Everything looks so good. the figs, the hinged tower and the dice. I really like the dragon design looks slick. The parts usage from Nexo knights and Chima is a great idea. This is just fantastic job well done.

Yeah that $10 mech set with 4 figs is a steal the figs are great. I've gotten 2 so far and 1 for my youngest son he's a big Ninjago fan. Planning on getting some more, those dark blue hoods are really nice and the printing on the wolf warriors is great. Lloyd is also a great fig.

Soapy water works also and you don't have to use chemicals.

I don't agree with number 4 Ninjago has a small $10 army builder that just released recently. plus they have their small dragon sets out now and smaller $20-30 sets that have great figs and builds.

It's already confirmed it's not the same mold. It's a new mold not Norbert from HP

I'm just mentioning to him that if he's into that kind of stuff also that set and the CMF might interest him. Some people are just straight up into classic castle or Medieval stuff and aren't into fantasy stuff like LOTR, DnD, Wheel of Time, MTG, etc.

They are lumped together with castle/fantasy in this forum. The Mods decided this awhile ago and here they will stay it's really not worth worrying about.

If you like DnD there is a set coming in April and a CMF series coming in September.

Yeah I'm hoping to get a decent tax return or maybe a bonus from work in March that may help to get Rivendell.

Yeah I think DnD and Barad Dur or Rivendell are priorities for me probably Rivendell first as It came out first.

Very nice. I probably have too many castle sets to get this year including the DnD set, Town Square, Rivendell, possibly Barad Dur this year if I have enough money. And I still would like to get all of the DnD CMF's and extra's like in the earlier post so it will be an expensive year and If I add the Forestmen hideout from BDP that's a lot of money in total so I will have to see how things pan out.

Yeah I kind of figured. I like pirates also just don't have many sets as my main thing is castle/fantasy. Ominous Isle does look great, do you know how much it will be? Did you vote for Hug Island in series 4?

Yeah I'm going to get all the CMF's keep one set original then get as many extras as I can for customization. I am also getting the DnD set. The Forestmen set on BDP is also very nice.

Probably not since he is in the city sets. The fortnite sets will probably have new characters.

This fig is from the set. Are you getting the set and all the CMF's? Yeah that castle is nice in BDP I voted for it. I'm sure it has an alternate face like most of the cmf's do Looks also to have a border on the shield. I can't tell the color of the horse but it looks dark. fig looks great. Can't wait to see both the set and the figs. Better pics of the set should come next month.

Yes for the next three years. I actually hope they put it back in theaters in at the end of the year for the anniversaries but not holding my breathe on that. Maybe a nice Edoras set for next years Two Towers anniversary and then the year after something with Gondor for The return of the King would be great.

You mean old maybe ha ha.

Yeah 25 years would be next year for the Fellowship of the Ring. It would be great to see something like a Bree set or more of Hobbiton.

Your still not getting it that's ok whatever. Once again you can make the shield for whoever you want it to be you don't have to follow what they said that's the beauty of lego you can choose to make that shield for whomever you want. Just like you can buy parts and make a King figure. You don't have to follow lego's storyline you can make your own.

You are missing the fundamental point of lego and that is that you can create what you want. Example if you don't want the Queen make a King and make the barding his and the shield his it's really not that hard. That was the fun of lego when I was younger we didn't get any of that back in the 80's and 90's There where no orcs, demons, goblins etc. You had to make your own. It's called using your imagination and it seems like today we have forgotten all that and just want what we want. Life is full of things that we want and don't want. And even sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do but have to. If you don't want to buy it because it doesn't have a shield don't buy it and wait till something catches your eye or you could buy the set and make mods to it yourself and have fun with it. Personally I used to build the sets when I was younger then I would change them around and build something different and change the figs around and have fun with it because that's the point to have fun building with lego.

Strahd has a red eyed rat, that's great. The Mindflayer with molded head and molded intellect devourer is exciting. Can't wait to see the Aarakocra head also. I'm buying as many as possible. The dragonborn Paladin sound great with that new armor piece. Plus my youngest son is also very excited for these.

There is an updated details on the DnD cmf on reddit. So many new molds, prints, and some animals in there too. This will be my favorite CMF of all time. September can't come quick enough.

What makes me laugh is that years ago when we had no sets people were saying that any castle set lego makes they will buy because they just wanted some castle stuff. Now that we started getting castle stuff people have issues with every set. I mean people were literally saying the LKC was to grey, it's not like you can't add a few different colored bricks if you wanted. Obviously everyone has different tastes and it's hard to please everyone that's why I don't care that much if the set isn't good and I don't like it I won't get it. And it's fine to have opinions that's what's great about america you have the right to free speech. But I find it counter productive to say the same criticism over and over like 10 times because it accomplishes nothing. I mean yes we can all see that the set could use more animals but repeating it thousands of times does nothing and changes nothing. We have no idea what restrictions the designer had on the set. Personally I'm just going to add my own details to the set and add some more animals and be done with it. yeah I think it's great to criticize things that's how we learn but repeating things over and over and over doesn't progress anything. I think giving ideas on how to improve the set helps but at this point we aren't getting any more animals or shields so either you have to add your own or just not buy the set at this point. Hopefully lego will see the feedback and improve.

They must have been some of the parts without pictures. I do have the jay and kai one from the sets but it would be nice to have spares I'll have to look it up thanks.
