Wow, I do hope this becomes a set, but what's the price tag? I'm guessing $300 or more. That's crazy, but if they add a goat, people will be at it (knowing how much they are worth).

Set has been been [url=https://www.brothers-brick.com/2021/01/19/fi ... mith-news/]unveiled over on TBB[/url].

Black falcons make a return. Likely going to be a day 1 purchase for me, but maybe not. Does seem a bit pricey for the size of set, but it does have over 2100 parts. And it is very pretty.

And a new colour for a horse!!!!!!!!! That's more exciting to me than the Black Falcons.

Well been a bit since I got an ideas set but I a really excited about this. Those Black Falcons looks so amazing. Looks like we might get 3 shields and can't complain about more of those great new swords.

I think it is 4 shields, hopefully this means that LEGO is gaging intrest in castle!

This set definitely looks nice, but I'm not sure I can justify $150 for yet another blacksmith... I'd also like to see a lot more minifigs than 4 for a $150 set, having more like 10 minifigs might have made it an easier buy. Gone are the days when I would have probably bought 4 of these (to get a decent number of the figs, and hey, you know it's going to be a good parts pack).

This will likely be one of my first Lego purchases over 20 dollars in a long, long time.
Black Falcons are one of my favorite factions, and funnily enough I think this will be my first blacksmith.

I missed out on the Fan-Designed blacksmith back in the early 00's, so this one is a must-get for me. Yeah, I have the smaller blacksmith sets, but this one stands out. The fact that my favorite faction, The Black Falcons, are featured is icing on the cake.

I ordered a set via Lego, and I'm trying to be patient for its arrival.

Hey,

I'm late to the party, but no one posted pics, so here you go. It's [url=https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/medieval-blacksmith-21325]now available[/url] for $150. Nice looking set. Good parts and figs. I like that tree. Light-up element for the forge. Levels lift off to access the interior. Black Falcons! Nice use of those Nexo tiles as roof shingles.

The set has been a complete joy to build. I've learned new methods of putting buildings together going through the process, and I'm actually dragging out completing the build because it honestly reminds me of putting the Kings Mountain Fortress or some of the Forestmen builds together. Just something fun to tinker with after work I guess.

The low-key best part is that the Black Falcons and their cart are the last bag to build, saving the best for last.

Just picked it up today. I was hesitant to do so as it's $150..... But then again there was a lack of Castle sets for a long time........ So while visiting the Lego store with my wife (best to include her in the purchase :D ) I talked her into it. I was able to score a 10% discount (Downtown Disney as a Legacy Disneyland Passholder) and then a bonus - the Vintage car (before grabbing the Blacksmith set I chatted with the manager a bit - about everything lego... and mentioned that I got skunked when I placed my order back in January - as I was paying for my set he came out and dropped into my purchase bag another bag with a set inside and said: you'll definitely be happy).
