Set looks great. But it’s riddled with stickers!? Seriously, why now after making all the other nostalgia Icons sets sticker free?! 😢 Please query the designer on why.
Because money
@@sanlands Personally I would be willing to pay more for 100% prints, whereas the stickers actually make me want this less. 🫤
@@NinjaHelpdeskwould be 300 or more if everything you asked for everything to be printed...
@@dgray3771I would’ve paid that. I already bought lion knights castle day it released and I could be any happier!
Shocking low number of animals! Reading between the lines even the designer do not seem happy with the decision to cut the budget from the prelim set shown in the survey leak last year. Will be very interesting to see the interview and hear what he have to say :)
fully agree, the "genius" deisger really screwed up there. ruins the set
This set looks amazing, I can’t wait to pick it up! Thanks for the behind-the-scenes look at the lore, it made me even more excited for March 1st!
This set is amazing
And a decent price
I wish it had more animals, cows especially, the designer mentioned they went to buy cows, so the cows should be included, even though the parents aren't there
The goat is cool
I said something similar on another video and got sass for not being grateful for what it already came with. I honestly expected a horse somewhere at the very least. Gold is heavy, and that tax cart is gonna be one hell of a load to lug around (if that is indeed for the tax collector guy).
This is so cute! I love all the attention to detail they put into this set’s design!
So so happy I picked up two black and white cows off of Bricklink to pair with the cheese maker story arc 🙌🏼
It's not often that LEGO makes a building set that can completely close up, so it feels extra special when they make one. That feature was one of my favourites of the set this is based on and the fact that it's not present here feels like a huge step backwards.
Fine looking set. I partically like the tapestry maker's house. That is, the dark red window pieces, the green door, the roof is wonderful. I like all roofing in this set, anyway. A fairly clean look with visible studs veers away from intentionally shoddy construction, which is popular among some of the MOC builders. It's no good having the Luftwaffe vicariously pay a visit IMO. Perhaps a horse with lots of fresh hay is missing from this market? After all, there's a boy with a carrot, and a cart.
You devils, kept us unaware of this 😁. Great! One question: the part of the parents getting out for a cow, does it mean additional set(s)? 😁
Oh wow I hope! Especially with the lack of animals!
Since it's part of the Icons theme, I doubt it. I was hoping for a renewed Castle Theme for this year, but it looks like we'll have to keep dreaming :/
Nope that means you have to buy the castle to get the ox card with the parents.
Mayby other remakes of older castle sets... i think there are more farmer.sets...
add 10 more dollars to the price so I don't have stickers
A million times this. I typically discard the stickers because I'm horrible at applying them and don't want to mess up the set.
I mean, he's a designer. As a fellow designer, I'd expect him to know this set inside and out. All of the major and minor decisions have to be justified. "We only have the budget to include a few animals and so many minifigures given we don't want to cut the size of x building or detail of x interior, or whatever else we don't want to sacrifice. What is the justification we can provide from a customer's standpoint? From a play standpoint as we are designing a toy (even if it's for adults)? Well the cheese-makers are off buying a cow, so their daughter is heading the shop while they're away. Maybe the cow they're buying is the cow in the Lion Knights Castle. As for what we can keep, well we can have one medium-large sized animal, and this is the perfect setting for a goat. Our fans have been wanting a goat for over a decade, so this is a very strong and successful decision."
"We're only allotted a few printed pieces. What are the most important pieces that should be printed? I guess the signs can go, but that tapestry painting and the decorated shield really should be printed as they are key pieces to the set and also rare and complex illustrations our mostly adult customers would love to collect. The signboards are also key, unique pieces and added for some cheeky fun, so let's not ruin that by making them stickers."
Choices like this are basic design decisions that have to be made when designing anything. Of course, only the design team knows the real justification behind their decisions, but it's not surprising he knows his work inside and out. I know this is a hefty comment, especially if you're reading on mobile, but I just really love design and the creative and decision-making processes behind it, so I thought I'd share some of that.
