2700 points for a booklet is absolutely insane. Should come with the $360 set.

Highly appreciate you plainly stating you can't recommend the set at this price, despite having received it early and for free. It would be easy to justify hedging, but you stuck to your principles and that doesn't go unnoticed.

This is the first time I've heard you not recommend a set; you generally are more calm and kind in your reviews than others online, so I appreciate that you are willing to be a bit harder on Lego when needs be.

As a hardcore TTRPG fan, who often plays a bard, hearing a lute referred to as a "guitar/banjo looking thing" hurt my soul

As someone who has played D&D since 2015, I never thought I’d get a LEGO D&D set. I’m so freaking excited for this, but I will admit, I might be looking at it with rose tinted glasses, and I’ll probably use my Insider points to knock down the price

Is it too expensive? Yes. Will I be getting it? Yes.

This set comes across as a proof of concept to me, much like the Green Hills Zone Ideas set which went on to spawn a whole line of Sonic the Hedgehog sets. Between this and the upcoming CMF series, I think LEGO's testing the waters and seeing if a D&D theme would be commercially plausible.

Dude, I love your early reviews. It's literally always a set that's been lingering in my mind.

The GWP is a dice holder for DND players. Useful for campaigns

Well... I think this is a perfect set for me for Baldurs Gate and lego fan🙂

As a non DnD player, it truly looks AMAZING! the dragon is spectacular. And I love the inn and the ruined tower. I'll probably pick it up on a discount or something. It's just asking too much.

Most people I’ve talked to were hoping for it to be something you could use to play the game, like modular 3D Playmats, customizable minifigures… and not just a big set about the IP. (Sure the IP had some very unique things to it but most of it is designed to look like your typical high fantasy world.)

"Dracaris ... This is the wrong universe"🤣🤣🤣

This should have been priced at 300 at most. Here is the thing. A lot of these really big expensive sets get a 50 euro discount at some point. This tells me that Lego knows the sets are overpriced. So if you look at the price without the 50 euro discount, then you end up with 310 euro. 310 euro is somewhat acceptable, but it should have been without stickers at that point. This set just isn't worth it, but it won't stop people from not being able to resist the fomo and buy the set anyways.

Ehhh, I'll wait for a sale. 360 for this doesnt feel as good as Lion Knights Castle for 400. It would feel better with many more figs.

This set looks amazing. There are TONS of D&D Easter eggs. I can't wait to get it.

Will be interesting to see this next to the upcoming LOTR Barad dur when that drops later this year (hopefully)

Congrats ! 600‘000 Subscriber ! Amazing ! 🎉🎉👍👍

Alex Jadescales’ head is from the Vidiyo series

this is absolutely breathtaking

This was a great review. I love the set and it was great comparing it to other sets to see where it fits in.

If everything was in the set (including the book and the mimic) and everything was printed, maybe then it'ld be worth 360 bucks..

How on earth did you get this already

Love the content and ure fast uploads,congrats for 600k,1million loading👍

also i agree, the price shoulda been 299

Holy smokes all the castle stuff lately is GREAT!

I love lego and i love dnd. Both things helps me to go through ongoing war. And to say i am disappointed with a price tag is unfortunate. 😢 I can't afford to spend my whole monthly paycheck on a set. I like this, I truly do. It's just that it's impossible for people in countries with such difficult situations like mine to buy those very expensive sets. I just wish they made each modular spart of the set available for sale so that i can buy it part by part throughout a year. Same goes to lion knights castle for 400$ and others big sets. You can't imagine how happy i was when my gf managed to surprise me with blacksmith on my birthday. It was truly amazing because it's hard to get such things when they cost like one or two months of your hard work😢

Out of all those castles in the epic display, my favourite was the d&d one

This looks epic I wasn’t sure if I wanted to get it but now I’m def gonna get it

Congrats on 600k subs, it's deserved. Been watching the channel since the Kashyyyk days. 1 mil is on the way, keep up the good work.

This set is an absolute dream

A reason you could justify the price is the fact that this set isn't just a Lego set. It's a full-on D&D one-shot campaign. For those who want to play the campaign as players, this review spoils a lot of the plot details without realizing it (and it's perfectly fine, you said yourself that you are reviewing the set as a Lego product not a D&D one). A mention could've been nice tho. Also the price per piece ratio is a lot better than many other IP'ed Lego set. Anyway, that's my two cents! Great review!

