Lego really needs to come up with their own themes/bring back more of their old original themes back.
1000%
They have several of their own themes like NInjago, Monkie kid, city, friends, technic, speed champions, CMF, creator, and they have a new one coming called Dreamzz. They also had Hidden side, Nexo knights, Legends of Chima more recently.
@@bz6046 thank you
@@bz6046oh you mean Ninjago, Chinese Ninjago, City, City for girls, complicated cars, simple cars, minifigures (which are in every single other theme), and City but interesting? 😂
Yes
Looks like a awesome set! Now Lego need to make a Knight “Battlepack” (either all lion Knights, or a mix Lion Knights vs bear knights as a example)
1000000%! I hope they make more sets!
@@SW_Bricks makes sense for them to do so. But like with the ucs at at, and the snow trooper battle pack. Something similar with the medieval theme would work wonders
@@BeanieBoyBricks They used to do battle packs for the fantasy era theme, but sadly they wont do what you said cause lion knights dont have anything to do with the Frightening knights
That's what I'm hoping for too. Maybe they could make those "Minifigure packs" that have 3-4 figures?
They could make 1 for Black falcons and 1 for lion knights. Maybe even include an horse?
I’d prefer a wolf pack battle pack myself.
I have it and I agree with your review, it's a very fun build. I found myself doing "one more bag " quite often while I put it together.
Me too! Very addictive!
As someone who owns the Kings Castle, I might consider picking this up because I really value the building experience in sets! I still wonder why Axidroid is in this set.
I like the set but it would honestly make more sense to make more of the knights men or have male and female heads so you could choos
You can put whatever heads on you want mate.
Awesome video man. Just received my Lion Knights Castle yesterday and waiting for the weekend to finally open up the box and start building 😁 This is my first Lego set in over 30 years and I am 42! Been having an itch to get back into Lego's for quite some time now. As soon as this set caught my eyes, I knew I had to have it. Even my wife supported me in the purchase. Still remember my young years and the countless hours spent playing with my Lego sets, some of which consisted of knights and remember always wanting a castle set. Once I grew older and lost some interest in Lego's, all of my sets were handed down to my nephews which they dearly enjoyed playing with. One exception, was the 1989 Black Seas Barracuda which was stowed away in the back of my closet and is ready for a rebuild. Looking forward to the nostalgic build.
Never understand why people explain there are 6 rooms in the house... the house has 3 rooms. The toy castle is in the bedroom, the harpsichord is in the dining hall and the kitchen is across the room from the mill. When you close the building its all the same floor... not 6 seperate rooms
Underrated comment
i love how its not a "dollhouse" style build --- what i mean is that the characters can get anywhere in it by climbing stairs / ladders / etc. when it is closed fully, where in other builds you have to pretend they magically got up a level
It is made to make 3 rooms into 6
Love the quick but informative style of your reviews!
Thanks ben!
It’s definitely the best Lego set I’ve ever owned. Just fantastic, totally agree with your review in every respect.
Worth for sure. Love that set. This set got soul, love was put into it. Congrats to designers! U nailed it guys. I have all castle sets from 90s and this is actually very nice mix of old ways with new ingenious technics.
I love how the Lego lion knights castle set was a mixture of cool play features and an amazing build
My absolute favorite part of this set is the “royal turd” as I’ve dubbed it. I thought it was weird how they used a brown frog & then while building the toilet I was like “oh…OH!” 😂
I just got this for my birthday and it is amazing! 2 of three dream sets acquired!!! 👏
When I built the balcony wall, sliding away to reveal that golden frog when you close down this segment, I just had to clap my hands. Might be the most ingenious technique I've seen.
I own this one as well as the black falcon mountain fortress. What I don't like about the LK castle is that it's very crammed and half-scale. If you put it next to the blacksmith's set you''ll notice that right away.
Very hype about this set as the old castles were something I really wanted as a kid but couldn't have. Weird that they didn't put in the king though. I suppose the queen is ruling alone right now.
Sadly Lego has to cater to the feminists. It should've been a king or even put both of them in but instead Lego chose to go with just a queen.
@@cancel.lgbtq.6892 grow up
Un castillo sin Rey es como el ajedrez sin Rey
Another loser whos never been with a woman crying about a female minifigure lmao
I give it 9.8 / 10 because it has no king, but then again, maybe 2 royalties would make it a bit too much, so yeah 10 / 10
Or ur just sexist mate?
@@ammiel9933nah kings just seem more historically accurate
I love the Black Falcon knight with the enormous backpack. Straight out of Monty Python.
