Of all the things you name terrain pieces? That's the last thing anyone cares about. Legitimately they need an in-between set that is less than $80 to 100 to bring new people in and get them trying it. CMF line is great but doesn't get new players to try the campaign and new players aren't going to invest 400 dollars so they need a mini campaign set
I'd absolutely love terrain sets and I much like the idea. It is not a way to get new D&D people into the hobby though, Also, for me, building terrain is one of the 'easier' things to do, be it foliage or rock formations or forests. While buildings are a mixed bag, can be very hard or easy. For the amount of money we all like to see these D&D sets priced at, I don't expect them to make massive display sets, but maybe smaller detailed ones that can combine with and introduce lots of new minifigures and monsters. This is exactly the point, we can build everything in D&D with the Lego that exists, apart from minifigure parts and prints, or even larger scale models like minotaurs and such. That stuff needs to be made by Lego itself and is worth buying for sure. Complete campaigns and stories would be great as well, especially for the people that aren't just buying this solely for the Lego.
I would disagree. The percent of D&D groups that use terrain is minimal, a lot play on-line or use VTT for their maps. Even for those groups that do play face-to-face, in general the players don't collect or use terrain or maps, it's only the GM. This means you have cut the potential demand for Lego D&D terrain down to 20% or so (since it would be only the DM who would be buying these sets, not the players). Even if your DM does use physical terrain instead of printed maps, it would add another time sink to the work the GM has to do to prep a game. Building several terrain sets for each session will take time and effort (and it would require a LOT of Lego). I'm sure there are groups who would use Lego D&D terrain but the numbers would be small and I doubt the sales would be justified when there would be plenty of new D&D display sets that would sell in greater numbers. I have the Red Dragon's Tale set and it isn't exactly practical to use in a D&D session, beyond the "look at this cool set" I doubt it would be used more than the once.
would love to see small modular dungeon builds maybe like 30-50 dollar sets of different types of rooms that can all be joined up for home made campaigns.
This idea is genius. To get the whole campaign still have to pay 300 dollars and lego/wotc ar happy. But having it in 6 50 dollar modulars than can be played in any order or any amount.
Most importantly, this will allow people to skip the ones they do not like, or even buy multiples of the ones they do. Keep in mind these will not just appeal to D&D players, but also to Lego fans that will get them for their own projects.
@@josephmarkese8563 Oh they are happy alright, with the billions they are raking in from their products. Content is something they are not though, they indeed always want more. One of the greediest companies for sure.
Totally could be and i wouldn't be that mad about it. Though i do think LEGO will continue to release 1 big set a year like they did with the lion castle & medieval town square
I would love this. Considering WotC are soon to release a new Edition of D&D, the collab between the two companies could be expanded such that maybe some Classic Castle factions join the D&D Lore. Put Lion Knight, Black Falcons, Forestmen, Wolf Pack, etc. In a D&D Supplement. Or expand upon the factions in the RDT/CMF sets, The Displacer Beast crest, Beholder crest, The Bahamut Knights... Use the facs in the recent poll (Bull, Ravens, Krakens, or Griffins) ...any of these in new D&D sets/wave would be awesome.
I wouldn't mind these either (if they keep the quality as good as these - and they start using fewer / no stickers in the sets, and don't overprice them like crazy) However I do think it is mandatory to get at least 1 castle remaster each year or 2 (at least until we get all the 1980-1990 factions out the door with full fanfare (shields, dragon plumes, capes, multiple torsos and specialized helmets, variants to them - like blue and black forestmen). CMF are nice, but we really REALLY need battlepacks and a cheaper black knights castle. The original one is so expensive. And they can make a black Creator 3 in 1 castle as wel that attaches to it to expand it and make it like a real castle, with multiple inner courtyards.
This would be amazing. However, I much prefer a true 'Castle' line, especially since making it in the D&D brand means it will be more expensive as an existing IP. WotC is not a company that sells their products cheap, it is probably the greediest company out there in the gaming scene. Just regular lego-owned castle themes are the best, but if we can't have that, a D&D theme will be a reasonale alternative. (assuming it is priced normally)
@@pinobluevogel6458 If they are smart, they will do the minifigs and SOME sets with stories, and let us source the rest of our worlds from "normal LEGO castle sets' that are cheaper for us - and hopefully more profitable for them even if they are cheaper.
Dungeon tiles!!! Just a small cheap pack with a build plate and some heavily themed walls and one trap or monster. Then you can put them all together and buy multiple copies to build a whole dungeon for your adventure.
We need some smaller dungeon encouter style sets with a monster or 2 and then a couple of adventurers to fight the monsters with some small terrain builds to go along with the story
This absolutely got me back into Lego. My group used Lego when we first started playing before we could find or afford real miniatures, and this collaboration got me to dig out old castle bits to play using Lego again.
Would love to see them plan out for a couple of sets and do a Champions of the Hall series in 28 for the 40th anniversary of the Legend of Drizzt, with an R.A. Salvator mini as the 12th figure. But there are more than enough named heroes in the series to do their own CMF series.
Apart from the massive quantities of scanned boxes in discount stores with no Dragonborn Paladin in sight, I truly love this D&D CMF. It is an incredibly popular series, but I believe mostly because of the large interest of the massive castle community and the really high quality of the figures. I think the overlap with D&D and Lego is relatively small, but I could be wrong. (I'm gladly proven wrong, more D&D is great in my eyes)
@@pinobluevogel6458 People that love both might be few, but this is getting DnD people into LEGO (some at least) and this is a boon for all of us fantasy castle enthusiasts. The remade lion knights and falcons were nice and dandy, but we wants orcs, goblins, elves, dragonborn, and so on !!! I thin these will sell quite well. And you can at least buy a box of these and not be annoyed to get 3 of each, then start hoarding your preferred CMF (like the paladin, or tasha the witch for mercenary torsos, or the ranger , druid, warlock mage - and not only
Hopefully they at least make another cmf. I’m not that big of a dnd person but these minifigures have a ton of great parts at an affordable price. I honestly think this was the best cmf we’ve had in a while. This is probably the first cmf I’ve intentionally bought duplicates.
Agreed. The D&D CMF series has so much customization it was also my first series I straight up bought 2 of each, and so far a few additional extras of certain figs (I have 5 pseudodragans now ❤ and am aiming for more Paladins on my next go).
It is one of the best. I would certainly buy duplicates of the Paladin if I could, but it is hard to find them in the wild. You can still get them for around 7 bucks off bricklink if needed, but that is almost double the price, making it not such a great deal anymore. Plently of discounted 3 dollar ones to be found in discount stores, but those have always been raided by people that scanned all of them.