Great looking set, but yes expensive! Will be further down in our “wish” list but overall it’s looks like a great build! 😊

wspanialy model , gratulacje dla LEGO ,dzieki za prezentacje👍

D&D?! Let’s freakin go!!!

DUDE, YOU ROCK!!

I have played D&D for years, and I was so excited to year about the collaboration with LEGO. I want this set. My friends who I play D&D with will love it, as would my wife. $360 is a stretch and I'll probably use up my Insiders points to get it.

Congrats on 600K!!!!!!

Great review

Surprisingly good set!

Awesome set, very expensive perhaps a little too expensive but I'll definitely be picking it up at some point.

Most beautiful Set this year

I agree, I was excited to see the set, and really have no complaints as a fan of both Lego and D&D but cannot justify the price at $360.

Getting this one day one. It also doubles as a quest with the booklet.

This DandD set looks fantastic love the dragon and minifigs looks awesome great review

The fact Lego sets are looking and feeling more and more like MOCs is fantastic. So good to see them evolve over time

I appreciate that they brick-built the dragon. Though this would be a great time to introduce a tighter higher strength mixel joint like we have with the CCBS, I'd love those for building more dense models.

Finally! I've been waiting for you to get this to review. Thanks brother. And now I'm gonna watch it!

this was a great balance of clarity and conciseness. Thank you for a great look at it

Omg I love the Sauron sticker 😂

“Don’t care how I want it now!”

where do you get the darth vador wall piece its amazing

Feel like Lego baldurs gate would fly off shelves

It's a beautiful set❤

I AM a big D&D fan, have been one for decades and I thank you for your review and lego-based opinion. I was already thinking it too expensive (more for Mexico, here it's priced at 546 usd). I don't think I"ll buy it, even though I already own 3 colosal dragons and 1 Tiamat. This is too scavenger.

Uuuuh is the inn a massive mimic 👀 this is giving me ideas…. My players will hate me 😈 love the review, jealous you got your hands on this already!

Thank you for your honesty and opinions, especially with regards to price! All of the extras, the Mimic Chest GWP and DM Module booklet, should’ve come inside the set! Being on back order/sold out doesn’t help 😿 That being said, love this set and your take on it and can’t wait to get mine 🐲 Cheers 🍻

Any clue how I can get a copy of the instructions.for the Mimic chest? Lego Customer Service gave me a parts list, however not the instructions. The GWP sold out in less than a day, and the instructions are not on their website or the Builder app

$360 WHAT THE FFFFF???!!! I’d pay like $150 at best.. Jesus Christ what’s wrong with you, Lego?! That’s considered normal now? Haven’t been looking at Lego prices lately

I was going to pick it up at release, but seeing the comparison to other sets think I’ll wait till it’s on sale

As a castle and somewhat of a DND fan this is a must buy. But be smart about it. Wait for a 2x point day for your big purchases. I believe this will be sold at other stores like target, Walmart, kohl’s maybe…and wait for sales. It may take awhile for this to go on sale but worth the wait.

Great vid. I think you could slow down on a few parts though. Show and talk about the minifigs more, showing the back torso prints. Also showing the trap door in action with a minifig would have been great to see.

DAMN i'm in love

this set seems so insanely fun that it might be oversold through a lot of weeks. It will be huge success as DnD fanbase is like got to audience of lego + modularity + role play with figs. It all add up and considering other buildings from lego in fantasy style are already there and wating for whole fantasy set up to be made for Dnd players. Not mentioning plenty of Dnd upcoming in next bricklink designer auctions.

Lego, please make ball joints and hinges in other colors than grey! Please

Would this be able to connect with the Black Falcon Fortress set?

Insane,cool and awesome looking set, I’m not a D&D fan by any means but I do love this 👌🏼Will I be getting it, probably not at the price point here in Oz, would love too but the thing with Lego in Australia it’s just so expensive 😢

amazing ! I'll buy it🥰🥰

Does the dragon sit stable propped up on the side of the tower like that? I like how it looks but I'd rather it didn't fall off if my shelf gets bumped

Every single review I’ve seen nobody has purchased the set themselves

So do I have to order this on the Lego website to get the gift with purchase?

Thank you for your review! I love this set; I want this set. Alas, I am poor, and will wait for a discounted price.

This set is awesome and I love the customizable characters but I don't see $360 for this. Rivendell gives so much more value for only $140 more.

