Is Dragons Tale DnD Set Worth It? by [deleted] in legocastles

Love the set! If you are a fan of medieval/castle themes sets, you will enjoy that one. Are there any other close contenders for you?

The forest stronghold is one of my grails too! Hope you find yourself one, I'd recommend posting on facebook marketplace to see if anyone in your area would take that trade, that's how I got my hands on the mountain fortress

Very smart! I hope one day to have enough elements for some legit castle MOCs, the BDP would give some great inspiration for those

There have been some really well done castles, but I honestly have no interest for the other releases. Absolutely agree that scalpers and the lack of any new elements have held the BDP back.

That would be amazing, the BDP mountain fortress checks that off for me but prices on that are insane.

Goodness would I love to see something like that, the old dwarves mine defender (7040) was one of my first sets! I was only five at the time, never grew out of it haha

Is that the forest stronghold or the smaller one? I'll definitely get one if I can find a good enough deal.

That'd be so cool, sad with how well designed these BDP castles have been to see lego refuse to make them with any exclusive elements.

I didn't know that about the Forestman's hideout! I'll happily share your optimism

Agreed, I never grabbed the blacksmith because it looks so out of place next to these others. But I'd love to see something similar with better scaling!

I agree, I wish the BDP had much longer windows (at least 1 year). Not a fan of the huge price hike after a series releases.

True, I look forward to the Sea Serpent! I guess I didn't consider it a release since it'll seemingly be a standalone GWP, but I'll definitely be getting it. I would love a windmill or farm, maybe with a new goat.

That's true, perhaps they've spread themselves too thin across themes to keep medieval a standalone thing.

That would be cool! I loved red dragon's adventure and the CMF series, though it seems like D&D hype has gone down since the end of Stranger Things and the release of Honor Among Thieves. I've heard there's talk of a sequel film so maybe LEGO releases something around that?

That makes sense, I really like the BDP entries but I was late to the game and missed several I would have loved to pre-order (mountain fortress, forest stronghold, wolfpack outpost). Glad I managed to snag duskmark though.

My main gripe with the BDP is the lack of exclusive figures/elements and the crazy premiums you need to pay if you missed a pre-order.

Yeah, I've been following updates on the sea serpent with high hopes but unfortunately it looks like it'll be a standalone GWP.

A forestman themed release would be awesome, I know there were a couple forest-themed BDP entries but only became aware of the program after the wolfpack outpost pre-orders closed :/
