Great build, minifigs could be better. Very good price when it was at distribution. Love the roof and the blacksmith at all
The excitement when the Ideas Blacksmith was selected was palpable. A Castle set had been chosen, and it was civilian. This could not be more perfect. The submission was marvellously quaint and fairytale-like without overstepping into tedious fantasy. Lego's revisions were then announced, and initially, it seemed a disappointment. Gone were the muted palette and extravagantly pitched roof. However, fairly quickly, it…
MEDEIVAL: At long last Lego has returned to an amazing age. A medeival age. This set is no doubt my favourite set I've owned. In this review, I will divide what is in the set into two main parts: the figures and the build itself. minifigs: So, let's start with the Falcon Knights. This was a brilliant choice by lego, and I am very happy that they didn't just include two the overused lion or dragon knight factions in t…

The build in its self was very good, easily a one person's job, but could be built by two, with the second persons building all the extra bits, the wagon, the bed, chimney and such like. The …
OK, first up, I have to admit that I'm not really a collector of medieval themed LEGO sets. I owned exactly one real castle-set, that being the classic 1986 Black Falcon's Fortress . But the Medieval Blacksmith caught my attention the moment it got on the voting page of Ideas. I followed its rise to 10,000 votes and now here we are. Ordered on Feb, 2nd delivered on the 5th, finished building yesterday. Now this may s…
