This is really the Lego castle I would have wanted as a kid. I've now more turned to Star Wars, but this just might fit into my budget (or I will make it fit).
If you can afford Star Wars this set is defo a good option I collect Star Wars but I love old castles and old history so I would want this just to change up from constantly getting Star Wars sets
I know, I feel sad for having to wait until adulthood to be able to afford such things. It's a wonderful little castle, so I got mine as soon as they were available. No regrets, obviously.
One thing to note, this set is not to scale with the Medieval blacksmith. It looks rather hilarious when placed together, unless you re-imagine the blacksmith to be the Kings quarters... and ignore the towers being dwarfed by a house.
This is very close to old, 90s sets in more ways than one! - The back is enclosed. Yes! - There are more than one builds suggested, and better than in the old days, they give you instructions for other ones. Yes!!! - There's a... Reasonable number of figures included. - It's not locked in to a particular theme, story or license. - There's a vast amount of play area. - There are brick-built creatures! - There are side builds. Can't believe we've come to this. - It folds out! And in what it's different, there are pretty much only good things... - It's intercompatible with itself and many other sets. - It's a good value!
What a great looking set, I really hope Lego continues to make sets like this in the future themed around castle, pirates and possibly even classic space. Great review as alwas, Jang!
Yeah! I agree. Great fits for both Castle and Pirates! Only thing that feels lacking is the minifig assortment. If they added a high-ranking soldier, another civilist, and perhaps a horse that would've done the trick!
This is the first set i bought for about 8-9 years! I was ashamed and i felt much of pressure from other people that LEGO is for kids only. Finally i said SCREW YOU all and i bought one for myself on my birthday. I am not disappointed. Building this thing was amazing. Lego quality really changed over the years. The only thing i am mixed is the Figures. When i like two guards - the blacksmith is a bit meh. There should be 5-6 figures. Also i agree about the details in the towers BUT this is LEGO! They just give You space to add something own :)
Also, technically medieval castles (At least ones that belonged to more wealthy lords) were colorfull. It's just that over many, many years the paint got washed off. Because let's be honest... People always liked colorfull things.
Very cool set. Mildly disappointed there isn't a random trapdoor with a set of falling axes or rocks like the classic "big building" theme-topping sets of old though! 😂
Yes, I would much prefer it to the green dragon. Anyway, though I am not into medieval castles and stuff I have this set as it looks very nice in reality!
If you stick the chalice at the top of the tower, you can pretend that it’s a Grail Shaped Beacon. Also, keeping with LEGO’s propensity towards somewhat dark humor in castle sets, there’s actually a treasure chest with some body parts hidden under the staircase in the windmill build, for those wondering where the skeleton was in that alternate model.
I'm thinking of buying this for my Christmas village. It's contemporary, but it could work as a European city with it's old town castle at the side or centre.
Great review, Jang. A few things vs that I really appreciate about the set: • Love the mouse holes that are consistent through the 3 builds for the small brick built mouse from the main build. • The dragon/wyvern evokes the old green dragon from the 90s in color/scale. • Nods to the old sets with things like the rock entrance to the Forestmen hideout, the trebuchet being referred to as a catapult, the armor shop, the yellow colors being reminiscent of the Black Falcon castles of old and more. One thing I love about what this does, and the Creator line in general does, is encouraging modification and customization. I am biased though as I love classic castle and this set hits me in the nostalgia bones hard.
While I will bot be getting this set, I am quite impressed by it. The alternate builds fit the theme of the main structure exceptionally well, and the customizability of the layout is great. I do think that for a set of this scale though, especially since this is a castle, there should be more figures, especially some suggestion of royalty.
Even better I built the 66 Batmobile last week. And on the last page of the instructions they had a random picture of a hotdog tree. Now I want Lego to release a hotdog tree set.
Wow, this set looks amazing! I really like that wyvern build, it's got such a charm to it. My only gripe is how few minifigs there are. It could really do with at least two more, maybe a lord and a bandit or something.
