Great Family Build
on March 23, 2021
Posted by: Mantis77
The build techniques for this model are great. There is a great use of space and character and much of the design can be used in other creations for a rustic look or ancient architecture.
I love these non-licensed models where you get more for your money, more pieces, and grander designs.
I built it with my toddler who was excited about the figures and their weapons. He was able to build from the directions for most of the model and only some of the finishing decorations he needed some help.
The style of directions is a huge improvement. The designers have found a great balance and the yellow highlights help with identifying the correct positioning. The colors are improved so that the directions more closely match the color of the bricks themselves.
My toddler was engrossed in playing with the bottom smithy level and had lots of questions about how the finished model would work. His interest was sparked so much that we watched several black and sword smithing documentaries for both modern and ancient methods. For this reason alone, the model was a complete success.
This was an instant classic and I look forward to more of the same, either in sets or making my own.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This old-school carpenter LOVES this Timber Frame!
on October 2, 2021
Posted by: IfYouGiveAGirlAHammer
My three kiddos gave me this set for my 48th birthday and it’s quite possible the best birthday present I’ve ever been given!
It probably took 6 hours to assemble and was loads of fun. I hope more “Timber Frames” will be added in the future.

Advanced

First, this set is a bit more advanced than I expected. Lots of out there concepts that I had to double check.
Pros: Awesome overall look, fun (if advanced) build techniques, sizeable, well thought out inside and out.
Cons: Wish they'd make some more of this theme. It's a shame that it's all alone.

The Blacksmith Is Open For Business !!
on March 13, 2021
Posted by: Dreamer2952
This is far and away one of the best values in Lego today.
The build is amazing and the modular style is truly the way to go . Adding the 'Light Brick' is an added value that truly must be experienced . The -Mini_Fig`s - are great and the Horse !! Good work Lego and the pup too.
The whole set just screams "build me again" !!
It is so refreshing that Lego is making sets for all ages , including retirees .
The set was receive in excellent condition .

As good as a set can get...
on February 15, 2021
Posted by: Vikn
I'm usually not one to be subject to recency bias, and I have purchased many large sets in the year since I got into lego for the first time as an adult. I never outright said any set was my favorite ever, but the Modular buildings, the UCS Slave I and the UCS Sandcrawler all could have been had I actually thought about a "best set".
This is the first time I finished a set and thought "This may be my favorite set ever". It's on the smaller side of what I usually go for, so it doesn't have grandeur to muddle my opinion, nor does it recreate something iconic from a property I love...but after having this for two weeks, I can say it is likely my favorite I've ever built.
The finished product is probably the prettiest lego set I've seen by a fair margin, the build experience was exceptional and everything felt perfect, deliberate and unique. The tree was a little tedious, but it ends up looking great. The roof surprisingly isn't an exercise in tedium despite how it looks, and it is build and attached in a very unique manner that gives the set a look unlike any other. The interior is exceptional; it just feels home-y. Nothing feels tertiary or like it was added for pc count. This is one of the all around best sets I have ever had.
Only four figures in such a set may seem skimp to some. The quality of the figures more than compensates for the lighter quantity. Three of them are amazing (Two knights and blacksmith) and it'd have been fine for them to just stop there, but they also added a perfectly competent fourth figure (The blacksmith's female relation).
All together, this is one of the few sets I'd reccomend to anyone who enjoys lego no matter their preferences. It really is that good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very much overdue !!!
on February 7, 2021
Posted by: WimmersWorld
I grew up in the eighties with old themes like pirates and castle. I always loved the Medieval Market Village set, but never thought the houses were big enough, nor complete enough.
Growing up in Northern Europe, these kind of houses are everywhere in the old cities and villages. I'm forever great full to the young German man who thought this up and made it come to reality. It is built in record time, for this old man, and sits now proudly on it's shelf. Makes me have a huge smile on my face to see it there;... it ticks all the boxes for me: Gorgeous building with clever building techniques, throwback to the Castle theme which was VERY MUCH OVERDUE !, huge memories for me who lived in houses like that in Europe growing up.
Even better that it includes a (Red !) light brick for the forge part; and it works beautifully...
I'm so happy with this set that I decided to write this review; I'm older now, build still lots of Lego's in my free time and am a huge collector;... but this set is now one of the most prized possessions in my collection. So I decided to write this up.
Great overall set, definitely a must buy for Lego Castle fans, older Europeans like me, and people who loved detailed buildings like the Modular Series...
Maybe not the cheapest set to get; but it is "Oh, so worth it" to get this one when you can...
