    I love this set and think it's absolutely stunning and a great culmination of Lego knights and castle sets from back in the day. I had king Leo's castle in the year 2000 as a small child but always wondered why they had stopped making castles like this altogether. This set is absolutely huge and the price is a bit expensive but for the amount of pieces, figures and functions involved it is unbelievably fantastic. I think my struggle is finding somewhere to display it!!

    I absolutely agree with your final thoughts. This set is amazing, yet it's $400. Even the 10497 spaceship set, at $100, seems out of reach for many. I really wish LEGO introduced more inexpensive adult collector/anniversary sets.

    • @SilverRiMiX
      @SilverRiMiX 2 роки тому +3

      There's no reason for this set to be the price that it is other than for Lego to milk its userbase for all they can possibly get from us. $400 is way too much. $200, or even $250 and I'd pick this up in a heartbeat. But $400? I have to hope this doesn't sell out immediately, because I'll need 2 paychecks to reasonably afford it.

      This is femi-castle. Black falcon knight has no armor, soldiers proportion might be better. Only 2 war horses. In the way how Lego evaluated for these years, I expected way more and better for this price. Even more picky story, e.g. black falcon delegation or siege or whatever. And here is packed some themes from the past in the sweet mood, like for the girls. Come on

    First time viewer, great review of a really nice set, as a child I had a lot of those early Castle sets (I didn't have the Yellow one, but from there on) and this one looks amazing, if I had room for it these days would be very tempted. Also, it may have been pointed out, but the minifig that you commented that had a 'funny expression' with a flag, I believe that's actually a horn/bugle that he'd blow into (hence the look of his face, taking a deep breath to blow) sort of announcing the Queen's entrance or what have you.
