Feel free to ignore the fact that I might not have used the required number of minifigures in my build 😅

[@pinobluevogel6458]

I think it was a maximum number of minifigures, from what I think I heared during the group call. Besides, the dragon probably ate a few as well.

[@Goldfyre]

Your orc army turned out so good! I really need to buy that chima big fig for mine.

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! Yeah you definitely should. It's great!

This turned out so well! I especially love the inclusion of the Ninjago dragon for the vampire knights. Glad we were able to hook you up with some awesome figs 😊

Thanks man! Couldn't have done all this without BAM, that's for sure haha

[@WillWaters-p1t]

Thank you for the Huck-up, most appreciated ❤️

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Seriously a fun challenge between the 3 of you. Out of all the designs, I think yours was the most clean and the most professional. You also managed a more uniform look for the armies, while still keeping very individualized minifigs and some of them were really good. The castle wall was also way more polished and even the groundwork, while basic, just had a more realistic look which I like. For all those things, I think you won the challenge, despite cutting some corners like adding a complete dragon from an existing set, or a tree from the Horizon Zero Dawn set. The stuff that you did fully built for yourself was great though and just a bit better than what the others came up with. Having said that, I think all 3 of you had a superfun video and made excellent armies and mocs. I wish I could have seen a little more of all the extra stuff that Firebird and Sands had made but didn't use. There was so much fun stuff in those armies, probably some good stuff to use in future builds. Thanks for making these videos, I subbed to this channel as well. This wasn't my first Firebird video, but I'm looking forward to some more now.

[@deathllord918]

Wow you put in effort, good for you.

[@kayman1615]

Wow, this was a great collaboration challenge! I love castle and army building so it was very interesting to see how you all built your factions up. Yours is definitely the standout Firebird! Really enjoy your walkthrough of the factions and each have a good consistent structure of leaders, support unit and beast pairing. Plus the minifies were unique with good armour and weapons! Your castle build and and landscaping was also the best! I'd say you win this challenge over Sands and Holly by a fair margin!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks so much! It was a lot of fun and I love how we all took different approaches. Makes it much more interesting!

[@pinobluevogel6458]

I think you clearly and precisely explained what I liked about the armies too. Each have a unique look, but feel like a uniform army. This is something I loved from putting together a Warhammer 40K / Fantasy army and that clearly works well with lego factions too.

[@kunu1990]

Really like the size of the armies you built, seems reasonable and obtainable for casual fans. I always considered 20+ minifigures a decent size force

[@arghjayem]

01:46 Dagger? That’s a sai! Presumably from a ninja turtles minifigure, namely Raphael! 😂

[@cooperchiacchia]

The Tower and wall Moc was great and I loved the variety of Orcs and Dragon knights!

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks! I think those ended up being my favorite factions as well, but they were all fun to make!

[@shannonp7911]

When you said the lioj knight prince didn't have a weapon I was like "Oh, is he going to be a lazy prince that doesn't want to do anything ever."

Great video bro! 🔥 The final castle build looks great especially considering the limited space.

[@firebirdbricks]

Thanks man! I’m happy with it for the amount of time I had to work on it.

[@Necrobytegaming]

A skeleton army would be a nice addition as theyre my favorite faction

[@firebirdbricks]

I was going to include skeletons but I ran out of time, unfortunately... I had the parts ready and everything!

3:43 you could make WAY more figures by using random bodies under the armor like this and use the printed torso with other figure

Orcs are my favorite

[@obi-wankenobi4301]

7:38 That dagger is from Prince of Persia! I only point it out because everyone forgets about that LEGO line 😂 (Unless of course LEGO double dipped, but I’m pretty sure that dagger is the McGuffin from the movie)

[@Pigraider268]

Yes that's where it first appeared just to later become universal dangerous for all Elves in Hobbit sets

[@bricktracytv]

So many great factions! I think the Orcs turned out so great because of the diversity of pieces. Seriously well done.

