LEGO Medieval Town ADDITIONS! Statue, Sheep, and Much More!

[@leonvanbergen4077]

Wow great additions! The statue is my #1!

[@andhe]

Even just one extra stall adds so much more character. Great ideas.

[@Kiki15SLO]

Almost everything makes sense, but not the shield on wolfpack guy. He is a thief and does not want to carry shield with him when he sneaks arround. :D

[@jacobelmslie3862]

I agree its not needed, I actually might just have him use a dagger... also a spear with shield is not a good matchup... by this time armor was good enough a shield was not really needed, but would have looked nice in his apartment.

[@brickstarsofficial]

We just really wish we got a wolfpack shield again because the old ones are so expensive 😅

[@jacobelmslie3862]

@@brickstarsofficial They would be a fool to not remake a wolf pack hideout....

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Basically the Forestmen and Wolfpack are the only factions I would not mind having to walk around without shields. They are rogues, bandits, trackers and rangers basically, people that tend to travel light and rely on ranged weapons and smaller arms to protect them. For sure, having some wolfpack shields would be awesome. They could build out the faction in some sort of bountyhunter way, or a mercenary type faction that also has knights and man-at-arms. For those minifigures, shields would make a lot of sense.

@@pinobluevogel6458 if they do get a shield I think a printed round one would be best

[@BuilderJacob]

great job, I also added some sheep, a pig with piglets, 2 cows and an owl. and built a 2 axle wagon pulled by one of the cows. I am also looking forward to some extra market stalls, nice idea from that potter!!

[@brickstarsofficial]

Awesome! Thanks!! 😃

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Sounds great. I certainly think adding sheep is the most logical choice. Because I do not yet own sheep, I used what I had. I made a small pig pen with some pigs, added a cow and the ox cart from the Lion Knight's, a few chickens and put a whole lot of plants and small trees around, including some cobblestones to make a townsquare in front of the inn. As a last thing to make it more lively, I added a squad of Black Falcon soldiers with a Knight, that visits the town for provisions, buying some cheese from the child laborer. I still think it is a bit of a problem that a set this expensive needs all kinds of things to 'complete' it, but on the other hand customizing and adding your own little details is certainly one of the most fun thngs to do.

[@mastermouldie]

Great work on improving the village and at the same time making it your own!

[@brickstarsofficial]

Thanks!! :)

[@galaxyblaster1095]

Something I would love to see Lego do is give us a new, slightly bigger horse mold with those feathery fetlocks around the feet to represent a draft horse/war steed. I think it would add and extra layer of detail to the castle theme. For example, you could have the new draft horse pulling a plow in a medieval farm set, while the regular horse could be a cart horse.

[@jacobelmslie3862]

oh yeah that would be sweet~! great idea... tell lego.

[@brickstarsofficial]

That would be sick!! Agreed

[@pinobluevogel6458]

I would love an actual warhorse and having different sizes. I do think that with Lego, reusing existing parts as much as possible is a huge thing. It saves them a lot of investment on the molds and I don't think they will consider it. I'd be happy if they just added a few more colors and maybe a spotted pattern or something, but this is certainly a great idea.

[@jacobelmslie3862]

@@pinobluevogel6458 if they can make all these parts for ninjago dragons and such and make profit, surely a new horse would be very popular

[@FitFitFit22]

Great ideas. I did add the cheese and the tiny cmf mouse and 3 white goats.🤠

[@brickstarsofficial]

We wanted the mouse too but hes also tough to find! The white goats are also a great add :)

[@KoffinKirse]

Might be hard to reload a crossbow if you have a shield in hand

[@martinfehring2568]

Thank you so much for the input I needed for this years advent calender for the kids 😉👍 The small side builds together with a pottery should be possible for my two dwarfs.

