Nice!!! I commend you for your work on the deck below!!! There’s no room and if you made room that’s creative, I’m looking forward to your final work. I ended up covering the exposed deck with those grates that you find in Blackseas barracuda remade ship. I honestly bought two 31109’s because I liked the pirate cabin, I legit bought furniture and expanded some details inside but I ended up loving the ship that I combined them a bit more. I like the size, it’s a perfect companion to the other ships.

I remember now hahaha, it felt dirty and guilty buying extra pieces for PaB back then because of how easy it was. The biggest thing I miss was the fast turn around on standard bricks. The shortest amount of time I remember was 4 days from Europe to Texas. Consumers like myself remember that, but 28 days omg, I can wait but I’m wondering what changed in the process from before!? After weather delays my PaB order came in: I’m just building up my MTS civilian population, I already have a bunch of knights! 10 is the sweet spot for me, but seriously 5 for 25 was too much, that was 3/4 of my order for these pieces either way!

Ohhh The Owl Lectern! Honestly I’m a sucker for the modular hogwarts setup, but releasing three sets within a short amount of time can be dismaying because of running out of space. It’ll be hard to choose which is the ultimate set to keep. I like a little bit between all three recent releases, but what makes me mad is that LEGO releases Harry Potter GWP at odd times of the month. I’m waiting to buy the great hall when they release a HP GWP worthy of it’s purchase, because that’s exactly why I missed out on Gryffindor’s common room and Grand Staircase, I already had every HP purchase before they came out and it was frustrating for me by buying sets when they came out. Unless it’s The Bank, then yeah that’s different but these smaller sets are making me wait a bit. I like that they included the rock base, but I forgot that the classroom can fit in the dungeons, I’m all for spacing these purchases out to be able to buy the 1000$ set combined but I’m a sucker for modular sets, especially Harry Potter ones! You are correct, 3 recent great halls is getting a bit annoying, I’m a fan of the microscale set but I’m finding comfort in Harry Potter sets because recently LEGO hasn’t been releasing Playsets that much, it’s either vehicles/ships and static sets, I like the playset scales of the Harry Potter lineup that can be expanded upon a monumental wizarding world of Lego hehe

Homie, Lego sold this set with a picture of two sets combined, we could combine it front and back with little mods, the set mas made to be connected and expanded! Back then that set brand new sold for 120 bucks, looking back on it, I remember when they discounted it towards the end of its run and I regret not grabbing more. Even back then it was considered a masterpiece of a set, I remember the critique in a good way that was a mix of AFOL and Lego. I agree with a reimagined version of this set, I’m just curious what factions they would feature, Kingdoms was a fantastic run, I’m curious if they would retheme to the current/old factions! As with old sets, I just got the reddish brown replacement bricks, I also got my mill village replacement parts and I’ll be happy to replace the broken ones or old ones. With that mentioned though they don’t sell a few colors in that set that made it difficult to get them through BL because they are priced a little higher priced than usual.(the dark green and dark blue colors on the tent especially hehe)

I bought two 31109 just for that reason, to modify, I also was inspired by Barracuda bay’s ship build and managed to combine some building and brick elements to the 31109 ship. I used a prior pirate ship, i think the red beard bounty for the sails that fit on my ship. With that mention a lot of members on this forum recommended and showed me how to make sails or can make them for you. 31109 is just a bunch of 1x1 bricks that are red, green and gold, you can re color them easily if you order the same amount through PaB, but you are right, redoing the 31109 ran me close to 150$ in extra parts just for that reason. Changing the hull is the most complicated one because they are stud narrower than using the old pre fabs and that would require redoing the entire ship so I left it brick built. The 31109 is a fun build but I always disliked the brick sails, however waiting on an imperial ship any time soon could take years and by that time you could rebuild your custom ship to your liking time and time again!!!

To be fair, 10223 was meant to be purchased twice, you could connect two of them to create a bigger joust set with more tents and longer village display with front and rear structures!!! Aside from the build the furniture is some of the best in castles, I still replicate as much as possible in all my medieval sets, like the dressers, tables, chair and nightstands, etc.

So relatively speaking how does the Great Hall fare up with the other versions released in the last 5 years, it’s funny how the roofs went from grey to green back to grey, but what are their plans?

