NEW & IMPROVED VERSION OF THIS GUIDE: • The Ultimate Guide to ... Link To LEGO Castle Discord / discord Music: ‘Paradise’ by Jaxius / jaxius Thanks for watching :)
This video is extremely informative and while I have been building my army through Pick a Brick, there are searches that I was not utilizing. Ironically, still expensive in my case😜. Finding horses was difficult, the ones I wanted were animal number 11 assembled. That was not search friendly.
@@monblane493 If you can't use discord then I would recommend searching on PAB by set number. You could go-to set (10305) and find Lion knights, Black Falcons, and the Forestmen under that set. I wish you luck finding some knights.
2:22 Holy heck i'm in a video! But other than that, i can't really buy any of my army building pieces directly from lego, since they don't make crown knights or black knights anymore. But i hope the vid was useful to anyone making an army of falcons, lions, forestmen, or three of the golden castle factions!
Woah! This is what I needed to know, I already have Lego Clone and Droid armies and this was super helpful, I did wanted to know how to look up these pieces for a Knight army thanks man
I thank you for this method so much, i got 20 of the black falcon knights (instead of the falcon shields i bought round silver shields) plus 4 blue feathers and a knight visor for just 61 bucks!
I was about to buy a bunch of stuff from eBay but then I founded this video and you saved my ass. Because now for the same amount of money I'm going to be able to buy better quality minifigures more minifigures and I can actually pick and choose everything that I want instead of having all of these pre-determined listings. So thank you. You have saved me so much money
This was the first video of yours I've seen. I really enjoyed it. Got me thinking about smarter ways to build an army. Specifically hiding plain torsos behind breastplates. So obvious! I just recently, after decades away, have found myself drawn back to Lego. I apparently made the rookie mistake of shopping on eBay. These green dragon knights are expensive! I had one further thought concerning arming your heavy cavalry. I considered what are some characteristics of ravens. I like themes and meaning behind creative decisions. Ravens are very clever, swift fliers, and have sharp beaks/talons. Clever doesn't help weapons unless you're thinking stealth unit. Sharp and swift, though, could be something. Historically, lances are very common. You could add a twist by making the lance/pole arm have a hook. I think the term for this weapon is a bill. This hook would be like a raven's talon. Anyways, that's it. Cool video. Keep up the good work.
Love the ideas with the theming behind the castle factions. It's something that i try and keep in my subconscious when creating lore for my world/factions aswell. I'm leaning towards using the Khopesh for my cav but possibly elongated with some bars.
I have a giant order over $50 of accessories and other things along with the mideval town square in my lego basket. Im just waiting on a gwp or something before i buy it
Oh these are great tips! My personal trick has been, the whole figure is usually more expensive. So what I do is one week buy a bunch of torso from one store, next week do the same but with legs, then go to a random store and start selecting random heads the next week, and so on. It does take a long time I admit, but by the end of the month, bam, a good strong 30 or so men ready to go if I play my cards right. As a side note, it messes me up that lego and bricklink use different names for colors. Is there a logistical reasoning why Bricklink does this? You'd think for better organization they'd go with that official names have been given to each color.
Yo, if you spend $30 or more on their website shipping is free which I think most people might as well just do save up 30 or $40 and then buy everything you want. One bulk order you’ll get free shipping.
They are from the series 20 Collectible minifigure packs. Sadly they are really expensive to buy now adays and i wouldn't recommend anyone collect them because of it. I'm really glad the video helped you and your buddy out :)
Life Saver my Man literally Never knew Pick A Brick Was On Thee Lego my Ego Site. ( I always would skim through Firestar. Once even ordered through them and took me double given their based in the UK. )
The only thing that sucks is that for me, I'm army building the blue lion knights from the 2013 sets which are no longer available. I've come up with a solution however, I've just been switching the black black falcon torsos around and add a ninjago shoulder peice and dark brown mandalorian cape to make more detailed soldiers
They dont have those pieces in my country i havent starded an army yet but im looking on briklink for my separate parts it costs around the same as the 5 knights on ebay but i also added some shoulderplates
Sadly VIPs doesn't account here in Japan. Plus there's no PAB or Bricklink hubs here. So im kinda screwed with that. Especially on Star Wars, i always buy like 3 or 4 battle packs. This is the only way i can build my army instead of spending more on shipping costs from overseas. Great video though. Hello from Japan 🗾🇯🇵
Hi i showed a small tutorial of it in my "medieval siege engines" video but you could probably find a image of the parts you need by searching "how to hide shield in wall" on yt or google.
