    It’s not clickbait. He built a castle out of 10 of the recent Castle. You can sit inside of it.

    Except now they're going to get discounted to $20 instead of $16. I might cave and buy them all some double points weekend, or I might wait until they're discounted to the 'normal' $20.

    Indeed they did!

    I voted for Dragon's Keep since I felt it best represented a minifigure scale playset that could fit in very well with Castle and Kingdom sets. Looking forward to seeing the final product from LEGO!

    You and me both.
    Same here. The only D&D things I want this year are the Beholder and Owlbear Dicelings from the new movie. The Castle fan in me is happy that this set will exist officially.

    I would love some Chromatic and Colored Dragon sets. Tiamat would be very welcome too.

    So I joined an Amazon program at the end of October last year and managed to get these off brand sets for "free". These are most of them, I think I've ordered over 20 total so far. One is unbuilt, a few were built and then disassembled for the parts, lack of space, or lack of interest in the build.

    Anyways, on topic with actual Lego, the program actually offers Lego brands. Unfortunately, I don't have access to those yet due to only being silver tier. From what I saw of old posts, there were sets from Avengers (Quinjet), Friends (not the show), some racing ones, and the Avatar movie. Looking forward to gold tier to have access to those.

    Same here but apparently Dragon's Keep is a one-and-done deal for LEGO Ideas. The announcer for the winner did seem to confirm in the comments that there are no plans for additional sets for a completely new theme for the D&D brand in LEGO, sadly.

    That sucks. Guess I'll keep my fingers crossed that Ninjago keeps releasing them.

    There is a microfigure in his torso with a little opening door to see him. Unfortunately I couldn't find a good way to make a whole torso block that could separate, but at least you can see the little scaled guy in there

    I like the D&D set. I don't play D&D, so this will fit in my collection as a Castle set and nothing else.

    Speaking of Castle, I finished building the 90th Anniversary Castle. Beautiful set with lots of neat techniques and features. Once it was done, I felt it could've used a dragon, but D&D seems like it'll have that covered.
    Overall though, If I was to recommend any 90th Anniversary sets, it'd be the Galaxy Explorer. Cheaper and looks just as good. Castle's still great and if anyone was planning on getting it, it's definitely worth it.

    **sigh**

    I tried to hold my ground but man I really wanted that Blacktron set. $250 Canadian is a lot for it but at least I’m getting a Tallneck, Tie Bomber and 4 Clone trooper command stations as a GWP with it :cool:

    whenever there is a GWP I want but don't want to spend the threshold to meet, I just get it by itself on ebay, Mercari, Bricklink, etc.
