Lego needs to release the "Build your own DnD party" set with bunch of minifigs and accessories for them. So the people can build their own characters and use them in tabletop games. :) It is really a shame the set doesn't come with game campaign included. Real missed opportunity imho.

“Are D&D fans willing to spend this much money…” Let me stop you right there.

Castle fans can NEVER be spoiled too much!

Ah yes, the Gelatinous Cube, a classic D&D monster! Think of it as a sentient, hungry blob of jello which is conveniently translucent so as to show off the skeletal remains of its victims as it slowly dissolves them.

I knew it was going to be a set inspired by it but had no idea they were going to make it actually a playable DnD game as well, that's crazy... I don't even play DnD but now I want too...

As a lego fan for 25 years, and DnD fan for 11 years, this is a day 1 purchase for sure! Genuinely the most hyped for a Lego set I've been for a very long time

This is one of the best sets to come out of the ideas theme in a long time, i love the playability of the set too!

Once again you win "most informative and informed video" award for this review. I have watched 5 youtube reviews on the set and yours was the most complete and comprehensive without being too long. Many thanks.

Not gonna lie, this is one of the best Lego sets of all time, like top 10. So much playability and displayability. Basically perfect

I would love to buy just the beholder. Scary and cute at the same time, and one of the most classic DnD monsters ever.

I'd love to see Character vs Creature packs, honestly. So many interesting parts and fun designs, maybe modded for playability.

Just wanted to say that I kind of like the T connectors holding down the wings. Makes me thing of tendons/bones in the wings because dragons in fantasy source materials usually have sinews, muscles, and bones that run through the wings for support so the connectors work for me, at least in my own head cannon.

As a DM, I love the detail in this model, but would never consider spending that much money for a terrain that could be printed through battle maps or described using theatre of the mind. That beholder and displacer beast would be incredible minis to use ngl.

As a life-long D&D player, I love every part of this!!! I'm glad the back is open, too. You gotta be able to turn the model around and see inside, get in there and do stuff. So good!!! Thank you Tiago!!! That red dragon is AMAZING! And all the little secret hidden parts. Like, I can see those myconid, mushroom things, in the bridge. But I did not expect the awakened tree!! Man this is so cool!!!

1:55 Who in their right mind would EVER want to scribble notes in that BEAUTIFUL adventure book??????

I’ve been toying with the idea of using Lego to build D&D play spaces for a while now. I would enjoy a whole theme dedicated to this concept. I was really impressed that the buildings could be split by floor and the roof easily removed. That’s a great feature for playability.

Another shortcumming (a real design flaw in architecture world): Remember, this is a PnP, with stats and variants of monsters to choose. So there were 6 sorts of dragons (1974): Green (gas), Red (fire), White (cold), Black (acid), Blue (light), and Gold (fire or gas). By round eyes and brickbuild wings, the original submission offer an option for a prefered dragon color (this calls Open Design principle!). But Lego did a Closed Design. Why not print its eyes on neutral (gray) plate? Or (if commit to non-open) offer 6 color packs.

I've never played DnD directly, but have played enough games directly inspired by it, over the years, to be a fan. The set looks incredible. Tiago, you give the best reviews, going above and beyond to avoid spoilers.

Hey Tiago, Just wanted to say i love the effort and love and dedication put into your videos Whenever i am getting a lego,i always look at your vids Thanks :)

I was unsure at first but the fact its an adventure makes me more willing to spend the money, i really hope they continue this as a theme with smaller sets that i can use in my actual dnd games, im planning to get the minifig blind bags so i have access to a mini of my character at all times rather than keep ordering off etsy

The last few years Lego has been pumping out incredible sets. I’m always amazed at how much detail they are able to cram in and how difficult the designs of the sets can be.

My gosh, that is delightful. If I hadn't splurged and bought the Lion Knight's Castle, I would absolutely buy this. But I don't think I can justify it as is. So I shall admire from afar.