It seems most of the stuff has been taken off. I don’t know if I just can’t find it or what. I’ve searched the specific piece numbers but it’s just not there.
Hi @Goldfyre when I have a look at an item in the pick-a-brick shop I don't see an option to spin the item around to see it's backside. I even choose item no. 6125711 as you did at min. 2:12 I don't see the "Spin/Static"-Slider, and I don't see the left and right "turning arrows" you are using. What could be the reason?
LOL, they are not scammers but resellers, you don't have to buy from them, but if you do you need to pay for their work. You pay for example for much faster shipping as they already have the parts, in the lego store it takes lot's of time to get the parts (even a month if they are not in 'often bought' category). They also may have some things/parts that lego shop don't have, or maybe you can get free shipping below the lego stors limit.
Thank you for showing how to buy all the parts for cheep i can finally make an etier army of lion knites for cheep never buyin off of ebay when pick a brick is cheper
are the available parts region dependent because my lego site doesn't seem to have the same parts available with only one or two insignificant pieces available
This is a slightly misleading video. You're showing the Black Ravens and Red Falcons at the start, but you cannot get these anywhere other than ebay or over-priced sites. Only the Black Falcons and other castle minifigs can be bought on pick-a-brick. You should have been clear from the start.
@@Goldfyre Then surely the thumbnail should feature the black falcon knights, as those are the ones you can buy on p-a-b. For anyone looking to build an army of Black Raven knights, your video would lure them in. Or was that the intention? Still very misleading.
@@DR-fx5rf I use the raven knights as b-roll and thumbnails because i like them. I can understand where you're coming from but the intention was absolutely not to mislead people. I made this video because i was sick of seeing people getting ripped off by people on eBay overpricing figs from PAB.
I bought most of mine in 2022 for around 12-18 a piece. I honestly wouldn't recommend buying them at their current day price. It's gotten kind of insane over the past year and a half
Oh i completely misunderstood your first comment, my bad! Unfortunately no this only works for parts that are currently in production. Sorry for misunderstanding your question 😅 @@monblane493
Bunch o Bricks, for what i hope will eventually be a Castle, plus some Crusader Pieces, and like a Squad of Vikings which im gonna turn into its own Faction themed with inspiration from Viking/Forestmen/Wolfpack/Bull Knights
Another tip is to buy the castle CMFs before they retire and quadruple in cost 🤣
😂
So true 😂
It's too late now friends😢
Gotta hoard the vampire knights @@leandromoralez9480
Those aren't always available
Good to know, I keep on forgetting Pick a Brick is a thing, much cheaper and easier way to start an army. That cat is adorable btw!
Thank you!
I just love the fluffy cat at the end of the video
Perfect video man. Not too long, and gave all the info needed 👌.
Thank you! I hope the video was helpful. 😊
This video is extremely informative and while I have been building my army through Pick a Brick, there are searches that I was not utilizing. Ironically, still expensive in my case😜. Finding horses was difficult, the ones I wanted were animal number 11 assembled. That was not search friendly.
Yeah LEGO should really redo there UI on PAB. It's not very easy to find what you're looking for unless you know all these weird names and odd tricks.
What do I do if I can’t get discord
@@monblane493 If you can't use discord then I would recommend searching on PAB by set number.
You could go-to set (10305) and find Lion knights, Black Falcons, and the Forestmen under that set. I wish you luck finding some knights.
@@Goldfyre thank you so much this was a good help
Before I saw this video I was I can’t afford collect knights but thanks to you I can
the discord is such a cool resource! just started setting up my table full of lego a few months ago, castle for life 😁
2:22 Holy heck i'm in a video!
But other than that, i can't really buy any of my army building pieces directly from lego, since they don't make crown knights or black knights anymore. But i hope the vid was useful to anyone making an army of falcons, lions, forestmen, or three of the golden castle factions!
I'm so glad you said "fantasy" in the opening because I looked at the thumbnail and then at the "Medieval" title and had a big thinky moment.
Woah! This is what I needed to know, I already have Lego Clone and Droid armies and this was super helpful, I did wanted to know how to look up these pieces for a Knight army thanks man
Thank you so much I made a lion knight army. Very helpful
What an excellent tip. Thank you
Holy geeze! I'm gonna do this for Soldiers Blue Coats!!!
I thank you for this method so much, i got 20 of the black falcon knights (instead of the falcon shields i bought round silver shields) plus 4 blue feathers and a knight visor for just 61 bucks!
Nice! Glad more people are finding out about online PAB.
This is very helpful thanks a lot Goldfyre!
Thanks so much

