I really hate how many of these sets are being scalped. I knew this was going to happen
What did you expect.
@@VAULT-TEC_INC. I expected exactly that this was going to happen.
What do you mean scapled
@@healthnut3165 selling out quick and people selling sets double price what it sold for from BrickLink. only way get them sets is pre-ordering and wait 8-10 month to get your set from BrickLink.
Why? It's what I do for a job. I offer you what you want at a fair price, and get to play with it first.
I did find a PDF of the Instructions on bricklink.
Though they weren't easy to use on a mobile device and had some real issues, they were 1000 time better then the app instruction which I would label as unusable.
Great video! Keep it up!
9:40 there is a way to keep the gate up, the lever right in front of the guard is to stop it from falling if the modified plate is used as a stop on the winch handle
I was amused watching him use the trap door as the stopper, as I own the set and lever is obvious. Luckily my door is smooth when going up and down.
lol he didn't see it, the brown lever is there! but yeah, trap door also works lol
Thanks for introducing me to this set. Really cool
I have been dreaming to acquire this set, bit don't have it yet. I think it's one of the best castles 🏰 ever, and I totally love the Forestman theme, that was an awesome wave of sets back in the days!
Thank you for your in-depth review! I don't have the funds or justification to spring on this set just yet, but one day I hope to get it!
So, looking at the minifigure choices... I think the Forestmen are fixing to retake their castle from the Black Falcons. For starters, as you noted the Black Falcons seem out of place. Additionally, the peasants seem to be well armed and acting with subterfuge. Thus I am led to think that peasants are actually the disguised Forestmen, waiting for the right time to retake the castle!
I don't have this set, but for the 3 in 1 creator castle I have a minifigure hold the door crank, it does have a lever that's supposed to hold it but it's pretty loose, plus I think having a guard work the door is just fun
I picked this up for 440 Euro. Crazy I know, but I had to have it before it gets even more expensive as it is rare, together with the Lion Knights' Castle and Medieval Blacksmith.
Please do more castle vids!
I love the look of this set. I'm not crazy about the non-PDF digital instructions, though; generally, I love digital instructions, but I much prefer PDF. I missed out on this set; actually, hearing about this set was how I found out about BrickLink. I'm in the process of building my own Black Falcons army and castle MOC around a core of 8 (yes, that's eight) 3-in-1 castle sets and two blacksmith sets. I don't know if it's worth it to me to try to get this set after-market with how much it's already increased in value, but I'll see what the upcoming 90th anniversary set looks like.
You should make a video showcasing your castle MOC when ur done, I’d love to see it.
Great review! Looks like I missed a wonderful set. Oh well.
Looks great. If it would have been for sale, I would have bought it.
Ich wished for a close-up of the mini figures, the raft and the stickers.
Thanks for the review. Didn't buy the set but found all the instructions as pdfs via the bricklink site to have a look at them so they are available (and for free). The animated instructions would have really annoyed me.
Would you choose the castle in the forest over the 3-1 castle or the lion knights castle?
Your rlly cool duckbricks I wanna be just like you
Really wanna see one of these "Designer Program" set instructions, to get an idea. Never seen one of them, which is strange. Thank for the review!
Extremely late and you probably know by now, the reason you haven’t seen instructions is because they are all online and never got physical booklets
Now you just have to replace the stickered forestman shields with the recent printed ones then this set would be perfect!
How come the worlds most intriguing young man has less then a million subs?
Oh, man: this set is awesome. I love the amalgamation of 6054 Forestman's Hideout, 6077 Forestman's River Fortress, and 6066 Camouflaged Outpost. What a bummer it didn't make it to the final stage; this is the kind of set i would love to see from Lego. Is there a way to resurrect the votes?
is that the only Lego & bricklink collab set if you know what i mean
Can Bricklink or Lego just print another set of copies?
Almost perfect.
Just needs goats.
Not talking Love and Thunder..
🐐🐐🐐🤠
I'm still so angry that those Designer Program don't delivery in Japan...
you should have more subscribers dude
I hear ordering BrickLink AFOL its take like 8-10 months. probably most people probably forget about ordering that set when it comes in mail.