I DM'ed a very short game (only a few sessions) with my brother, wife and nieces, and we used Lego mini figures for our characters and I built a few arenas out of lego's as well. This seems like an obvious no brainer. So cool!

since you can take it apart this would have been so cool if it was released as 5 small sets you could put together to make one big if you wanted to, or just enjoy the small set

Rest of the set aside, that dragon built looks spectacular. As a dnd and dragon fan, I might get that one

Thank you for displaying it next to the other sets I own/plan to get. Looks very good together with them (especially the market). And showing the booklet redeemable stuff.

I love that they included cmf series,the set is really good tho the dragon could have been more like the briclink submission,but it’s good overall

Haha, that twist at the end! So creative!

Technic thingy next please, I'm dying to know more about b/ it looks really interesting and my first ever technic set (aside from some really small ones) could be a really interesting building experience

Lucky man! I didn't think I'd be seeing a review of this so soon!

It’s really funny because for the last year or so I’ve been using lego for my dnd campaign and i am so happy to see official support for my use of lego

Great detailed, informative, and objective review, as always! So glad you got this set early, as you are the top Lego reviewer and I was very interested in hearing you break this one down. I was put off by the original images, but your insights have moved me toward wanting to get this set. Thanks for putting this alongside some of the other castle and related type sets. Love seeing how they could go together! Thank you, sir!

Not usually a technic fan, (prefer Adventurers, Pirates and Castle) but the working Solar System model does look awesome. Would love to see a review.

Thanks for the review Tiago! I’m not a D&D fan, but my sister would like this.

NEXT: Technic thingy for sure! I am really thinking about ordering the Orrery

An entry level adventure it may be, but it’s an entry level adventure with an awesome and useable set piece! Most DM’s don’t have that level of terrain to use in their games and centering a game around something like this is pretty clever!

Love the playability with this set, wish I was more into DnD, honestly, just a brilliant idea all around, you can take that and do your own thing as a DM.

I gotta say this set looks absolutely fabulous and actually goes well with a lot of medieval sets like mentioned. Black smith too.

Wow love this DandD set dragon and minifigs looks awesome great review 👍

Awesome review and never fails to steer one wrong or hold back! Thank Tiago :)

I must admit it looks a lot better in person and the scale, especially the dragon, looks really good! 😍

Amazing set, and I'm not a D&D fan! I would love to get it because I love lego castle based sets like Rivendell and the Lion Knights castle and some of the march releases, but that price feels somewhat steep to me tbh. I really don't mind open-backed sets, I actually prefer them because I can just turn the set around on display and see all of the detail inside. And great review as always! I was curious who that black caped figure was that lego was keeping secret on the back of the box. I would love to see a Star Wars review next, but either technic or SW would be cool!

Technic set next please

This set is amazing ... said as a Castle & D&D fan. Kinda a must-buy to share with my kids ... at the moment so many cool sets to get, as I still don't have the Viking Village, the Town Square and now this ...

Lovely set and lovely minifigs. The price is a bit spicy (especially since lego fans would have to source other heads to repurpose the minifigs - but no skin on the torsos is great! ) I didn't notice if there are any more prints besides the beholder eyes, owlbear eyes , displacer beast eyes and the mimmic eyes. I hope the 2x1 tiles with spells on them are prints. Those would make up for a great collection of spells for fantasy castle fans.

Im running the lego adventure. i will need to expand the set in my vtt or use something else entirely since i have 8 players. but this video is very useful with me being able to take screenshots to study the layout and to make tokens with the individual monsters and lego figures. i had to keep pausing the video alot but great video and it really shows the set off well.

As a D&D player & DM, yes, news of this has reached the D&D community, there is a lot of interest. Even friends who aren't into LEGO but are D&D fans have pointed this set out to me. I'll be getting the set and the CMF line later in fall.

That set looks incredible. I’m a medieval castle fan and the tower looks good to blend into a medieval scene. But I don’t think I’d get it. Primarily cause of price but also because of its size. After many other large sets, the size of Lego sets is getting tiring. I want to see more smaller collectible builds at more comfortable prices.

you haven't done a speed champion set in a while. great video! if i had the money id get this one, my family loves lego and DnD.

that dragon is absolutely incredible

I'd never thought there could be spoilers for a lego set. This above and beyond my expectations :o

This is so much more awesome than I had ever hoped for. Fingers crossed that this will be in stores in time for my birthday and my wife will get my hints for it (...and not get annoyed by my constant hinting at this wish).