[@brickstarsofficial]

That's awesome! Glad to hear it 😃

[@martinfehring2568]

@@brickstarsofficial It is better to be prepared in time. Two turns and it is end of November 🤣

[@mattstrott753]

Love the additions. When I buy this set I'm going to use some of these ideas. I think I'm also going to buy 2 copies so I can improve the buildings.

[@brickstarsofficial]

Thanks!! We plan on getting a 2nd copy on the next sale :)

[@jacobelmslie3862]

yeah the 2 inns need to be separated, maybe the broken axes inn on one side, and a retail shop on the other? then make the painters studio part of another workshop or stable? I too would like to do this.

[@NewBricksNitro]

nice presentations - would be cool if you had built a MOC from all the sets 😉 - we probably would have built the whole village in front of a bigger castle wall

[@pinobluevogel6458]

This is something I considered, but the townsquare buildings are basically so large, that the wall requires quite a brick investment if it was built up to scale. Also, the little tower assembly next to the inn doesn't look that great in front of a wall. In my opinion it is a better fit in the vicinity of a castle or a bunch of walls, or just displayed on it's own.

[@jacobelmslie3862]

The side stalls do add a lot to it, and easy enough to make. the Extra minis do add a lot and the horse would have improved the set quite a lot... things I want to do to mine own set are make the tower a clock tower, and separate the 2 haves to complete into a stable, and retail goods shop. and add a well.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Great ideas. I wanted to add a stables too, but in the end I am going to add it to the Lion Knight's Castle instead. The clock tower and goods shop is something I didn't think of.

[@jacobelmslie3862]

@@pinobluevogel6458 I like it, I found 4 clock pieces and starting to look like a mini big ben type of town building.

@@jacobelmslie3862 That sounds awesome :D

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Great job doing what LEGO should have done, by adding the pieces the set lacked. Apart from the statue (which is certainly nice, but not needed), having more stalls, a few more minifigures and a few more animals would have made the set quite a bit better. For me, the set as it is currently is probably an 8.5 out of 10 and with adding these it would go up to a 9 for sure, possibly 9.5 if it had multiple extra animals and a maybe a well. Another thing that really needs to be done is fixing the 2 unfinished roofs of the three part building assembly and changing the connection there so the buildings can fully open and the middle building doesn't get blocked. That would perfect the set to a 10/10 for sure.

[@brickstarsofficial]

Thanks! Totally agree on the roof updates - this video was more intended to capture add ons. We'll be doing updates/upgrades soon which will include a roof fix :)

[@hoodafudj]

Where did that torso from the vegetable stand guy come from? Gives me of forestmen or majisto vibe, i'm wondering about making a few new wizards

[@brickstarsofficial]

It's actually from the lion knights castle originally and is also featured in the medieval town set. All we did was swap the blue arms to sand green :) it does work great for forestmen and majisto!

[@454ss_gaming]

LOVE them all :)

[@Nick-y9c]

Love it! especially the statue, if only I have the pieces... I am a little suspicious about the guard, coz is wearing a big mustache and has a letter from the black falcons... at your placce I would keep an eye on him, he might be an agent... for the taxes collector I think he might blackmailing the black knight coz of the letter he has... but I would add to him a cart with at least one treasure chest and on or two guards. I would make them looking a little crooked and not wearing the lion knights outfits... for the wolf pack highwayman I would recreate some blue cart closed or identical to the original set 6038.

[@brickstarsofficial]

Thanks! And good theory on the guard never thought of that 😂 An extra wolfpack fig and cart would be great!

[@jacobelmslie3862]

the mustache for me makes him like an unassuming character that sees the good in anyone, like he would believe the wolf guys innocence on his word, almost like a mr magoo of guards. he is one of my favorites of the bunch... just wish he and the wolf guy also came with hair.

[@Krueger_ai]

I would replace the Lion Knight with one of the OG Fright Knights.

[@brickstarsofficial]

We thought about that but sadly we haven't been able to get the new basil fright knight 😅

[@Krueger_ai]

@@brickstarsofficial I would personally use the CMF version of Basil as only Basil.
