    Really good video lost of awesome sets! I'm a huge fan of the D&D cmf and am preparing to use them in an actual game soon! I built the 3-in-1 castle too, it was super fun! I especially liked seeing all the different mocs people made using it's pieces.

    It’s been great following your journey into Lego this year!
    My Top 5 Minifigures of 2024:
    #5 D&D CMF Elf Bard
    #4 Tapestry Maker torso from Medieval Town Square
    #3 CMF Series 25 Goatherder
    #2 CMF Series 25 Vampire Knight
    I’ve got something special in store for this guy when the Bricklink winner set Adventures in Transylvania comes out.
    #1 Wolfpack torso on PAB
    Can’t wait to get the Beastmaster CMF coming out in 2025 in order to expand my Wolfpack faction
    Best Set of 2024 for me:
    Harry Potter: Forbidden Forest: Magical Creatures
    I’m not a Harry Potter fan at all, but I loved the blue tree limb elements in this set, along with the glow in the dark spider, spider web, lantern, and mushroom tops.
    Plus the Hippogriff is amazing!!! I’ve got a whole faction now that rides the Hippogriffs. And the cute yet mischievous looking bright blue pixy is such a great addition to my world.
    There were sets from previous years that were still available this year that made a major contribution to my Lego creations:
    The Medieval Blacksmith,
    Friends Botanical Garden,
    Viking Village,
    Ideas Tree House, and
    Creator 3-in-1 Medieval Castle!
    My favorite faction, the Black Falcons! What a great parts pack for building your own creations. I got a whole bunch of these myself too.
    Can’t wait to see what unfolds for you this year coming up!
    All the best! Keep on building!

    For me the best sets I built this year were actually all from competing brands: the Pantasy Baker Street modular, Cobi 1:35 Flammpanzer with winter camo, and the Funwhole Skate Shop, Medieval Watch Tower, and especially their Cyberpunk Apartment. The competing brands have gotten so good and are usually so much cheaper than Lego that Lego faded into the background this year, with just a few sets built.

    I loved seeing your top five. I, like you, think that Strahd and the warlock are underrated. The warlock has particularly useful parts, even down to his accessories in those cool new knives and the staff pieces, which I find useful in other weapons and builds. We don’t have a lot of Lego elf ears, especially in yellow, so he’s great for that.
    I love Strahd for noble minifigures, though I do find that there’s a limit to how many of his parts it makes sense to use. If every other figure on the street has elegant red and blue clothes, they’re suddenly not so special, but they’re fantastic when used sparingly. And agreed, his sword and cape are great to use. Also, I turn the cups upside down, place a transparent stud and a matching transparent round tile on the mouth of the cup, and a tan or gold stud for a cork on the anti stud side of the cup to make a potion. I’ve collected enough of the figure to make a dozen potions for use in DnD games.
    His rat is also great, because you can have a bunch of them attack players in a DnD game. I love it when you get a character and a monster for one price!

    Strad has become Princess Velora (with the female head of a Lions Knight), Daughter to Basil, who she a warrior also became a vegetarian, and for his love for her all the land became the fruit bats! . I got the fortress too, saving for the right time. I do wish it would just hand around in some warehouse so that when other ships are released people may take interest. The original was the most played with in its intended form of any kit along with the baracuda.

    My choice for sets, I can't differentiate between Elderado fortress, viking village and medieval town square. My favourite CMF is the falconer and Orc. The D&D ones are great though. Keep up the great videos Thom love them. Happy New year.

    • @tbsince1954
      @tbsince1954  Месяц назад

      I have both the Viking Village and Town Square. I'm sure I would have had them in the mix had I managed to get them built in 2024. This year for sure. And I agree on those two minifies--they are great! Cheers!