@@pinobluevogel6458 Yeah, I've looked at a LEGO store and a couple of Barnes and Nobles (the only places near me that I know of that sell CMFs). They all have plenty of CMF packages in stock, but no Paladins. It's clear they're popular.
Although it's probably not gonna happen, I'd love to see some sort of DnD "Battle-Packs". I know - probably not so realistic, but yeah, we can always hope! :) Love your videos btw!
I think what could be a great follow up series would be to release a "Monster Manual" line: sets in the $10 to $50 range featuring classic D&D monsters that weren't included in the Red Dragon set. For example, a Chimera, Rust Monster (which would make a good polybag build), Bullete, Frost Giant, and a Purple Worm.
Certainly one of the more interesting and fun things that D&D lego could introduce. Everybody loves a good monster, it could even be wildly popular with little kids.
I used to be a big Lego fan as a kid but the lack of space and prices of some of the sets really made it hard for me to keep up with. I’ve been playing DnD for a few years now and the new Lego sets really revitalize my interest in Lego, so I hope they make more because building the Red Dragon’s Tale was such a nostalgic feeling that I missed, and it made me interested in get more or try my hand at MOC building, if I can dust off my old Lego and see what I got. The best way I can see Lego capitalizing on this market would be to release “battle packs” with Minifigures and some scatter terrain to use in games, more CMFs would be great, and Sets of Brick Built iconic monsters scaled to Minifigures. I can love the idea of using these pieces in actual DnD games in place of miniatures.
Great post and something I can relate to. The main thing I have always built was castle and space and since I got back into the hobby by the end of last year, they are nowhere to be found outside of a few very expensive sets. Those ideas how they could invest in the D&D theme are perfect to me, even though it would help if they'd also have something in there that actually needs to be built. One thing I never liked about 'Battlepacks' is that you do not get anything worthwhile to build with it. Cost effectively though, this would add exactly what a MOC builder cannot, unique pieces and characters.
Lots of great ideas here in the comments. Really like the dungeon tiles or terrain. The suggested battle-packs would also be great for enemies encountered in numbers like orcs or gobs. Combining sets for an entire campaign seems like a guaranteed success. Perhaps small sets with individual encounters started up, mid-range sets for locations to explore and larger sets with an entire adventure built around them. Then the largest and most elaborate sets might be the climax for the whole campaign. A tavern set with several PC minifigs to choose from where they can all meet and begin their adventures, and / or an inn where they can rest in-between would be a great way to add more characters. Maybe adding one or two PC's in each set will help expand that roster too. It's pretty common for other themes to include an individual from an opposing faction in many sets. Hope to see some great releases for D&D next year! 🤞
Another thing they can do is to sell minifigures, with tools and a small scenery or stand. Almost in the form of a series, but with various mix and match pieces, plus a generated character sheet. I can see something like that going for 10 or maybe 15 dollars per set.
That would be a great introductionary price. I wouldn't even mind a few larger ones, with bigger characters like minotaurs and such, or a bigger piece of scenery.
Probably not gonna happen, but what they really need to release would be Battle Packs with groups of different races and classes to mix and match. (Plus animals, monsters and little set pieces) Essentially like the current CMF, minus the randomness. Cause, the biggest strength (one at least) Lego has over other brick makers are the minifigures.
I am starting to think the CMFs aren't as bad now. Scanning is much better than feeling for them. It still takes time, and I would prefer to just order x amount of what I want. But I would clearly prefer to have battlepacks. One thing I am starting to observe is them trying to make fancies animals now (I am almost 100% sure it's for DnD - we are getting a new fancy parot, a wolf and some cat variation in the next CMF line ). Wish they would just make more and smaller sets with sheep and so on, so I could get more of them efficiently,
@@Ogre6972 Not sure how the sheep sold out in your region, but I was trying 3 times now to get 80 ... and they kept failing my order =))) (from the Netherlands). I hear people have similar issues with the wolfpack torsos and goats now.
These 'loose' figures, monsters and animals would certainly sell well, but as they would remove the appeal from ordinary sets (like the adventure themed city sets we have now) Im not 100% convinced Lego would do so. It would reduce the amount of unwanted plastic by a lot. Sometimes I buy these small sets just for the animals and the vehicle and minifgures included are basically useless to me. This is basically what PAB is for. Generally the prices are quite insane, but people tend to pay it so I guess it works for them.
@@octav1600 They need full time printing of the sheep, that is usually a marker .. an early warning sign that they are running out of stock. The sheep always run out first, as everybody uses them.
I would like to see Lego D&D creature packs! With like 1 detailed minifigure and 1 or 2 buildable creatures such as a Beholder, Ogre, Giant, Wolves, etc.
A second CMF would be great to fill in some of the character types. I'm thinking as well, small to medium sets with a few minifigures and a location/ scenery
My ideas for a castle minifigure serie are a chainmail knight a green dragon knight with the new armor piece of the dragonborn minifigure in darkgray and the expensive darkgrey helmet and a black knight remake a bull knight remake and a king Richard remake and a medieval priest a peasent minifigure and a landlord. And i,m working on more ideas 😁
I'd like to see a range of new sets, each with a unique monster/creature, a customizable minifig, maybe they could even start putting one of a 7 piece dice set to further encourage fan to pick up the entire line Imagine a LEGO DnD set with a Purple Worm, it would be amazing~
I'm a fan of both LEGO and DND and for many years thought that the two could mix quite well. I sincerely hope LEGO takes this popularity and runs with it, they could team up with D&D and make advent module themed sets, for example, a set of all types of fighters, or all types of sorcerer, and then modular buildings that we can use in a campaign setting like taverns, gate houses,escapes, forest and swamp. LEGO has the basics. Just need to customize themes & campaign settings...
Some other people mentioned terrain, and having an official version of the square and map element systems people already make would be cool. However I think the biggest win would be larger figures for common enemies and allies/polymorphs. Dungeon masters would want to collect dozens of those kinds of figures including multiples of some, and having good models in minifigure-scale which are 2x2+ squares would allow people to play on regular grid maps with matching figures while also offering a good step on the road to a complete LEGO map system to offer a range of options and get people hooked on climbing that ladder. This would also spark off more custom figures in LEGO's official scale/base-size which would sell a lot of bricks and give them lots of MOCs to draw from.