On the fence on which set to get. Avengers tower, batcave or this one

A must buy for me

As a huge dnd fan, I believe there were small nods to things like magic items (the cloak on the skeleton, the green dagger, the book- to name a few), and all these things weren’t just put there to be Easter eggs- I think they were put there because they believe people may actually want to use this set as terrain/ set piece to an actual dnd session! While it may be a little cramped, you could definitely use this set as a map for PCs to explore- and there’s definitely a story that dungeon masters could piece together. However, while I think they placed more value in the set for dnd fans, seeing it next to other fantasy/ medieval sets I still don’t believe its price tag is worth it! Awesome review, the set is GORGEOUS, especially all the small details (my favourite is the missing cat poster in the tavern)

I have not gotten the set at time of writing, but I think it is worth it, for me. I will build the set and display it for sure, but I'll also get to play the adventure with my group, which makes it so worth it in my mind.

I adore it and if I was irresponsible with my spending and space habits I would be buying it.

the dragon head mold isnt new but the paint style is

Cool

As a Canadian I'm jealous, the set here is priced at $490

Need more DnD sets

Very cool! I played D&D VERY little a long long time ago.. tried , but, never fully played it. But, I always enjoyed the medival fantasy world concept and designs. If you think about it, with a lot of miniature world and character building that go with traditional RPG games, not on computer or digital, LEGO would make a perfect platform to adapt such RPG play. Surprise haven't seen more RPG people use LEGOs to do such before.. or have they? Going back to this set, the price? Yeah, it does seem quite a bit more $$ than one might expect to pay for such a set. Maybe wait for a sale or earn enough LEGO points to make the purchase hurt less.

I am happy to see it's not just me that dislikes the price. Love the set though. Everything is perfection. I don't think I would change anything in this - maybe the inn sign could have been a print, but the other stickers are really fair given their narrow use. Must buy for me, but will wait for a discount.

Lego is definitely going to get me to buy this day 1 with that Mimic GWP. Otherwise, I agree I would wait until this hits closer to $300. I'll be using some insiders points to lower the price for sure.

Hello if you have the Time can you put this set with the Castle in the Forest (910001) in your display ? And do a short vidéo or a video?

is the dragon head not a recolor of the Vidiyo dragon?

That...was fast hahaha Would be weird if those were Alex Jadescale's parents at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="730">12:10</a>, when neither of them have jade coloured scales haha

I've been playing D&D all my life and it's a huge part of my social circle. I agree with you, it's too expensive. Essepilly considering D&D's eventual price points.

Thank you for your honesty on a given review set! I feel like i would love the build and dragon, but since it will be mainly a display set, i agree with you on price. Lego should have budgeted the designers at 250-300 dollars, get the build in, scale the dragon down 20% and reduce it's parts usage, and then fill in the builds external details up to the budget point. All the internal details and easter eggs are great during building, but after that they are memories and lost to all other beholders except the builder. I rather have a cool set for a cool price with less detail, then paying ridiculous much for an overdetailed cool set. Which in this case i have degraded off my must-have list to my fun-to-have list. MIght be that i am from the 80's where Lego did not detail much at all and i learned to love the freedom to create or even just play within the structures Lego thaught us to build.

I agree $300 would have been perfect. At $360 it needs to include the book.

I think one other thing to mention is that when comparing to those other sets it may look smaller due to the dragon. But I still agree that 360$ is crazy.

I enjoyed the review but i would have greatly appreciated if you actually went more into details into those easter eggs. I don’t know about D&D either but i was greatly intrigued. It just didn’t come off so great saying so many times “i don’t know what this is but you can figure it out”. Anyways thank you for the input. Very interesting to see the set

Cool shirt!

Its just SUCH an aggressive asking price for people to buy into the theme. Why not do a wave of 5 or so mid-range priced LEGO sets. I would have LOVED to buy individual sets to give out to my D&D group. I would have arguably spent MORE had that been an option. If it wasnt a GWP I would be buying a BUNCH of those mimics for everyone to store their dice/minis!

Nice review David! 360 USD feels a bit overpriced, thankfully they priced it at 499 AUD for Australia (325 USD) which I'm ok with including GWP. Do you think the scale of this set matches the medieval blacksmith and town square well? Feel like it would look amazing all together and lit.

If I were to buy this set, could I use the points I would earn from it to get the booklet too, or do I need to do it separately?

Does anyone know if we're getting other Lego D&D sets, or is it just one and done with this set?

I think your absolutely correct! I am a dnd fan but 360$ seems a little much. I guess I can always hope they make smaller more affordable sets in the future.

im fine with the color swap on the dragon but they made it a good deal smaller unfortunately
