LEGO Dungeons and Dragons REVIEW

[@randomnickify]

Lego needs to release the "Build your own DnD party" set with bunch of minifigs and accessories for them. So the people can build their own characters and use them in tabletop games. :) It is really a shame the set doesn't come with game campaign included. Real missed opportunity imho.

[@TiagoCatarino]

It is included, you just have to download it!

[@AD-ie5ie]

Wait until september ;) a minifigure line is being made.

[@randomnickify]

@@AD-ie5ie o Hell YEAH! :)

[@henryvanalmen113]

LEGO, hire this person right now!

[@Norseraider84]

THAT would be so awesome ! ❤

[@forrest3491]

“Are D&D fans willing to spend this much money…” Let me stop you right there.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Tell me more, I honestly have no idea about the amount of money D&D players spend on the game!

[@MrGpdp]

@@TiagoCatarino​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠it’s just like Lego fans, you have your casual fans who spend under/around $100 yearly. Then you have enthusiasts who have whole rooms devoted to the hobby. Then spend/invest hundreds in books, miniatures/models, accessories, tables etc. I played dnd back in high school and college fell out of it due to not having the time to join campaigns. Now if Lego started releasing more affordable sets and included entry level campaigns that could be completed in a nightly I’d definitely purchase

[@forrest3491]

@@TiagoCatarino Many players start off the game with only paper components or very cheap books. The only thing you TECHNICALLY need for D&D is a piece of printed out paper and some dice, if even that. But “blinging out” your game creeps up quick. This is for two reasons. 1) The game is so time-intensive when you have a good play group. This makes it so that you’re willing to make it look professional and immersive with cool minis, painted landscapes, tools, etc. 2) It is basically no cost of entry. In the same way that free-to-play games get you to spend a little bit at a time (ultimately leading to more than a solid price with no micro transactions) after getting you in for free, D&D takes advantage of that same part of the market. Basically, people like myself LOVE to make the game feel real using all 5 senses, and official WOTC products are plentiful because they know that. Thanks so much for covering this set! As a LEGO fan and a tabletop gaming nerd, this sounds right up my alley. Now I just have to decide between this and my next $300 miniature-based board game!

[@pawelzawadzki7307]

​@@forrest3491 I get you. When I was DM in old times, I was preparing tons of preps, including even music. It was fun as hell :) There is only one disadvantage - it consumes so much time!

[@brandonaskew2428]

During the pandemic I started DM'ing a campaign and built all the player characters, villains and monsters out of minifig parts. It was perfect for customization and immersion. My hope is LEGO continues producing figs past this new minifig series and add-on small modules for extending the game.

[@edburdo]

Castle fans can NEVER be spoiled too much!

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Indeed there could have been way more D&D like being a dungen under a taven with tons of classic D&D monsters... But no it's just a Lego Castle atleast to me.

[@johnmickey5017]

There are like, 8 dnd specific monsters and a tavern that backs into a dungeon. So it does exactly what you asked for.

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

@@johnmickey5017 I mean most of those monesters are just normal Lego things like the lego skelenton for exemple and the dugen isn't the type most played in all edtions of DND.... Honestly it reminds me more of a high level player casle or low level player hub from the first few editions of DND then what most think of with DND from any eidtionj being a grid paper dungeon which they could have made be playable in 5e and the upcoming edtion.... Not have a seperate limited edition normal DND advature... Like it works for a second wave Halo set not a first set of hopefull a theme.

[@logansmith2703]

I cannot afford or justify anything over 100 bucks. So I'm definitely not being spoiled.

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

@@johnmickey5017 Ok just finisehed the video and your right brickbuilt and minifig they have 8 DND creatures) and yeah they did an ok job at doing what we are describing but just still feels more Lego's and WOTCs new creative direction then a Lego/DND set meant to showcase the TTRPG to Lego builders and be used in every session of DND... Like it being a sprawling dungen you play in/with for countless advantures would have been awesome... As apposed to a prop that only really the DM touchs though out a single quest is dispointing especly at $350 when it should have been $200 or so... Like I did a TT wargame MOC for nanofigs using mostly random pick a brick parts just as demo of using lego for TT games It worked out fine... And their are those who also have done similar things more recently for TTRPGs and for DND specficly... Like I said this is ok and works as a fun prop but not a practical game tool.