It was one of the two sets I was looking for this year (the other one is Notre Dame) I'm a bit dispapointed on "the look" that changed since the original submission, on the other hand it feels quite complete, especially as designed to be actually played with in an adventure - although the dimensions are not that wide. I'll go for the buy, and hopefully there will be additions to the D&D sets!

And I love the green dragon guy so much😭

I am so excited about this, While lots of people have been running D&D with lego now its now 10000000% offical. I am so excited to see what sets they will come out with.

I like this set thanks for the review

The beholder looks really cool and I'm kind of impressed with just how many playable features have been jammed into this. I don't think the exposed back is too big of a deal breaker because in most cases this is less for display and more intended to run the adventure with. Definitely one of the more interesting ideas sets I've seen.

Thiago, thank you for explaining this set! When I saw it I thought it looked terrible. Now I understand that it is not a shelf model. Thank you! Although the price still seems too high to me. Maybe Ninjago Modulars spoiled me too much?

So cool! I can't wait for this!

No, Tiago. Extremely wealthy castle fans with thousands of dollars to spend on sets have been spoiled. Most castle fans are still waiting for sets that are in any way affordable.

What levels is the adventure for? That can give an idea of it’s length, also level 5 characters should really not be going up against a beholder or dragon yet

I will buy this on release day without a second thought. I don't usually do this and of all the may sets I own this will actually be the second set (the first one being Baracuda Bay) that I want so badly that I buy it on release day.

This was unexpected! I have never played D&D before but this is an awesome model.

wish you could buy the dragon separately

Technic thingy!

I’m super excited for this set. Not surprising that many people are going to be interested in this from the D&D game aspect in addition to the excellent build and display. This set has something for everyone.

Its a really cool set, but like a lot of people its out of my price range. I miss the days of castle sets that ranged from $5 to $100.... Idk, everything is just so expensive nowadays. Thankfully I have a ton of lego of my own already, so I can just build whatever I want to and dont have to feel obligated to get any of these super expensive sets.

The point of the figures is just a reference to help you understand positions and orientation in battle and environments. Otherwise it can be hard to just describe the current locations of everyone relative to each other.

Technic thingy! 🟡🌏🌗

I am LOOOOVING this set. Unfortunately I'm broke af, so I love checking out ur reviews cus you always go into so much detail in them, anyway- awesome job as always! ✨️🧍🫶🏻

I'd say this is a perfect collaboration, and potentially the start of a new theme. Lego is the perfect size for D&D, and the announced Minifigure series seems to play into that. We could get more adventure sets like this one, or other accessories, such as a dice tower or microscale terrain tiles. Even packs of buildable monster figures would add to player's collections well. To put things in scale, remember that Lego Minecraft started as an Ideas submission before being officially made by Lego and Mojang. Now look how far it's come since then. Lego and Hasbro could very well do the same with this theme.

I'm not gonna buy this set but I was waiting for this review ❤

I was originally kind of disappointed that they didn’t stick with the original design. (Green Dragon wrapped around tower) But the playability of the set looks fantastic and the minifigures look so good.

Curious if the adventure is standalone or if you need other rules information to run it (Basic rules? Others?). Like if someone who is into D&D already wants to get this to show their group maybe it'd be a nice one-off adventure. Really like all the little secrets, quite a lot for a company that already puts fun secrets in bigger sets. No dice is a bit surprising, especially if it's an entry level adventure, maybe some production hurdle there? Lego's modularity already fits in with the custom nature of the RPG so I'm happy to see this, I hope they'll have less expensive stuff in this theme to experiment with. I guess minifigure blind bags may happen?

Oh I’m definitely picking it up on sale

Such a great looking set!! 😊🎉

“Up to four players.” As someone who’s DMed for 3 to 8 player parties, no. I recommend 3 to 5. More and less are possible. I do not recommend 8. It’s a lot

I have been using LEGOs as minis to play DnD and other RPGs for years. Some of these very DnD specific creatures would be nice to get, but everything you need to play DnD with LEGO bits already exists. The upcoming minifig series will be a nice boon to it all, though.