I feel like if they were to make a D&D Series 2 CMF, instead of having some NPCs and PGCs, there should just be PGCs, one for each class, Rogue, Monk, Fighter, Ranger, Cleric, Paladin, Wizard, Barbarian, Bard, Druid, Sorcerer & Artificer
I would really like to see them come out with “create a character packs” .base it off a race/species, give multiple heads, outfits and a handful of weapons and attachments. They could cost anywhere from $5-$15 depending on how many mini figures you could make and the uniqueness of the pieces I also think sets for dungeons where we could combine them for campaigns would be dope
‘Encounter’ sets could be cool; each with a monster or group of enemies plus a few background items or terrain versus some adventurers. Another take would be famous buildings or places from one of the D&D worlds such as the Forgotten Realms. Lastly I would hope to see modular sets that indeed could connect to form a dungeon or other physical adventure location
I'd like to see D&D 'encounter' sets.. like battle packs, but rather than minifigs, perhaps a monster or two and a couple of terrain pieces. An example would be an Underdark themed encounter with a Drider, a Neverwinter caravan heist, or a Waterdeep sewer encounter with ratmen.
What Lego needs to do is grab the D&D Monster Manual, Fiend Folio, and Deities and Demigods compendium and start creating monster sets. I'm not talking minifigs, but small to medium monster Lego builds like the Beholder, Owlbear, and Gelatinous Cube that came with the castle. Each monster could come with a small build of terrain and a minifigure or 2. They would sell like hotcakes and all us fans would revel in being able to have all those classic monsters to build and enjoy.
Lego could make a mint by looking no further than the monster manual. There is a pretty big market for resin/plastic monster minis that is limited due to the skill and time commitment of painting them. Lego is far more accessible than miniature painting. They could release line after line of brick built monsters and minifigs to sell individually or in monster packs depending on the size of the monsters. Should be pretty easy for their designers, not too expensive to license, and shouldn't be too taxing on the parts budget
The all-maps connected quest thing is a really cool idea. Could also just be scenes like by the fire camp or carriage. Im also down for a 45$ set. Just a little something for fun.
I think they didn't give it too much thought ahead of the contest (they just thought they would make the one set and be done with it). Somehow the feedback was crazy, and they decided to see how a CMF series does. Now, depending how well it does (and it should be doing fine, I plan to get 10 of each - at the very least and 20+ dragons and some others - and they are always sold out at the lego store, had to get mine from a supermarket) they can do either of these things: 1) be lego, not like money and just not do any until 2-5 years later they start to poke at it with another CMF line (hope this doesn't happen) 2) they could start doing some smaller sets - I would personally like them in 2 waves each year, with at most 4 sets and at least another CMF line. I would personally LOVE them to have a CMF line each year forever with these things - and maybe add a yellow skin elf ear piece until they exhaust all the current ones we have .Why not more than 4, because there is only so much you can do, and some of them might be just good as kits to buy 10 of each and do something fancy yourself. I could see them making a medium creature like the owlbear, a small tree/ plant / treasure and one minifig for $10, a campfire / caravan / shop with 2 minifigs for $20, a small dungeon or cemetery biome with 3-5 characters (at most $50), larger outlandish biome with a medium or large creature for $75-100. 3) they could release another BIG set, maybe even bigger, with a story to go with it that continues the story in the red dragon's tale (2 and 3 are not mutually exclusive) Adding to this a village city line with peasant stuff and limited tournament knight factions, and more LOTR sets and one old castle remakes each year and methinks we would be more than happy.
D&D CMF definitely derserves another wave. I don't know much about it so the questions is if there's enough room to make more. From the movie I saw that there was an Arakocra with black feathers and he wore more like a robe then a warrior outfit. They could also give us generic soldiers as they are interchangeable. From a Google search I could see that there are Orcs in the D&D universe so that would probably be the number one seller.
Imagine several smaller sets that each are enough for a small adventure. Maybe make those sets modular so you could even combine them. Like a small townhouse that you place on top of a dungeon set. Get yourself two more dungeons to create more rooms to explore underground. Or combine the house with other stuff to create a large building. If Lego wasn't dumb, they would give us something similar to the CMF: a box with 5 minifigures for 20 bucks. All with double heads and plenty of gear. Guys like me who aren't into D&D, but do love castle would enjoy that, too. Man, dreams without ending...
I'd like to see modular sets like dungeon "Creator" series. Imagine a sea of gray and earth tone bricks, cell doors, arch windows, barrels, maybe a skeleton or 2. An Inn set with mostly brown pieces to assemble all the furniture and a barkeep. The possibilities are endless!
They could easily make multiple short 1 shot campaigns to sell at lower prices. Make a small dungeon to play through and you could make the individual sections modular to combine it with other sets or make your own
Man, small encounter type set would go so hard. Like a cool brickbuild monster, small piece of terrain and a couple figures would be awesome. Or a crypt with undead skeletons for your characters to explore, i can totally see both these ideas in the 20-30€ range. Not really holding out hope for it tho, Lego has pretty clearly shown that anything castle/medieval/fantasy can only ever be a couple hundred dollar. The chances of a DnD series 2 are pretty decent tho i imagine, seeing how the castle community is vaccuming that stuff up
Would love if they made a sort of character customization set like the two we got with Harry Potter, just a simple build and maybe two hair, torso, legs, etc for each race/class
I've mentioned it before (not sure if on this channel), but I think LEGO should release a line of brick-built monster sets, similar to Chima's "Legend Beasts", and include 1-3 D&D minifigures in each one. Price could be in line with what is charged for Brickheadz, with a similar total piece count (single, double, multi-pack pricing model), depending on the monster being depicted. Gets us more creatures, and more figs, without breaking the bank.
The campaign that comes with the existing set is honestly pretty minimal as far as table top RPG adventures go so trying to make even smaller of adventures for sets doesn't really make sense in my opinion. What would make sense to me is to have a wave of sets that each include elements for a single encounter of a DnD adventure so if you want to play the whole thing in LEGO you have to collect them all or you can buy just some of them and use pen / paper or regular dungeon terrain for the rest. With this idea I would expect the adventure path to be sold by itself by Wizards of the Coast and then the two products can cross advertise each other. Alternatively, something that I think would make a lot of sense for DnD is small sets that have an adventure or two and a monster or two to fight maybe with a small terrain build. "Cleric encounters an owlbear" Basically, DnD battlepacks. The nice thing about this is the monsters could easily be added to an existing collection of DnD miniatures for use in games.
What i found out was after trying different colored horns for the Dragonborn, that the white horns do look way better than the golden ones. They look amazing ;)
Having bought all the minifigures as well as the larger set, what I would hope for is a wave of smaller sets followed by a larger set with a small adventure. Think the old castle sets that were one or two minifigures plus a small set piece like a cart or ballista, but instead it would be one hero character plus a monster or a trap. They could include stat cards, and then with the release of the larger set you could use either the included heroes or one of the characters from the smaller sets, and the DM could use the monsters and traps to enhance the adventure.
I would be surprised if Lego does not make a second CMF; seems like this stuff is selling extremely well and is the only time I've been just fine with getting lots of duplicates. And you're right, they need to makes some more affordable sets, which would also sell like crazy.
