Wow! What a great set. Sooo many details. No sticker pieces. Very fun to build. The roof construction is very creative. The overall look of this set is just beautiful. Wonderful piece to add to a collection
If you're thinking about buying this set, (and have some building experience under your belt) DO IT. I've been playing and building with Lego since childhood and I don't think I've had this much fun since my very first set!! This build is packed with details, accessories, and story, and is just a beautiful piece in general. You can tell that the forge was designed by someone with a passion for blacksmithing and is extremely charming.
Personally I gravitate towards architecturally focused builds and was pleasantly surprised that the finished product turned out bigger than I was expecting! All told this took me about three days to build, and I loved every step, the instructions are great as usual but are geared more toward the experienced builder (note the suggested 18+, but teens in general would have no problem with it). It's a great size for play, and I may use this as a set for future tabletop games.
I almost never write reviews for products, but this set takes the Lego cake. I would highly recommend this set for any true Lego fan!!!
This set is just great. It looks so beautiful once completed. The architecture is lovely, as is the interior. The tree looks great as well. The minifigs are very nice as well. I love the return of the Falcons. The older knight is my personal favorite. Overall buy this set if you have the chance, worth every penny.
This is hands down the best set I’ve built, and I’ve built many. And, it looks so good when finished. It has so much detail, each level is easy to remove to reveal the detail in the level beneath. The pictures do not do this set justice. Even if you’re not into modulars, this is a must have set, it was that much fun. And, it looks so good. LEGO should do more buildings along this line.