[@walnutsmcgoo]

Ah yes, the Gelatinous Cube, a classic D&D monster! Think of it as a sentient, hungry blob of jello which is conveniently translucent so as to show off the skeletal remains of its victims as it slowly dissolves them.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Ah yes, nightmare fuel basically 😂

[@Gemini476]

More importantly, it's also a 10ft x 10ft cube that conveniently fills up a standard 10ft-wide dungeon corridor and is conveniently _just_ hard enough to spot that you might walk straight into a living wall of acidic slime. And as for why it (and other assorted D&D slimes, jellies, and oozes) exists... well, they're a handy excuse for why the dungeon is relatively clean and lacks all the junk the DM might have forgotten was left there by other players previously. OD&D even called them "the cleanup crew".

[@sidneysun5217]

@@TiagoCatarinoit's also exactly 1 tile wide, which is how wide a usual dungeon corridor is; leaving u now room to escape as it slowly inches toward you, one square at a time lol

[@fracturedkoi1]

@@TiagoCatarinooh, there’s lots of good nightmare fuel in D&D. Anybody wanna tell him about how horrific an atropal is?

[@flacahoe]

@@Gemini476 It would be awesome if the backstory is a wizard/alchemist created the Cube by modifying an ooze after being tired of dealing with the "heroes''" (more like ransackers, amirite) bodies that were left just lying around. The square shape was just genius, at least that's what the wiz said to themselves after casting Bigby's Hand to pat themselves on the back. The bodies goes away, awesome gear sticks around. Profit. Crappy gear? Chuck it to your rust monster pet, Flaky. She's a young, growing "pup". Skeletons? When the Cube excretes (Everyone Poops) the bones the wiz turns them into the undead guards or finds other uses thanks to a handy Tome of Undead Soups (the bone soup recipe is chef's kiss). The wizard was efficient, to say the least.

[@XaosInDarkness]

As a lego fan for 25 years, and DnD fan for 11 years, this is a day 1 purchase for sure! Genuinely the most hyped for a Lego set I've been for a very long time

Never played it either, but all the hidden features in this set made me smile, and it definitely got me interested in giving it a go.

[@Hether6971]

[@jardex2275]

It's also unique in the fact that it came out of a specific contest, rather than just a general submission. Lego and Hasbro knew they were going to do this collab for awhile.

[@gospideygo6061]

Not gonna lie, this is one of the best Lego sets of all time, like top 10. So much playability and displayability. Basically perfect

For real, as a fan of dnd and lego this is a dream come true

[@rafaszczawinski4103]

I would love to buy just the beholder. Scary and cute at the same time, and one of the most classic DnD monsters ever.

[@henrywarmoth1792]

Just wanted to say that I kind of like the T connectors holding down the wings. Makes me thing of tendons/bones in the wings because dragons in fantasy source materials usually have sinews, muscles, and bones that run through the wings for support so the connectors work for me, at least in my own head cannon.

[@OkayYaraman]

Agreed. Definitely better than the technic pieces that are usually used.

[@MrMcSnuffyFluffy]

I've never played DnD directly, but have played enough games directly inspired by it, over the years, to be a fan. The set looks incredible. Tiago, you give the best reviews, going above and beyond to avoid spoilers.

[@ColdKiller_141]

I was unsure at first but the fact its an adventure makes me more willing to spend the money, i really hope they continue this as a theme with smaller sets that i can use in my actual dnd games, im planning to get the minifig blind bags so i have access to a mini of my character at all times rather than keep ordering off etsy

[@ScottMyersOfTheEarth]

As a life-long D&D player, I love every part of this!!! I'm glad the back is open, too. You gotta be able to turn the model around and see inside, get in there and do stuff. So good!!! Thank you Tiago!!! That red dragon is AMAZING! And all the little secret hidden parts. Like, I can see those myconid, mushroom things, in the bridge. But I did not expect the awakened tree!! Man this is so cool!!!

Supposedly come September there will be Battlepack(s) or CMF for D&D. Hopefully it does give the ability to mix and match to create custom heroes. Would love to see more humanoid monster minifigs as well.

@@TiagoCatarino There is quite a community of people playing D&D with Lego already :) r/LegoDnD for example.

[@elowyn4life]

The last few years Lego has been pumping out incredible sets. I’m always amazed at how much detail they are able to cram in and how difficult the designs of the sets can be.

[@michealhudson5664]

I DM'ed a very short game (only a few sessions) with my brother, wife and nieces, and we used Lego mini figures for our characters and I built a few arenas out of lego's as well. This seems like an obvious no brainer. So cool!

[@nicksincere]

Using Legos for ttrpgs is a no brainer. It's surprising that Lego never partnered with Hasbro to make all sorts of DnD products to be used for playing.

