As a kid I saw the map with Elflands on it, and got SO excited for a bunch of sets like the Dwarves Mine set they made. I love elves and dwarves! Sadly, my childhood heart was broken and no sets came out...someday I hope they bring back those dwarves, trolls, and elves for real! But of course, now they make actual LotR sets, they probably won't make their own. But I can dream!
I am a 100 percent with you on that😂 honestly I hate how much Lego relies on movie themes these days instead of making there own. Fantasy era was iconic and we probably will never get that again
@@BrickingUpBrad I do love Lego lotr, but that fantasy theme and Space Police III are two amazing types of Lego themes I really miss. So many types of figures and imaginary cultures
I find it strange that after all these years, LEGO has’nt made a medieval theme with an elf faction in it (the LOTR sets dont count) They’ve made factions for other races before like orcs, skeletons (my favorite), dwarves, golems (I think the stone monsters from Nexo Knights count as golems), ect but it seems like the elves were always the ones to be left out despite the fact that they’re one of the most popular fantasy race
A few things. Firstly, wow, this video has incredible editing. Great job! Secondly, the Elflands are crucial to uncovering the connection between Lego Castle and Lego Pirates. In the Island Warrior’s bio, it mentions how he was trained by the forest maiden, the elf, and the leprechaun. It also talks about how the warrior lives on one of the islands from Lego Pirates. The Forest Maiden has a direct connection to the forestmen, and the Elf has a direct connection to the fantasy era, meaning that at some point, the elves and the forestmen banded together.
Thank you so much! And omg how did I miss this this is so important!!!! I always do as much research as possible but didn’t think to look in non castle themes. When I eventually do pirates I will need to do remember this!
Also I super appreciate the editing I really wanted to make it feel like story book editing! And put my heart and soul to make it as entertaining and interesting as possible!
If Lego ever do give us the proper Castle Elflands, I hope they bring in all the Mini-Doll hair varieties with yellow ears. And common Elfland soldiers should look as much as possible like the CMF Elf, maybe with some of them having the helmet shown in the map sketch too.
I always knew about the two line elf figures! But I had no idea they had ties to fantasy Era! Both figures are very well detailed and I’m rather happy to have learned their stories:D… But something I did take note of is the mention of trying to find a magic goblet, they did not have it but were looking for it, in the dwarves mine the King has a gold goblet, Do you think the dwarves have a bit of a secret?👀 (EDIT: I just remembered the crown knights have a green dragon, which had the goblet you mentioned, What if the Crown knights took the dragon and gave the Goblet to the dwarves as a way to make an alliance, you did say it was magic. And we can see in the troll warship that the peace treaty held true because a dwarf is being rescued ) anyhow this was a great episode! And really enjoyed, have a great day Brad!
Sorry didn’t have time to reply! But I love this theory! It definitely lines up! When I heard emerald dragon I did think of the same dragon that’s why I used it in the video! But honestly this is an amazing theory! I told you you would like this video
You should fill that pint with honeywine ;) Its like everything looks a lot like lotr.... lego should make there own story or we should do it with our own imagination and combine everything in a book.
Who says I don’t have some in there😉😂 I will say many of the visuals I used are ones I made custom just to add a great look to the video and did have lotr in mind! But I do agree they should make a book and then make a theme around it! It would be so cool to have original content like that from Lego! Or even a tv show!
Glad I found your channel this way, because I had always been wondering about this Fantasy Era Map and the Elf connection! Thanks for the fun video about it! Subbed and I'll be checking out more!
No way! Castle knowledge I had no idea about! Perhaps one day we will get a elf faction. One that wasn't made of mini dolls! Totally agree with you on that point! I think lego should start making amazing themes like they used to instead of doing so many lisecned themes. Maybe them could remake the western kingdom! That's my dream.
@ yeah but if I where desperate also my dream would be they made affordable sets because I’m young and I can’t buy expensive second hand sets and lion knights castle I wish that they made it a theme and could have a elf poly bag or something
Okay we got humans vs skeletons Dwarves vs Trolls (Green Skins) Who'll be against Elves to keep things even cause I'm not sure lego will do Dark Elves cause... well obvious reasons 😏 maybe make a new faction of Lizardmen or Beast people would be cool
On the Elflands map it would have been more intelligent to illustrate the elf without the helmet so his ears were visible. Otherwise how do you technically know it’s an elf. The LEGO creative team was definitely getting their Tolkien inspiration on with that map & lore.

