I guess because there's no must-have highly appealing GWP given with it right now. My guess is that people are trying to pay off their credit cards from Christmas! Moreover, the Lego shop near me indicated a few days back that it's been very slow in the store since mid-Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pending - Apparently there was some "note" on my account. He wouldn't say other than to say that there isn't a problem with adding the gwp to my orders or with my payment. But he put me on a long hold, and then came back to say that the department he needs to have a meeting with (regarding me) isn't available (they are working from home), but he will call me back (or email me) after they have their meeting. Maybe I am the millionth lego.com customer, and I am going to win a prize, or maybe something less shall we say beneficial is at hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leviticus Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I did not receive chocolate box with my orders. So did anyone get the chocolate box shipped with order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 What do you mean "fake LEGO"? Is Pepsi just "fake Coke"?More specifically, please stay on topic to discussions of this particular sets. You’re welcome to make a thread about those other sets. As long as they are legally produced. We do have a MegaBloks thread. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Licker Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 So, about that LEGO Ideas Blacksmith set...I'm in the middle of the build with my girlfriend and it's a fun set. I may not have the discerning taste as some here but I'm enjoying it. It's the closest I've come to old school castle as I've had quite the LEGO hiatus since my original castle and Robin Hood sets from the 80s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you set aside expectations based on the original Ideas submission and take it for what it is, its a really lovely set with excellent detail and interesting building techniques. It reminds me of the Old Fishing Store in terms of quality of detail. Only my 2nd "day 1 buy", and well worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Let’s please keep the discussion to the Blacksmith. Any more discussion about the German stuff should be in to the German thread. I don’t have time to deal with this right now, so if we continue off topic I’ll just lock the thread. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyskr28 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 As a MOC fan I was a bit disappointed when they announced this set, but the more I see of this set the more I like it as an afol. I'm really interested in getting it to build along with my kid. It would be great fun for the two of us, and hey, maybe it will help get the next generation interested in the theme 😁 I saw a moc that would go great with this, an updated version of the classic Armor shop If there is truly a 3-in-1 castle set coming this summer that would be a day 1 for me. The various castle themes are the most nostalgia grabbing of all and I like the quality of the updates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we got the 3-in-1 Pirate Ship. I would accept a year rotation of the classic themes as 3-in-1s as a good enough bone to throw at old time AFOLs. As for this set, it continues to grow on me. I really like the look of it, and I think I'll be picking this up. Could fit into a Winter Village, with the right changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't quite take me back to my old-school king's castle days, but it's a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