The tapestry is a sticker
I am buying the lions castle, but I am avoiding this set due to the stickers. I rather have less details, more figures and no stickers or more animals and no stickers.
@@metroid767 I was very disappointed when I found that out. According to the lead designer, it seems like the financial team that set the budget only allowed for 1 print, and it makes the most sense that it was the shield as it's a minifigure accessory and another prominent display piece. Regardless the same principle applies to these types of decisions. But again, it stings big-time that the tapestry is a sticker. I also dislike that the wanted and for sale posters are stickers, especially with how small they are. At least Lego's stickers are of extremely high quality.
@@Nozdormu1982 Yeah, stickers are a big turn-off for me, too. This set is definitely a disappointment on many parts. Personally, I enjoy the play aspects it provides with many different roles and characters even if it does lack play features since it's an adult-oriented set. Sucks there's so many stickers, though.
might them buying a cow be a hint at a future set?
Would be nice if they gave a pasture set with 2 cows a kalf and a cart pulled by horse " with the parents"
Gwp?
No. He said its the cow thats in the Lion Knight's Castle... Seems to me like they had to strip out a lot of elements to reach the price point.
@@andhe Ok that is an explanation. But who are the parents then? Since I can't recall any figures in the set that match that kinda description. But in all honesty they could easily do a GWP that includes a pasture with some cows and figures.
I wish that guy who designed the medieval blacksmith set and helped with Rivendell set, was the designer of this set. :(
Gotta keep in mind, this is supposed to be next to the lion castle, so it should be in the same style 😁
@@ClassicStudStudios I'm not a big fan of the smaller scale of this style. There's no space for the finer details, and building techniques that u see in large scale styles. I realize its called "town", but i would have been fine with fewer buildings. But, i will assimilate this set into my MOC which has a style that looks more like the medieval blacksmith.
Turns out if Lego have a weak background story, why something is missing, makes it ok?! Good thing you have complete houses that can be opened, not only a backdrop.
I have heard a couple people talk about the two children. Am so crazy or is there just one?
The lady with blond hair is the sister to the boy with the cap😁
Is it me or does the designer doesnt look happy? The set looks great. But i really dont like all the hinges, why not build like the blacksmith set? Easier to use in mocs. And we get 4 animals? For a medieval village that is low... the figs are awesome, i like it. New medieval peasants is always a big 10. I will buy it day one. But i think i will change a lot, its going to be a falcon village :D
I have had bigger hopes to be honest. The set looks rather disappointing to me. I would still consider buying it if not all those stickers...
fully agree, the idiots at stickers cant understand that we DONT want stickers
sucks about the stickers
eeehh, I'm really not that big on this set. The lack of animals is very noticable and the stickers are just awful. Also, it's just not my taste. When I see this I'm not thinking "Oh my gosh, I want this set now, it looks so cool" like I was with the Lion knight's castle, but that "It's just a few peasant houses with mid figs at best".
One thing I appreciate is the inclusion of the wolfpack guy.
Deep lore, and yet poor design. Rooms with no doors/stairs. Two halves of the tower building that fold in having mismatched half-rooms fit together, while in the Lion Castle each half room has its true match in the opposite half. Stickers everywhere. This is not an 18+ set, com'on. Shall we also say that a couple of those sand-colour roofs on the cheesmaker/carpenter building are just plain and unfitting?
This set has some interersting features and i like the turret tower... but in conclusion I think instead of some random excuse why they didnt include the cow and some random lore the designer dude should have focused more on better set design..the proportions and detailing of the buildings, the execution of the roof and weird color scheme of the blood red walls turn this set definitely down for me... this is neither a 18+ set nor is 230 dollars worth.. gonna wait until this is on sale... had high expectations... what a disappointment
God the danes annoy me. Great set however I'm sure a Colombian or a Kiwi would of made an even better one. Too much credit is given to these muppet danish designers.
Well maybe the Colombians or Kiwis should’ve created the concept of Lego to begin with…🤔
