god that chess set is such a white whale for me but just wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too expensive for me to ever justify buying it

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Same😭😭 he offered to sell it to me but I was like yeah I can’t do that😂

[@BenTheBrickBuilder]

agreed definitely one of my grails, and seeing it in person it was so hard not to buy it

[@thomasgolds4585]

Tax write off for your channel lol

[@coolichka42]

its only around a thousand? just got back into lego this year after 10 years and i plan on picking one up asap

[@coolichka42]

Sike I guess “sealed” is most expensive but I’ll definitely still try and pick up a “used” if I can.

[@BrotherhoodWorkshop]

I'm gonna have to go with "Blizzard Barron." I had that one as a 4 year old, long before LEGO Star Wars was a thing. It was my childhood snowspeeder.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Oh that’s so cool! I definitely can’t wait to build it!

[@BrotherhoodWorkshop]

@@BrickingUpBrad it likely won't be super exciting for you. It's much easier to inspire the imagination of a 4 year old. 😆

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I mean I never expect old sets to be anything crazy😂

[@godfishey]

That chess set has been on my wanted list for about 5 years! Just an amazing piece for the fantasy catsle theme

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Agreed!

[@firebirdbricks]

Enjoy those space sets!! Thanks for picking them up.

[@thomasgolds4585]

Absolutely epic pickup! So jealous of the Giant Castle Chess set! I’ll never forget drooling over it when it was in the LEGO Magazine lol

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I mean I didn’t grab it😂 but it definitely is really cool!

[@deathray021]

Awesome haul Brad! Glad to hear you had fun, and hopefully one day I can meet you at Brickworld!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I hope so too!

[@eldoradopirates]

IMO, Imperial Flagship is best get, followed by Dungeon Hunters and Blizzard Baron. Great to meet you at Brickworld!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Great to meet you there to!

[@TeflonDave]

Beautiful haul! Congrats! You got me with the thumbnail, lol 😆

[@BrickingUpBrad]

😂😂😂

[@CastleBricks]

The Pirate ship and the M-tron vehicle. I would say 🤔 Great video. Thank you for all the work 🙏🏻♥️ Very informative and inspiring 😊 I love your " Talks"-videos

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I appreciate it! Those two were definitely great pick ups!

[@DragonMasterSubo]

That imperial boat is one of my most prized possessions, my grandmother got it for me the year it came out as a Christmas gift and it was the biggest lego I had at the time. Nice haul man!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

That’s so cool!

[@ZathsLegoBuilds]

Great Haul

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Appreciate it!

[@DavidF485]

You can definitely see the influence of the old Ninja sets in modern Ninjago. I actually find Ninjago surprisingly effective for Castle/fantasy material, if you use it right. As for your final question, I can't even say what was the best pickup - they're all so cool. One of the things that most caught my attention was the Knights Kingdom II minifigure. I don't own any of the heroes from that line and really want to; I've found thrm surprisingly hard to track down in Australia.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I wouldn’t say ninjago took a lot of inspiration from ninja. I would more say they took a lot of inspiration from real life Japanese architecture.

[@carriemaxwell4695]

Since you're so well versed in Lego Castle sets and factions, have you given thought to using known factions to build armies for the Harry Potter Founders and Voldemort? And included magical creatures to in a LOTR style epic fight? It's one thing I've noticed about Lego channels, that there isn't much blending. Oh sure there's customization and OC's, but to take classic castle and HP and put them into one? Haven't seen it and would love to. You up for the challenge? I think you could.

[@rio0393]

That's sick I'm jealous

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I am definitely very blessed!

[@samkerr6029]

There are two of those chess sets on Bricklink for 3500-5000$. It cost 200$ when it first released according to Brickset and was probably discounted to 150 at some point.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

The price he was talking about was under the brick link price guide

[@andhe]

Yeah it was an era before AFOLs would regularly spend $500 on a set. I remember when the Medieval Market Village was revealed and people thought a £80 set was a big stretch... So I don't think many people would have been spending £200 on a chess set that was basically a enormous battle pack.