This set makes me happy Jang - and I'm glad it made you happy too ! - I've not even bought it yet but I'm so happy that LEGO decided to go ahead an make something 'classic castle' looking. Cheers Greg
I'm glad you reviewed this set. I'm leaning toward buying it. It brings me back to my childhood when I had the Black Monarch's Castle (6085). I'm a little embarassed to say that I want to build this and play with it!
Yeah, I definitely agree it's a river on the side for the watermill, love how you point out that wyvern is actually a type of dragon! It's pretty cool that LEGO included machicolations on the battlements. I bought 2 sets to make a more wholesome castle while keeping the LEGO design language.
Jang bought three of these? The mad lad. I bought just the one and really looking forward to putting together the main build since it looks so good. I might get a second set for the tower, trebuchet and extra pieces but we'll see.
Hey Jang, appreciate the video! Please keep making videos the way you are doing it right now. I'm sure pretty much everyone prefers the longer reviews to appreciate all the smaller details. That vocal minority complaining about videos being too long should go to a channel that rushes their reviews for the unpatient. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks Jang for bringing all three builds to the table and showing what the possibilities are with connecting all three build together. I'd certainly would use the left overs to dress up the main castle more. Thanks for the review.
I wonder if the damaged tall wizard's tower is an homage to Disney's Sword in the Stone. In the movie, Merlin moved into the old damaged tower that was falling apart. He even had a telescope too.
Now I would definitely prefer to have the fully molded pieces for the animals but I can just appreciate how they can find creative ways to build little animals like the chickens and the mouse and then use for parts for other things in the other builds
Of all of the new sets that popped up this summer, this was by far my favorite. It scratched my nostalgia itch for castles and was a satisfying build in its own right. It offers what I consider the classic Lego building experience of just stacking bricks on top of bricks, with minimal advanced building techniques.
I wish LEGO can bring back "Castle/Kingdom" again, but instead of being a lot of knights vs something. I would like to see a Lego Medieval Town. Sets examples: 1. Castle, 2. Blacksmith, 3. Tavern/Inn, 4. Tailor Shop, 5. Town Center with Street Markers, tree and well, Stables. 6. Fishing Docks with a big and small Boat. 7. Windmill with Crops. villagers. 8. Farming Barn Animals. villagers. 9. A Bank or TAX collector with a Robin hood. 10. Bandit camp. 11. Cottage Home. $50-60 (I bet alot of people would by to make a big village or town.) 12. Small bridge with a watch tower. 13. A Dragon Cave with treasure and Skelton. 14. Wizard Tower or Shop. 15. Barber shop. 16. A adventure Guild.
Mrs Prune is a big lego castle fan and loves your review. Could you invest an hour or two in a live stream showing us how you're using the spare pieces from the second and third builds?
This set combined would easily hold a 300 price tag. The fact you can buy 3 sets over time to complete this is fantastic and you get tons of extra pieces to mod it on your own. I wish Lego would do more like these.
As a kid the castle sets were always one of my favorites, especially the minifigures. I’d kill for an all castle/knight/medieval themed Collectible Minifigure Series.
This is certainly a cool set for those who would love to have Lego Castle build, it's not perfect, but it is a great start, and all 3 builds together go very well together (if you're willing to pay for 3 sets in all!) Cool review, Jang!
The 3 combined look pretty awesome. Im new to your channel about 3 weeks so far and your my goto reviewer when buying sets for my boys. I was huge into legos in the 80s and early 90s as a kid. Thank you for your reviews, your demeanor and pacing make it really enjoyable to watch.
Seems this is the closest we're going to get to a proper Castle line any time soon, and it'll look great next to the blacksmith set. Will definitely buy this one.
I feel like this is a very nice castle design that focuses on what's needed vs what's not. What I mean by that is you do not have a lot of interior decorations but it does give you the size and depth for the price and let's you fill ij the details as you see fit rather than having the structure be shallow but many decortations and interior decor.
It's beautiful, I love this set. Would've left out the dragon though and include a king, a queen, two more guards and maybe 3 attackers for some more play value. Because there are very, very little knight LEGO sets in the market right now.
I bought 2. Did the main build, did the tower build and took the left over pieces and made a smaller, modiffied windmill build, it worked pretty ok, there were still left over pieces, but all together things came out well. Happy building!
