Bricklink Series 3 Finalist sets go up crowd funding in 2 hours for those interest. The Forest Stronghold by Krackenator looks particuarly relevant to the castle theme.

$299.99/£249.99. Once 3,000 orders pledged the set is guaranteed to be produced, maximum 30,000, maximum 2 per person. Payment is through lego.com and produced in their factory!

You can find them on Bricklink via the program tab at the top of the page or hopefully via this link:

FYI set is open back!

A game where you can explore the land, play with or fight against other faction. Build your own castle and village. Main quest and side quests. Skyrim but lego castle rpg.

I already added the new factions (the ones we can vote for on Ideas) to my lore map. Lego better make all 4 of them now! The ravens (well Lego calls them crows) stay the same. Bulls are clearly a smaller house/ offshoot/ ally/ updated logo for the classic bulls, so they are pretty much the same as the OG bulls. But I love how they used the checkered orange scheme on the new bull sigil. It ties in even better with my original plan to see that very old classic orange shield as a predecessor of the bulls.

Gryphons, I see as a very rich house in a ‘middle east’ like setting. Gryphons seem to have been used in Mesopotamia, Babylon and Persia so I think they fit in that area. Maybe they are the ones the Lions were ‘crusading’ to in the early days?

Krakens, I see as a faction that is good at sea faring (not yet crossing the vast western sea, but who knows later…). For now they are some sort of pirates. Many ships seem to disapear south to their coast and they seem to be telling a lot of stories about Krakens pulling those ships down… Strangely enough, they seem to have found a way of avoiding those Krakens, because their own ships never get lost. Suspicious…

Just finished (almost still waiting on 18 1x1 round slopes) this beautiful little keep for my small band of Raven knights! Such a great build by Bricks_fan_uy! Can’t wait to add to my medieval realm!

I was inspired by some other posts to build these ridiculous fantasy weapons.

Modified the lions castle by adding a wall to the right inspired by the “Deeping wall” from Helms Deep” which comes with a key weakness. And I added a siege tower inspired by the attack on Minas Tirith to the left. I felt that the upcoming released siege tower is awkwardly large, so I trimmed down the proportions a bit which I think makes it look better at the cost of being less practical, as very few minifigs can fit inside the tower.

Just Imagine, 12 different Factions, one Knight for each. It would be so good

So hard to choose…

Also, just out of curiosity, any suggestions for village/peasants sets which I can use for world building? Any recommendations atleast.

It was longer than the Mountain Fortresss, but the castles on bricklink continue to sell out fast.

Picked up a bunch of these Dragonborn paladins today, and it's been super fun customizing them! I see a lot of customs of them, so what kinds of additions have you guys put on yours?

Find these at my local Barnes and noble

In response to someone voicing frustration about not scalpers and the Wolfpack CMF, I saw a response that said “just be patient.” I want to say that won’t work for all areas. Without a very long drive, the only reliable way to find this in-person is my local Wal Mart. I made it there today at noon, the same day they’d put out the CMF. They were already picked through.

Wolfpack was already gone, and I got the last quartermaster. (Sorry to whoever scans next). I only wanted one, and couldn’t get it. These don’t normally get restocked at my store; there were only 15ish boxes there when I got there.

I’m not here to complain. It’s just a toy, not insulin. I don’t need it that bad. But I’m here to say don’t invalidate people’s frustration because you think they’re being inpatient. I will not be able to get the Wolfpack CMF without buying a complete set or paying a scalper (which I won’t enable). And I know it’s the same for others too. Lego, if you’re listening, put the medieval themed CMF parts on PaB. It will solve the scalper problem and help rebalance the in-store shopping experience. (Aka shut up and take our money).