I’ve been dying to get this set ever since it was announced. Just bought it this morning soon as it was out :D

Hey quick question! Some sets only have online booklets. Does this booklet come with the set regularly or do I have to make it with a digital booklet since I’m not a lego insider member

If you could buy the dragon alone I very much would.

I would like to see 30$ character sheet set for each class. The set is essentially a box/chest with class emblem that contain minifig and various accessory specific to each class. Think the HP house set but DnD

Hey Tiago! Long time fan of the channel and your content. Sometimes I agree with a lot of your opinions and reviews, and sometimes I disagree, which is good to have healthy discourse and debate regarding the direction of certain sets created by the LEGO Group. And with this set I’m far disagreeing with the price model of the set. I think using price/piece is not a healthy way to continue gauging whether a set is a practical purchase for a consumer, especially when a set like this is as expensive as it is. And with the advent of newer, smaller, more specific pieces emerge almost monthly, it’s important to question whether the shrinking of size of pieces is indicative to the true value of a part. Transitioning from the commentary about price/piece you comment about the luck of castle fans have had over the last few years, which I completely agree with… except if these fans are able to make enough money to justify the cost of these sets. With the release of Lion Knights’ Castle, Rivendell, Medieval Market, and now this it feels as though the standard price has skyrocketed to an average price of $372.50 USD when the last true wave of LEGO Castle were playsets composing of $15-$100 price points. And understanding that you receive review copies this is not as pertinent to you but could be valuable to expressing to your fans and viewers. While all these sets are truly beautiful love letters to LEGO Castle it is reasonable to want cheaper sets for those lower income families. LEGO is a company that vocalizes its inclusivity quite consistently but it feels as though the less fortunate are left out and completely alienated from the equation. If you read this thank you, I am eager to see what your thoughts are on the current market for these prices, and if you’re another viewer like me please feel free to comment as I am eager to engage in discourse around this!

Fantastic Lego player character properties sheets and variant swaps! - But were ist the Lego dice?

I was just going to start studying for my exam tomorrow but I need to watch this video now :)

They should do some lego stuff with Guide to Ravnica based set. We need more centaurs. (Mainly a dark stone grey body and dark orange tail.) Also I actually have an official D&D off brand lego set seeming from around the time of 2nd or 3rd edition.

Hi Tiago, I hope you are doing well, great reviews as always. I was wondering if your going to review Batman: the animated series Gotham city ? I'm a huge fan of that show, and just bought it😅

We used Lego for "the dark eye" when I was a teenager and my brother still uses Lego now for terrain in DnD, so I'm a fan and he'll probably be too...

Congratulations Tiago, you've finally managed to make a video where I had to skip a bit ;). Thank you for the review, I've been waiting for you to release a video on this, one of my anticipated sets of this year.

Damn, I knew I will be tempted by this but to be honest I was thinking it will cost much more - so instant buy for me. Super happy they included a campaign to play

we need more lego- dnd collabs, maybe for already existing premade campaigns with a setline for all the important settings of the campaign

while i dont necessarily like dnd too much, the builds are awesome and a lot of the pieces could be used to make a DOOM moc

This is freaking awesome❤

DnD players are mostly nerds. adult Lego collectors are also mostly nerds. So it’s a win win collab

This is a very impressive set honestly. Next to the castle theme and LOTR models it will look great

I might buy this set once it releases

thanks for the review, I like the set. Only the price that thew me off....but this video made me reconsider. Seems so nice. How many stickers there are in it?

2024 is the year of castle/Medivaltheme. We also will get 3 new medival theme sets in the bricklink series 5 in feburary 2025.

Im gonna come back and say- if you go off the price of Nolzur Minis, the minis + Creatures included in this are worth about 100$. And the dragon is categorically better cause it's (mostly) posable. And people already use Minifigs for their DND minis 🤷‍♂️

I'm totally going to buy this!!!