Thanks for going the extra mile and putting all three together, you're a legend Jang! I bought one of these when it came out, then a second one after seeing someone combine them into a beefier castle... haven't built either yet (got sidetracked by Harry Potter lego) but now I think I might need a third one... gulp... maybe I'll wait for a quiet month...
Thanks for doing the review with the added option builds all together. Looks cool. I appreciate your opinion as well. Great review. May very well but multiples for the kids to have a big castle!
This looks awesome and i really appreciate how detailed and articulate you are in your reviews. Love your content and I'm so happy we have people like you that we can count on to show us what sets have to offer.
This set is so much better than I expected it to be. The images do not show it justice. The interlock thing is brilliant, love what you did with the multiple builds and it has so much potential for mocks for a castle sets (that lego is not giving an official theme for some reason). I will probably try to grab 3x (hopefully at blackfriday discount) and try different builds and custom ones as well. Thanks for the review!
Also my 7 yo son built his own baby dragon to go with the green one, and when I showed him the little red wyvern in the tower he was like "omg a baby dragon!!" It's hilarious the kinds of things kids latch onto and reminds me that lego is just as much fun today as it was when I was his age.
I remember my first lego set i got it was a medival build with a tower and a wagon with a prison and this brings back memories like when i tossed the wagon with the horse down the stairs on accident I was 6 okey
I look forward to getting 3 sets to make the base and alternative builds. The remaining pieces can be used to add more details and customization. Adding some collectable minifigs (wizard + royalty), the minifigs from the ideas blacksmith shop, with the 3 sets of minifigs would staff the castle pretty well.
Based on this review, I'll be thinking this one over for a year or two before deciding if it gets a piece of the Lego budget, just like I am dong with the Creator 3-in-1 Pirate Ship (set 31109) after watching that review last year. Thanks for the taking the time and the expanse to do all three three builds, on live streams no less, and for such a thorough review.
This set is really well done. If all you can afford is one then you have your self a lego castle. In time you can buy another and let it grow to your imagination.
I was a bit disappointed by the first images released, but having now seen your review I find this set to be really excellent. For once the three builds are quite appealing, with a lot of details. I love the use of upside down rock jewels parts to suggest potions! Thank you for getting through the trouble of getting multiple copies of the set to review the 3 separate models AND assemble them all together!
What a superb set! Thanks Jang! I'll have to pick a trio of these up before they retire and make a nice big and complete custom castle. That Alchemist/Wizard tower is fantastic!
@ JANG's LEGO Reviews There is a new Summer 2021 Creator 3in1 set. The set is called Crocodile. The 3 official models of the set are the Crocodile, the Frog, and the Snake. The Crocodile also has a Bird and a fish skeleton. The Snake has a Mouse. And the Frog has a Fly to eat.
This is an awesome set the only thing I would add is a few extra mini figures like maybe a lord for the throne room and a pair of extra knights and maybe a horse
I want to bricklink the trebuchet to go with the main build. It would have been nice if they had incorporated the same ratchet and lever function as the draw bridge though.
I love this castle and will MOC it for use in my SixFigs Amusement park. Great video and you made me belly laugh when you started talking about the “unfortunate” skeleton and the escape route lol. 🤣
I really love this set, all three builds are great and they look great combined. Also, it's probably the best creator set yet for customizations, building giant castles or medieval style buildigns. Also glad they're doing female knights, I just want more variety in the torso/leg pieces.
I just got this and built it today and absolutely love it. I’ve always loved Lego midevil sets but missed out on all of the good ones so I’m happy to finally have a good castle.
My issues with this set basically boils down to aspects from it being a creator line set. Brick built rather than molded animals, bright yellow walls, low minifigure count, peasant is a sailor (we seriously lack medieval torso prints that aren't sailors/knights-uniforms), a low count of pieces that are usefull for medieval moc building outside of normal bricks and a handfull of armor/food pieces. I might pick it up on discount.
I bought all 3, and I'm quite happy with all of the builds, but I'm also a castle/village builder, not a city builder, so, I'm definitely going to rip them all apart and build my own moc out of them.