@@empatheticrambo4890 oh yeah they are great!
@@empatheticrambo4890 Lego LotR is great, no doubt about it. But it's soooo expensive xD

So true I really hope we get a good elf faction at some point

It's 2023. The last castle theme was a decade ago. Let's hope this year gives us what we want!
Fantasy era was the best castle theme of all time. Hope they return to those roots and expand.. so many opportunities.
The elf image on the map always drove me mad 😭
Right! It’s such a tease!
Don't you be mean to Lego Elves, it's a great theme!
That said... I do want Castle Elves. More elves for everyone!

Thanks for the heart 😂 but I just edited the message with more proof to my claim lol enjoy!

The Elflands! This is my dream theme. Time to start talking this one up! Great video-- I really enjoyed it.
I miss fantasy castle, I wish I got some of the dwarf, and skeleton stuff.
Man I love fantasy themes there needs to be more
loved it! love the research and pics you choose to share!!
Thank you so much! Had to create many custom graphics for this one due to there not being an actual them and only two figs lol!
In my Elfland the Lego Elfs live togehter with the Enlighten Elf girls from the War of Gloy Theme.
Amazing theme. My gf mixed War of Glory elf tiger-riders with Cronan's Castle goblin army from Lego Elves.
Also, the Moon Warrior collectible figures are great to make Night Elves from Warcraft.
You should fill that pint with honeywine ;)
Its like everything looks a lot like lotr.... lego should make there own story or we should do it with our own imagination and combine everything in a book.

@@BrickingUpBrad or castle fans should make it on there own ;)
Awesome video! I have 1 elfland minifigure! It’s cool!
They are really amazing figs! I want to get both the cmfs from it one day!
Glad I found your channel this way, because I had always been wondering about this Fantasy Era Map and the Elf connection! Thanks for the fun video about it! Subbed and I'll be checking out more!
Great video, love the animations.
Thank you so much! I really wanted the bios to be like a story book almost with the graphics
Love it man!
Ive been waiting for a video about this
Awesome!
Nice video, interesting story.😁 Luckely i have all elfs (including LOTR/Hobbit)
I love this one!!! Perhaps you can expand it to include the LOTR and Hobbit sets.. I like to think the Mirkwood Elves are all brethren!
Don’t sleep on elves though, it’s a solid theme
super cool vid!
Speaking of Advent calendars, which one do you prefer: 1) The fantasy-era Castle calendar, or 2) the Kingdoms calendar?
Nice
these are the best
Hope lego brings back a lego castle theme
Hello Brad, big fan of your channel, can you do a Tavern Talk about ALL Castle/Fortresses/Stronghold/Lair from all the factions!!!!!???? Please!!!!
No way! Castle knowledge I had no idea about! Perhaps one day we will get a elf faction. One that wasn't made of mini dolls! Totally agree with you on that point! I think lego should start making amazing themes like they used to instead of doing so many lisecned themes. Maybe them could remake the western kingdom! That's my dream.
Where do you find the cmf character bios????
Lego.com or brick pedia
I like Lego elves.🧝♂️
The forrestmen are close enough
I very much disagree. Forestmen are boring compared to what we could get with an elf faction.
@ yeah but if I where desperate also my dream would be they made affordable sets because I’m young and I can’t buy expensive second hand sets and lion knights castle I wish that they made it a theme and could have a elf poly bag or something
Okay we got humans vs skeletons
Dwarves vs Trolls (Green Skins)
Who'll be against Elves to keep things even cause I'm not sure lego will do Dark Elves cause... well obvious reasons 😏 maybe make a new faction of Lizardmen or Beast people would be cool
Don't diss Elvendale, it's a great theme.
Don't get me wrong Lego Elves is great, but man would a Castle Elves theme be cool.
Right it would go so hard!
Lego should bring back elflands
On the Elflands map it would have been more intelligent to illustrate the elf without the helmet so his ears were visible. Otherwise how do you technically know it’s an elf. The LEGO creative team was definitely getting their Tolkien inspiration on with that map & lore.
