Is this a better Castle? || LEGO/BrickLink 910029 Mountain Fortress Review

[@joe-bowling]

I built this recently and have about the same observations as you: looks great outside, lacking inside, needs more minifigures. I also would have preferred printed instructions but I accept that Bricklink Designer sets won't have them. I love all the different ways the windows are made

[@letsbuildofficial]

Do you prefer the Lion Knight Castle or this?

[@joe-bowling]

@letsbuildofficial I have not yet built the the Lion Knights castle, but from the pictures, it seems more colorful and alive on the inside, and it has a water wheel which I like. Of course, the cold mountain fortress is meant to look less friendly given the harsh weather.

[@vietrounder]

I have both sets. LK set has nicer interior but is really cramped. It’s really designed at half scale. The MF lacks interior finishes due to it’s restrictions on 4K piece count. However I think the scale is a bit better.

[@TheGold3agle]

@@joe-bowlingwhat kind of instructions are they if they’re not printed?

[@octav1600]

Not sure if anyone else said this already, but the yellow portion of the castle in front is a reference to one of the original Falcon Knights Castle (it had a huge yellow piece in the front at the entrance - and a few yellow wall panels at the back, with tudor architecture). The other had the same, but with red instead of yellow. Regarding the set, lovely set, got myself one (just so I don't miss out). But I think the LEGO castle set was always going to be the BEST castle because lego put in it so much more resources. This is good for what it is, great design, but for $20 more you get 10 more minifigs and more pieces, this even before you consider htat you can get the Lion Knights castle at a discount if you're patient and lucky.

Edward 2 did ban Football, but mostly because he wanted archery done instead so he had plenty of good archers for war, it takes years of training to get the muscles to operate an English war bow and people were neglecting archery to play Football...plus Football raised rivalry when he wanted cohesion and peace inside the country so he could go to France and have war.

[@FullCastle-1]

It's a pretty cool build

[@letsbuildofficial]

I hope they'll release more Castles! :D

[@mijbricks8762]

I love the Mountain Fortress! Unfortunately, I don’t own it so I decided to make on myself. Please check out my (Summer) Mountain Fortress built with 4x 31120! I think you’ll like it!

[@letsbuildofficial]

Sure, I'll do!

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

Ive got 3, and a lot of extra bricks so I will give it a go and if its needed I will have to buy another.

[@lolzwutify]

Do you know how many total bags were in the box? Thanks!

[@letsbuildofficial]

Comes with 69, but It's in the video.

[@lolzwutify]

@@letsbuildofficialThanks, I don’t know how I missed it, I watched your video at least 3 times before while I was planning to buy this. I should get it next week so I want to check if I have everything.

[@lolzwutify]

I got 68 numbered bags and 2 unnumbered bags. Do you think this is complete?

[@ianfingerman5150]

Great review!! Thank you!

[@letsbuildofficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@fisibobale]

Hello there, does anyone know if there is an .io file of this set, so it is easier to moc

[@TheGold3agle]

[@letsbuildofficial]

You can find them on the Bricklink site.

Én élek, halok a kastélyos készletekért, de ezt sajnos nem tudtam beszerezni😢

heló jó látni magyar testvér de its prety good very good

[@joostdriesens3984]

I don't have this set, but I have the Lion castle. Even though I think the set is very impressive, I like the Lion's castle gestalt or overall shape better. I don't like the large central tower in this set, it's a big too big for my taste and seems like part of a cathedral to me instead of a fortress.

R u Czechoslovakian? You have really thick and exotic accent

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

Both Castles are bad 🤷‍♂️ Bad design. Too much medium stone gray brick. Not enough color. Lifeless. My opinion. 🤷‍♂️

[@saem369]

Lol. It’s a castle? They’re usually gray..

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

@@saem369 no, that is untrue, also known as false. Castles of the medieval period were painted various colors, most were white. Read up!

[@kapiteinlulhaas7612]

​@@MichaeldeSousaCruzyou said not enough color and then you said they should be white. Weird.

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

@@kapiteinlulhaas7612 you’re right! That is weird! What’s even weirder is that white is a reflection of ALL colors!! Whoa!! 🤯 Who knew white is so color full.

[@kapiteinlulhaas7612]

@@MichaeldeSousaCruz so you would call a mostly white castle colorfull?

[@Mastablasta1971]

just what the worlds need more plastic polution

[@WildWombats]

Lego's aren't something most people throw away, fortunately, until it breaks but that's not typical. Compared to other plastics like plastic water bottles or plastic bags which are often thrown away on the regular, Lego's are kept and displayed in contrast, rarely ever ending up in large amounts in landfills.

[@aquapucci]

The pc or cellphone that you're typing this message on is also made of plastic. Just stfu

[@letsbuildofficial]

I think he's referring to the plastic bags.
