LEGO Dungeons & Dragons Red Dragon's Tale REVIEW | Set 21348

[@Daniel-fk8ou]

2700 points for a booklet is absolutely insane. Should come with the $360 set.

[@Etienne.6329]

When I saw it was worth 20+$ in points I genuinely thought it was a thick hardcover book... how wrong was I...

[@bz6046]

Isn't it free digital download.

[@jacobelmslie3862]

I am not a dnd fan, but not sure I could even call this a dnd set if it does not have the booklet... so many people will just redeem points for it, and resell on market.... stupid.

[@lifedeather]

Forreal 💀 pls don’t waste your points on that lmao 😂

[@James-lu2jn]

you get it for free through dnd beyond

[@lichenlord]

Highly appreciate you plainly stating you can't recommend the set at this price, despite having received it early and for free. It would be easy to justify hedging, but you stuck to your principles and that doesn't go unnoticed.

As someone who has played D&D since 2015, I never thought I’d get a LEGO D&D set. I’m so freaking excited for this, but I will admit, I might be looking at it with rose tinted glasses, and I’ll probably use my Insider points to knock down the price

[@lifedeather]

At that point wait for sale

[@HoldenEvans75]

@@lifedeather yeah you probably right lol

[@HoldenEvans75]

Update: I did buy the set at full price and think it is well worth the price, especially if you’re into dnd and can catch all the references. I loved building it and took my time with it, which I don’t normally do.

[@Lux-yc9lc]

It’s been a little bit, still enjoying the set? Thinking about picking it up for myself along with the D&D minifigs that are launching August 1st

[@HoldenEvans75]

[@wouters1180]

Dude, I love your early reviews. It's literally always a set that's been lingering in my mind.

[@SolidBrixStudios]

❤❤❤

[@lotr_bricks]

As a non DnD player, it truly looks AMAZING! the dragon is spectacular. And I love the inn and the ruined tower. I'll probably pick it up on a discount or something. It's just asking too much.

[@etherealicer]

Yeah, Lego has gone bonkers with the prices. It looks really good but not at that price.

[@residentflamingo115]

​@@etherealicer Lego has been thinking they are worth more then they actually are, especially when there's been more misprints recently and lack of quality control.

[@arthurschamne9804]

@@etherealicer The pricing is actually pretty good. Y'all don't realize about how many pieces are in this. Like it's literally priced with the same range as many other well priced sets are. Even using the comparison this youtuber used. Mountain Fortress set is $0.095 per piece and this set is $0.096 per piece. The difference is literally 1/10th of a cent per piece.

[@bionodroid547]

it’s not a matter of how many pieces are in a set, it’s a matter of the value you get for a set in terms of the build and the finished model. Lego chooses the prices of sets, the designer has the job of justifying it. Lego Sets being too expensive is a matter of the executives choosing to have more expensive sets made, forcing designers to sacrifice the quality (like with the hulk buster) or the perceived value (like with this one).

[@arthurschamne9804]

@@bionodroid547 This one unlike the Mountain Fortress has a ton of detail into each part, that's why it's smaller. Plus it has a fully built dragon.

[@InvertedWIng]

This set comes across as a proof of concept to me, much like the Green Hills Zone Ideas set which went on to spawn a whole line of Sonic the Hedgehog sets. Between this and the upcoming CMF series, I think LEGO's testing the waters and seeing if a D&D theme would be commercially plausible.

[@DutchThriceman]

360 is a lot to test if a theme is viable though, I can't afford that kinda dosh on lego with life in general being so expensive nowadays.

[@Marina-bd4le]

@@DutchThriceman That's the thing, it probably is very viable but the price will hold it back making them think it's not. I never played it but I'd love to have this set, I still haven't bought the Orient as that's too costly.

[@benlooy547]

Is it too expensive? Yes. Will I be getting it? Yes.

