    I guess you’ll hate to hear I have 69 of them. I’ve done the legwork while traveling to find them and have no regrets. Some of us are actual collectors (not scalpers) to build an army that we’ve invested in for a long period of time. Should we wait until they’re $30+ each to give everyone else a chance first? I’ve actually found them easy to find if you just do a little research and get out for the hunt. If you want just a couple, they’re available online for a decent price without having to use gas and time to find as others of us have done.

    The best part is the name of the inn in that set. Hope to see it show up (maybe as a GWP) next year.

    I thought the same thing. They did this with the bard CMF with the crown coin that was a teaser of sorts for the Lion Knights castle and girl knight CMF.

    Just took a break for dinner….This thing is amazing. I’m only on bag 7 but am just enamored with the techniques, parts, and details that are included. The new Lion Knights shields are fantastic. I really like the update. Back to it…!

    I still have a feeling that we’ll see these sets again as a VIP point redemption to give everyone another shot at getting at least one. You have to at least hand it to Lego for creating hype and demand on products. Their distribution and logistics planning is abysmal, but they drive FOMO and demand very well. That said, it sucks being on the short end of that. I have 4 Forest Hideouts in hand another on the way with a 3 in 1 Viking set. I had been hoping to get a 6th with the Castle tomorrow, but that’s likely not going to happen. I know some will say I got plenty, but I’ve been a long time Castle-only collector, this is all I buy. Everyone and their sister who bought an Atari, Camaro, Sanctum, etc got one and probably threw it on eBay. Im keeping all of mine to get those figures and parts into my kingdom. Let’s hope we see it back again.

    Well, I stopped by my local Legoland Discovery Center yesterday and they had mistakenly put one out for sale. I quickly purchased it and ran home with it. 5% off and got the Forest Hideout GWP with it too! Building it today.

    I’m purchasing day 1 online and in store. I’m with you, no chances being taken with this one,

    I’ve owned every one of these castles except 375/6075 (never liked the yellow color) and bought them all pretty much when they were released (or as gifts earlier on). For me, it came down to 6086 and 6090. Both were incredibly different than their predecessors and felt like large, fortified structures…but 6090 was a game changer to me. It had so many interesting details that I had never seen in a Lego castle before - and it was huge! I rebuilt it last year after years of moving around the country and felt the same thrill as when 17 year old me built it in 1995. I still think the rear tower is one of the best ever designed in a set. I never really liked the Lion crest for that faction, but the sets, and this castle in particular, were fantastic.

    Yeah, I’d say next year is the earliest we’ll be getting any Castle-y stuff again. They’ve done good by us lately with the Vikings ship, Castle, and Forest Hideout as well as the 3 in 1 and Blacksmith still on the shelves. I really like your idea of the Guarded Inn being redone…that was my favorite set until the MVV was released. Good stuff.

    I’ve got one on the way and will get another when I purchase the castle, but I’m still hoping they made so many that they will be available via VIP points at some point.

    All I see is how awesome those torso and leg printings look.
  12. INTENSS
    10176 had stickers for the shields, but that was kind of a unique castle. I agree with you though that these are prints in the new castle.
  13. INTENSS
    I got the same thing today. Not too much longer now…
  14. INTENSS
    I know, right? Joking aside, I think we might get them more often this time. Long before any talk of this castle or even the Medieval Blacksmith/3 in 1 Castle, there were those of us who we’re wishful for Lego to build a once a year Creator Expert style Castle set (similar to the annual modular buildings). Maybe this might actually lead into it? It doesn’t have to be $300 plus, just some sort of tower (Wolfpack), mid size castle (Black Knights, etc), market, weaponry, ship, etc each year in the $150-$300 range to wet our appetites. They could still continue the ~$100 Creator 3 in 1 sets and have these for the upper range. Throw in an accompanying GWP like they did with this and they do with the modular buildings and we’d get some smaller stuff to fill the gaps. This is my dream anyway as I don’t think we’re getting a full line any time soon unless it’s a medieval/fantasy license.

