I have never felt compelled to write a review before. This is by far the best Lego kit I have ever built, and I have built many. Normally I stick to Star Wars Lego but from the preview pictures, I decided to step outside of my norm and get this one. I am so happy I did. This set is so nice to look at. I am not smart enough to know what all Lego did right, but they did it so right.
Wow! What a fun build. Never a dull step and really no repetitive steps. Easily the most fun I've had building a set. The personality in this set is incredibly: from the brick built bare skin rug in the top floor; the movable stew pot in the kitchen; to the light brick forge in the bottom of floor. What an incredible build. This is what a modular castle theme would be if Lego decided to make a Creator Expert adult castle theme. Thank you Lego ideas for giving us what we crave!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're excited to hear how much you loved building this amazing set! Thanks for letting us know!
This set is just an absolute joy. Wonderful to build, with lots of variation to keep it interesting and techniques that felt fun without being too brutal. Set is fullnof character and life with great playability and displayability once completed. Can't reccomend highly enough. Would love to see more in this theme.
This might be the most fun I’ve had on a build in years. This set is beautiful and very detailed. No large pre-formed pieces are used. The colors are striking. I love the roof design.
I’ll start by saying, I haven’t purchased Lego before but I picked up this set in lieu of a puzzle to work on with my wife due to our cats destroying the last puzzle we tried. This set started off as a stress reliever for us to work on after the kids were put to bed and transformed in to an obsession. The design and detail are next level and completely blew away any Lego set I built as a kid. I’m also a sucker for anything medieval. I never would have even thought of getting a Lego set as an adult but I was drawn in by the 18+ “adults welcome” marketing and the complex nature of the design. Needless to say I will be happily forking over too much cash if Lego decides to expand or even develop a theme with more sets in the modular style medieval buildings/castles.
I looked forward to receiving the Medieval Blacksmith. The review has rightfully called the build as one of the most impressive in 2021. After putting it together, I have to admit the hype is real. It is an incredible build with so many little details that you can see the love the designers put into the set. I am picking up the Lego Ideas sets since they are created by the community -- and am looking forward to Sonic in a couple of days.
One small negative - the instruction manual does not display Brown Bricks very well. This set has quite a few Brown bricks of varying sizes and shapes and at times it was hard to distinguish which ones to use. It all worked-out but this is common across all the manuals I have seen,
My 12 year old son loves all things medieval, and asked for this set for Christmas. Our family builds a lot of Lego, and the experience of building this with my son was the best build experience with Lego we have had. We certainly don't have every Lego in existence, but we do have hundreds of sets and this is the highlight of them all!!
I would recommend this to a friend!