I would be very surprised if we wouldn't get a 2nd minifigure series. The first one we all bought with my friends, but it gave none of the more popular named characters. No Elminster, Drizzt, Minsc and so on. If we do get some more sets, they might make some easy and /or iconic locations. A famous tavern, like the Yawning Portal or something as simple as an owlbear cave. Their DnD products were - I assume based on reviews, and my friend group's purchases - financially successful, and their main goal is profit. This IP helps them achieve their goal, the only question is their margins.
I've posted this elsewhere, but it's worth saying again: I'd love for them to make DnD stats for classic Lego Castle characters like Basil the Bat Lord, the Knights Kingdom II heroes and villains, and the Fantasy Era troll warriors.
I really hope they'll make more DnD stuff. There's so many options; More CMF, battlepacks (they could re-dub them encounter packs for this theme), terrain sets, buildings, large monster sets and that's just a few possibilities.
I love the fact we have so many minifigure parts to make custom characters. The actual D&D set is too expensive for my interest level in the source material, but I do think LEGO should make smaller "expansion" type sets that would go along with the existing D&D set.
I’m going to say something wildly optimistic, and almost certainly wrong: Lego have said that the demand just isn’t there to justify a Castle line, and it’s mostly nostalgia from AFOLs, however the risk can be mitigated by tying it to another brand. Whilst D&D is still niches I think Lego D&D might have proved that demand, and may possibly lead to a full line, in place of a Castle line. Wizkids has long established there’s a market there for D&D minis/terrain - Lego can capitalise that, the Castle collectors and the D&D fans. I’m probably wrong, and you’ll be right about an annual big set, however I think that the potential is there.
I've also noticed that with the 2 big castles on sale, the Creator 3-in-1 castle has stayed rock solid at RRP with no sales for nearly a year now (at least in the UK, where it is exclusive to a store that generally has great sales). They really, really don't want people to be out there building their own scenes when they could sell you a scene at $360.
I feel like even they dont' get the license, more fantasy Adventure. It would be fun to get the classic setings, ambush on the cross roads, witch's shake, dungeon, goblin camp and a tavern. I could see a set since teh CMF seem to be doing well and on the cheaper side.
I think a second CMF wave is pretty much guaranteed. Seems like almost every 3rd party IP gets at least 2. As far as a full line, that would be cool. I don't think you are getting custom campaigns or scenarios for a $25 set though. I could see them doing a wave with an overarching story or terrain packs. I think either one would be a good approach. Most likely though I see another big set and another wave of CMF.
Hey great review. First time watching your channel. After collecting all the D&D mini figs this year, my gf got me the Red dragon set for xmas with 3rd party lights and I am stoked to put it together. QUESTION: @00:03:33 you have a bunch of medieval knights lined up. Where can I get those (NPCs)? Thanks!
For sure Lego is going to choose the expensive set with a GWP option as the next D&D set, or they are going to forget about it entirely and never make another. I'd hate for that to happen and I'd prefer to be surprised instead. I have to be honest though, I was really tempted when I saw the large D&D set and everytime I step foot in a Lego store I still am, but I'm not 360 dollar tempted. If it ever goes on sale for $200 or less, I will buy it. That said, the best option will be releasing the 25-100 dollar sets and introducing more amazing figures like we saw recently. The D&D CMF had been the best 'set' released this year, if accounting for affordability, with the Medieval Town Square being my 2nd favorite and the Tuxedo Cat a distant third.
I reckon because of the success of the CMF series, they will keep making a bunch of those. Then maybe in the near future like next year, we could see a full wave, much like the new Lego Fortnite wave.
So if they put out a series of sets that let you modularly build your own dungeon to use in a D&D game that would print money. Also I don't think we need new adventures with each set, but the stats for the figures and monsters included.
Id love another Dnd mini fig set. Maybe a tavern set to display them in. Then changing theme, id love a cyberpunk 2077 mini fig set, i saw Brikzz has 2 and they are amazing and sold out.
They have a $5 minifig and a $400 campaign set. They need to make an $50 to $100 3 in 1 mini campaign creator set. 3 build manuals with 3 different mini campaigns. Bonus if you buy 3 of them you can build 1 big campaign. Bam gets new players from D&D and pulls some of the castle Lego collectors in.
All they gotta do is add the armor piece to pab and add the upcoming Wolfpack shield to pab for me to be happy. Also RESTOCK WOLFPACK TORSO IN MY AREA :(
I do think Lego + DnD starter set and another series of minifigures would make the most sense. The set was huge but was not created by Lego but by fan submission and I don’t think they will replicate that.
We still need pieces and figs for the following characters. Vecna, Goliaths, Drow, Tiamat, Bahamut, Tabaxis, Leonins, Yuan-Ti, Kenku, Owlin and loads of others. So, I really hope the Lego D&D wagon keeps rolling on further
Keep doing minifigs but ones that you can download character sheets for Then do sets with bad guys for your heros to fight Like defend the gate from the Forinstance clan of orcs for $50 Clean up the Kobold hoard ...for $25 Up to the Dragon's lair and Spelljammers for $250 -$400
What they need to do is make battle packs. Every DM needs minions for their players to fight in their game. For instance: Make a dungeon filled with a few goblins and two custom player character mini figures. Make battle packs for Orcs, skeletons, Drow, Bandits, City Guards. Bring back Lego Zombies! Lego would make so much money just focusing on dnd battle packs.

Veryy good point. Also it would help people get an idea on what parts they need to get to make their own

Exactly.

Also, for me, building terrain is one of the 'easier' things to do, be it foliage or rock formations or forests. While buildings are a mixed bag, can be very hard or easy.

I'm sure there are groups who would use Lego D&D terrain but the numbers would be small and I doubt the sales would be justified when there would be plenty of new D&D display sets that would sell in greater numbers. I have the Red Dragon's Tale set and it isn't exactly practical to use in a D&D session, beyond the "look at this cool set" I doubt it would be used more than the once.
would love to see small modular dungeon builds maybe like 30-50 dollar sets of different types of rooms that can all be joined up for home made campaigns.
This idea is genius. To get the whole campaign still have to pay 300 dollars and lego/wotc ar happy. But having it in 6 50 dollar modulars than can be played in any order or any amount.
Most importantly, this will allow people to skip the ones they do not like, or even buy multiples of the ones they do. Keep in mind these will not just appeal to D&D players, but also to Lego fans that will get them for their own projects.
WoTC will never be happy.. they have never been happy a day in there life .. especially under hasbro reige.
@@josephmarkese8563 Oh they are happy alright, with the billions they are raking in from their products. Content is something they are not though, they indeed always want more. One of the greediest companies for sure.
Especially if they are compatible like super Mario sets.