[@jaydenriemer3970]

Phenomenal video I loved the Dragon leaders, just wanted to point out that the swords you called longswords are arming swords, longswords are two-handed.

I am sooooo lucky that I have a bricks and minifigs pretty close to me which is funny because I live on a island in Canada called Newfoundland!😊 it’s just funny that they would put one there!😊

[@Sesn-nu9tg]

Suggestion for a beast for the back falons, have the specialize in avians, gryphons hypogriff eagles ravons falons, but for a beast there's a mythical beast known as a roc, basically massive as bird of prey maybe you could find something to mimic that, A suggestion for the dragon knights is add 1-2 young dragons that are being trained or bonded with random people Also assassins

[@micahnike18]

This was probably the most unique “I Built ___ in 7 Days” video I’ve seen! I love how you guys incorporated the MOC building aspect to the challenge!

I think you should make the lion the nemean lion from greek mythology. If you Don't know what that is. It's a large lion with an indestructible fur.

[@daystoppol1592]

SO good.

[@JeremiahVohs]

The orks where my favorite

[@BouwerBricks]

Yes! more castle content! :)

[@MadHawkMoody]

Dang. This is gonna be a hard choice. But personally, I think that Holly's moc is the best. Working on a VERY small budget of minifigures and weapons, while also enhancing the fantasy feel really bodes well in her favor. Sands definitely had the best army, and you had the best budget for a large creative project, but I'm gonna have to go with Holly. Also... being in a similar situation with very few castle figs and just now getting into the fandom, really persuades me to choose that moc. I really like to see how creativity is used, especially on such a small scale. The tree was absolutely my favorite part of Holly's whole build. I just... it felt like there was life and it felt very unique to me. It wasn't embellished with a ton of detail like yours and Sands, but it was much simpler. Using existing bricks and really just spending money on minifigure torsos and parts from the minifigure tower really shows that creativity like an average Lego builder (though, I will not assume that Holly is one! She has much more creativity than I do). In the end, everyone did a great job with their mocs, and I learned a lot from everyone's builds. But I nominate Team Holly/Lion Knights as the victors in this contest of the builders! Though, I do have a question for you, Firebird. How on earth do you get that many Black Falcon minifigures in bulk? I'm trying not to spend toooooo much money, but I really want more Black Falcons in my own kingdom that I am working on. I am also working on setting up a stop motion studio for a little project I may or may not be working on, and those suckers are hard to get my hands on. Do you think torsos would be a good start? I'd love to see another medieval contest by the way! If you do, BrickWarriors sells Stain Glass Window pieces online with the crests of other castle kingdoms if you are ever interested in making an interior moc. I'm thinking about getting one for my Black Falcons. Again, great job!

[@firebirdbricks]

Fair take! Glad you enjoyed the videos. Check out Lego.com and go to the pick a brick online section. Search for set 10305 and you will find that you can individually purchase black falcon torsos and legs for pretty cheap! Those Brick Warriors glass window pieces are very tempting. I will probably buy some eventually!

[@pinobluevogel6458]

I can understand choosing Holly's Moc because of the amount of creativity used with very little to work with, it is what I liked about hers too. Restriction tends to build creativity for sure! And indeed you can build Black Falcon, Lion Knight's (with 2 slightly different torsos) and Forestmen minifigures from the Pick a brick online LEGO shop. They cost slightly under 3 dollars (or 3 euros) for a complete figure, which is going to be more if you start equipping them with swords, shield and such. Still, this is probably cheaper than buying them on Bricklink and if you buy enough of them, over 40 dollars (or euros) I believe, you get free shipping included. There are also some of the viking torsos and a bunch of medieval townsfolk things to choose from, quite a wealth for a medieval builder!

[@VestedUTuber]

I think that if I were to built a LEGO castle army, I'd focus on one of the more unusual and obscure castle subthemes - Ninja (NOT Ninjago). For those unfamiliar, Ninja was a castle subtheme focused on Shogunate-era Japan, and yes, it _was_ a castle subtheme. Either that or I'd do something in the style of the canceled Europa theme.
