As an adult who has to mostly pay for his own Legos now, I really value your reviews over other channels. You review a Lego set from an adult perspective and really show the value, or lack of value, in a set. With costs rising these days and so many other expenses and hobbies, your videos help me determine what sets to buy and which ones to avoid. Thank you for the consistent quality and honesty!

[@user-ie1xn3jp6f]

extra overhang on the upstairs floors is common in Europe, it was done to reduce land tax as the ground foot print only counted as the taxable dimension

[@mathewkolakwsk]

$200 with 5-6 more figures seems a lot more right for this one… as someone that owns and really likes the Lion Knights Castle, I’m waiting for a discount. Lastly, I’d like to see smaller Castle theme sets… let’s hope for that in the future!

[@JPD2587]

I love the Knights Castle and happily ate that price tag, but this set doesn’t do enough to get my purchase. And yeah there are so many smaller classic sets I’d love to see revisited. We need some carriages!

[@hurgle3197]

Man yeah I wish everyday for a new castle theme to have sets that don't bankrupt me lol, I would love a little market stall set like the one in this set

[@arjanang]

@@JPD2587 I would like to see a new joust set! 😊

[@itouch4mac]

I was telling my partner that exact same thing! If this set was $199 as is, it’d be a day-1 purchase. That extra $40 on top of the set already lacking that “market bustling” vibe keeps me from immediately purchasing. I hope a discount hits this set sometime in the future.

[@jacobelmslie3862]

@@JPD2587 yeah the castle is pretty special, and got me to buy lego after 25 years! I do like this a lot but for the price wanted less stickers... I would still get it but now I have learned to wait for GWP and that is not too fun

[@Zenlore6499]

That poor singular goat is so busy! They make so SO much cheese!

[@bigginsd1]

I love the historically accurate red squirrel. It was ubiquitous in Europe before the introduced larger North American grey squirrel took over the squirrel population in most of Europe.

[@DRRADSTONE]

Jang is the only person who can review a set with the right amout of detail, but also not over explaining everything.

[@deathscythehellfunk]

I think the tree is meant to look like it's been coppiced. Coppicing was a very widespread practice in the Middle Ages (and still done today) to cut down a tree at the base and letting it grow back to get specific types or shapes of wood.

[@TerminaFE]

The Medieval Market Village from around 2008 was my white whale set as a kid, always out of reach and only able to look at it in the catalogs. So as an adult this is such a nostalgia trip and a tempting purchase to save up for.

[@EvanMoon]

I feel like I have walked around the village as a Lego mini figure, thanks to your review

[@GalacticBricks928]

Little thing you missed, in the guest room of the tavern, if you pull the sword it reveals a secret compartment

[@JANGsLEGOreviews]

Hours of work and ruined it by missing something tiny but, surely to many, absolutely critical. Failure.

[@GalacticBricks928]

I think you mentioned it in the reveal video. Other than that, great video

[@asmo1313]

@@JANGsLEGOreviews don`t be so harsh on yourself. It`s just one detail in a very good and honest review. Nobody is perfect.

[@tygovisser5626]

​@@JANGsLEGOreviewslore-wise i guess its an important feature as it is about the 'loyalty' of the tax collector. Realistically nobody really cares about this feature though. I only imagine adults buying this for themselves and they probably dont really play with it as much

[@piotr78]

It's a secret! ;)

[@idkwhattohaveasausername5828]

A small W for castle fans. Still yearning for the day that vintage themes make a complete comeback, but this will do for now.

[@HowIamDriving]

But a theme wouldn't look that detailed.

[@nihili4196]

We don't need a theme this detailed tho. Affordable sets that would provide solid parts and good selection of minifigs, flora, fauna and accessories would be great. Adult collectors can always upgrade the sets to this level, but younger people with less income can't always afford this

[@Andrew-ww1hz]

Forget where I read it, but a Lego store employee said something like if you want to see a dedicated castle theme, then buy this one

[@migatron1]

It's amazing to see how far the design and execution of builds for LEGO sets has come in the past 10 years.

[@Beto_Mori]

I think the trans yellow round tiles inside the barrel is honey from the bee hive, the villager is about to sell it or something like that. And the goat guy from smf 25 would fit perfectly in the scene, there's even a perfect place for his goat

[@snakeboy6368]

I still enjoy watching Jang’s reviews, but I am out of the hobby. The pricing and Lego’s stinginess with expensive sets gives me a sour feeling every time. I hope more people will stop buying overpriced sets so prices can get back to reasonable again, but I’m afraid not.