I hope they Make more DND sets and Have a full wave with small sets and big sets so we can make our own adventures
Lego's next plan may be to please castle fans with a full-on Dungeons & Dragons theme Instead of returning to the castles
Totally could be and i wouldn't be that mad about it. Though i do think LEGO will continue to release 1 big set a year like they did with the lion castle & medieval town square
I would love this. Considering WotC are soon to release a new Edition of D&D, the collab between the two companies could be expanded such that maybe some Classic Castle factions join the D&D Lore. Put Lion Knight, Black Falcons, Forestmen, Wolf Pack, etc. In a D&D Supplement. Or expand upon the factions in the RDT/CMF sets, The Displacer Beast crest, Beholder crest, The Bahamut Knights... Use the facs in the recent poll (Bull, Ravens, Krakens, or Griffins) ...any of these in new D&D sets/wave would be awesome.
I wouldn't mind these either (if they keep the quality as good as these - and they start using fewer / no stickers in the sets, and don't overprice them like crazy)
However I do think it is mandatory to get at least 1 castle remaster each year or 2 (at least until we get all the 1980-1990 factions out the door with full fanfare (shields, dragon plumes, capes, multiple torsos and specialized helmets, variants to them - like blue and black forestmen). CMF are nice, but we really REALLY need battlepacks and a cheaper black knights castle. The original one is so expensive. And they can make a black Creator 3 in 1 castle as wel that attaches to it to expand it and make it like a real castle, with multiple inner courtyards.
This would be amazing. However, I much prefer a true 'Castle' line, especially since making it in the D&D brand means it will be more expensive as an existing IP. WotC is not a company that sells their products cheap, it is probably the greediest company out there in the gaming scene.
Just regular lego-owned castle themes are the best, but if we can't have that, a D&D theme will be a reasonale alternative. (assuming it is priced normally)
@@pinobluevogel6458 If they are smart, they will do the minifigs and SOME sets with stories, and let us source the rest of our worlds from "normal LEGO castle sets' that are cheaper for us - and hopefully more profitable for them even if they are cheaper.
Dungeon tiles!!! Just a small cheap pack with a build plate and some heavily themed walls and one trap or monster. Then you can put them all together and buy multiple copies to build a whole dungeon for your adventure.
100% really good point that i should have brought up here
This exactly. Many intelligent posts like this one suggested this. Smart people think alike.
We need some smaller dungeon encouter style sets with a monster or 2 and then a couple of adventurers to fight the monsters with some small terrain builds to go along with the story
This absolutely got me back into Lego. My group used Lego when we first started playing before we could find or afford real miniatures, and this collaboration got me to dig out old castle bits to play using Lego again.
Given how hot the release of the D&D CMF has been, i’m confident that we’re getting SOMETHING else for D&D.
I sure hope so! I imagine we'll hear some rumors early next year if they have something planned
Would love to see them plan out for a couple of sets and do a Champions of the Hall series in 28 for the 40th anniversary of the Legend of Drizzt, with an R.A. Salvator mini as the 12th figure. But there are more than enough named heroes in the series to do their own CMF series.
here they are getting sold our really quick. Had to source mine from supermarkets.
Apart from the massive quantities of scanned boxes in discount stores with no Dragonborn Paladin in sight, I truly love this D&D CMF. It is an incredibly popular series, but I believe mostly because of the large interest of the massive castle community and the really high quality of the figures. I think the overlap with D&D and Lego is relatively small, but I could be wrong.
(I'm gladly proven wrong, more D&D is great in my eyes)
@@pinobluevogel6458 People that love both might be few, but this is getting DnD people into LEGO (some at least) and this is a boon for all of us fantasy castle enthusiasts. The remade lion knights and falcons were nice and dandy, but we wants orcs, goblins, elves, dragonborn, and so on !!!
I thin these will sell quite well. And you can at least buy a box of these and not be annoyed to get 3 of each, then start hoarding your preferred CMF (like the paladin, or tasha the witch for mercenary torsos, or the ranger , druid, warlock mage - and not only
Hopefully they at least make another cmf. I’m not that big of a dnd person but these minifigures have a ton of great parts at an affordable price. I honestly think this was the best cmf we’ve had in a while. This is probably the first cmf I’ve intentionally bought duplicates.
Agreed. The D&D CMF series has so much customization it was also my first series I straight up bought 2 of each, and so far a few additional extras of certain figs (I have 5 pseudodragans now ❤ and am aiming for more Paladins on my next go).
It is one of the best. I would certainly buy duplicates of the Paladin if I could, but it is hard to find them in the wild. You can still get them for around 7 bucks off bricklink if needed, but that is almost double the price, making it not such a great deal anymore.
Plently of discounted 3 dollar ones to be found in discount stores, but those have always been raided by people that scanned all of them.
@@pinobluevogel6458 Yeah, I've looked at a LEGO store and a couple of Barnes and Nobles (the only places near me that I know of that sell CMFs). They all have plenty of CMF packages in stock, but no Paladins. It's clear they're popular.
Although it's probably not gonna happen, I'd love to see some sort of DnD "Battle-Packs". I know - probably not so realistic, but yeah, we can always hope! :)
Love your videos btw!
An excellent idea from an excellently named person 😁
Hey dude, I’m your first sub
Huh? Sry dude, it glitched, it unsubbed, it won’t let me resub
I think what could be a great follow up series would be to release a "Monster Manual" line: sets in the $10 to $50 range featuring classic D&D monsters that weren't included in the Red Dragon set. For example, a Chimera, Rust Monster (which would make a good polybag build), Bullete, Frost Giant, and a Purple Worm.
Ooo i love that idea. I'm a huge fan of brickbuilt monsters/animals and i could see that working really well for dnd
Certainly one of the more interesting and fun things that D&D lego could introduce. Everybody loves a good monster, it could even be wildly popular with little kids.
I used to be a big Lego fan as a kid but the lack of space and prices of some of the sets really made it hard for me to keep up with. I’ve been playing DnD for a few years now and the new Lego sets really revitalize my interest in Lego, so I hope they make more because building the Red Dragon’s Tale was such a nostalgic feeling that I missed, and it made me interested in get more or try my hand at MOC building, if I can dust off my old Lego and see what I got.
The best way I can see Lego capitalizing on this market would be to release “battle packs” with Minifigures and some scatter terrain to use in games, more CMFs would be great, and Sets of Brick Built iconic monsters scaled to Minifigures. I can love the idea of using these pieces in actual DnD games in place of miniatures.
I'd love D&D and/or Classic Castle Battle Packs.
Great post and something I can relate to. The main thing I have always built was castle and space and since I got back into the hobby by the end of last year, they are nowhere to be found outside of a few very expensive sets.
