That’s what mind blowing to me, they have the D2c set, the old ones and the recent 2018, I’m just over here like haha why but oh well. I’m still getting them, as a matter of fact I’ll try to order the parts from bricks and pieces since they are taking close to 2 months to deliver them, which should be right around the same time these come out haha

What’s confusing to me I guess is the fact they switched it up on us and went back to the aqua green roofs, everything was going great with the blueish grey roofs but noooo they changed back to the green ones from almost 20 years ago haha, I was like omg how!!! For sure they gave us elevated bases but they could had been consistent at least, oh well what can we do.

Is this new line of Modular Hogwarts the new hogwarts 2.0 or can it be the same? Anyone Planning to to fix the roofs or see what can happen?

I think it’s fair to say Forestmen Fans are the ones getting kicked to the curb here hahaha.

Amazon Spain legit put the product listings for them now

Quick question how will the elevated chamber of secrets fit with the current modular castle hehe?

Instant purchase for me hands down!!! Everyday I’m on the lookout for the 31120, I am currently building the 21325 Medieval Castle and just keep thinking how a Falcons castle will fit right in, Granted they keep boasting about how the 21325 is the largest castle set ever but I want more than a blacksmith hut, like you I will for sure aim to purchase 2!!!

How long is the usual turn around time from bricks and pieces in your experience from purchase/shipped/arrived and are your outside or inside the US?

It usually takes the next business day, I literally just submitted a help ticket that got an answer to within half a day at this rate. Missing/broken bricks are part of an automated system now that go through a screening process, if it doesn’t make it originally then they contact you about it.

brick and pieces wins to an extent when you don’t factor the shipping, handling and taxes of brick link stores. Try to get as many bricks that you can through there and resort to rarer and pieces they don’t make anymore. Yes, some pieces are a bit more expensive through lego but what saves the day is the fact you only pay for 1 shipping to get a bunch of pieces from different sets than parting it out and having it auto select different stores with different min.buy price and shipping factored in.

I am honestly still mad at myself to this day about this. I bought every single Kingdoms set/battlepacks/key chains and toys, it was around the time were the Superhero Marvel/DC Line came out when i completed those lines at the time and somehow I completely skipped the entire Castle 2013/2014 lineup, Now that I want to start looking into buying those sets, it’s impossible, i mean the asking price for kings castle is like 300-400 brand new with smaller sets going over 100usd. I could had have a blue theme castle but even parting it out will cost me 200 bucks because of rare pieces. It’s like a void in my collection, that will not happen ever again though, starting with the 2015 pirates i bought 2 each being over paranoid LOL part of me wants lego to reissue the 2013-2014 but oh well you know, lives and learns don’t youuu

Well, according to Zach the Maniac the only themes that matter are Castle, Pirates, Town, Space and Technic hahaha only then we can build like crazy and become Lego Maniacs hahaha I was watching this and thought of this post haha

Ooofff My wish from BL owning Lego was under the assumption that Lego group would at least drop some prices for cheaper old molds and pieces that don’t exist anymore. Kind of funny how they could make some money off it again lmao Don’t play with my emotions, hahaha I too was hoping for a June Release but TLG is keeping this under their chest too much!! THe US LOL August OMGGG. I was hoping June!! I Can’t wait to see it and kind of curious how will they pull this one off I think. We will see. Somehow someway I completely overlooked the fact that Lego released a castle theme back to back from the Kingdoms line, looking at those prices skyrocket I’m morbid at the notion of forking over the cash required for King’s Castle, either from parting this out or outright buying one. My boys were worn at that time but I was too focused with buying all Marvel and DC sets I completely forgot about Castle and can’t wait for the next set to be honest!! I bought a ton of extra armor from Bricks and Pieces from the Medieval Blacksmith to upgrade some of my old knights hehe

If you live in the US take advantage of Michael’s coupons to get them 25% off, you then can usually get a hefty discount on the 6tray/mini shelf combo!!

I always thought pick a brick was the only way to get legit lego bricks from them until I discovered bricks and pieces! I’m currently MOC a soldiers fort expansion and just saved 200 dollars using lego than getting somewhat the same amount through bricklink!!