[@BillHaverchuck3]

The review we’ve all been waiting for. Thanks again Jang for your great un-sponsored reviews.

[@lbricks7631]

Wow that looks way better in actual photos, why does Lego insist on doing renders all the time, it often paints their products in an unflattering light. Great review as always Jang.

[@akaviral5476]

Finally! The real review has dropped!

[@cmdrTremyss]

I'm not hating on stickers, but man, some of these would be so much better as prints. All in all the set is great, especially because you get commoner minifigures with it mostly and not just soldiers.

[@ServantOfBoron]

Great review! The set is on my list, to go with the castle and some old woodsman sets from my childhood. Oh, and crabs and all other kind of shellfish were actually a commoners food and turkey dinner would be expensive in medieval times :)

[@themarcusismael13]

I was just thinking today about looking up a review video of this given all the emails and ads Lego is doing to push this. Glad your video was the first to pop up. You’re the single best, most comprehensive Lego review channel on here and the way you do it is the most balanced, not annoying format out of all lego content creators. Thanks

[@ClassicSteve]

I assumed the clear yellow pieces in the barrel were honey.

[@konstantinkonstantinov3117]

Jang's reviews are almost equal to owning the sets. Always pleasure to watch!

[@Al8lack]

Thank you for all of your hard work and effort making this wonderful content Jang. I especially love your longer reviews for the larger sets. As for this set, I really love it and plan to buy and display next to the Lion Knights Castle.

[@fluxqemist4015]

Loved building this set, it has some fab details and additions for castle fans i.e. the return of the wolfpack plus showing other aspects of medieval living... and not just blacksmiths. My only quibble is the use of stickers where I feel for the price point they should be printed especially the tapestry design and outdoor signage. Also I agree that the roofs were slightly over engineered haha, a nice change from some of the more fiddly ones we've seen in the winter village sets as of late.

[@princeleafazriel8657]

I just got the Vampire Knight from Series 25 today! He would make an amazing addition to this set, raiding the village!

[@simplybuildingbricks4067]

I so enjoy your reviews and wait for them to come out to see kits that interest me, I'm not buying new kits at this point, but really enjoy seeing them as you show them! Thanks for your great reviews!

[@hurgle3197]

Im a hige castle fan and im still so torn on this one, its doesnt do enough for me to justify how expensive it is and i feel likr it doesnt have ad many little market stalls and side builds as the old one to make it feel like a bustling town.

[@Shorjok]

They can put all prints in the small millennium falcon which costs 1/3rd of this, but not a 3300 piece set designed to nostalgia-bait adult collectors... I'm a huge castle fan but this set is disapointing to me and I won't be getting it unless it's heavily discounted.

[@cloak9681]

Always the only source for my Lego reviews, keep up the amazing work jang !

[@moriyama815]

I love your reviews the most among all Lego reviewers!!

[@greenhill004]

The set is a great $200 set but needs at least one or two more Wolf Pack guys/gals [You can't have a pack by yourself] and a cow.

[@Brandon-ew8mr]

I’ve been waiting for this video ever since this set was revealed 🎉

[@michaelbizley]

this castle fan is NOT living well because i can’t afford any of the sets they’re putting out 😂

[@idkwhattohaveasausername5828]

Felt that one in my heart lol

[@nihili4196]

Yeah, I'm saving to get this one, and there's DnD set coming in a few days too. I'm not complaining.... I know I have a lot of time to get both, but I have this weird panic in the back of my head that I need to hurry to get both

[@jacobelmslie3862]

yeah and where / when will the the GWP thats relevant?

[@lbricks7631]

Yep.

[@pewpewdragon4483]

as a castle fan myself, I don't want a tavern or castle, just sell me some cheese stands and textile looms, those I can afford 😂

[@user-uc2qk8wg6z]

I can see two things I don't like: - no door to access the shield maker workshop - using the stairs leads to the kitchen trough what it looks to be a hole in the wall I'm gonna wait for 2x points and/or a good GWP

[@UltravioletNomad]

If they did split up these builds, I suppose you could also argue for making them about 3-4 studs bigger on atleast one side and adding more minifigs and side builds, and at that point you might be able to argue for an extra 10-15 bucks per build. When you look at it all together, it feels like they took an entire wave of 5 variously sized builds and put it all in to one box instead of selling them as a series.

[@warrennewman5325]

fantastic medieval town Square awesome review jang enjoyed your starlight this week on twitch 👍

[@soosandras555]

MACHICOLATIOOOONS!!!!!!!

