“I hope the blacksmith takes his time”Ī nice printed sign hangs over the forge and there’s an anvil nearby, all elements to remind the distracted traveller that this is not a bakery but a blacksmith. I must admit that looking at the front of the building through the branches is relaxing and fascinating, it makes me want to be projected in to this reality. The tree is an apple tree, a bit twisted and noticeably smaller compared to the one in the IDEAS proposal. Perhaps LEGO should have used some yellow and orange leaves on the tree? Look at those details! The house is completely closed and you can see the interiors by looking through the windows or by removing the floors, just like in the modular line.Ī lot of details surround the building, like some delicious pumpkins, which made me think it should be autumn. To access the interiors of the bedrooms you can remove the two sides of the roof which cleverly interlock. The attic is connected with the dining room through a staircase, nothing is left to chance. Small LED behind the flames in the fireplace “uhm, maybe i have to wash it” The bedroom is in the attic and has a nicely designed bearskin rug and a small writing desk in front of the smallest window of the house. I blowed some mist to simulate the direct smoke from the fireplace They look a bit over-dimensioned for the blacksmith and his wife, but maybe they want to sit comfortably. The dining room has a couple of well designed, huge, colorful chairs. The forge has an anvil in the middle of the room and, showcased all around the walls, the work of the artisan, like some armours and a black falcon shield hanging up. Every single floor is spacy and filled with details. The house has three complete floors: the forge, the dining room and the bedroom. If you have a scarcity of space, you could remove two rounded plates, the one with the tree and the other with the anvil, and the two cusps on the roof to make it smaller. The whole set is 27cm (10.5 in) wide, 27cm (10.5 in) high and 21cm (8 in) deep. The complete building stands on an irregular base which is a perfect choice to make it more dynamic. Pushing the bellows will result in the activation of the forge Here i’ve placed some LEDs inside for that bokeh effect The set comes with a red light brick to simulate the fire of the forge, cleverly activated by pushing the bellows on the side. I would have preferred to complete the whole house, then face the tree which I found a bit annoying. That, for me, was a moment that created a break in the flow. Or at least until you reach the bag number 5, the tree. You want more and it’s impossible to stop until you have finished. While building the set you can already see a lot of adventures taking shape. There are only two figures with a double print on the head, the blacksmith and his wife. Two of the minifigures are clearly Black Falcons with an updated torso to make it more modern but their coat-of-arms still recalls those vintage days. The blacksmith has a new printed torso while his wife shares the print with Robin Loot from Barracuda Bay. It can be detached from the wagon and the set includes a 1×2 brick and tile to complete it. This new set contains 2164 pieces, 4 minifigs, a not-a-husky-but-probably-a-wolf dog, a horse in a brand new color and not a single sticker! Of course at the brand new LEGO set 21325: Medieval Blacksmith! The building experience Nowadays we live with the memories of past battles.īut the time has come to regain the kingdom! Once upon a time, there were castles everywhere.