I just wish for another wave of pirates so i can stock up on parts from bricks and pieces lolol

I learned how to store my Minifigures after literally visiting a local lego pop and mom shop and saw how they do it, the thing is to buy something called scrapbook casing usually a brand called Simply Tidy makes them, since I have a ton of 32x32 I used them as the base but you can literally fit them standing them up, weapons and all, comfortable inside one. I literally do this for all my lines be castle, Star Wars old trilogy, sequel, micro fighters etc. I bought the majority of my casings after Toys R us sold their stores since some of these were only made for Lego!

Heh, I will perfectly fine with waiting now heh, was doing an MOC that required 1,200 bricks and I finally sat down and pieced them all out through brick and link and did the best job that I could on bricks and pieces, at the end of the day bricks and pieces was 200 dollars cheaper than bricklink would had been if I would had purchased them all through there. Granted I have to wait it out but still very happy with the process I guess. Granted the lego pieces are a bit more expensive but it does not compare to the multiple shippings added on through the different stores IMHO.

OHHH thanks for the heads up! Wow, you figure lego owning bricklink that they might help by at least having an official store with out of print items for dirt cheap!!! Who knew the goats and animals from mill village raid would be expensive 😭

it was weird because I submitted a missing brick order the same day and got that within 7 days, but it’s disappointing that I want to purchase extra bricks but the service’s turn around time is longer

So how does that work with Bricklink part of the Lego Group though? I’m about to place a big order through there because the Lego group’s turn around time on bricks and pieces right now is insanely monumental on wait time!! Two months have passed by just waiting for 2 pieces I ordered from them.

I need help, I suck at making anything lego MOD because i'm mainly the guy who just follows the manual. I am currently trying to modify the creator 3 in 1 ship by trying to combine the brick bounty and the new 21333 pirates of barracuda bay, i tried redoing the entire hull but that would turn out monumental since the end and back need colossal work since i would have to extend them by a couple of studs. from my understanding the LDD is not supported by lego and I was trying to go that route because i'm merging parts yes but I also want to order them from pick a brick/brickling. Am I stuck doing this the old fashion way? I must have literally downloaded and re read every single building instructions possible from Lego regarding pirates so I can learn building techniques but my problem is getting all organized and mixed and matching pieces from other sets without putting them back. I need a few pointers on what's a good way to get organized so I can focus on this and get the order in knowing Lego takes months to send out them out either way!!! Just and FYI gave up on the hull since that would take too much time, my idea is just stuck on adding a door, redoing some handrails, after measuring the sails, the brickseas bounty are the right size since the black seas barracuda reimagine are too big, I love the creator ship but I also want it with pre fab parts, once I realized that ninjago and other famous ship use a brick hulls I was perfectly find with leaving it as is and just completely focus on redoing the upper part. I've been drawing the bricks so i can search for them later but my life would had been perfect with LDD or a CAD but need guidance on what to do. I'm going at this too old school i literally drew an expansion for my imperial guards set from 2015 but haven't sat down yet to know what bricks to use and accessories to make this function. My mind is at a blank now hehe i did not have this problem when I was a kid. heh thank you

ewwww i'm starting to hate creator sets because they lack pre fab parts, i'm in the middle of trying to convert my pirate ship creator 3 and 1 set to a something more prefab I guess, plus 1,500 is over kill IMHO for building. Curiously enough I went to Legoland Discovery center in my city and if you ever been to one, you know the theme is mostly old school castle and I got massive nostalgia because I want a set related to it, there was a lot of castle inspired rides that would make it worth a pretty legoland discovery center set, heh. Now funnily enough, the pirate set has a lego horse with a bricks, and no kidding right now i'm literally looking to update my kingdoms "horses" and to get a horse for the pirate set, but omggg those prices

I am so curious on what’s next with the pirates, I am personally working on my forever pirates project now, I loved the idea of modular sets combining back in 2015 and just plan to work on more imperial forts, modifying the creator pirate ship with pre built parts, etc, but would buy them all in a heartbeat, castle and pirates does that for me

Has anyone tried to MOD this ship with pre fab parts already? Despite the fact I bought this set using my Legoland discount I haven’t gotten the courage to assemble this yet, but as I scour the forums for MODs all I see is people who bought 2 sets, but I’m more curious if the prefab pieces could actually fit with this ship. I’m crossing my fingers it can, suffice it to say i want to modify the mermaid, masts, sails, flags, animals, I like it as a different ship from what’s out there, but believe it or not I mainly bought for this for the hotel but sooo curious to see if it’s truly possible to do so!