[@owene2530]

I mean it literally isn't it's less than 10 cents per piece with a ton of figures beasts and build. Lego fans gotta bitch about something tho

[@BurstanStudios]

@@owene2530I mean it’s just small and underwhelming, no dice? The mini figs are pretty generic, which I guess is the point. Too many pieces are put into a dragon that ultimately looks meh and the dragon itself is too big for the landscape or the landscape is too small for the dragon whichever way you want to take that. It’s “modular” but there’s not really a lot of customization that can be done with that given the nature of the shaping the build has. And with it being modular the way it is they could’ve just as easily made 5 or so $30-120 dollar sets, made it a full on lego theme and it would have sold much better but as I see it this is just another hulkbuster

[@ladyflimflam]

@@BurstanStudiosThat’s the real issue. Instead of issuing this as a theme with marketing explaining that you want everything if you want to play their campaign they have given people a take it or leave it choice. It will sell out, but a theme with mixed price points would likely give them more sales over a longer time period making more money. Instead they are treating customers as cash machines.

[@lifedeather]

Blud rich

[@lupolinar]

Weak.

[@brandondavis3431]

The GWP is a dice holder for DND players. Useful for campaigns

[@mateuszosuch6267]

It doesn't have any locking mechanism unfortunately, so it's only useful for storing dice between and during play. For transporting to game all my dice holders have to be locked up. (so it only works if one having mimic is hosting the game)

[@lupolinar]

This GWP is just another FU from LEGO and should be included in this overpriced set.

[@alberto5770]

No self respecting player would carry his dice but on a leather pouch, preferably with runes.

[@user-cx6kt3ku2f]

Most people I’ve talked to were hoping for it to be something you could use to play the game, like modular 3D Playmats, customizable minifigures… and not just a big set about the IP. (Sure the IP had some very unique things to it but most of it is designed to look like your typical high fantasy world.)

[@Thedisastermaster9]

To be fair this is the first in the IP and you can buy bricks directly from Lego so I feel like there will be tons of D&D fan instructions and Dungeon Masters will definitely try their hands at DIY. This feels more like a leaping off point

[@Mister_Livio]

Ehhh, I'll wait for a sale. 360 for this doesnt feel as good as Lion Knights Castle for 400. It would feel better with many more figs.

[@lifedeather]

Yep good idea

[@lawyerxsinxdarkky]

Feel like Lego baldurs gate would fly off shelves

[@Nozdormu1982]

This should have been priced at 300 at most. Here is the thing. A lot of these really big expensive sets get a 50 euro discount at some point. This tells me that Lego knows the sets are overpriced. So if you look at the price without the 50 euro discount, then you end up with 310 euro. 310 euro is somewhat acceptable, but it should have been without stickers at that point. This set just isn't worth it, but it won't stop people from not being able to resist the fomo and buy the set anyways.

[@KingToblakai]

I avoid purchasing any set with stickers

[@user-dg4ld9gm4l]

So you will buy nothing 😅

[@arcturionblade1077]

I'm sure Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast takes their pound of flesh in the form of licensing fees to use their IP and branding.

[@ladyflimflam]

The dragon adds $100 bucks to the set and could have/should have been separate.

[@SO-ym3zs]

It'll stop me. I have a long history with D&D and love Lego--more accurately, I love building-brick sets since I'm in no way a Lego purist or fanboy and buy the other brands' products frequently--but Lego's pricing is so out of line most of the time that I buy little from them at this point, sadly. I'm not impressed with this set and don't think D&D benefits from the Lego "kiddifying" treatment.

[@CysgodAstua]

Getting this one day one. It also doubles as a quest with the booklet.

[@JackOfNone97]

Alex Jadescales’ head is from the Vidiyo series

[@manlyastronaut6984]

A reason you could justify the price is the fact that this set isn't just a Lego set. It's a full-on D&D one-shot campaign. For those who want to play the campaign as players, this review spoils a lot of the plot details without realizing it (and it's perfectly fine, you said yourself that you are reviewing the set as a Lego product not a D&D one). A mention could've been nice tho. Also the price per piece ratio is a lot better than many other IP'ed Lego set. Anyway, that's my two cents! Great review!

[@kiryowtk2869]

Personal opinion of course, but this doesn't even come close to how well designed LKC is.

[@MrMcSnuffyFluffy]

@Lux-rg4wv It's all personal opinion, and I'm just giving my perspective. For instance, I'd rather spend $500 buying multiple dinosaur 3 in 1 sets instead of one Rivendell.