So when faced with this set 31120 and Police Chase at the Bank 60317, We decided to choose this set. The value proposition is much easier to swallow and we have lots of vehicles already. This has much more longevity and play value to us. Both sets were $100 at Target. It may be low on minifigures but the value per piece is on par with the best days of Lego prices. I am so happy that Creator sets are such a good value and they are where we will be spending most of our Lego money as I have an emphasis on bricks-per-dollar to build up our collection again. ( 3 years ago I was forced to sell a few thousand dollars of Lego for pennies on the dollar) Never again will I let myself get in a pinch like that financially. Thanks for reading my... Whatever this is lol.
I love medieval, and thank GOD the Lion's Knight Castle has come, because these sets look extremely wonky, too colorful, and weirdly proportioned for a medieval castle
Wait, when you showed the build at 26:17, was that made just by literally linking three sets together with no clever moc designing on your part? I'm impressed with how that looks as someone who can't seem to design anything that amazing!
This is really the Lego castle I would have wanted as a kid. I've now more turned to Star Wars, but this just might fit into my budget (or I will make it fit).
If you can afford Star Wars this set is defo a good option I collect Star Wars but I love old castles and old history so I would want this just to change up from constantly getting Star Wars sets
This is always my issue, budget for Star Wars and then great sets like this.
I know, I feel sad for having to wait until adulthood to be able to afford such things. It's a wonderful little castle, so I got mine as soon as they were available. No regrets, obviously.
Me too, I made room in my budget for this and last year's pirate ship. They are excellent modern takes on classic themes!
You should like this set if you like star wars, it has alot of gray in it.
One thing to note, this set is not to scale with the Medieval blacksmith. It looks rather hilarious when placed together, unless you re-imagine the blacksmith to be the Kings quarters... and ignore the towers being dwarfed by a house.
This is very close to old, 90s sets in more ways than one!

- It's not locked in to a particular theme, story or license.
- There's a vast amount of play area.
- There are brick-built creatures!
- There are side builds. Can't believe we've come to this.
- It folds out!
And in what it's different, there are pretty much only good things...
- It's intercompatible with itself and many other sets.
- It's a good value!
What a great looking set, I really hope Lego continues to make sets like this in the future themed around castle, pirates and possibly even classic space. Great review as alwas, Jang!
Yeah! I agree. Great fits for both Castle and Pirates! Only thing that feels lacking is the minifig assortment. If they added a high-ranking soldier, another civilist, and perhaps a horse that would've done the trick!
There are 2 classic spacer sets already!
This is the first set i bought for about 8-9 years! I was ashamed and i felt much of pressure from other people that LEGO is for kids only. Finally i said SCREW YOU all and i bought one for myself on my birthday. I am not disappointed. Building this thing was amazing. Lego quality really changed over the years.

Very cool set. Mildly disappointed there isn't a random trapdoor with a set of falling axes or rocks like the classic "big building" theme-topping sets of old though! 😂
I just wish we could have gotten one horse with the set, it’s perfectly fine without it but would have fit rather nicely
Yes, I would much prefer it to the green dragon. Anyway, though I am not into medieval castles and stuff I have this set as it looks very nice in reality!
Best Creator set in years! Thank you Jang for going to the effort of building all three and combining them!
If you stick the chalice at the top of the tower, you can pretend that it’s a Grail Shaped Beacon. Also, keeping with LEGO’s propensity towards somewhat dark humor in castle sets, there’s actually a treasure chest with some body parts hidden under the staircase in the windmill build, for those wondering where the skeleton was in that alternate model.
I'm thinking of buying this for my Christmas village. It's contemporary, but it could work as a European city with it's old town castle at the side or centre.
That would work! Great idea! Just add a ticket booth and some tourists and you're good to go.
Or make it into the set for a film studio.
Great review, Jang. A few things vs that I really appreciate about the set:
• Love the mouse holes that are consistent through the 3 builds for the small brick built mouse from the main build.
• The dragon/wyvern evokes the old green dragon from the 90s in color/scale.

The Trebuchet can launch a projectile over 300 studs
12:50 that just genuinely made me smile, thank you Jang :)
I just love the wyvern. Big enough to look awesome and small enough to not make the set too expensive or overshadow it.
