F.O. is really doing a great job. There sets improving fast. And look awesome like this set. A think a leiding brand has found a true competitor

When is part 3 coming out?

Haven't purchased this set (and if I still had storage space I might ... I quite like what this company is putting out). However, not a huge fan of light kits, and no Minifigs is killings this for me (and I don't much care for the ... non LEGO minifigs - they just look SAD). What I will do however, is learn from the designs used here. It's a really good built. and it's really REALLY sad that a company can do what LEGO refuses to do (and they are doing it cheaper with an added benefit - the light kit). Honestly this just goes to show that LEGO could keep the prices as are now and even make "only prints" in sets (there are other sets from this company with no stickers and they are still reasonably priced) without crying that they cost too much to do.

I Will admit that I do and have a very good amount of medieval army's that are fake Legos but it's honestly worth it sometimes cuz it's like perfect for building up army's

i would definitely swap the boring Dynaheir with Edwin/Edwina; one soldier character would be enough, so I would swap the amnish soldier with a xvart or hobgoblin. I would pick Kevan over Coran, he would be more useful for army building, I would skip Branwyn for Viconia for sure and that barmaid chick with basically anyone from the original game, for example Kagain the dwarf with his winged helmet

great to see these references to the old and new BG games 👍give us Viconia, Minsc & BOO 🐹 or at least generic figures so we can recreate our favorites from the video games 😃

Thanks for your honest review. I would not consider buying this set because of the flaws mentioned, but will take a closer look at their Forge House Set which uses updated techniques.

Guy is just ripping this Chinese Developer to shreds hahaha

The most recent sets feature contact lighting for removable floors and modified bricks to route wiring instead of between plates. Highly recommend revisiting this brand with these updates. The instructions and build quality are on par with Lego but the much improved lighting design is a revelation imo. The minifigs are disposable, but everything else is surprisingly good.

Lord soth dagonlance with molded helmet!!!

What i'd do for a lord soth minifigure. Not just a printed head, or the cloth wrapped head, but a brand new dragonlance version molded soth helmet. Man that looked so badass. I have the funko pop on my shelf, and i absolutely love it. Cmon lego, keep the dnd stuff coming.

Useful review. I generally dislike lighting in a build as the wires are generally not factored into the design from the start. Wires on view or preventing access feels counterproductive to an enjoyable set. This is somewhat understandable in LEGO sets where the lighting is aftermarket but as a product designed with the lighting in mind it’s just lazy design. Good luck with the channel.

Uhm ... Amazon sells FO sets.

They continue to improve. In the apothecary shop, which I have, the wiring is great, more flat, hidden, and even colored to be closer to the bricks. The roof rests on the structure without hinges. I think their older models like this have more flaws. I love this company and will continue to support them due to their continuous improvements efforts and doing their own thing with copying lego. Thanks for the honest review!

Haven't purchased this set yet but am eyeing it. I'm always open to Lego competitors and spend more time and money on them than Lego now since the quality and designs have gotten so good, and the prices are often just a fraction of Lego's slap-in-the-face prices.

Good,review, the first I’ve seen that goes into detail on the build, wiring and internal layout. Most (but not all) of the F.O reviews seem very shill, yours does not. Thank you.

Do we know which designer the design was likely stolen from?

awesome set! can anyone explain how companies like this can exist? so many of the pieces are exactly the same as LEGO's. you'd think Lego would shut it down any time someone else ripped off their designs. thoughts?

Its available on Amazon with free prime shipping in the USA. Not sure about CA. I keep looking at the Apothecary building to place with my Blacksmith. At $64 on sale its been very tempting.

A printed mushroom😮

That would be nice!

I really like this set

Very cool video!

Warehouse storage solution ....

Viconia is obviously an instant inclusion - need suitable Drow heads. Heyya, its me Imoen - to lock in a thief minifig Saravok - heavily armoured warrior Edwin - Mage Jaheira - Need more Elf/Half-Elf Jan Jansen - would add more height diversity and would have some interesting accessories incl a turnip lol Korgan Bloodaxe or any generic heavily armoured Dwarf. Dorn Yuan-ti Doom guard Kobold Duergar