[@NitronF117]

I’ve been toying with the idea of using Lego to build D&D play spaces for a while now. I would enjoy a whole theme dedicated to this concept. I was really impressed that the buildings could be split by floor and the roof easily removed. That’s a great feature for playability.

[@codypeaster1800]

Check out the legodnd subreddit. Have fun

[@prepaidcookie]

As a DM, I love the detail in this model, but would never consider spending that much money for a terrain that could be printed through battle maps or described using theatre of the mind. That beholder and displacer beast would be incredible minis to use ngl.

[@horrorfan117]

I can only imagine how much money lego could make if the sold the individual monsters, and made pieces to build your own characters from. But that might put them in direct competition with WotC, so I won't hold my breath for that.

[@YungGravyOfficial]

@@horrorfan117they have DnD CMF on the way!

[@evergreen7754]

That's the thing though- it's a Lego set first and functioning terrain second

[@dharkann]

It is not a tabletop material, it is a d&d themed lego set with a fun small game as bonus.

[@Vic-Valentine]

since you can take it apart this would have been so cool if it was released as 5 small sets you could put together to make one big if you wanted to, or just enjoy the small set

[@leg0liver194]

Another shortcumming (a real design flaw in architecture world): Remember, this is a PnP, with stats and variants of monsters to choose. So there were 6 sorts of dragons (1974): Green (gas), Red (fire), White (cold), Black (acid), Blue (light), and Gold (fire or gas). By round eyes and brickbuild wings, the original submission offer an option for a prefered dragon color (this calls Open Design principle!). But Lego did a Closed Design. Why not print its eyes on neutral (gray) plate? Or (if commit to non-open) offer 6 color packs.

[@OranG_01]

That’s a bit extra, doubt many people go by this idea Out of all the possible buyers for the set only one or two would actually appreciate that

[@alastairolson3226]

There are more then 6 dragons

[@joraluzmala]

Rest of the set aside, that dragon built looks spectacular. As a dnd and dragon fan, I might get that one

Thanks for the review Tiago! I’m not a D&D fan, but my sister would like this.

[@henrydegroff4282]

No, Tiago. Extremely wealthy castle fans with thousands of dollars to spend on sets have been spoiled. Most castle fans are still waiting for sets that are in any way affordable.

[@palkisakumi8595]

Just look at how Lego is doing financially. Even with all the price increases they are doing better and better each year. So no, it's not just few wealthy people buying, it's vast majority of people who still have plenty of spare cash

[@Colinmchapman]

I’m not sure you know what “vast majority” means…

[@palkisakumi8595]

@@Colinmchapman in terms of Lego community (those who generally buy it, numbering in millions globally), I think that's pretty accurate. you have to start looking at Lego not as a toy, but as a sort of a "drug for adults" (hobby, "investment"), it's no longer a piece of boring plastic for small kids as it used to be 30-40 years ago.

[@Coopernicuss]

I just got mine and can't wait to put it together! Also collected all the D&D mini figs this year so I'll be running a set using this adventure!

[@maxcorrice9499]

What levels is the adventure for? That can give an idea of it’s length, also level 5 characters should really not be going up against a beholder or dragon yet

[@fracturedkoi1]

An entry level adventure it may be, but it’s an entry level adventure with an awesome and useable set piece! Most DM’s don’t have that level of terrain to use in their games and centering a game around something like this is pretty clever!

[@csh182]

I was originally kind of disappointed that they didn’t stick with the original design. (Green Dragon wrapped around tower) But the playability of the set looks fantastic and the minifigures look so good.

[@metroid767]

Has anyone pointed out the striking architecture and layout similarities between the castle and tower to 6097 Dark Lord’s Tower from the Fright Knights? It has the same tall tower with the same number of floors. (There is a fourth floor implied in the dnd set but since it’s ruins, it has crumbled away) The trap door is essentially in the same place. The floor with all the spell books, skull, cauldron, etc-same floor as 6097, implying to be Willa’s study. The protruding bridge and its support arch is the same extended outdoor platform of 6097. The fireplace (that rotates) behind Basil’s throne in 6097 lines up along the wall (albeit shifted more to the side) of the inn’s fireplace here, implying that the inn was constructed around Basil’s old fireplace on the outside of the tower. And the side door on the ground floor of 6097 lines up with the inn’s dungeon entrance. There are warning signs in Medieval Town Square warning of Basil and his dragon. Basil is in this year’s CMF. He could still use these ruins of his tower as a hideout. It’s isolated on a lake away from the Lion Knights and Falcon Knights but obviously close enough that Basil is an imminent threat to the town. So if you want to remove the DnD monsters and elements, this is the ruins of Fright Knight’s tower after a major battle in 1997, cementing its place in the story and timeline of today’s modern castle line. That’s how I see it.

