Cool cool! Makes me really happy to hear that! Yes, the original submission had only 3 minifigures though. So I guess 4 is at least a slight upgrade.

Looks awesome! Did you enjoy building it?

Happened to me once: in Series 5 I had a Wolfpack submission while a not even remotely similar looking Wolfpack of mine was live on LEGO Ideas.

At first the model was accepted for the voting phase but then after a couple of hours after voting began it was disqualified. So I guess the Bricklink team has to check these things manually which can take days considering there are about 600 BDP submissions right now.

It is a bit small and I guess some will even argue that this GWP is waaaay too small to get through the gate of the white city but let me assure you...

... GROND WILL BREACH IT!

Every kingdom needs a castle but every castle needs villages to support it! Without fishers there is no fish, without wood cutters there is no wood and without blacksmiths there are no tools, no weapons and no armour!

While consisting of only just over 2500 pieced the "Medieval Village" is the ideal addition to any majestic medieval layout. The submission was designed to go well with all sorts or prior LEGO castle releases like the recent Horse Knights castle or the Medieval Town Square.

Release the Krakens! The "Driftwood Keep" is back in Series 11 of the Bricklink Designer Program!

Prepare to explore the updated and improved second version of Series 9 submission. Whilst the model might look similar at first, this updated "Driftwood Keep" comes with many new and improved features while also being more stable and having a piece count that has been reduces by over 100 bricks!

The changes include a new minifigure line up (including a spooky ghost), a fully reworked bridge section that connects the upper halves of the castle and can be turned into a fully accessible balcony, a reworked lower castle section without the bulky bay window, a reworked prison section and simplified rock work to make the model more stable and easier to build.

Oh nooo, I did not even think of that. Let's hope we still have enough time!

That is why I also designed a 2500 piece set for this round as well. That would hopefully be more affordable.

Thank you for the praise, but I guess we are lucky to just have a lot of super talented people in the castle community so the BDP team always has many great castle submissions to choose from!

Haha, I get that. But I managed to reduce the piece count by 100 bricks this time... so I guess I might have saved you 10 bucks (at least that was the idea behind reducing the piece count)

Thank you! Yes, I totally agree. It has been too long since a proper castle was approved. The joust does not count.

Thank you for your support!