    Really doesn’t bother me, keeps the nostalgic thing going for sure. However, I would personally have preferred dark brown for this and the GWP. I’ll be going with a dark brown change for this castle as well. My brother and I used to make our annual big Lego purchases at TRU during one of their BOGO 50% off sales from the 90s on. While their prices were a bit higher than other retailers, it worked out very well with the sale. I still have multiple smaller MISB Castle sets from the Fantasy, Kingdoms, and final line because I bought so many during those sales. I miss filling shopping carts full of Castle sets…
  16. INTENSS
    You’ve got some good eyes! I had to go back and double check. If these parts make it to Online PAB eventually, then this would be our first chance to get this mould in bulk. Awesome!
  17. INTENSS
    Agreed. I think it’s fair to complain about the price, stickers, some specific choices, but to say this this is bland or a big miss is just being ignorant. This castle is light years ahead of anything we’ve ever seen from Lego. It’s huge, has so many nooks and crannies that we haven’t even been able to discover yet, and they pumped 21 actual minifigs into it with all kinds of weapons, heraldry, and new prints in a one-off set. This is what most of us have been begging for for years. If it’s too much, they gave us a $100 set last year that was sold everywhere to get a good discount. This thing is a home run and I’m so looking forward to the build experience. I’ll do my part and get at least two as I’ve had years of saving from not having any castle sets available. I don’t buy typewriters, plants, sneakers, or other themes. I buy castle and this is the the theme’s pinnacle.

    I’m really happy with this set overall. I have a few small gripes but nothing is ever going to be perfect based on price limitations, part availability, and meeting many competing demands. I’m most happy with all of the new torso prints, barding, and (cloth?) flags/cape. I don’t have any major complaints, just a few “would have been nice” suggestions. However, based on reintroducing the barding, creating a lot of new torso, shield, and cloth prints, I’m guessing that we’ll see some of these elements show up in another set or more in the next year. Lego will get their money’s worth out of them. Of course, once they’re available on PAB, they won’t be able to keep them in stock.
  19. INTENSS
    Big day for us castle fans! We’ll have to bear through some cringy spectacle before we get to it, but should be worth it!
  20. INTENSS
    True indeed! Let’s make it happen!
  21. INTENSS
    Agreed on multiple perspectives. I, too, wish the hideout was brown/dark brown, but I’m just fine with it even being a an actual thing in any color. I’ve said it on multiple platforms, but I really hope they produce too many of them and make them available for VIP points at some point. I never thought we’d get new bard, so that is a very pleasant surprise. Can’t wait to see them with more modern printing and design capabilities. It’s been a while since we last got barding! I’m also hoping to buy those civilian figs in high quantity once they become available on PAB online. I wonder if any other new weapons/heraldry/colors will make an appearance. Very exciting times!
  22. INTENSS
    I’m really looking forward to this set, day one purchase for sure. I’m just fine with there only being a queen too because, as others have mentioned, we are severely lacking in medieval female characters. I have enough kings, crowns, and assorted male parts to make kings for every castle faction 5 times over. Female characters are rare. I do hope though, that they don’t reuse the bard torso from the cmf 22 series, and at least do a recolor or something different. Hopefully the video had the cmf torso as a stand in. Either way, no complaints from me because I’ve been collecting this theme since day 1 of the grey castles and have wished for a castle of this size for years. It’s going to be awesome seeing this thing on the shelf in the store and on display. I do hope it leads to an annual large medieval set in the same vein of the modular city buildings.
  23. INTENSS
    Let’s hope Lego overproduces this thing so they end up being available for VIP points later on.
  24. INTENSS
    Except the US and Canada (among some others) won’t see the Viking set until August. I’ll need to rely on PAB.
  25. INTENSS
    That Viking Village is a terrific build/set. I voted for it when it originally appeared and had hoped Lego would approve it. Let’s get it done this time!