[@King-Bubel]

This rules, I really hope Lego keeps making these high-quality castle sets so we can keep expanding on it

[@jacobelmslie3862]

yeah.... despite its flaws still a great set.

[@arthurstrebel4424]

Great review Jang! Thank you very much. Even though some other Lego KZbinrs do reviews earlier than you do for some of the sets I am interested in, it is your reviews I am looking forward the most!

[@gorgefx6111]

Great video as always Jang!

[@giorgiodalbano3638]

Great detailed review! Love the quality of the close-up footage!

[@nym5qu17]

this is so adorable, i love how its almost to scale

[@1Andronicus1]

The colors are off for me but the rest is good

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

It looks really nice. I wonder how tough it would be to expand each build to make them proper full sized buildings. It looks like a great start to a medieval village.

[@samuelleask1132]

Both this and the Lion Knights Castle have had absolutely top notch interiors

[@michaelsmith8028]

Been waiting for this since 2009.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

I would have been nice to have a few more villagers or soldiers. However, what they put in was a useful selection.

[@thebrickhiker]

Excellent review! Thank you for going into details like you do. Impressed by the level of detail in this set and I do wish it was closer to $200. Love the bird nesting in "my" beard. Some fun parts usages it looks like. Maybe I'm being greedy, but for the asking price, I think they should have included at least 3 more minifigs. It seems like this is a set that could use more figures than what they provided. Thanks again for your detailed review!

[@stuchly1]

Gotta love the dinosaur foot design of the thatched roof design, but I agree it's a bit all out on the one roof and then barely anything on the other. 😅

[@vincentwiddershoven2122]

Loving this set and cant deny it, lol. The stuff in the handcart, can that be honny maybe? As always my thsnks to Jang for another great video and revieuw. 😊

[@Fr0stbit3_]

This set feels very nostalgic to when I had the Medieval Market Village set as a kid. It was nice to see that this set was a direct inspiration from that old set too!

[@markj7226]

Loved the Baldur's Gate reference. Great review!

[@DarthxNormaN]

Why wasn't the staircase at the watch tower made one stud wider? Would it block anything if it was?

[@mr.dinkydude1238]

YES! I’ve been waiting for this review!

[@originalspiff]

Been waiting for this! :D

[@neillegstrong4663]

You are the best Lego reviewer of all time! The GOAT!

[@WHBRIX]

Thank you JANG for another great video! Your videos are the highlight of my day! Much love from WHBRIX! ❤️

[@Dreadwolf3155]

can't say how much i appreciate the scaling with LKC and the 3 in 1!!!!

[@shampooer]

2:10 ‼️‼️GOAT MENTIONED‼️‼️ 🐐 🐐🐐

[@nathanaelhall5780]

I think you're correct about the tree being cut. It kinda looks like a Yew tree & that is a popular tree for bow making.

[@jackyharuhiko]

Great review. I’m in the process of very slowly building it as a stress reliever. The build is so far quite enjoyable and I’m up to bag 10. This set looks good value on the surface, but we have to know that many of the 3300 pieces are very small 1x1 decorative pieces or small accessories. A bit expensive in my opinion, just compare it with the awesome Viking village. Of course, I think this one looks a little better, but I nearly paid double of that of the Viking village.

[@jacobelmslie3862]

Despite its flaws, its a must have for this castle fan.... I can hardly wait to get this, and brick link order some upgrades to make it a clock tower, complete the tavern and turn the red one into a stable/ armory and do a few other little things. goona be reeel nice. Just waiting for a relevant GWP since LEGO has me trained to do that now... so not a big fan of that sales strategy.

[@sportspicks94]

The fact that he actually pays for his sets makes his opinions more valuable than most other lan member reviews

[@seanlavoie2]

12:33 the shaping will it’s angles reminds me of a piece from space Lego sets similar to the canopy of the 6876 Blacktron Alienator, and a compatible corner piece viewed from the inside.

[@captainbat37]

I definitely want this set at some point im glad lego is doing more medieval sets i hope we get more pirates sets soon aswell

[@michaelcasserly5861]

I enjoyed this review. Thank you for your thoughts in this set.

[@undefender]

The days of affordable non-licensed playsets are over. Everything is a $100+ set or Gift With Purchase. No kid can go into a Target or Lego Store and get a playset unless their family is very well-off. It just makes me sad

[@TheJohnPoint]

As a LEGO fan, I enjoy your professional review👍

[@sureyyasehitoglu1960]

Excellent display. Thank you brother.

