Considering how big of a castle fan I am, it surprises me that I still don't own the medieval town square. I guess because it still has retail life time left, I've maneuvered most of my funds to sets that were retiring. 2024/2025 will be huge for Medieval fans. With so many Bricklink sets coming out and I'm going to purchase every single one of them.
These are all sets I intend to buy (some multiple times). I love them all, even with their flaws. The biggest flaw I find in these are the stickers. While I didn't expect to have only prints, the Medieval Town Square should have at least had the shop signs that are endlessly useful as prints and the letters with the dragon, lion and bat? crests.
Probably, yes, but all of these sets are aimed at an adult audience. It feels like they’re forgetting about the kids who would likely love this theme as well.
The town square despite its short comings is still the directions I love that medieval has gone which is a focus on the town life. There is a lot of fun adventures to have with the animals and different town folk and tax collector and bandit. I just want to separate the inn and red building to other things. maybe a stable and inn.
I would be thrilled if Lego released one solid medieval-themed set each year that complements both the Medieval Town Square and the Lion Knights' Castle.
@@lukasthebuilder Yes, If they intend to do something for everyone then that would be needed to have a legacy collection of this line of quality in a toy. I think the pair is timeless, beautiful, playful and fun for all ages and sexes, its the perfect kit(s) the Snow White one while tempting and is cool though lacking the backside and useful minis for the cost, I think will do better with some of the clearance "Wish" kits on sale by multiplying them to make medieval buildings. It will be my crafting corner! then I can free up space in the other builds. Lego is huge now so I guess once a year at this scale is pretty epic.... what would follow next?
I don't collect Medieval sets. I tend to focus on contemporary-style buildings. But I love the potential the stroytelling potential in incorporating these four sets together, plus the recent D&D minifigure series and BrickLink Mountain Fortress, which was shipped to customers earlier this year, as well as the Forest Stronghold, which should be shipped out early next year.
@@lukasthebuilder I'm into the idea of a 'Lego City,' so that's my basis for gravitating towards more contemporary-style buildings and sets. However, occasionally, it is possible to incorporate or modify a more Medieval set within a contemporary Lego City. What I love about the Hocus Pocus set, for example, is that it can fit into either a modern or Medieval setting.
Worth mentioning as alternatives or supplements are all the medieval sets from Funwhole and BlueBrixx. The former are generally more esthetically refined and subtly detailed (plus have lights), the latter more realistic than Lego's offerings. Not sure how Barad-dur is medieval since it's pure fantasy, but I suppose it very vaguely fits "medieval." Ditto the Snow White set. If we're being honest, Lego has pretty much forgotten the Castle theme, as with most of their classic themes, in favor of all the licensed IP stuff :(

This year Mountain Fortress, Forest Stronghold. Transylvania, Siege Encampment next year. The golden castle era of lego.

@@lukasthebuilder31120 for kids…
don't forget the seaside market and the new wolfpack stronghold. 2024/2025 will be costly for castle fans.

This year has been fantastic for medieval collectors. That said, I find myself leaning more toward contemporary-style sets as well.