[@ryanbrancaccio7768]

Technic set next please

[@chaz2187]

That set looks incredible. I’m a medieval castle fan and the tower looks good to blend into a medieval scene. But I don’t think I’d get it. Primarily cause of price but also because of its size. After many other large sets, the size of Lego sets is getting tiring. I want to see more smaller collectible builds at more comfortable prices.

[@BrickHQ]

Agreed We need affordable medieval sets! And in general

[@palkisakumi8595]

@@BrickHQ Mountain Fortress from Bricklink series 1 was sold out in less than 3 hours (cost $380, 30k sets produced).

[@lukeanatr]

The beholder looks really cool and I'm kind of impressed with just how many playable features have been jammed into this. I don't think the exposed back is too big of a deal breaker because in most cases this is less for display and more intended to run the adventure with. Definitely one of the more interesting ideas sets I've seen.

[@TiagoCatarino]

I think it's a deal breaker for pure LEGO fans who aren't aware of what D&D is all about. All they'll see is a LEGO model with an open back that "should have been closed off" and that can potentially hurt the sales.

[@darthtool8131]

Im sure a 2x rebrickable version will be along soon to solve the open back of it, though its a very overpriced set compared to medieval market if you go by part's so that will limit this.. Lego really seem to enjoy pricing out their fans.

[@tannerreuland]

Hey Tiago! Long time fan of the channel and your content. Sometimes I agree with a lot of your opinions and reviews, and sometimes I disagree, which is good to have healthy discourse and debate regarding the direction of certain sets created by the LEGO Group. And with this set I’m far disagreeing with the price model of the set. I think using price/piece is not a healthy way to continue gauging whether a set is a practical purchase for a consumer, especially when a set like this is as expensive as it is. And with the advent of newer, smaller, more specific pieces emerge almost monthly, it’s important to question whether the shrinking of size of pieces is indicative to the true value of a part. Transitioning from the commentary about price/piece you comment about the luck of castle fans have had over the last few years, which I completely agree with… except if these fans are able to make enough money to justify the cost of these sets. With the release of Lion Knights’ Castle, Rivendell, Medieval Market, and now this it feels as though the standard price has skyrocketed to an average price of $372.50 USD when the last true wave of LEGO Castle were playsets composing of $15-$100 price points. And understanding that you receive review copies this is not as pertinent to you but could be valuable to expressing to your fans and viewers. While all these sets are truly beautiful love letters to LEGO Castle it is reasonable to want cheaper sets for those lower income families. LEGO is a company that vocalizes its inclusivity quite consistently but it feels as though the less fortunate are left out and completely alienated from the equation. If you read this thank you, I am eager to see what your thoughts are on the current market for these prices, and if you’re another viewer like me please feel free to comment as I am eager to engage in discourse around this!

[@jardex2275]

I'd say this is a perfect collaboration, and potentially the start of a new theme. Lego is the perfect size for D&D, and the announced Minifigure series seems to play into that. We could get more adventure sets like this one, or other accessories, such as a dice tower or microscale terrain tiles. Even packs of buildable monster figures would add to player's collections well. To put things in scale, remember that Lego Minecraft started as an Ideas submission before being officially made by Lego and Mojang. Now look how far it's come since then. Lego and Hasbro could very well do the same with this theme.

[@AH900112]

The box with minus, at 9:42. was that included?

[@silvifenny]

I think the value of the set has a very huge difference if you're or not a D&D fan/player. For a D&D player (and LEGO fan of course) that can recognize all the little details, the easter eggs etc I think it's an incredible valuable set and anyone will mind the price (as D&D fans that spend 50€ (or dollars) on a tiny minifigure, an entire Lego adventure for 360€ is very reasonable ahahahahaha)

[@BrickHQ]

Awesome set, especially for castle fans, minifigures included. Should be cheaper for the size The dragon isn't so posable, so IMO its not necessarily better than Ninjago dragons, its on par with some of them All the castle set are too expensive, so while there's more castle sets, there aren't cheaper options available 9:00 the mimic chest should be widely available and not exclusive to a GWP or insiders reward I want to get into D&D now

[@seaborgium919]

Im gonna come back and say- if you go off the price of Nolzur Minis, the minis + Creatures included in this are worth about 100$. And the dragon is categorically better cause it's (mostly) posable. And people already use Minifigs for their DND minis 🤷‍♂️

Does the set not come with any printed adventure guide, dice and gamesheets though? Bit disappointed if not, but I'm sure I can sort this out.

