Great point! Might I add that having this set in general release (Target, Walmart, etc) would have also attracted many casual LEGO fans. Small enough to not be overly expensive (mass appeal). Retro enough to inject some needed nostalgia that might push some people out of their dark ages… you know “buying it for my kid” 😉 -
If the forest hideout doesn’t resurface when the castle is released, I will definitely be holding off on purchasing it. Must have something to show for spending $400. I was counting on the gwp to offset the high price. Guess I’ll be saving some money this month. If there is another great gwp or triple vip points (joke) or sale or something else that comes up before Christmas, I may eventually get the castle. By then, however, LEGO may increase the price to $500 (joke?)

This gwp may or may not be back. I’m rooting for yes. Unfortunately, if it doesn’t resurface when the castle is released, I will definitely be holding off on purchasing it.

Minifigure Factory (beta) just started here in US, but I have not seen the online BAM yet. Is this still going to be a thing? Possibly the online build a minifig would help me to have a more affordable option to populate my castle sets, not that 10305 lacks Minifigures but it is a $400+ battle pack 😂

For me this set may come down to “what am I willing to part with?” To free up display space and help pay the $400+ price tag, I can sell my classic castle 6086 (something I don’t want to do) Or I keep saving my money and hope this set is still available in 6 months or a year from now. Anyone have a good guess as to the shelf life of this set? If it sells out in a week (or less) will it ever be re-stocked? Will I be able to buy this around Christmas time? Maybe see this set at Target or online? Hoping it sticks around awhile… speaking as an AFOL that is strapped for cash at the moment.

I agree. Not sure about this decision by LEGO. As a result, poor Wiz may stay in the box. Recently picked up the BAM Wizard, curiously he has full printing and is also blue. Wonder if this set will eventually suffer from the dreaded price increases that are happening to other sets? Say before Christmas maybe? Hope not but makes you wonder. 🤔

For what it’s worth, my ranking is reflective of my love of all things classic castle. The recent castle theme revival of BrickLink and LEGO sets has me entering a new “dark-age” (or should I say “medieval-age”) for LEGO. I’ve included my favorite set for each faction as well. 1- Lion Knights / 6080 King’s Castle 2- Forestmen / 6066 Camouflaged Outpost 3- Black Falcons / 6074 Black Falcon’s Fortress 4- Black Knights / 6086 Black Knight’s Castle 5- Wolfpack / 6038 Wolfpack Renegades

It looks like the back of the box has dimensions of the castle (when closed) can’t read the centimeter numbers due to them being fuzzy… does it say 17.5in base and 14.5in height? What might that expand to once the set is opened up? Asking for a friend who needs a place to display this. :)

Must have this! Looks like I’m going to be selling a good amount of my collection to be able to afford this. From the images, it might be worth it. How fast will this sell out when first listed? Will VIPs have first access to it? Love the accessories and the figures. The wizard however looks rather plain. Great set. Hope it ushers in more castle sets in the future!

Looks great. Thanks for the picture!

Can you (or anyone else) please share a picture of this. Very curious of how it’s done and what the final modification looks like. Hoping to get this set soon. Thank you.

Found them at (of all places) a fabric store. Got the ones I wanted (and got the ones my kids wanted too). After opening them up they were better than I expected. I had to go back and find the rest to complete the set. They are extremely well done. Can’t wait to create a Veterinarian’s Hospital MOC, just working out a couple details for the build. It would be amazing if LEGO gave us a second Muppets series wave! Fingers crossed.

Any luck we see these in April, or will we have to wait until May? (or June, or…)

Went on the site to browse, everything was in £ Luckily I was able to figure out how to switch back to the US site. That hasn’t happened to me before. Must be a glitch in the new system.
-
Wow, No squirrels or acorn tiles. Glad I ordered some before this. Hate to see what other pieces I want are now gone. Not sure how I feel about the new system yet. Not a good start.
-
Any idea how long this B&P upgrade will take for those of us in NA? On the bright side got 2 orders delivered today. A couple squirrels of each color (had to place two orders several days apart to get all 3 colors) plus a handful of acorn round tiles. Just waiting for my order of CMF castle crown coins to come so I can fill up a treasure chest or two in my recently arrived Castle in the Forest. My 11 year old built it and these coins will add to its playability.

Speaking for those of us who can’t stand Avatar, akin to Star Wars fans feelings for JarJar Binks, we are not trolls for stating our opinions. I personally would be spending a ton of $$ if it was confirmed LEGO Indiana Jones sets would once again be released. I know for a fact that I will spend ZERO $$ on Avatar.

We can easily get to another 12! 1Scooter, 2Sam the Eagle, Finish the Electric Mayhem band; 3Dr Teeth, 4Zoot and 5Floyd - Pigs in Space; 6Link, 7Dr Strangepork & 8Piggy, 9Crazy Harry, 10Lew Zealand w/fish, 11Beauregard (or George the Janitor) 12Newsflash Guy, 13 Walter, 14Deadly, smaller ones like Pepe, Rizzo, Robin, or big figs like Sweetums… not to mention variation possibilities like Veterinarian’s hospital (Rowlf, Janice, Piggy) or Constantine. So to say they couldn’t do a second wave with big/popular characters is just not true.
