LEGO Mountain Fortress REVIEW | Series 1 BDP Set

Good Review. Off topic, how difficult is it to buy individual lego pieces to build a lego set that has retired.

Winterfell and kings landing

It's a bit sad when so many features from existing sets are copied in these newer Bricklink designer sets. For the price I'd expect a bit more original quality

Is this set now available on bricklink?

How does one preorder these?

PLEASE DO A REVIEW OF THE BDP 3 FOREST STRONGHOLD!

I hate that they made this a temporary thing, it's the only cool castle they've made in years, if it was still out, I would buy it, so that's a few extra hundred they lost out on from just one person, and I'm sure there are thousands more.

shame that the flag has shit colours

If my hobby room wasn't already filled with board games, I would consider starting with Lego

People that keep sets sealed are not good people.

I really want to get my hands on one of these...

How tf do you buy them tho, I can’t find out anywhere

I’m interested in both this set and lion knights, but I can’t justify buying both this year. There’s a sealed mountain fortress near me for 500$, which will only increase In price the longer I wait, while the lion knights set retires at the end of this year. May end up just having to flip a coin because I can’t decide

I have built this set - also have lion knights castle. Excellent building experience through the app. Given no manual would have liked several more minifigs. However, it is stunning and i would say that whilst the lion knight interior is better, i never see it when its on my shelf so the exterior is more important than the interior imo. I appreciate the proper sized crenilations and working murderholes, feels like a more realistic castle design than other lego castles. It also has major black knights castle vibes in its towers that i really enjoy. The interior is still fairly detailed but could do with some sprucing up (5-10 extra minifigs would have helped) but leaving an open wall in the top bedroom feels unaaceptable and i may need to alter it. That is probably the only glaring issue i had with the set, otherwise a fantastic display piece.

I got the set for 325 euro’s

Just receive today...after a few month waiting.....

Just got my 2 in the mail this week!

I also have a LEGO Mountain Fortress but it is a lot smaller and with trolls/orcs.

I have two of them and Iam very happy❤

mine will be here in 2 days! and i got an extra...sooooooo excited

Had to come back to this as I don't want to open my set. Seems that I got it less than five (5) months. Pretty good.

The sensible detail sleeplessnight worked out with the snow patterns is perfection! It's like a painting. Unfocuseing the castle (with your eyes for example) highlights the snows organic forms.

god i wish wasn't $570 AUD

Extremely disappointed at how there’s no cool minifigurine let alone a horse covering. A simple saddle for a brown horse? Are you kidding me? Also the open backside of the mountain fortress was very bland and that’s where it shows class difference between legit lego engineers and fan made product.

When I was a kid, legos were toys.

Now, it's investment. Sad.

That there is the best winter village set I’ve ever seen.

Kings are cancelled. Who actually believe middle-age was full of fighting queens ?

Ukrainian flag? I too am a fan of sending all our tax dollars over seas!

They dont charge the $380 until they ship it 🤙

Remove the Ukrainian flag 😡

He look like arman sarukian
(Ufc fighter)

How are they gonna sell the ones that people put a pre order on but don't pay on the release date, is there a waitlist?

ITS INSANE TO ME THATS THIS NEW "CASTLES" HAVE QUEENS AND NOT KINGS, THATS STUPID

IM 2 MONTHS LATE 😢 FUCK!

Would be really cool if it didn't sell out to stupid scalpers. Don't buy from scalpers people.

So sad I missed this, but lesson learned.

Can't find this on Lego website. Did it not get released when you thought it would? Thanks!

Well great thing im hearing about it now ffs.

Kills me that these sets are so limited in their runs. This set sold out in mere hours before I had a chance to get an order in. Best I'm going to be able to do is wait till the instructions are available online and just buy all the pieces separately - hopefully the cost will be comparable to the original price and not whatever audacity the second-hand market will be asking for.

I think a big mistake they're making with all their new castles is having them all be so boxy and all light gray. Round towers really adds interest. I think ANY color other than typical light gray is more interesting... Tan... The classic yellow... White would be nice. Red or reddish brown would be awesome. I never cared for the gray and black... Light blue would be wild.

thing is. do you actually care about the values? you seem set. lego sends you free sets, you have a what seems to be successful channel..

fuck it, build the lego store lol.

Stunning display piece and I love how different it looks in the different configurations. However, along with the price, the lacking interior made me skip the preorder. Great video again!

Why isnt there a king in any of the new medival sets

Could you boy and show the imperial new ship at bricklink

Is it worth 400 dollars god no. This is a rip off. No lego set is worth more then 200 dollars.

This might be the best castle lego made

I think we are in another golden era of Lego castle since around 2022/23, a renaissance even, considering Pick a Brick: The Lion's Castle, the Blacksmith, the Viking Village, the Medieval Town Square, the Black Falcons Castle on Bricklink (and soon to come the Black Falcon’s Siege Battle Pack) are all absolutely amazing and perfect Lego Sets. The downers being their size related prizeing, their at times limited availablity and the lack of smaller and more affordable regular sets and lines.

Yet still THE greatest addition, is the selection of available theme related parts and minifigures on Pick a Brick: plenty of beautiful shields (mostly descending from the Lions Kights Castle) and torsos/legs, both in perfectly updated and beautiful new designs, weapons, armor, many other great small parts and items, and a never seen before abundance of animals, of which many are closely related to the middle-age time periode like the horses (at times a variety of 3!), sheep, cows, pigs, goats, chicken, etc.

Pick a Brick alone allows to create and customize a plentyfull world, even massive armies, for relatively cheap, which I did.

Good objective review. Thanks

No offense to all of you who paid full price and managed to get this set within 3 hours, but I hope this ends up on Aliexpress.