[@Lux-rg4wv]

@@MrMcSnuffyFluffy It is and it is not. I got you and that's the beauty - everybody can find their piece of cake in the lego world :) But it's like in football, anybody can play, anybody can support their favorite team, but there is no doubt Messi and C. Ronaldo are the two best players, unquestionably. Same here with LKC and Rivendell. They are milestones in terms of design and technical pioniers, instant staples in history of Lego. Opinion shared both by fans and experts.

Great looking set, but yes expensive! Will be further down in our “wish” list but overall it’s looks like a great build! 😊

@@julienholef6026 Good for you, but this means nothing for people who buy it today, as the mimic is gone. By the way, you only got the book because you already had enough points - does not matter for anyone buying just this set. As I've said, it should all be in this one set.

[@stephencorson4341]

Having built the set, I had to revisit this review to kindly disagree with you. While I agree the set should’ve included the dungeon guide (at the least it should’ve been priced closer to 800 points), overall I’m really impressed with the set. It’s a great price per piece ratio for a licensed set and offers something different with the dragon while staying in the castle realm I love. I think if you intend to use this set and play the adventure with your friends it’s well worth it, despite the flaws it has

that displaced beast is recognisable as such from a distance but man is it fugly. would be cool if they came out with a larger more detailed one in the future. i would probably buy that. its honestly one of my favorite monsters in D&D also gelatenous cubes (my other favorite monster) are basically 10x10x10 foot basically invisible cubes of living but uninteligent acidic ooze that wanders the halls of dungeons consuming organic mater. mad wizards and the like will sometimes keep several around to keep their dunegons clean and to gather any magical trinkets that fallen adventurers may have had on them. TL:DR gelatinous cubes are massive and hard to spot dungeon Roombas.

Its just SUCH an aggressive asking price for people to buy into the theme. Why not do a wave of 5 or so mid-range priced LEGO sets. I would have LOVED to buy individual sets to give out to my D&D group. I would have arguably spent MORE had that been an option. If it wasnt a GWP I would be buying a BUNCH of those mimics for everyone to store their dice/minis!

Yes it’s a franchise and it costs more because WOTC et al must get their cut…the set is cool and should retail for about $60-80 less. Very cool though!

[@ultraviolet540]

I know I’m late, but i honestly think this could’ve easily been split into 3 sets, the tavern, the dragon, and a castle/fortress with the beholder. It would’ve been great to have an “encounter” per set, especially to make things more affordable to kids since they are getting into d&d more, thanks to media like Stranger Things, and especially the young adventurer books that they’ve semi-recently released.

If they ever do a Warcraft thing from when it was at it's peak they won't even have a enough plastic to supply. Because quite a few of those 2005 kids are at their peek in their career now. This makes me dream about mocks of legendary events in that world. Ragnaros fight or whatever. Like a diorama in the form of the recent Indiana Jones diorama.

D&D has a whole range of chromatic and Metallic Dragons, it could have worked

[@leg0liver194]

DnD set introduced 1974 contains the "Monster & Treasure" guide: There are six varieties of Dragons, each with separate characteristics in particular and other things in common. Green (gas), Red (fire), White (cold), Black (acid), Blue (light), and Gold (fire or gas).

[@Quabbe2]

There are so many more dragons in DnD now. Even gem dragons. But the red one still is the most infamous.

[@brandonaskew2428]

I love the Red since it's D&D, but i think it was a cost saving measure on LEGO so they wouldn't have to mold dark green in so many curved shapes that don't already exist.

[@arcturionblade1077]

Yeah, the original green dragon of the fan contest submission looks cool but it's not really a D&D chromatic green dragon. It's an homage to the classic Lego Castle and Kingdom theme green dragon mold with the red wings and yellow underbelly, and didn't really look like a D&D chromatic green dragon (which has more fins running along its head and back). Agreed that the red dragon is much more iconic for D&D and representative of their brand though.

[@percyjacksonsonofposeidon.5338]

It all add up and considering other buildings from lego in fantasy style are already there and wating for whole fantasy set up to be made for Dnd players. Not mentioning plenty of Dnd upcoming in next bricklink designer auctions.

[@Krageesh]

Ninjago had Dungeon Crawling Sets just a while ago, with dice, Bone-Dragon, inventory trackers ... This Set shouldve had that and more, like a starterbox to get into D&D. For 200$ max. Price per piece HAS to go down to at least 6 cent per piece, when the competition makes way better sets with better quality and no stickers for 3-4 cents per piece.