Those ideas how they could invest in the D&D theme are perfect to me, even though it would help if they'd also have something in there that actually needs to be built. One thing I never liked about 'Battlepacks' is that you do not get anything worthwhile to build with it. Cost effectively though, this would add exactly what a MOC builder cannot, unique pieces and characters.
Lots of great ideas here in the comments. Really like the dungeon tiles or terrain. The suggested battle-packs would also be great for enemies encountered in numbers like orcs or gobs. Combining sets for an entire campaign seems like a guaranteed success. Perhaps small sets with individual encounters started up, mid-range sets for locations to explore and larger sets with an entire adventure built around them. Then the largest and most elaborate sets might be the climax for the whole campaign. A tavern set with several PC minifigs to choose from where they can all meet and begin their adventures, and / or an inn where they can rest in-between would be a great way to add more characters. Maybe adding one or two PC's in each set will help expand that roster too. It's pretty common for other themes to include an individual from an opposing faction in many sets. Hope to see some great releases for D&D next year! 🤞
Another thing they can do is to sell minifigures, with tools and a small scenery or stand. Almost in the form of a series, but with various mix and match pieces, plus a generated character sheet. I can see something like that going for 10 or maybe 15 dollars per set.
That would be a great introductionary price.
I wouldn't even mind a few larger ones, with bigger characters like minotaurs and such, or a bigger piece of scenery.
Probably not gonna happen, but what they really need to release would be Battle Packs with groups of different races and classes to mix and match. (Plus animals, monsters and little set pieces)
Essentially like the current CMF, minus the randomness.
Cause, the biggest strength (one at least) Lego has over other brick makers are the minifigures.
I am starting to think the CMFs aren't as bad now. Scanning is much better than feeling for them. It still takes time, and I would prefer to just order x amount of what I want. But I would clearly prefer to have battlepacks.
One thing I am starting to observe is them trying to make fancies animals now (I am almost 100% sure it's for DnD - we are getting a new fancy parot, a wolf and some cat variation in the next CMF line ). Wish they would just make more and smaller sets with sheep and so on, so I could get more of them efficiently,
@@octav1600 Online Pick A Brick, dude. 😁
@@Ogre6972 Not sure how the sheep sold out in your region, but I was trying 3 times now to get 80 ... and they kept failing my order =))) (from the Netherlands). I hear people have similar issues with the wolfpack torsos and goats now.
These 'loose' figures, monsters and animals would certainly sell well, but as they would remove the appeal from ordinary sets (like the adventure themed city sets we have now) Im not 100% convinced Lego would do so. It would reduce the amount of unwanted plastic by a lot. Sometimes I buy these small sets just for the animals and the vehicle and minifgures included are basically useless to me.
This is basically what PAB is for. Generally the prices are quite insane, but people tend to pay it so I guess it works for them.
@@octav1600 They need full time printing of the sheep, that is usually a marker .. an early warning sign that they are running out of stock. The sheep always run out first, as everybody uses them.
D&D + LEGO is the prefect collab, pure creativity it should be a no brainer to make more sets!
I would like to see Lego D&D creature packs!
With like 1 detailed minifigure and 1 or 2 buildable creatures such as a Beholder, Ogre, Giant, Wolves, etc.
A second CMF would be great to fill in some of the character types.
I'm thinking as well, small to medium sets with a few minifigures and a location/ scenery
I hope lego will make a castle minifigures serie
I'd absolutely love that
My ideas for a castle minifigure serie are a chainmail knight a green dragon knight with the new armor piece of the dragonborn minifigure in darkgray and the expensive darkgrey helmet and a black knight remake a bull knight remake and a king Richard remake and a medieval priest a peasent minifigure and a landlord. And i,m working on more ideas 😁
I'd like to see a range of new sets, each with a unique monster/creature, a customizable minifig, maybe they could even start putting one of a 7 piece dice set to further encourage fan to pick up the entire line
Imagine a LEGO DnD set with a Purple Worm, it would be amazing~
I'm a fan of both LEGO and DND and for many years thought that the two could mix quite well. I sincerely hope LEGO takes this popularity and runs with it, they could team up with D&D and make advent module themed sets, for example, a set of all types of fighters, or all types of sorcerer, and then modular buildings that we can use in a campaign setting like taverns, gate houses,escapes, forest and swamp. LEGO has the basics. Just need to customize themes & campaign settings...
Some other people mentioned terrain, and having an official version of the square and map element systems people already make would be cool.
However I think the biggest win would be larger figures for common enemies and allies/polymorphs.
Dungeon masters would want to collect dozens of those kinds of figures including multiples of some, and having good models in minifigure-scale which are 2x2+ squares would allow people to play on regular grid maps with matching figures while also offering a good step on the road to a complete LEGO map system to offer a range of options and get people hooked on climbing that ladder.
This would also spark off more custom figures in LEGO's official scale/base-size which would sell a lot of bricks and give them lots of MOCs to draw from.
everything we got from dnd is great, I hope that if it continues we do get cheap stuff as you said (as with any fantasy/castle theme)
You know when Goldfyre uploads it’s gonna be a good day
I feel like if they were to make a D&D Series 2 CMF, instead of having some NPCs and PGCs, there should just be PGCs, one for each class, Rogue, Monk, Fighter, Ranger, Cleric, Paladin, Wizard, Barbarian, Bard, Druid, Sorcerer & Artificer
I would really like to see them come out with “create a character packs” .base it off a race/species, give multiple heads, outfits and a handful of weapons and attachments. They could cost anywhere from $5-$15 depending on how many mini figures you could make and the uniqueness of the pieces
I also think sets for dungeons where we could combine them for campaigns would be dope
‘Encounter’ sets could be cool; each with a monster or group of enemies plus a few background items or terrain versus some adventurers.
Another take would be famous buildings or places from one of the D&D worlds such as the Forgotten Realms.
Lastly I would hope to see modular sets that indeed could connect to form a dungeon or other physical adventure location
I'd like to see D&D 'encounter' sets.. like battle packs, but rather than minifigs, perhaps a monster or two and a couple of terrain pieces. An example would be an Underdark themed encounter with a Drider, a Neverwinter caravan heist, or a Waterdeep sewer encounter with ratmen.
What Lego needs to do is grab the D&D Monster Manual, Fiend Folio, and Deities and Demigods compendium and start creating monster sets. I'm not talking minifigs, but small to medium monster Lego builds like the Beholder, Owlbear, and Gelatinous Cube that came with the castle. Each monster could come with a small build of terrain and a minifigure or 2. They would sell like hotcakes and all us fans would revel in being able to have all those classic monsters to build and enjoy.
Lego could make a mint by looking no further than the monster manual. There is a pretty big market for resin/plastic monster minis that is limited due to the skill and time commitment of painting them. Lego is far more accessible than miniature painting. They could release line after line of brick built monsters and minifigs to sell individually or in monster packs depending on the size of the monsters. Should be pretty easy for their designers, not too expensive to license, and shouldn't be too taxing on the parts budget
your suggestion is awesome! in DnD terms they could have each set be an encounter .