I had a persian mix, he's in heaven since many years ago, but I still miss his snoring when I sleep!
They're the best, the snoring is so relaxing!
I'm so sorry to hear about yours passing
Where has this been all my life
Love your tips man
I love army building. I tend to stick with 20 or less per faction though. That way I can fully flush out all of them with details
I totally agree. Armies between 10-25 figs usually have the most unique and personal looks.
best vid ever. it helped me so much. thx Goldfrye
I have been using picks brick and pretty much every figure and thing i make including weopons armour and stuff is 2.50
I have a giant order over $50 of accessories and other things along with the mideval town square in my lego basket. Im just waiting on a gwp or something before i buy it
Круто! Мне очень красиво ❤

tbh i wish lego would adopt bricklinks naming convention as they are definitely more commonly used by members of the community.
Oh. My. Gaawwwdd. Game changer friend, thank you so much

100% that's the way to do it
I don't understand why LEGO still doesn't ship to Croatia... we are in the EU... there are lot of us fans here.
That cat 😂
0:55 Where did you find those yellow knights? I love them but cant find them. Fantastic video btw its gonna save me and my friend a ton of money!

The black falcon torso & legs honestly work pretty well for 2013 lion knights.
@@Goldfyredefinitely
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing.

they need to add more knights to PAB

This is something I didn’t know I needed until I had it. Thanks for the video
I already use pick a brick commonly but i just saw a comment saying a cat is gonna be seen
4:44 what method did you use to nestle your shields so comfortably into your walls?
Hi i showed a small tutorial of it in my "medieval siege engines" video but you could probably find a image of the parts you need by searching "how to hide shield in wall" on yt or google.
You are the best you have Saved me so much money Thank you very much keep up the good work
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks man this helped a lot!
Idk i just cant find a specific minifig head i even did the set search thing its just not there and i had show out of stock on...
Im on the discord and how do you get black raven knights on pab
Thank you
For raven army, what sets that i can buy to having the orange cape?
Great video! I just discovered your channel and i love it!
I'm so glad to hear that! I've got lots more coming 😁
Great video as always man! Now if only the tournament knight was in the PAB 😭
That would be a dream!
Thank you very much for the help btw great vid man!
I really appreciate that 😁
Clicked for the guide, stayed for the cat.
Thanks for all the info! so helpful!
Im glad to hear it helped you!
It seems most of the stuff has been taken off. I don’t know if I just can’t find it or what. I’ve searched the specific piece numbers but it’s just not there.
Have you tried ticking the "out of stock" box?
@@Goldfyre yeah. Might just be something on my end but I can only find falcons and red lions.
Unfortunately, the wolfpack torsos aren’t available on pick-a-brick
first and GREAT Vid 👍
Thank you 😁
just got 15 black falcons + some others cool stuff for $35 thx for the help
I'm so glad to hear it! Happy army building :)
fantastic video!
Will pick a brick work for older sets? Say i wanted to build a fright knight army or a Red dragon knights?
Sadly it only works for parts currently in production
Hi @Goldfyre
when I have a look at an item in the pick-a-brick shop I don't see an option to spin the item around to see it's backside. I even choose item no. 6125711 as you did at min. 2:12
I don't see the "Spin/Static"-Slider, and I don't see the left and right "turning arrows" you are using.

very helpful

Is this gonna work for star wars too?
Thank you for showing how to buy all the parts for cheep i can finally make an etier army of lion knites for cheep never buyin off of ebay when pick a brick is cheper
This is amazing🙌🙌
I’m a little late to the comment section but do you think Lego will put the red falcon torsos on pick a brick or do they already have them?
I sadly don't think they will add them to pick a brick.
I fluffing love you
i dont have lego pick a brick i checkit out lots of time im liveing in isreal what i need to do
does this work with retired and/or minifig cmfs?
Unfortunately it does not. Only parts that are currently being produced in non-licensed themes
thanks
I can oreder to an country or its only for usa?
Great video! Where did you get the yellow and black ones from?
Thanks! They're from the series 20 CMF. It's called the tournament knight.
Got it! Thanks for replying so quickly let alone replying at all
Nice
are the available parts region dependent because my lego site doesn't seem to have the same parts available with only one or two insignificant pieces available
I believe the parts list is different between regions
@Goldfyre ah ok thats sad i wont be able to use this method 😭
I wanna build a troll army of the 2006 trolls
I wanna army build empirical guards like the blue coats I have like 9 regular soldiers and 3 purist customs can anyone help me
The problem is pick a brick is not available in my country
Oh man that really sucks. If you have access to Bricklink in your country then that would be your second best option.
Who is cat?

Oh i completely misunderstood your first comment, my bad! Unfortunately no this only works for parts that are currently in production. Sorry for misunderstanding your question 😅 @@monblane493
grat help
Could you buy red falcon parts on pick a brick
Unfortunately you cannot. Your best bet is to buy the torsos on bricklink.
Waiting for my PickABrick Order atm😅
Nice! 😁What'd you get?
Bunch o Bricks, for what i hope will eventually be a Castle, plus some Crusader Pieces, and like a Squad of Vikings which im gonna turn into its own Faction themed with inspiration from Viking/Forestmen/Wolfpack/Bull Knights
@@milleniumsword1558 Great picks! I love the viking torsos. They're super versatile for different factions.
I wonder why this works for the Lion Knights Castle but not other sets with minifigures. Is it because these figures are more generic?
Lego PAB has minifigure parts from a lot of their in house themes (monkie kid, ninjago, & friends)
@@Goldfyre ah yeah upon further research i saw the same for the modular buildings. no luck for star wars or LOTR haha
Pick a brick is not available on all country
I guess lego has caught onto the fad of lego castle. Any minifig parts that were on pick a brick are unlisted.
They should be coming back to PAB soon
I guess all the listings are gone 😞
A tip he didn't say, if you like money in your bank account, pretend the older castle factions don't exist!
😂 best tip tbh