My dad gave me an old castle set from when he was a kid- it's now time for me to get my own medieval castle. I love this.
Looking at the tree in the alternate build my brain just automatically said: "yes, but where are the pink frogs?" Great review!
Honestly, I thought the same!
Even better I built the 66 Batmobile last week. And on the last page of the instructions they had a random picture of a hotdog tree. Now I want Lego to release a hotdog tree set.
Wow, this set looks amazing! I really like that wyvern build, it's got such a charm to it.

Jang bought three of these? The mad lad. I bought just the one and really looking forward to putting together the main build since it looks so good. I might get a second set for the tower, trebuchet and extra pieces but we'll see.
Costco has these for $75 each right now (if you can find them at your local Costco). At that price I'm really tempted to go ahead and buy 3.
Hey Jang, appreciate the video! Please keep making videos the way you are doing it right now. I'm sure pretty much everyone prefers the longer reviews to appreciate all the smaller details. That vocal minority complaining about videos being too long should go to a channel that rushes their reviews for the unpatient.
Keep doing what you're doing!
Me, summoning Shadiversity at the top of my lungs: MACHICOLATIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!
Ah, a person of culture
Wasn't expecting to find a Shad fan here
I was thinking of Shad and his video on machiculations when Jang mentioned them.
@@Tiishen been following the man for a while now. Love his breakdowns and takes on historical accuracy (as far as medieval Europe goes)
Got this set for only 60 dollars at a bricks and minifigs. Only missing one figure and maybe 10 pieces, and I'm super happy with it.
I am impressed by the dragon, so small and yet so small, I would like to have just that dragon
Thanks Jang for bringing all three builds to the table and showing what the possibilities are with connecting all three build together. I'd certainly would use the left overs to dress up the main castle more. Thanks for the review.
Jang: *say machicolations
Me: *gets shadiversity flashbacks
Ikr lol
Glad to hear that - LEGO castles have definitely been lacking in them until now!
As soon as he said it, I suddenly wanted Shad to review the castle for historical accuracy.
I wonder if the damaged tall wizard's tower is an homage to Disney's Sword in the Stone. In the movie, Merlin moved into the old damaged tower that was falling apart. He even had a telescope too.
Could be an unconscious reference made by the designers
I also thought about that. Good observation.
Two Sets are enough to Build a nice moc.
I love it!
Now I would definitely prefer to have the fully molded pieces for the animals but I can just appreciate how they can find creative ways to build little animals like the chickens and the mouse and then use for parts for other things in the other builds
It was really cool to watch Jangbricks build all 3 sets on TH-cam and twitch
Of all of the new sets that popped up this summer, this was by far my favorite. It scratched my nostalgia itch for castles and was a satisfying build in its own right. It offers what I consider the classic Lego building experience of just stacking bricks on top of bricks, with minimal advanced building techniques.
Lego needs to bring back Medieval theme. I would drop out star wars theme and go-full on with this
Man. I love when you showcase all tree together.
The rebrickable page will be soooo cool i'm sure ! This is for me the pure lego experience, do what you want and share, adults and kids
I wish LEGO can bring back "Castle/Kingdom" again, but instead of being a lot of knights vs something. I would like to see a Lego Medieval Town.
Sets examples:
1. Castle,
2. Blacksmith,
3. Tavern/Inn,
4. Tailor Shop,
5. Town Center with Street Markers, tree and well, Stables.
6. Fishing Docks with a big and small Boat.
7. Windmill with Crops. villagers.
8. Farming Barn Animals. villagers.
9. A Bank or TAX collector with a Robin hood.
10. Bandit camp.
11. Cottage Home. $50-60 (I bet alot of people would by to make a big village or town.)
12. Small bridge with a watch tower.
13. A Dragon Cave with treasure and Skelton.
14. Wizard Tower or Shop.
15. Barber shop.
16. A adventure Guild.
Mrs Prune is a big lego castle fan and loves your review. Could you invest an hour or two in a live stream showing us how you're using the spare pieces from the second and third builds?
I cannot express how happy I am to have a review of this set in its entirety!
I love the trebuchet!
