Love it! Lots of great ideas for laboratory spaces in this MOC.

Big time video game vibes from this MOC for me, I like it. The statues are super cool, really like the head/helmet design!

Wow! Very clearly a dwarven locale with the stonework and especially those massive columns, my favorite "dwarven" detail is the angular pattern you achieved in the railings with the slopes. Love all the action going on throughout with lots of little scenes to discover. But, (again) wow--that statue could very, very easily be an amazing standalone MOC!

Nice! Rock and snow is well done, but the trees really sell the cold scene to me for some reason. Trees without leaves are hard in Lego form because the typical/historical leaf pieces also function as all the little branches out from trunks and major limbs. I how simple your trees are here, but also how well they work.

I really like the light/colors from the stained glass window hitting the left wall in this picture. Something I want to play with in the future! The build itself is well executed, lots of nice details scattered throughout but still fairly bare to really dial up that somber "perspective". Nice work!

Two perfect factions to oppose each other! The crumbling aqueduct is well done and the clear bar elements are are really cool solution to a waterfall.

I like the forced perspective here; it really sells the scale of the castle itself.

Great job with the beast! Parts selection and shaping in the body are really fantastic.

Great MOC! I dig the different styles of half-timber structure and of course the jesters doing their jolly thing bring the necessary life to the build. Cobblestone work is perfection for me here and the lower camera angle sells the overall immersion. Cool stuff! I do have a suggestion related to "MOC post-processing"--get some selection of dark and earth-tone construction paper or cardstock to cut and fill in the areas behind the windows in the facades. Easier than dealing with the photo editing to eliminate the bright background showing through windows and you're 100% sure no light is going to leak through single stud width walls if you've got those in a build. And, it's fast to achieve.

Nice work with the timber section, using the window and door pieces is a great solution for the internal structure and I really like your integration of the dark brown log pieces.

I love this dark Nocty take on an Advent calendar! The builds are fun individually before combining into the three larger scenes, and each of those are excellent.

Love how this calendar came together at the end!

Very cool vig! Nice use of a variety of parts to achieve all the water effects, and the sense of motion the cart has is great.

I received my box of these over the weekend and can definitively say after assembling them that this CMF series (and the space one!) is really, really good! Very happy to have multiples of each in my collection, whereas the vast majority of CMF series only have 1 or 2 for me. Now yes, as primarily a castle and space MOCer, this totally makes sense. But the quality of these is just awesome. Favorites: Gith Warlock Tasha Dragonborn Paladin Weakest: Halfing Druid - the antlers co-molded in are annoying, but Lego clearly is trying to reduce its use of the plumage pins that they had in the '80s-'00s for stuff like the Black Knights / Dragon Knights dragon plumes. Bar connectors might have looked weird for a hood, but oh boy would Lego-OEM antlers with a bar connection be amazing! Elf Bard - I get it, but this fig just doesn't fit in with the rest of the series' color pallet. A more muted scarf & gloves (dark orange, regular blue, regular green pearl gold even) would have pulled it back in line with the rest and still been separate enough to give some flamboyance that a performer ought to have while being more useful for MOCs. Strahd is weird for me, his legs printing especially, but also the torso are styled in a way that screams "Marvel minifigure superhero suit!" to me. Going to be more difficult to blend these elements into a medieval MOC for me perhaps. It's also kind of annoying that his head is not white like the rest of Lego's vampires--though this is a direct consequence of adhering to the source material and that's usually a good thing.... Parts of note for me: Lute - Another color/print = awesome. Lady of Pain's headdress - I can't say I'm really a D&D afficionado, so without being deeply invested in the source material, I think this headgear could easily work in something like an Adventurer's build as a relic, statue part, or enemy as I don't see it first as "Lady of Pain". Szass Tam's head - we've got a tan skeleton head for these, nice! Aarakocra wings - Definitely going to be useful for MOCing. Dragon familiar - This thing is great! Hope it comes in other colors in the future. As was stated earlier in this thread, this can easily be used for architectural stuff if it comes in greys/tans/whites. Mace head - Great detailing part, hope we get more colors! Great job Lego! When are you releasing the CMF DD&DD Series 2? I love the extra heads and I hope they continue! At absolute minimum, for MOC builders, more elements for the same price* is probably going to be embraced with open arms. Much easier to populate an MOC with heads that aren't the same this way IMO. I also love that none of these torso designs have any "v-neck shirt" printing, so we can swap heads around between complexions, races, species, monsters, aliens, robots, etc. without having to deal with a weird color mismatch. *Well, at least the sting of CMFs going up in price since they started is less annoying with this set.

Nice little "scout"-sized vehicle for the Stingrays. Kind of an equivalent to this one: https://brickset.com/sets/6125-1/Sea-Sprint-9 Love it!