How does this work? It's not an official set, so it's done with spare parts resold? Very cool.
Lego owns bricklink now, so lego is using bricklink as a way to sell lego ideas sets that were not picked by lego. They only can use current pieces unfortunately, and any decals are stickers. But is very cool
This is an official set. It’s set number is 910001. Lego sold it on their website last July and only produced 10,000 copies. The design was done by a fan with the some help from Lego designers to make sure it used parts that are still available and was stable enough. It’s part of the BrickLink Designer Program line.
I own this set, I am a huge fan of the Forestmen theme and was a bit disappointed because the minifigures don't resemble the forestmen style and because of the stickers but overall I am very satisfied. I would say it doesn't worth the 400-500 dollars and if you have the chance, get all the pieces and build it yourself. You wont spend that much money on it this way🙏
I had to make some color substitutions here and there on some bricks, but that's what I just did. It's more than this set cost had I been able to buy it when it was available, but it was quite a bit cheaper than paying the scalper prices. And you can now get actual forestmen bodies and printed elk shields too, so I'm happy to have those!
@@kaltech04I wanted to do this. I wanted to see if doing black trees instead of brown would look good
I had planned on doing black trees too! But there were a couple of parts that just weren’t available in black, and I wanted to stick with the build as it was (for the most part, I still chanted the trees a bit), so I just did brown tree trunks.
@@kaltech04 dude that’s so cool to hear !!! Honestly I don’t mind working around it or using the dark brown parts as substitute over the unavailable black parts. I’m just hoping the black will look better than brown 😭😭😭
I still haven't received it. I am a little worried!
Yikes, likely lost in the mail then. I’d call Lego support they should have all been delivered by now. Unless it’s one of the other sets they did a later batch of them in august.
It's already pretty impressive BUT it would be much better if LEGO actually included the original minifigure parts, like the Forestmens' suits and hats, and the original colors of the bricks. "Don't get cheap on me, Dodgson."😂
wow
Awesome review. I had a chance to get this, but wanted to think about it and then it sold out so fast. I regretted it immediately 😞
Why regreting on that?? A much more detailes Lego Castle should be coming for the 90th brand anniversary!
Honestly not the biggest fan. It's really flimsy overall. I added some attachments that lock in the sides so it doesn't just flap around when you barely move it.
There's a lot of small build complaints about it as well, usually lego idea sets are cleaned up by lego themselves.
There is PDF Instructions on Bricklink.....
lego not making this was a huge mistake.
I am always bothered with the shingled roof in this set and in the blacksmith, it looks really bad, like metallic. lion's knight castle thatched roof looks much much much medieval and much better.
I got mine last year since I managed to pre-order it when it came out.
But I haven't build it.
Why? Precisely because it lacks proper instructions and I LOATHE digital instructions. Even in pdf format, I won't accept it. I don't like the experience of having to have a computer near me when building LEGO, much less a smartphone.
I didn't know it wouldn't bring instructions when I purchased. But after I found out, it was enough for me to completely dismiss any further BDP sets. Specially as these sets are already overpriced to begin with.
And no, I sure as hell am not going to spend 160€ to print them. I'm not paying more to print instructions than I paid for the set.
At this point, I will likely just hold unto it. And if some day I should need (hopefully not), I'll just resell it.
I would totally be down to buy it from you.
If you own the original sets that the Castle in the Forest is based on (River Fortress 6077, Camouflaged Outpost 6066 and Forestmen's Hideout 6054), there is really no point in getting this updated version that doesn't even come with any classic forestmen minifigures.
this set got destroyed by scalpers who put it up for more than the 10305 will be so a strong pass
It would have been really great if Lego would have made these sets. They could have made EXACTLY the same sets as back in 1988/1989 but with 2-3 times the pieces / far more details. The kids would have LOVED it. I mean, Lego even made 1-2 sets as a free giveaway in their online store. The knew it could be done. Too late now anyway. China stole this idea and people are buying at ridiculous prices. RIP, Lego.
No physical instructions is a deal breaker for me.
Too bad it's so much now...
Lego is dead. It's just ships and temples that all look the same now.
Lego didn't design this anyway so...
Um...you may want to re-check that.
dead is your wallet lol
