Between this, the mario sets, and the marvel sets, August is going to be really expensive

Love this set. Will be a great birthday present for my oldest son. The castle looks great, and the tower build is the giant cherry on top.

Castles are pretty much the only thing I keep on permanent display (such as Vader's Castle, Disney Castle, and Tower of Orthanc). Not long ago, son was asking about why I liked the castles so much so I googled some Lego medieval sets from my childhood for him. Pure nostalgia just thinking about those old sets.

I been wanting a new set like this since I left the dark ages. Pretty good chance I'll buy three so I can set up all the models at once. It'll go nicely next to the 31109 pirate ship. Might even break my rule about buying a creator set at full price. Might...

Here is a Grand Version that only takes 2 copies and looks more proper.

Interesting write up especially how the base of the build 2 of 3 doesn’t work as that was my plan. I guess 1 set is tiny when you look at his MOD 2 set version compared to Disney Castle.

To me it's pretty obvious.

Alright, I’m beating a dead horse here..

I got my personal trifecta now. My first and only LEGO set as a kid, the LEGO set I always wanted as a kid, and the set I’ve been waiting years for as an adult.

Yasss!

I grabbed 2 with a La Catrina to get the boat. Will be building this one upon arrival.

I’m curious to see the Blacksmith side by side with castle. To see if they compliment each other for display purposes.

Sold out at my store. But they had plenty of T2 that no one was even looking at.

My Walmart had 3 or 4 Castles on the shelf.

I finished bag 6 of 7 still not sure what I will do next with my second set either the tower build or this MOC from rebrickable that uses 2 sets and has 250 pieces left.  I think this set should have 2 more black night minifigs with beefed up armour and a mace, perhaps a horse as well. 3 Minifigures for $100 is kinda weak especially since 1 is just a blacksmith.  70404 also $100 back in 2013 had 7 Minifigures better armour and weapons and also had a horse. I just think if you are giving this as a playset 3 figs is not enough. No issues with the build it is pretty straightforward and no stickers is always a bonus.

I was thinking of building that MOC... I have two in the personal collection... Also I was thinking that, since there are so many castles around these days, that maybe our city should just be a city full of castles!

The tower looks good but it doesn’t attach in a great looking way.

I've not followed Lego Castles very closely.  What is the anticipated impact (short and long term) to the value of this set with the upcoming 90th anniversary Castle?

History has proven not much can impact the Castle theme.