The all-maps connected quest thing is a really cool idea. Could also just be scenes like by the fire camp or carriage. Im also down for a 45$ set. Just a little something for fun.
I think they didn't give it too much thought ahead of the contest (they just thought they would make the one set and be done with it). Somehow the feedback was crazy, and they decided to see how a CMF series does.
Now, depending how well it does (and it should be doing fine, I plan to get 10 of each - at the very least and 20+ dragons and some others - and they are always sold out at the lego store, had to get mine from a supermarket) they can do either of these things:
1) be lego, not like money and just not do any until 2-5 years later they start to poke at it with another CMF line (hope this doesn't happen)
2) they could start doing some smaller sets - I would personally like them in 2 waves each year, with at most 4 sets and at least another CMF line. I would personally LOVE them to have a CMF line each year forever with these things - and maybe add a yellow skin elf ear piece until they exhaust all the current ones we have .Why not more than 4, because there is only so much you can do, and some of them might be just good as kits to buy 10 of each and do something fancy yourself. I could see them making a medium creature like the owlbear, a small tree/ plant / treasure and one minifig for $10, a campfire / caravan / shop with 2 minifigs for $20, a small dungeon or cemetery biome with 3-5 characters (at most $50), larger outlandish biome with a medium or large creature for $75-100.
3) they could release another BIG set, maybe even bigger, with a story to go with it that continues the story in the red dragon's tale (2 and 3 are not mutually exclusive)
Adding to this a village city line with peasant stuff and limited tournament knight factions, and more LOTR sets and one old castle remakes each year and methinks we would be more than happy.
D&D CMF definitely derserves another wave. I don't know much about it so the questions is if there's enough room to make more. From the movie I saw that there was an Arakocra with black feathers and he wore more like a robe then a warrior outfit. They could also give us generic soldiers as they are interchangeable. From a Google search I could see that there are Orcs in the D&D universe so that would probably be the number one seller.
Imagine several smaller sets that each are enough for a small adventure. Maybe make those sets modular so you could even combine them. Like a small townhouse that you place on top of a dungeon set. Get yourself two more dungeons to create more rooms to explore underground. Or combine the house with other stuff to create a large building. If Lego wasn't dumb, they would give us something similar to the CMF: a box with 5 minifigures for 20 bucks. All with double heads and plenty of gear. Guys like me who aren't into D&D, but do love castle would enjoy that, too. Man, dreams without ending...
I'd like to see modular sets like dungeon "Creator" series. Imagine a sea of gray and earth tone bricks, cell doors, arch windows, barrels, maybe a skeleton or 2. An Inn set with mostly brown pieces to assemble all the furniture and a barkeep. The possibilities are endless!
They could easily make multiple short 1 shot campaigns to sell at lower prices. Make a small dungeon to play through and you could make the individual sections modular to combine it with other sets or make your own
Lego should try making some poly-bag sets that are just little brick built monsters and a minifigure or two
Man, small encounter type set would go so hard. Like a cool brickbuild monster, small piece of terrain and a couple figures would be awesome. Or a crypt with undead skeletons for your characters to explore, i can totally see both these ideas in the 20-30€ range. Not really holding out hope for it tho, Lego has pretty clearly shown that anything castle/medieval/fantasy can only ever be a couple hundred dollar. The chances of a DnD series 2 are pretty decent tho i imagine, seeing how the castle community is vaccuming that stuff up
It would be so cool if they made like small things like a 20 bucks battle set or like an quest
Would love if they made a sort of character customization set like the two we got with Harry Potter, just a simple build and maybe two hair, torso, legs, etc for each race/class
I've mentioned it before (not sure if on this channel), but I think LEGO should release a line of brick-built monster sets, similar to Chima's "Legend Beasts", and include 1-3 D&D minifigures in each one. Price could be in line with what is charged for Brickheadz, with a similar total piece count (single, double, multi-pack pricing model), depending on the monster being depicted. Gets us more creatures, and more figs, without breaking the bank.
The campaign that comes with the existing set is honestly pretty minimal as far as table top RPG adventures go so trying to make even smaller of adventures for sets doesn't really make sense in my opinion. What would make sense to me is to have a wave of sets that each include elements for a single encounter of a DnD adventure so if you want to play the whole thing in LEGO you have to collect them all or you can buy just some of them and use pen / paper or regular dungeon terrain for the rest. With this idea I would expect the adventure path to be sold by itself by Wizards of the Coast and then the two products can cross advertise each other.
Alternatively, something that I think would make a lot of sense for DnD is small sets that have an adventure or two and a monster or two to fight maybe with a small terrain build. "Cleric encounters an owlbear" Basically, DnD battlepacks. The nice thing about this is the monsters could easily be added to an existing collection of DnD miniatures for use in games.
2:00 absolutely. As someone who plays Dnd and other medieval roleplays since I was ten, I would buy every set and campaign lego would make.
critical brick would be a great example for how lego could make their dnd sets
I saw his first video a couple days ago and really liked his ideas. It's nice to have someone on here that's doing pure dnd focused lego stuff now
What i found out was after trying different colored horns for the Dragonborn, that the white horns do look way better than the golden ones. They look amazing ;)
Having bought all the minifigures as well as the larger set, what I would hope for is a wave of smaller sets followed by a larger set with a small adventure. Think the old castle sets that were one or two minifigures plus a small set piece like a cart or ballista, but instead it would be one hero character plus a monster or a trap. They could include stat cards, and then with the release of the larger set you could use either the included heroes or one of the characters from the smaller sets, and the DM could use the monsters and traps to enhance the adventure.
the dnd minifig series was probably better than the dnd set
I would be surprised if Lego does not make a second CMF; seems like this stuff is selling extremely well and is the only time I've been just fine with getting lots of duplicates. And you're right, they need to makes some more affordable sets, which would also sell like crazy.
I would be very surprised if we wouldn't get a 2nd minifigure series. The first one we all bought with my friends, but it gave none of the more popular named characters. No Elminster, Drizzt, Minsc and so on.
If we do get some more sets, they might make some easy and /or iconic locations. A famous tavern, like the Yawning Portal or something as simple as an owlbear cave.
Their DnD products were - I assume based on reviews, and my friend group's purchases - financially successful, and their main goal is profit. This IP helps them achieve their goal, the only question is their margins.
I’d love to see terrain tiles. Like dungeon floor tiles or town street tiles. I think you could do a good set for that $50 price point.
I've posted this elsewhere, but it's worth saying again: I'd love for them to make DnD stats for classic Lego Castle characters like Basil the Bat Lord, the Knights Kingdom II heroes and villains, and the Fantasy Era troll warriors.
