I agree, one key take away from the harry potter sets is that they are "inspired" by locations based on the fictional hogwarts castle, great hall, the bathroom, etc that makes it compelling to keep them in some order, where as I feel a modular castle would truly allow us to unleash unlimited combos through the castle. I can see a prison styled room, throne room, castle wall, dungeon, treasure room, gate room, target practice, market, just imagine all these individual sets sold in a way we could completely mix them up as we see fit!!! 31120 is somewhat close, it still has a design, but they could really let us go at it if they allow us to combine smaller sets into bigger sets ala harry potter 2021 wave. Pirates could severely be done the same way, pirate cave, pirate dock, pirate cliff, pirate hang out and likewise with the imperials and stuff!! one can dream haha

This is great, love it, i find it amazing that the current lego bricks can help us truly create a roman styled set if need be and these roman soldiers would be perfect for it!!!

Hehe I've been called out here for been too symmetrical on my builds, would you think changing the moat green bricks on the left side of the tower to regular grey bricks, would be an improvement or just plain boring and keep it as is?

Looks professional! straight out of a Legoland ad!!!!

Lego.com sells you plain white flags brand spanking new. it's perfect for your stickers. Imperial flags usually go for 20-30usd individually and stickers are a cheaper alternative IMHO. I tried filing a claim for a missing flag on an older set of the 2015 pirates wave and lego told me they don't make them anymore BUT they did managed to send out a couple of white flags. Good luck and thanks for the website hahaha I tried doing cricut stickers but i suck at designing them this is the easy way for me lololololol

Pffft icons, as long as is not a modular set I’m good hahaha, not really into other side sets, I just buy anything hogwarts but not stuff like hogs was, diagon alley etc, with that said I completely forgot the chess set has tiles also 🤣

I redesigned the main build, do you think this is a better or worse improvement? I tried making one room larger and then realized the second floor would look unbalanced so I made it a hang out for the imperial army So far I have a “cathedral” inspired room for letters Mini Armory with supplies room Governors room Imperial hangout I beat myself down a lot and always seek improvement but I personally feel the second floor roof is not working, don’t know if it’s too big or if I should just shrink the room completely and change the roof: Please Help: Imperial armory Governors office Signal room Rec area Orange beard still has no idea what he was rowing into haha 😢

It’s an amazing mod to be honest, love how the watchtower over looks the castle, no enemy would dare sneak upon the castle! I have a question about the empty door frame, if you flip towards the stairs would it help balance it at all or is it missing another plate of lego? Love how the throne room has an armor standing by just in case a the frightening knights dare attack it!!

Amazing combo!!! , is it possible to add an elevator shaft in the back?

So 3 orders around may 19th/18th/20th just arrived that I totally forgot about, it’s addicting ordering from bricks and pieces, and pick a brick and never know what you are going to get despite the fact that I easily forget. With that said an order that they asked me to fulfill a payment from early April got bumped up on the website for June 3rd, has a totally different number and is marked shipped lolol Silly Lego Extra armors, swords and helmets for my older sets: These are all for my interior furniture for a couple of pirate sets I have in there These are for a Statue of Liberty MOC I wanted to do, basically I lost part of the 40026 and then all of a sudden I got the urge to rebuild a nicer base inspired by the lego architecture set, I’m a huge Statue of Liberty fan i had fun building this one I was missing some pieces but that’s another order coming in, i know they sucks but Hey hahaha: Someone posted a mod here about an actual face for the 21042 architecture set that looks decent so I got the bricks for it!!! Can’t wait to place it haha

It can be, but at least throwing plastic bags never to re use them again is a bigger issue than something than can be "sanitized" now days, I am a huge germaphobe and find it hilarious people didn't have hand sanitizers on them at all times, heck the notion that they need to be told to properly wash their hands was just mind boggling to me. To be honest Lego does own BrickLink so I am use they tapped that market, who knows their actual cut, one might say they might contribute into the price drops thanks to their existing used inventory or who knows but at the end of the day what really surprises me is the fact that LEGO doesn't ever do restocks or reissues of classical sets. I get reimagined sets but literally older sets meant for the real fans who will dump all sorts of cash for sets like those if they thought about it!!

It's just amazing that you finally have a set that hits it home for you!!!! whoops, didn't think of that hahaha, I'm sure I can modify it internally lolol

you could do BBD a pirate from the Gran Cayman's! ! Aka Richard Le Noir the Red Torso could pull it off for sure, I ran into him Big Black Dick the Pirate | Big Black Dick the Pirate | Flickr

I’m hoping Lego realizes this potential, I also want to buy Lego styled bags like this!!! I ordered a big order from their service and managed to see they labeled them like A, B, C, D which was interesting to say the least!! One can dream!

Rather than throw away the lego plastic bags, why can’t they use the same exact bags they make for their famous Pick a Brick Service??? I find myself buying ziploc bags and realized why hasn’t lego attempted to make numbered reusable and reopen-able bags? I get theft might be an issue but they I rarely see opened boxes in Lego stores 🤷‍♂️

It’s a digital world, kids will play games more than Lego sets, clearly lego knows this, I buy my kids Mario sets but their interests in them is like half a day and afterwards they go back to Roblox big Lego sets will sell out fast for sure but I see them warming up the shelves afterwards including the regular friends, ninja go, monkeys and others. It’s extremely risky for physical toys to exist but lego keeps at it, it’s diminished for sure, but the only location where it’s always out of stock it’s my local legoland store since it’s a tourist location. I always visit my Walmart’s and targets and the official lego store and they are always full of sets, the one time they were fully out was when the pandemic started and right before christmas shopping

Sooo the sets shipped marked as shipped since May 24th have truly arrived at stateside now!!! They are in Houston as of Saturday, I live in San Antonio so by Wednesday I should have them!!! These and 3 more sets are arriving together so I am guessing that the new estimated window for stateside orders is 10-14 days!!! A massive improvement, thank you Lego… 😒

😢would you think think switching the door to opening from the inside work? I overlooked the 4x4 studs not being too wide 😢

I bought these too just for the door I think it would make the Castle stand out a bit, I don’t have the set so i was estimating the door height but looking at the manual I like how the door build is completely an independent wall and sad to say there was no 1x6 arch in yellow LOL, But I will follow your suggestions also!!!

OMG it feels amazing to see something Castle in a long time!! I would only change the “market, the windmill to face the inside of the castle lolol It’s the super castle we need!!!

LOL although It must be the expired transactions, I feel they just mark it as shipped and actually take the normal time to get it delivered, I mean so far it’s been 10 days since an item has been marked as shipped with a tracking number but to be honest, the tracking is still empty on both sides. 😢

don’t get scared of my pricing! I for one bought like 10 of each part, if you dialed in and went by the manual on a part for part basis it will go substantially less than that believe me!!!

Thank you!!! You are right the sand green could be used as accents!!! I spend close to 30 usd all things considered!!!

I like it, swap the roofs and it perfectly fits the 2018-2020 sets!! I always wondered where the room of Requirement fit in the castle but still this is interesting, use the sand green and it transfers into an old school set lol

They must be stepping it up for sure, all I see is my VIP points keep going up but for seriously I had an order of 577 bricks on May 31st and it’s already shipped, incidentally I had 2 Harry Potter sets from the new summer 2021 wave that’s been in the warehouse but the regular B&P have been shipped!!! It will take like close to 20 days still I think, I had an order as far back as May 24th that’s been shipped for about a week with a USPS tracking number and it hasn’t popped up stateside as of yet. We will see!!