This is a cute set for real, awww
This set combined would easily hold a 300 price tag. The fact you can buy 3 sets over time to complete this is fantastic and you get tons of extra pieces to mod it on your own. I wish Lego would do more like these.

Looking forward for this review and found it amazing. As always great job,f Jang!
Really a great job making them all fit together, especially for the fans that missed out on castle theme
The 3 combined look pretty awesome. Im new to your channel about 3 weeks so far and your my goto reviewer when buying sets for my boys. I was huge into legos in the 80s and early 90s as a kid. Thank you for your reviews, your demeanor and pacing make it really enjoyable to watch.
Seems this is the closest we're going to get to a proper Castle line any time soon, and it'll look great next to the blacksmith set. Will definitely buy this one.
Actually, I think that you'll want to display this quite a ways away from the Blacksmith set. They have wildly different proportions.
I feel like this is a very nice castle design that focuses on what's needed vs what's not. What I mean by that is you do not have a lot of interior decorations but it does give you the size and depth for the price and let's you fill ij the details as you see fit rather than having the structure be shallow but many decortations and interior decor.
It's beautiful, I love this set. Would've left out the dragon though and include a king, a queen, two more guards and maybe 3 attackers for some more play value. Because there are very, very little knight LEGO sets in the market right now.
I bought 2. Did the main build, did the tower build and took the left over pieces and made a smaller, modiffied windmill build, it worked pretty ok, there were still left over pieces, but all together things came out well. Happy building!
I will now always refer to licensed minifigures as "Fleshies". Thank you Jang. 13:59
Thanks for going the extra mile and putting all three together, you're a legend Jang! I bought one of these when it came out, then a second one after seeing someone combine them into a beefier castle... haven't built either yet (got sidetracked by Harry Potter lego) but now I think I might need a third one... gulp... maybe I'll wait for a quiet month...
I’m building this set right now, it’s impressing, great video :)
Thanks for doing the review with the added option builds all together. Looks cool. I appreciate your opinion as well. Great review. May very well but multiples for the kids to have a big castle!
Oh man there are actual machicolations, somebody call Shad!
2 castle figures for 100e set?!! Come on Lego! Jang great review as always
This looks awesome and i really appreciate how detailed and articulate you are in your reviews. Love your content and I'm so happy we have people like you that we can count on to show us what sets have to offer.
The female torso in the Medieval Blacksmisth set is from Pirates of Barracuda Bay also
This is a beautiful set omg
This was just an excellent entertainment, as always 👍🏻🤩
This set is so much better than I expected it to be. The images do not show it justice. The interlock thing is brilliant, love what you did with the multiple builds and it has so much potential for mocks for a castle sets (that lego is not giving an official theme for some reason). I will probably try to grab 3x (hopefully at blackfriday discount) and try different builds and custom ones as well.
Thanks for the review!
Also my 7 yo son built his own baby dragon to go with the green one, and when I showed him the little red wyvern in the tower he was like "omg a baby dragon!!" It's hilarious the kinds of things kids latch onto and reminds me that lego is just as much fun today as it was when I was his age.
I remember my first lego set i got it was a medival build with a tower and a wagon with a prison and this brings back memories like when i tossed the wagon with the horse down the stairs on accident
I was 6 okey
I look forward to getting 3 sets to make the base and alternative builds. The remaining pieces can be used to add more details and customization.
Adding some collectable minifigs (wizard + royalty), the minifigs from the ideas blacksmith shop, with the 3 sets of minifigs would staff the castle pretty well.
This one is very high on my wish list!
Based on this review, I'll be thinking this one over for a year or two before deciding if it gets a piece of the Lego budget, just like I am dong with the Creator 3-in-1 Pirate Ship (set 31109) after watching that review last year. Thanks for the taking the time and the expanse to do all three three builds, on live streams no less, and for such a thorough review.
You can get it easily for 70$ online. For such ammount of bricks - is a steal.
This set is really well done. If all you can afford is one then you have your self a lego castle. In time you can buy another and let it grow to your imagination.
I was waiting everyday for thus review :D already got my castle, gonna enjoy watching this :D
I was a bit disappointed by the first images released, but having now seen your review I find this set to be really excellent. For once the three builds are quite appealing, with a lot of details. I love the use of upside down rock jewels parts to suggest potions!