I think it was supposed to go for 350$ but due to the price increase in August/September they didn't bother change it after 1 month and just went with 400$ instead.
I bought one when it was released to early access. I bought a second one as soon as the limit was increased to two in Canada. A week later, LEGO raised its online purchase limit to five... and if I had the money, I'd buy three more. I'm planning a huge Castle MOC... but I have a UCS Landspeeder and Optimus Prime to build first.
I would really like to see the minifigure parts from this set on Pick-a-Brick Online... I would love to get proper black helmets for my recently-built Black Falcons Army, and assemble a Lion Knights Army to go along with them.
@@jacksonstarky8288 You can do so now they are on PAB
@@bz6046 Thanks for mentioning that. Yeah, I found the black helmets last week and ordered a bunch. I couldn't find the Lion Knights minifig parts though... I might have another look now.
Truly AMAZING!
Close to perfect. Only downsides: 1) no King 2) no throne
In a followup BrickLink/Lego set, the king was abducted.
"The Black Falcon used to be a powerful baron of the Old Kingdom. After the Lion Knights took over the realm, the arrangement was made for Black Falcon's daughter, Kunegunde, to marry the king. However, when the baron fell in a joust, these plans came to naught and the king married another baroness. But Kunegunde decided to take matters in her own hands...
A few years ago, together with her younger sister, who was a royal falconer, Kunegunde managed to covertly organize an abduction of the king when he was on a hunting trip. Now the king is being secretly held in a remote and inaccessible mountain fortress, while Kunegunde is readying for a winter campaign against the queen."
I am actually building it right now as I got it for Christmas, I am halfway through the build having completed the first part and I can’t wait to build the rest
That looks sick to bag it’s so expansive
can the whole set fit inside the box for storage?
I own the set and it doens’t but It’s still my favorite set
Really enjoyed your review but you forgot to mention my favourite hidden gem; the Forestmen cave under the market area!
Great review hoping to get this set soon. Can you make a video of your new awesome knight collection we gotta see the big bump on your lion knights
incredible set will definitely be looking to pick it up
A great set and a good walk-through, thanks. PLEASE slow down your speech though. it's so fast it's like an audio blur at times!
Agree, but it's a lot of info so im good with it. You can slow down the speed in settings to .75 or even .25 speed. I tend to 1.5x videos for faster talking.
Almost perfect except the steep price. Lego is becoming expensive hobby now. Sadly most people can't afford $100 + set any longer. I spent so much money on Bat Tumbler , Baracuda Bay , Optimus Prime , and 90th year Castle. When I was a kid , I didn't have much money so getting a small Lego set was special treat for me.
The most expensive set I got was 25$ on sale. Now that I have a decent job, Ive spent a few thousand $ on legos. The resale has been great tho.
I'd get if was 200 but 400 is laughable to me. I would like this though can't justify the cost.
Looks amazing. $500 (Cdn) pretty hard to swallow though; on the fence.
I have this set, but not built yet. Waiting for my moc to finish 😀 It's great, but it has a few small drawbacks too
Ah youll love it when you get to it! Would love to see you review it!
im getting this set want it so badly
That queen's cape will be worth $40 in 5 years. Watch
So true 😂 some things in this set are already stupidly priced!
I like how you completely forgot about the underground cave in the middle of the castle. Good review though
Also LEGO finally restocked the black falcon torsos on pick a brick in Australia. Got me 10 of them
here in Netherlands they are still sold out, checked a bunch of times but they never seem to be in supply.
@@Markotram after I bought mine they sold out too
it’s such a majestic set! sadly i’m too broke for it tho…
I just need to donate plasma 3 more times and i can get it LOL
I have this castle set too!
Where is the mods video? I would love to see that!
Damn, I want one so bad! Shame it’s out of my price range. Enjoyed the detailed review though!
Great review! Looking forward to watching your "improvements video"!
Amazing video! But when u said that ”if this was accurate Lego would be celebrating their 790th anniversary” isnt correct because because in the 2 instruction the Wizard says which to choose? A sturdy armet or a nasal helm?? I’ve always fancied a pointed hat!” And armets were invented in the 15th centry so they would be celebrating their 522nd anniversary. Sorry IM Finnish so here might be some spelling mistakes.
Great review, I have this epic castle on my shelf also.😀 I can't wait for improvement video😁
So many sets I would get if I had the space and money
Thanks for the video . I am looking forward to building it . I plan to build it as-is and then moc it afterwards -- , not sure how , but I know my moc will not have the angle the original has. Take care , Dreamer
10305 is absolutely my #1 top set
i have the AT-AT i loved building it lol
Dang this thing is an epic build!