My second order of torsos are standard so I’m right up there with you on that one! Only the Wolfpack was bestseller from what I noticed! I only got 5, I usually get 10 of everything but I’m on the same boat with waiting for the other 5. I like animals on my medieval sets and pirate ships. Fingers crossed!! Nice!!! I love them already, I wanted these torsos more than the grey goat but still, I was busy trying to order different 10 pieces to make my medieval people diverse! On the subject of GWP’s I think LEGO hates it when they rebuild them through PaB I certainly did, especially with the astronically expensive Harry Potter ones, I managed to get every single piece for the grand staircase and Gryffindor room through PaB. I had to type in the set numbers because they don’t pop up there automatically. I also got lucky from a Swiss seller that sold replica decals to complete the set, they look close to real lego decals though. The fence 1x4 in brown was sold out and I had Gold ones to fill in for a bit. Hell my next order is an extra Majisto Workshop, but what sucks as usual the dragon torso never came hehe.

The capes in that set is weird, the manual has the cape pack listed incorrectly, the missing bricks listing has the same capes that popped up, the set has two capes that doesn’t show up digitally anywhere and the box has a totally different ID LOL 6488972 and only has the brown and black cape. I completely overlooked that mistake because that 5 capes popped up with the new torsos and animals and the other cape is not the right id LOL. My bestseller order from the first finally arrived! The Wolf torso, Lion shield and a couple farm civiles! My Goats get here Monday or Tuesday! As much as we shit on PaB I’m just glad they switched the new torso to Bestsellers!

When i bought that cape pack, I had it sorted under the 10332, it’s how I found the goat, for some reason a lot of lego pieces weren’t showing up under “newest” and out of stock, I had to manually find them through the set function. I got lucky with the black tron sets, but even then the dragon torsos on BL were a bit cheap, what sucks is that shipping was ridiculous, but I was waiting for them to show up on PaB even though others swore up and down that it was a delay but what sucks is that it never happened. I’m not surprised, even searching for GWP sets on PAB is impossible unless you type in the set number, because they do not show up with the name. Usually Lego is stingy with torso and pieces unless new sets are aimed at coming out. Myself I’m not greedy because I only want a few torsos to diversify my lego sets but at the end of the day, I don’t know what changed with LEGO because PaB in 2021 was the greatest setup of all time to get extra lego pieces, ever since then it’s impossible.

The capes that show up on the set, all three types

Any updates or rumors about this set that come up recently

I kinda wanted one for each Wolfpack I purchased recently for my castle sets, but I’ll have to scale back a lot, only like one will get it now lol Same with GWP’s if it’s not on a regular box it won’t happen, I did manage to find a lot on the wild when they sold them, so I’m good for a bit but I just wanted more for my mill village raid set! Excellent idea, even toying with the idea or pirate sails I need to look into custom ones because I wanted my Wolfpack hooded figures to have some cape, I’ll have to get creative on my alternate builds. I’m happy for the goat price, I had a chance to get the amount I wanted but the fact that it’s still available and not sold out, speaks volume on their plan that higher is working against re sellers. I might not like it, but I do like availability. I got my goat at 5.17$, supposedly it was higher earlier by a few minutes. I do buy extra animals for my sets, the chicken n.6 went up from a dollar that it used to be to like 3.21 for each one. I think bestsellers pieces are priced higher than regular figures.

So nobody is complaining about the increased price in capes? But the goat is free game? 🤣🤣 8 bucks for a pack of four capes and retailing for 2.50 a pop. Animal molds have always been expensive, but still, Now I’m curious if they will drop the white Series 25 variant

I’m confused, a second ago it was all fun and games when it was .59 per goat. We all know it was a great bargain and a steal, scalpers get brought up and then it’s back to complaining that it’s expensive at $5.17 per goat, wasn’t that the purpose of deterring scalpers in the first place? I originally wanted 10 but I’ll settle for 5 at that price 🤣 just got my confirmation that it went through. The good news is that it’s bestseller in the US 😬😬

While focusing on the goat, here’s the most important question, did they also add the new wood door seen in that set or did it sell out also?

To add salt to the wound we can’t get gwp pieces 😭😭 they made it difficult also. they have been adding extra pieces through out the day

Interesting to say the least!

Torsos and shields were priced incredibly higher and animal molds tend to be expensive

Damn you lucked out then, I’ll just wait for then put it up at the raised price. Everything that sold out this morning disappeared and is not even out of stock, the wolfpack torso finally sold out.

Fingers crossed it goes through, I missed out by a few minutes but at least I got my medieval torsos that I wanted, weird that the Wolfpack is a best seller already LOL

Did they confirm your order?

The new medieval torsos show up on the set only but not when I sort them by “newest” they are probably still adding them maybe to the site did anyone else manage to get the goat, no.10 and get the confirmation on the website or did they removed it entirely?

they usually post them in the morning around 6-7 est. I’ve never seen them do it at midnight but you are right, we need to on our toes, especially with the animals since they will be desired above all this round.

Finally after months of mediocre parts!!!