    I am a large Star Wars collector with over 12000 mini figures cataloged on brick set and this years best fig for me is the Vader Ghost fig from the Dark Falcon . Bit actually that entire set is amazing and also a great investment in my eyes. Also the new Endurance ship is off the charts!!! Amazing pice and priced very well for size and build

    • @alanhorkan
      @alanhorkan Месяц назад

      Not a ghost, Lego calls that minifigure "Jedi Vader" and it is almost certainly inspired by the Dark Horse comics "Star Wars Infinities" story where Vader survives the second Death Star is redeemed and gets a new white suit.

    I think the 3in1 Medieval Castle is probably the best and “most useful and adaptable set”, Lego has made in years. I bought two sets and together with many of my on castle inventory of pieces, I made a large u inquest castle that is the center piece of my Medieval layout in my Lego room. I was sad to learn that Lego decided late in 2024 that they were discontinuing this set. I really hope they decide to. Ring it back, or replace it with something even better. I with I had bought about 10 of them. 👍🎄🎉🇨🇦

    @danielmcbride6413 Месяц назад

    The dungeons and dragons cmf series was one of the coolest things to come out of Lego for castle and fantasy fans in a long time. The timing was perfect for me too. I got into Lego pirates pretty seriously in 2020 with Pirates of Barracuda bay. I’d liked castle and pirates going up but never had any Lego sets from those themes; I just improvised with parts from build a minifigure and built my own castles and pirate ships out of loose brick. Suddenly I could buy a pirates set, so I did. If El Dorado fortress had come out in 2021, I probably would’ve bought it, but it didn’t, the medieval blacksmith did, so I started getting really onto castle and using PAB online to army build. I was able to get a lot of red falcon knights from BAM and buy some used Lego that included old knights, and that really propelled my castle collection toward where it is today. This year I started playing DnD after being suspicious of it for a long time, so the timing converged perfectly. I had lots of other armor, weapons, and minifig parts with which to customize the DnD figures I ended up buying. I’ve bought enough that I don’t think I’ll ever look back and say, “ah, I wish I’d bought more of___” or “oh, I need to buy that one from Bricks and Minifigs.”
    I really hope Lego sees the series’ success and makes more DnD or castle fantasy inspired cmfs and sets. I know the cmf line and ideas set were for the anniversary of DnD, but A DnD wave of sets would be amazing. Battle packs of orcs and goblins, $15 horse and cart, $30 modular dungeon rooms, $60 tavern, $100 final boss large dungeon room play set, etc. Sets that are playable in game AND are playable as toys.

    My favorite figure today is my Grand Moff Tarkin figure since I have been using him as my President but still use Grand Moff as my leader of Lego Island. With this figure, I had him riding on my roller coasters, on trains, on sailboats, and many other things.

  • @octav1600

    Figs: - my favorites were clearly the 12 DnD CMFs and the Dreamzzz villains. The pirates / soldiers from eldorado are noce as well.
    5. Still hunting for the Jungle sets on discount. Love the Johny Thunder
    4. Orion - I consider it was medium fig from there (but the shield and club are nice, same as the armor). I like the Iceplanet and M-Tron space minifgs better. Buggoid has some potential as well.
    3. Vapire - honestly any of these could have made the list (heck - all 12 could have been the list) - Still regret not getting more of each
    2. Warlock with yellow ears, daggers, eyes and the torso are all great.
    1. Dragon born Paladin - clearly the best parts-wise. Good looking too unless you prefer something more dexterous. Head can be mounted on a wall as trophe or decoration. got 24 of these ... still wanted 30, but the game is over.
    Sets: - my favorites were clearly all the space sets. Haven't built an entire series since Nexo Knights.
    2. Eldorado - I agree, one of the best sets of the year. I wonder why it remained only for 12 months
    1. 3 in 1 Castle is great - but I find it a bit too simplistic compared to the BIG Lion's Knights Castle. We can only hope the rumored 3 in 1 Creator Castle replacement for this will be a tad better complexity / quality (and have more minifigs and a horse - this was really hurting it - a castle without a horse / Knight).

