![]() The level of design and print standards is high again here. On the back of the torso you’ll see the apron straps, the attention to detail always fascinates me. He’s sporting a rather fetching leather apron which continues on his legs. ![]() The blacksmith’s alternate face is him concentrating at the job in hand, most likely crafting a sword or piece of armour. You’ll also notice a smaller bag that holds a few 16×16 baseplates, these will eventually be the base for each floor. Slice open the tabs at one end and carefully slide out all 14 bags, which is quite reasonable for a set of this size. I’m a big fan of this colour scheme for the boxes and it gives it a more Adult feel and the sense of ‘Collectable’ about it. Continuing the trend of the new 18+ Adults Welcome line we get a black box with the finished set off to the right and the usual details on the left. The LEGO Ideas Medieval Blacksmith (21325) is one of these sets that grabs you right from the get go, with the box art being the first thing you see once the set is in your hands. We also uploaded a show & tell review video to our Youtube: Starting off with a bag by bag account of the Blacksmith building followed by the side build before finishing with the Minifigures, enjoy, and don’t forget to drop us a comment with your thoughts, and did you know if you register you can leave your own mini review and rating right here on this page, give it a go! Now onto the main event and why you’re really here, the review. Having that time together and building a set of this size, or bigger, is wonderful and makes for life long memories. She has never been into LEGO and does give me grief, in jest of course, when a new package turns up or I bring home a new set or two from the supermarket, but yet she shows interest in modular buildings and loves to get involved. The set was very enjoyable to put together and was made even more special with help from my Wife. After a few days of waiting my package turned up, in pristine condition as always, and put together a quick order unboxing Instagram Reel – I know, I’m slightly addicted to this new fad and genuinely do enjoy making them! I placed my order later than I usually would as LEGO had released details of a special Amelia Earhart Tribute GWP and wanted to time my purchase with this. I’ll be honest and say that I don’t like how this is done but also realise it can’t really be accomplished any other way. ![]() Waiting up to purchase LEGO sets from their online store has now become a way of life and to secure your copy before the dreaded ‘on back order’ notice appears. ![]() With the added rumours surrounding the Summer release of a LEGO Medieval Castle has really spiked my interest and will no doubt rush out and grab that too! I have no idea how I became so fascinated in this side of LEGO but I’m sure glad I find it and in turn have this new LEGO Ideas Medieval Blacksmith set, better late than never they say. ![]() I missed out on the golden era of LEGO including the Castle and Knights themes which is an utter shame and, looking back, would of been so cool to own and play with! Love the opening/closing playset design and am happy that it comes with 3 proper figures, 1 skeleton, and a very cool buildable dragon (my kids especially love the dragon!) Looks great next to my medieval blacksmith set, though the blacksmith build is noticeably more detailed.When I first heard about this set I was super excited for it as I have only just, relatively speaking, got back into LEGO since becoming a fan when I was younger.īorn in the mid 80s the only LEGO I remember owning or playing with as a child was at my Grandparents house, every Saturday when I would go and visit them. Super fun build with nothing too complicated. From the moss stones at the base by the water to the blacksmith wheel to the arrow slits, incredibly fun and creative! Take a bow LEGO, well done!Īfter a long wait, finally, a proper classic castle set. The design and attention to detail were incredible. The dragon, wishing well, vegetables, and skeleton are incredible small touches he loves! It’s more sturdy than similarly priced sets so it doesn’t fall apart a lot.īuilding this with my son was a blast! I’m totally impressed after comparing this castle to other castles I built when I was a kid. This set is amazing! It took me about 4 hours in total to put together with my four-year-old. ![]()