Thank you for getting through the trouble of getting multiple copies of the set to review the 3 separate models AND assemble them all together!
This is a fine example of LEGO perfectionism.
Excited to see a Castle review!
It's a shame this didn't come with a few more varied minifigures. A wizard would've been great.
Yey! Finally! I was waiting for this, THANK YOU!:)
Omg this is so cool. I love classic Lego, and this looks like a vintage lego castle on steroids
What a superb set! Thanks Jang! I'll have to pick a trio of these up before they retire and make a nice big and complete custom castle. That Alchemist/Wizard tower is fantastic!
I think they should have included more figures, especially for how big the set is.
@ JANG's LEGO Reviews There is a new Summer 2021 Creator 3in1 set. The set is called Crocodile. The 3 official models of the set are the Crocodile, the Frog, and the Snake. The Crocodile also has a Bird and a fish skeleton. The Snake has a Mouse. And the Frog has a Fly to eat.
I have been drooling over this set ever since I first seen it.
This is an awesome set the only thing I would add is a few extra mini figures like maybe a lord for the throne room and a pair of extra knights and maybe a horse
I appreciate your commitment to your channel, buying three 100$ sets just for us to view
I want to bricklink the trebuchet to go with the main build. It would have been nice if they had incorporated the same ratchet and lever function as the draw bridge though.
this set is so visually appealing
I love this castle and will MOC it for use in my SixFigs Amusement park. Great video and you made me belly laugh when you started talking about the “unfortunate” skeleton and the escape route lol. 🤣
Thank you for the review. I really like that dragon! 🐉 🐲
Finally a truly gorgeous Lego set, and in my opinion, very reasonably priced.
You are a great TH-camr! Thanks for the joy.
I really love this set, all three builds are great and they look great combined. Also, it's probably the best creator set yet for customizations, building giant castles or medieval style buildigns.
Also glad they're doing female knights, I just want more variety in the torso/leg pieces.
I just got this and built it today and absolutely love it. I’ve always loved Lego midevil sets but missed out on all of the good ones so I’m happy to finally have a good castle.
My issues with this set basically boils down to aspects from it being a creator line set.
Brick built rather than molded animals, bright yellow walls, low minifigure count, peasant is a sailor (we seriously lack medieval torso prints that aren't sailors/knights-uniforms), a low count of pieces that are usefull for medieval moc building outside of normal bricks and a handfull of armor/food pieces.
I might pick it up on discount.
I personaly wish it had ONLY a king figure. It would be good enough and could be even cheaper.
I bought all 3, and I'm quite happy with all of the builds, but I'm also a castle/village builder, not a city builder, so, I'm definitely going to rip them all apart and build my own moc out of them.
Salt and pepper in a medieval food stand...yeah, right! 😁
So when faced with this set 31120 and Police Chase at the Bank 60317, We decided to choose this set. The value proposition is much easier to swallow and we have lots of vehicles already. This has much more longevity and play value to us. Both sets were $100 at Target. It may be low on minifigures but the value per piece is on par with the best days of Lego prices. I am so happy that Creator sets are such a good value and they are where we will be spending most of our Lego money as I have an emphasis on bricks-per-dollar to build up our collection again. ( 3 years ago I was forced to sell a few thousand dollars of Lego for pennies on the dollar) Never again will I let myself get in a pinch like that financially. Thanks for reading my... Whatever this is lol.
This set gives me nostalgic Lego Castle vibes, I love it
I love medieval, and thank GOD the Lion's Knight Castle has come, because these sets look extremely wonky, too colorful, and weirdly proportioned for a medieval castle
Wait, when you showed the build at 26:17, was that made just by literally linking three sets together with no clever moc designing on your part? I'm impressed with how that looks as someone who can't seem to design anything that amazing!
No custom work or adaptation; it's just the three official build versions from three sets built per the instructions and then clipped together.
@@JANGsLEGOreviews Thanks so much for replying. Really useful info. Have been following you for ages and never disappointed.
I soooo need this set. All three versions.
Great review! Thanks, Jang. I’m thinking about buying 3 of this set. Great to see it altogether.