    Expected winners from a Castle fan perspective:)
    I want to note one more minifig from D&D CMF. It's Tasha the Witch Queen. I like her basic withchy look (I even put one on my shelf as is), and her torso is useful for any rogue and assassin characters. But the whole D&D CMF was great and very versatile, with the addition of some accessories like helmets and weapons, it allows you to create almost any medieval fantasy character (have you tried to attach bard's legs to the aarakocra's body? They look together so well like it was designed to fit each other)
    As for sets, I haven't bought a lot of them this year. But I became interested in Jungle Explorers subtheme and I want to note Jungle Explorer Off Road Truck. First of all, the cave entrance (the sidebuild from this set) could also be used in D&D setting. And the truck itself is quite good looking for me. Plus it gives one more Johnny Thunder minifig

    Great video and Happy New Year!! You seem to love the castle theme. I was wondering how many copies of 31120 do you own? I have 4 copies of 31120. I plan to combine 3 of them to build one of the rebrickable models. I highly recommend you splurge on the Lion Knights Castle. It's an unbelievable set. Arguably one of the best Lego has right now. I wish you the best in 2025.

    • @tbsince1954

    My top five Minifigures for this past year. I'm going to have to go to some of the same wells you did. Johnny thunder is definitely in there because I grew up on Lego adventure sets and he was my favorite character as a kid. I think the orc rogue from the D&D Castle is fantastic. All the space ones were great, but I really liked the beetle alien. And from D&D for variety's sake, after your list I will go with the halfling druid, And the tiefling sorcerer. (Orion from space in warlock from D&D are also pretty high up for me).
    My favorite build from this past year is a toss-up. I had the privilege of building both Rivendell and the D&D Red dragon's tail Castle and both were just phenomenal. At a more affordable level The space science lab and interstellar spaceship sets were both out of this world (pun intended) haha And the Ninjago tournament Battle arena was really great as well. I've seen a lot of good things about the dragonstone shrine and I'm hoping to pick that up at some point too.

    • @tbsince1954
      @tbsince1954  Месяц назад

      I had a really hard time with the mining. I just love the Halfling, and was going to bounce Orion out for that (love the beetle alien too!) but decided I should look outside of the D&D CMF line for at least two. But I hear you. Hard to choose.
      I love the look of the Space Series. I have a small build, but that lab looks really cool. As much as I really want the Rivendell set, it's a space issue for me (which is why I really hope Lego makes some smaller LOTR sets soon!) Plus, I have that D&D Castle in the wings.
      Thanks for your thoughts! What a fun problem to have!

    • @JLD22591
      @JLD22591 Месяц назад

      @@tbsince1954 oh, the space issue is real for the Rivendell set. My getting it was a big surprise and I adored building it. I adore the full display, but I have nowhere to put it. The angle for the third section makes it look fantastic, but it is hard to put it on a shelf. Right now it's on my mantel and two parts. Well I try and find shelving that will fit it.

      Thanks, David. The saga of my facial hair seems to have an established journey. I get clean shaven to play Dickens performing his CHRISTMAS CAROL just about every year, and that requires the hardship of a Vesuvius of spirit gum to hold on the beard and mustache. After that my skin needs to recover, so I grow the full beard out, just to give myself a break and for the novelty of pretending I'm Bernard Shaw. Then, after a time, it finds its way back to just the goatee, where in remains until the end of November, when the cycle continues. If you are curious about how I look in the full Dickens, check the community page on this channel. I'll post a picture. Cheers!

Johnny thunder is a solid call out though. I use the Orion fig as a summoned avatar for my dwarf cleric btw. anyway on another note, very curious sir as to what got you started on your lego journey?

    • @tbsince1954

      I got started because my son was visiting from Berlin and we wanted to build together. But then I began thinking that maybe as a senior I was getting as much benefit from Lego as youngsters were, and so I made a video, “Is Lego Good for Seniors?” And kept building and making videos because I was having such a good time! Cheers!