[@NeonSupernovaUPW]

Thanks, Jang. Excellent review and evaluation of value. I want this one, but not sure the price feels right. So many nice aspects to it.

[@Marc-qp4br]

Great review Jang!! It would have been good if it was on the same scale as the castle size and perhaps it would have been a little cheaper!

[@antraxxslingshots]

Hands down the best looking LEGO Set of the last 10 years easily (for me at least)! Thank you for the awesome presentation.

[@DavidConant]

Good review; surprised Lego hasn’t made the Medieval Cluny Abbey in France since my Great Grandpa reconstructed the designs and they would have a lot of reference material to work with. 😊

[@thrillhouse4151]

That’s a pretty deluxe looking set, kinda wish the newer castle stuff wasn’t locked into the fancy 18+ sets though. I still like trapdoors and skeletons and stuff.

[@redsmily7858]

still the best lego reviewer on youtube

[@despawn7663]

Only proper way to Lego I’d throw all the bags in a pile and search for the piece :)

[@satbyeolstopmotion]

wow, This is a really detailed review. 🥰🥰😊😊I will refer to this later when I purchase Lego. 🙏🙏

[@jamesfahey7188]

Good on you for doing the charity stream! You’re more than just a nice guy!

[@empatheticrambo4890]

It’s great to see the comments praising you Jang; there’s a reason you’re the premier Lego reviewer

[@doggeridoo]

I really agree about the Ultima / Baldur's Gate vibes. Feels 'right' in that way. Great observation.

[@GuanoLad]

That's a sarsparilla barrel. I recognise it. All good.

[@BricksShowcase]

These sets are unbelievable. It would look fabulous with together with the Castle.

[@amebapululante]

the best review, as usual

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

You know, I like it, seems fun. Fun fact, medieval houses did tend to overhang the price is fair.. nvm I thought it was bigger... the budgeting is kinda visible but id rather that than higher cost. Definitely 1 more farm animal at least Would have preferred the 2 parts as separate sets but its probably worse for business that way and better for the customer

[@sesemango]

I found it strange how LEGO "censored" the old clothing of the maidens with an extra white under-blouse :) The house with the tower has only one door, so the painter goes through the inn with dipping paint all over? What is that big hole in the kitchen wall next to the tower? Why not place there a thin door instead of the logs? I bought it, built it, but I still find the old Medieval Town set better.

[@fionnfitzpatrick8546]

23:06: That yellow liquid in the barrel, it's probably honey, right? Fresh from the beehive just outside the farmhouse.

[@TheSweatyYeti]

Fantastic minifig selection

[@LuketheDuke424]

Ah yes, LEGO still keeps saying that anything that's good for adult fans has to be ridiculously huge and thus, expensive.

[@allonewordcaps]

Great video 😊

[@Amy-yf9zc]

i wish i could afford the medieval sets. they all look so wonderful and FULLY my vibe.

[@grammarkaiser8683]

The thing I look for in financial terms is 'can I make this work with my budget and collecting plans'. If I like a set, then its price per piece matters less to me. In two years I'll have to double check what I paid for it anyway.

[@lenceemtwodazw5827]

was waiting for your review before buying but i caved in and bought.

[@novacat3032]

3 points: a) content of the barrel could be honey... they keep the beehives close for a reason b) that (not)chess-board has 7x7 squares... should be 8x8... i maybe do my own sticker there... guess some lego sticker-designer is hiding form the set-designers of chess-sets for like the rest of his life c) i really like how they play with posters on the tree... most are takes on 3rd party printed tiles you could get out of china like the famos "missing goat" poster

[@garethsmith2250]

Great video again

[@Ciero9]

One thing you missed is the shield maker's shop has no door. Unless you imagine it is accessed through the tavern, it's buried beneath the soldier's sleeping quarters.

[@wikbriks5753]

Lego needs to get the scale thing under control, need to set up scale system to be able to match sets together.

[@lbricks7631]

This is one of those sets that you really want but can't get because its 400 AUD.

[@Dreadwolf3155]

got one in hand. want another!

[@nihili4196]

12:45 i feel like that familiar feeling might come from Dragon knights using exact same colour scheme for their buildings. I am probably completely false, but that's what it reminds to me. Which if that were the case, would be a nice callback to the line where last goat originated from.

[@octav1600]

The bottom of the inn (with green windows onto browns and dark grey) - that looks like the green dragon knights from 2010s.