I really hope they'll make more DnD stuff. There's so many options; More CMF, battlepacks (they could re-dub them encounter packs for this theme), terrain sets, buildings, large monster sets and that's just a few possibilities.
I love the fact we have so many minifigure parts to make custom characters. The actual D&D set is too expensive for my interest level in the source material, but I do think LEGO should make smaller "expansion" type sets that would go along with the existing D&D set.
If they do end up making a setwave they should make it kinda like the ninjago masters of the mountain sets imo
would be nice if they just made smaller sets for enviroments and maybe 1-2 figures with a stand for roleplay
I hope they continue d&d lego sets and continue the cmf series!
I’m going to say something wildly optimistic, and almost certainly wrong: Lego have said that the demand just isn’t there to justify a Castle line, and it’s mostly nostalgia from AFOLs, however the risk can be mitigated by tying it to another brand. Whilst D&D is still niches I think Lego D&D might have proved that demand, and may possibly lead to a full line, in place of a Castle line. Wizkids has long established there’s a market there for D&D minis/terrain - Lego can capitalise that, the Castle collectors and the D&D fans. I’m probably wrong, and you’ll be right about an annual big set, however I think that the potential is there.
Great Video! I would love to see affordable LEGO D&D Sets!
The set was a mixed bag with price and contents. The CMF? Possibly the best of all time?
Foe battle packs, like goblins or orcs for example would be awesome for building lego campaigns
I've also noticed that with the 2 big castles on sale, the Creator 3-in-1 castle has stayed rock solid at RRP with no sales for nearly a year now (at least in the UK, where it is exclusive to a store that generally has great sales). They really, really don't want people to be out there building their own scenes when they could sell you a scene at $360.
At least here in the US amazon has had it at around $80 fairly regularly
They should use DnD as a springboard to review Lego castle/Lego fantasy because they could just make up their own DnD campaign with sets to use
I feel like even they dont' get the license, more fantasy Adventure. It would be fun to get the classic setings, ambush on the cross roads, witch's shake, dungeon, goblin camp and a tavern. I could see a set since teh CMF seem to be doing well and on the cheaper side.
I really hope they do
Yes please, we NEED more! 🧙🏻♂
I think a second CMF wave is pretty much guaranteed. Seems like almost every 3rd party IP gets at least 2.
As far as a full line, that would be cool. I don't think you are getting custom campaigns or scenarios for a $25 set though. I could see them doing a wave with an overarching story or terrain packs. I think either one would be a good approach. Most likely though I see another big set and another wave of CMF.
Hey great review. First time watching your channel. After collecting all the D&D mini figs this year, my gf got me the Red dragon set for xmas with 3rd party lights and I am stoked to put it together.
QUESTION: @00:03:33 you have a bunch of medieval knights lined up. Where can I get those (NPCs)? Thanks!
For sure Lego is going to choose the expensive set with a GWP option as the next D&D set, or they are going to forget about it entirely and never make another. I'd hate for that to happen and I'd prefer to be surprised instead.
I have to be honest though, I was really tempted when I saw the large D&D set and everytime I step foot in a Lego store I still am, but I'm not 360 dollar tempted. If it ever goes on sale for $200 or less, I will buy it.
That said, the best option will be releasing the 25-100 dollar sets and introducing more amazing figures like we saw recently. The D&D CMF had been the best 'set' released this year, if accounting for affordability, with the Medieval Town Square being my 2nd favorite and the Tuxedo Cat a distant third.
I reckon because of the success of the CMF series, they will keep making a bunch of those. Then maybe in the near future like next year, we could see a full wave, much like the new Lego Fortnite wave.
So if they put out a series of sets that let you modularly build your own dungeon to use in a D&D game that would print money. Also I don't think we need new adventures with each set, but the stats for the figures and monsters included.
Id love another Dnd mini fig set. Maybe a tavern set to display them in.
Then changing theme, id love a cyberpunk 2077 mini fig set, i saw Brikzz has 2 and they are amazing and sold out.
They have a $5 minifig and a $400 campaign set. They need to make an $50 to $100 3 in 1 mini campaign creator set. 3 build manuals with 3 different mini campaigns. Bonus if you buy 3 of them you can build 1 big campaign. Bam gets new players from D&D and pulls some of the castle Lego collectors in.
Suggestion, try swapping the head and or hair of basil the bat lord with the new Strahd von Zarovich head from the new dungeons and dragons cmf
i was amazed by the good printing when i bought the set
I hope they do more sets and I think they will make more sets cause the CMF is proving to be very popular and also it would be great for castle fans.
Have you seen the leaked images of the new Wolfpack minifigure?
yeah, I think this will be my favorite minifigure of 2025
All they gotta do is add the armor piece to pab and add the upcoming Wolfpack shield to pab for me to be happy. Also RESTOCK WOLFPACK TORSO IN MY AREA :(
I do think Lego + DnD starter set and another series of minifigures would make the most sense. The set was huge but was not created by Lego but by fan submission and I don’t think they will replicate that.
Sadly, I’m still waiting to find the CMF’s in my local Walmart or Target. Something tells me they are just not getting any in 😢
They better! Ive been loving the theme
We still need pieces and figs for the following characters.
Vecna, Goliaths, Drow, Tiamat, Bahamut, Tabaxis, Leonins, Yuan-Ti, Kenku, Owlin and loads of others. So, I really hope the Lego D&D wagon keeps rolling on further
3:09 is that the lady of pain
I’m looking at Heroica and the dnd style Ninjago era for inspiration
I really hope Lego does continue making D&D sets.
Keep doing minifigs but ones that you can download character sheets for
Then do sets with bad guys for your heros to fight
Like defend the gate from the Forinstance clan of orcs for $50
Clean up the Kobold hoard ...for $25
Up to the Dragon's lair and Spelljammers for $250 -$400
I hope they make more i have the set and its really cool but really expensive
I could see a CMF wave 2 with generic enemies and known name Heroes too. 😊
Would love that, switch the format around. Army-buildable villains is something i was really missing from the CMF
It would make sense if they upscale the old heroica sets and releas them under dnd title
Let’s go DND!!!!!!!
We need more dnd lego!
Give us a Series 2 for D&D 🙏🙏🙏 LEGO
What they need to do is make battle packs. Every DM needs minions for their players to fight in their game. For instance: Make a dungeon filled with a few goblins and two custom player character mini figures. Make battle packs for Orcs, skeletons, Drow, Bandits, City Guards. Bring back Lego Zombies! Lego would make so much money just focusing on dnd battle packs.
My guess, if we get a cheap set, it might be either one shots or pieces of a bigger set
They need to make a full tavern set