[@wcamericanmade9828]

I mean you're already spending 300 what's another 60, and you also get a D&D campaign with the set, so if you want to play that specifically designed campaign I think it makes up for the extra cost

[@Sklb]

Its a play set guys, you will go through it in the D&D game. There is everything. Enemies, loot, everything, boss, inn. Just everything.

[@4evapokemon]

As a huge dnd fan, I believe there were small nods to things like magic items (the cloak on the skeleton, the green dagger, the book- to name a few), and all these things weren’t just put there to be Easter eggs- I think they were put there because they believe people may actually want to use this set as terrain/ set piece to an actual dnd session! While it may be a little cramped, you could definitely use this set as a map for PCs to explore- and there’s definitely a story that dungeon masters could piece together. However, while I think they placed more value in the set for dnd fans, seeing it next to other fantasy/ medieval sets I still don’t believe its price tag is worth it! Awesome review, the set is GORGEOUS, especially all the small details (my favourite is the missing cat poster in the tavern)

[@Tyrany42]

I love Lego and D&D, but I don’t think that set is worth $360. I already have the Lion Knight’s Castle, and I think that was a much better value.

[@BrickHQ]

the paper game instructions version should come with the set, its $360 for heavens sake! You should not have to spend 2700 Insiders points to get it!

[@GoblinXP]

Eventually ONE of these reviews will say that they have played DnD lol. The owl bear is cool, but I do wish they had a Druid or a beast that a Druid could become being someone who just finished played a Druid for almost 2 years

[@ShadownetZero]

Idk, as an adult who doesn't have endless space for sets, I'll take slightly smaller with wayyy more detail inside over larger simpler sets. Comparing those two at the end, one looks way cooler to have, and it's not the bigger one.

[@Evelyn-qt3hi]

I think the set is just a big let down from the original design. Instead of a more unique, larger, and detailed dark green dragon that wraps his body around the tower, there's just the most generic, bright red, four legged dragon that can only wrap his tail partly around it. The tower itself looks worse and doesn't blend into the terrain as well, the bridge to the side tower became as basic as humanly possible instead of being uniquely shaped. The Inn's roof is a more cartoony color, and the Inn itself is shrunken down and loses most of it's detail and visual appeal from the outside, looking more like a tall shack now than an Inn. The cave underneath the tower has most of the rockwork around the side completely gone and made more bare-bones, not even resembling a cave well anymore. Even something as simple as the beholder is made into a goofier design, with a pastel purple color that makes him look like he spent too much time in the sun, rather than the deeper purple. And then it's $360. I would've gladly paid $400 for a larger version more like the original, but all these factors make me not even sure if I'll get the set anymore.

[@afungi9885]

I have not gotten the set at time of writing, but I think it is worth it, for me. I will build the set and display it for sure, but I'll also get to play the adventure with my group, which makes it so worth it in my mind.

I think one other thing to mention is that when comparing to those other sets it may look smaller due to the dragon. But I still agree that 360$ is crazy.

I know it might be a bjt overpriced but... i want it so badly

I think it’s awesome! Yes the price is messed up, but I do plan on buying it for my 10th anniversary for my bone marrow transplant cause I love DnD

Your girlfriend plays D&D and she hasn’t dragged you to at least one game?! That’s insane lol

As a custom builder, I am very particular about what sets I buy these days. Even though I am a huge castle fan. This set does not have enough value for the price.

[@spidermonkeynr1]

That other set is bigger because the dragon takes alot of blocks. No dragon would be a bigger building

You mentioned the IP, and it's worth noting that D&D's IP is EXPENSIVE, especially after 5th edition's phenomenal success and Baldur's Gate 3's success. My guess is at least 50-60$ for the set is just for the use of the IP, which is A LOT.

this was a great balance of clarity and conciseness. Thank you for a great look at it

As a castle and somewhat of a DND fan this is a must buy. But be smart about it. Wait for a 2x point day for your big purchases. I believe this will be sold at other stores like target, Walmart, kohl’s maybe…and wait for sales. It may take awhile for this to go on sale but worth the wait.

Food is a must buy
