does have an unfinished look about it. I love the castle/smith building but the other building looks a little underwhelming. As nice as it is to see a set at £200 it does feel as though this hindered what could have been an amazing set had the budget been a little higher🙂