[@Sixbrickss]

Crazy grail

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Yeah it’s insane!

[@davidtaylor142]

I remember seeing that chess set in the lego magazone as a kid and wanting it so bad

[@EpicoNubletto]

Awesome haul Brad! I’ll be looking forward to seeing videos on these themes. Also, I can’t believe the self proclaimed Mr Basil the Batlord didn’t have any Fright Knights sets till now?! 😉

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I know it’s a tratigy😭 I kept trying to get them but was having trouble finding good deals or having the money at the time. Also it’s brad the bradlord😉

[@colbauer1426]

12:25 I got this set for Christmas when it was still new. I have it sitting on my (massive) beside table

[@brickmasterharri]

Ice Planet was a great pick up looking back on it🔥

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Right! I mean same with that dragon master pick up!

[@simplybuildingbricks4067]

Mtron was may favorite Space faction as a kid, but for some reason I only have one set of it-so I like your M-tron set!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

M-tron is great!

[@PaleozoicBricks]

Crocs are the best Chima Tribe

[@BrickingUpBrad]

True!

[@MurderousMuirdris]

it is pronounced (at least i think) "king KAH-HOO-KA" from king kahuka EDIT: THAT SIEGE TOWER ROOK IS SOO CUTE!!!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I think you right! I had a cold when making this video and couldn’t pronounce it so I just gave up😂

[@MurderousMuirdris]

@@BrickingUpBrad oh sorry to hear that

[@BuildLego]

Nice grabs from Chicago I myself have those 90's Castle and Space sets but those Shell sets are rare I don't ever remember seeing them. I don't have that amazing massive chest but I got the huge instruction booklet that comes with it and 92% of the minifigs from that set, just missing a few orcs and 1 dwarf.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Very cool!

[@MMj-oq8ev]

I am just starting to collect vintage castle sets. Really love to Watch you”re Channel so i know what to buy. 😇

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Glad to hear got more coming soon!

[@Alicat0314]

Well crap. I always wondered why that chest set was so stupidly expensive. Now I know. THAT PACKAGE! THE QUAILTY! THE EXCLUSIVE MINIFGURE! SO MUCH WOW

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Actually all the figures in it can be found in other sets! Like some of the combinations of parts are unique in this set but all can be found in other fantasy era sets!

[@riaanagenbacht9834]

I can't beleive you only got 227 likes for this amazing video

[@wholeset]

I'm just curious do you tear apart your sets like cheesy studios???? Also got to love the classic pirate ships, I personally own the Caribbean clipper and 1989 black seas barracuda and cant wait for a fright knights video.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I will take them apart but keep the peices together but usually it’s only a set here and there that I take apart for parts. But nothing castle or space.

[@Lapince78]

Very good vidéos

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thank you!!

[@bluebug346]

Nice

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thanks!

[@KNIGHT_And_BEEZY]

Cool!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thank you!

[@BlueDragonBricks]

Yo, I actually have the Lewa, and the Kopaka, but I'm missing the mask for Kopaka, so I ordered it on Bricklink along with the original Gali, as I think Gali looks the coolest. Btw awesome finds dude!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Those are all great but dam that sucks he is missing the mask. Appreciate it!

[@octav1600]

holly ! how much would that chess set be ? that looks so awesome! They really need to do a chess set like this again.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Usaully $1500 but the guy was selling it for $1200

[@octav1600]

@@BrickingUpBrad EEsh ... that's a lot. At least it's not as expensvie as the Black Knights Castle. One of these days I will have to get my hands on all these ultra expensive old sets.... but it's such a bad deal to pay 1000+ for a set that's not even half the size of a good 400 dollar castle that they release now xD ... I hate lego so much when they can't be bothered to release good "recent" stuff ...

[@user-tg6sj1nr4p]

I saw you there

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Let’s go!

[@LukasVandijk-zo1im]

this video make me a bit jealous 🥲, but very cool. Maybe you could do reviews in future of old an new castle sets

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Maybe one day!