I have that Set and it's just awsome, now if we would get more of the castle theme maybe a whole line of Sets that would be soo cool unfortunately knowing lego they probably wont do that...
The yellow castle is not a homage to the lion knight's castle in a "yellow color scheme" man. There was an actual yellow castle and that's where the shield heraldics are from too.
10/10 Amazing set
When will you be uploading the ‘upgrades’ video?!?
I think there should’ve been a throne room…
the king came in a cmf series
So does anyone think because of these three castle sets are selling good.
Do anyone think or hope we might see the return of "Lego Theme Castle/Kingdoms" sets returning in the early future?
If Lego is smart , they would come out with small sets that people can afford. This giant castle is great and all but not everyone has $400 to spend specially with today economy.
The two knights w/o the helmets kinda look like Luke Skywalker and Biggs Darklighter ngl
You should. do a moc with it like a mountain with the throne
short answer: no. lego is way overprices in comparison to its competition and the only reason they are still in the monopole in the market is nostalgia, licensing and carelessness of customers
Why did they make over half the knights women? We all know knights were not woman and it just bothers me how now I need to replace these heads because LEGO wants to be inclusive while also being historically inaccurate.
Pretty silly
I want to get this once it goes on sale.
Ngl might not go on sale as its a lego exclusive, best bet, 2x ViP
It is the perfect set :)
Great vid
Best set i whant it now!
I need one!!!
Awesome!!!!
I love this set so sad I can’t afford it
Ill wait for it to go on sale for 350$ 😆
400$ is too steep to justify
m8. you missed the secret room in the middle...
You mean the golden frog?
@@SW_Bricks nah, the hideout room under the castle. with the vines and bullseye and table...
Even earlier woooooo
Such a big set for the UFO (97) aliens..? 😍🤤💖
For Legos 100yr anniversary the lego set will be $1,000 dollars
To answer question: yes, yes it is.
I love it but have no room and am broke
Mi sobrino de 10 años tiene el set, pero le resultaba raro sin Rey y con cabezas de chicas como caballeros, así que le obsequié minifiguras masculinas incluida la de un Rey y él reemplazó todas las cabezas de chicas por chicos, me dio las gracias y dijo ahora si se parece a la historia
Also why not a king i feel like the world is so focused on girls now that we forget (in toys )that most of history it was men who were in the military
You could use small amounts of sticky tac to put figs on the ramp
This is not historically accurate. Only men were fighters, not women.
That's true, but the bodies are gender neutral, so you can swap out the heads
@@codythedoggo7671 Exactly. That's what I made. I bought some templars minifigs and transformed to a templars Castle.
The yellow castle was not a lion knights castle
9:01
400 bucks though...
900 person to like
So we have minifigs wearing kettle hats dating to around the 12th century, along with minifigs wearing nasal/Norman helmets dating to the 9th/10th century as well as “knights” wearing plate chest armour and helmets but no additional armour which never really happened. Plate armour coming in around the 14th century and common in the 15th but we are talking full plate armour not just the chest alone and a nice helmet. 🤔 Then there’s the issue of the dungeon being totally inaccurate.
09:12 Pretty sure the design of the Black Falcons is someone at LEGO referencing Monty Python’s Holy Grail film. The knight with the backpack looks suspiciously like “Patsy” Arthur’s servant in the film. And the Knight with the black crusader type helmet is very reminiscent of the Black Knight too…the face print for him looks a lot like John Cleese!
I bought this now im broke

No ghost no deal
No
its way too woke with all that females, but i guess thats the time now we are living in
Yes it's ridiculous (like the Eldorado Fortress) but it's easy to change the heads. I bought some templars minifigs and made a Templars Castle. 👍
I just uploaded my First stop motion! If you want to see it it’s here ua-cam.com/video/LEW7i3u_xlw/v-deo.html
This isn't the biggest castle Lego has ever created. It's just the biggest castle set Lego has ever created 🤔😉
You talking about Hogwarts?
@@SW_Bricks I was just talking about all the castles the built for Lego land and the like
Why are all the minifigs women ?
The original minifigs just had eyes and a smile face … the player could could use there own imagination to what gender it is!!!
This woke lgbt sh*t has gone mad
They are not all women. I have the set and just swap out the heads that's what I did, takes a minute and bam you have your knights.
WHY
ARE
THERE
FEMALE SOLDAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, lego castle all takes place in the same universe, it’s been fantasy since dragon masters was introduced, there was also a female knight in 2002.
But to answer your question