Wow love this DandD set dragon and minifigs looks awesome great review 👍

[@andrewmartinez4224]

Fun fact the gelatinous cube isnt actually colored. Artists do this to actually show you the creature. Its completely clear

[@jeremychurch5683]

Lucky man! I didn't think I'd be seeing a review of this so soon!

[@ReaperOperator]

I am so excited about this, While lots of people have been running D&D with lego now its now 10000000% offical. I am so excited to see what sets they will come out with.

Im running the lego adventure. i will need to expand the set in my vtt or use something else entirely since i have 8 players. but this video is very useful with me being able to take screenshots to study the layout and to make tokens with the individual monsters and lego figures. i had to keep pausing the video alot but great video and it really shows the set off well.

8:57 not to criticize but to inform as from your accent English isn't your first language dice is the plural the singular is die but even a lot of native English speakers mistakenly use a dice instead of a die so I can see how you got confused

[@legogaming5992]

And I love the green dragon guy so much😭

[@AVA-hu4yf]

The point of the figures is just a reference to help you understand positions and orientation in battle and environments. Otherwise it can be hard to just describe the current locations of everyone relative to each other.

[@kevinhardy8997]

I like it! I’m glad they are trying new IP’s and not just Harry Potter and Star Wars.

[@jamesyhsu]

Great review as always. On the dragon though, I must say Lego butchered the original design, which is way better. The dragon should be the one thing that Lego do not tinker with and I do not understand why they did.

[@SilvaStreamer6130]

wish they brought heroica back bro it would be so awesome

[@BenChurchill76]

Wow...I didn't realize that they went the extra steps to make this an actual playable D&D campaign! That's pretty amazing, and a fantastic way to incorporate a theme...even more so than the LEGO Super Mario theme, since this one doesn't require any special parts or apps; it's all just regular LEGO, but incorporates game elements. Rather ingenious, I have to say!

[@TiagoCatarino]

I know, right?

[@Jestiphur]

I'd never thought there could be spoilers for a lego set. This above and beyond my expectations :o

[@ReubenCornell]

This looks like an amazing set. Just FYI, "dice" is already a plural - so you don't need "dices".

[@nutherefurlong]

Curious if the adventure is standalone or if you need other rules information to run it (Basic rules? Others?). Like if someone who is into D&D already wants to get this to show their group maybe it'd be a nice one-off adventure. Really like all the little secrets, quite a lot for a company that already puts fun secrets in bigger sets. No dice is a bit surprising, especially if it's an entry level adventure, maybe some production hurdle there? Lego's modularity already fits in with the custom nature of the RPG so I'm happy to see this, I hope they'll have less expensive stuff in this theme to experiment with. I guess minifigure blind bags may happen?

[@DerHoschi]

The head of the dragon??? You're sure? And many, many D&D fans will play with this... As I saw the first blurry pictures I was sure it's a Hulkbuster/Black Panther situation.

[@winstonlee1814]

Awesome review and never fails to steer one wrong or hold back! Thank Tiago :)

[@martazedbricks]

I'm not gonna buy this set but I was waiting for this review ❤

[@PurpleBox89]

Love the playability with this set, wish I was more into DnD, honestly, just a brilliant idea all around, you can take that and do your own thing as a DM.

[@bavarianwolf3806]

2024 is the year of castle/Medivaltheme. We also will get 3 new medival theme sets in the bricklink series 5 in feburary 2025.

[@octav1600]

Lovely set and lovely minifigs. The price is a bit spicy (especially since lego fans would have to source other heads to repurpose the minifigs - but no skin on the torsos is great! ) I didn't notice if there are any more prints besides the beholder eyes, owlbear eyes , displacer beast eyes and the mimmic eyes. I hope the 2x1 tiles with spells on them are prints. Those would make up for a great collection of spells for fantasy castle fans.

[@LeFaucheur]

Was wondering if it was worth the 360€. It actually looks pretty impressive next to the lion knight castle. not as big, but it's without all the creatures which include a huge dragon

[@glassjar7814]

This is a very impressive set honestly. Next to the castle theme and LOTR models it will look great

[@alexkull24]

IT'S PERFECT!!! 😍😍😍