Awsome

Honestly I was surprised drizzt wasn’t in the first wave of lego d&d cmf

I like the smooth transition from the Lae'zel minifigure to the BG III logo :). There's also an Astarion hiding in the current series, based on the elf bard. I was a bit miffed that Zass Tam came with the bare chest / rib cage torso print, otherwise he's have made a great army builder for Red Wizards, including one Edwin Odesseiron. I always feel Drizzt is a bit overhyped and would replace him with either a generic drow (with both female/male head) or a drow priestess, preferably Viconia de'Vir (who is present in all three BGs). Also, Drizzt should probably come with Guenhwyvar, and a full sized panther figurine wouldn't fit the budget. As for future DnD sets, I'd love to see more buildable monsters similar to what's included with the big set. Each could come with a couple fitting minifigures, which could be heroes, NPCs or humanoid enemies. E.g. a dragon and a bunch of kobolds; a demon and imps; a drider and drow warriors; an orc warband including an ogre or troll. These should come out to a reasonable price, comparable to the Harry Potter Aragog set that's currently on the market.

I think you are on a wrong track if you assume if we see furthe DnD stuff it will have anything to do with BG. Seems like the minifigure series goes well enough. No doubt we get a second wave. But some playset type sets would be needed. The big one is was overpriced for general audiences

I'd be happier if we had D&D Battlepacks. Not one orc, or one gnoll, or one elf, and so on, but a whole bunch of them, each slightly different from the others.

I’m going to have to get myself a little Lego set lol

JUST USE A BEARD!!!!!!! A long beard peice covers the zaz tan’s skeletal printing perfectly. And if you’re going to use it for a wizard it would have a beard anyways. I would recommend that over melting anymore Lego pieces! Sorry that happened though. Plus, erasers work as well. Pink erasers to erase printing. I’ve use that on some ninjago shields myself.

Awesome stuff! Cant believe how much ktown costs lol!

Fantastic video. Looking forward to more!

bro im a new subscriber can you do a medieval army building video🤩🤩

This was such a great series, especially for customization! I used a long beard to cover the szazz tam print in my recent video if your curious about a work around :)

I also don't get why they add those plates to the horses although they cannot stick to them. I'm still happy they do though, since it makes it easier to differentiate between the different knockoff brands when ordering, as the quality of the different brands varies a lot. The horses with the useless plates are by Koruit, which in my opinion is the third party brand with the best quality. It's even better than LEGO's quality, because Koruit puts the sprue marks on the inside of the horse's legs, while LEGO's sprue marks are visible on the ankles. Also Koruit prints the horse's head from the front and wraps the print around the head, while LEGO prints the heads separately from both sides which leads to the print misaligning on the forehead. The horses with the regular plates are by XINH. As far as I know, they have more variety when it comes to the different horses and bardings they produce, but the plastic is not as high quality as Koruit's because XINH does not have that matte finish and they also print the heads like LEGO does.

Btw you can get a lot of these figures and mints for cheaper from Chinese Lego websites usually around a dollar per figure and 1.50-2 dollars per horse

Nice editing and hauls!

There is no value buying fake bricks.

Awesome video thanks for the info I think I'm gonna try to pick some up soon!

if im trying to army build real legos it would cost me hundreds of dollars but if i bought them off of alliexpress it would only cost me 70 for a large army

Does the bardings fit onto real lego horses?

I recently got some of the two toned spears off Etsy that were off-brand, and the quality is indistinguishable from official LEGO. I'm really tempted to get one of the Raven Knight barding, it looks so good.

Personally I'd say it's a waste of money buying fake Lego. It's essentially throwing it away. At least with an official Lego horse, you may buy it for $6 and find that if you don't want it in future, you can sell it for maybe $3. Likewise you can buy a preowned horse for 3 or 4, and sell that in time for a similar amount, or more if it ever goes vintage. When buying fake Lego, it will never have resale value, and if it does, you're looking at pennies in comparison. If you buy with the intent never to sell it, and it's purely personal and fun, then sure, but if in time, as your budget increases and you want genuine parts, eventually you'll find that the $30 you originally spent on fake lego, in time you could have saved up the extra 20 to buy the genuine parts in the first place. Granted if you're getting super premium rare high value fakes, then that can be fair enough, and some of these fakes are also so unique for prints etc, but then at that point when army building Lego, is it even the same Lego when it uses 3rd party elements?

I buy often these alternate brands, as simply in Chile there aren't even open bricklink shops (currently), and buying abroad often means sending the package may cost as much as the package... Meanwhile, often aliexpress is free shipping. I often feel bad thought, because these designs of prints and customs are of artists and people who got their designs stolen.

Would like to see more lego vs fake to see the difference in color and print

Very interesting.

Great video!

Some people actually have alrighty made a custom Lego Wargame called Brikwars. I don’t hear that many people talk about it but I been meaning to try it out my self sense it looks fun
