This is 2 moc builds on rebrickable from creator LegoLot. I say it was rough because the instructions weren't great, and the inventory list was pretty bad (leaving me with way too many unneeded pieces, but somehow many, many missing pieces that I had to dig around my spare parts to find and make modifications to complete). So that was a frustrating part of the build. I can't really say it's the most stable build either, but it's really beautiful when finished and assembled. I had to make a few modifications, and added some additions to the gate portion. I have a little bit of tweaking to do yet, but like the way it turned out!

High king Jorald and his lady set off with the royal guard from falcons peak castle.

So I’ve got one Viking village already built. I’m trying to decide what to do with my second one. I’ve always wanted to do the expansion moc by lux bricks, but I’d also like to add the kraken knights to my world at some point, and they’ll need a home. I really like the kraken keep moc by dream build. I’ve found a decent viking village expansion on amazon that I like, but I’m so torn.

If you were me would you:

A) Build the large expansion for the viking village and find a smaller moc to part out for my future krakens

or

B) Order the smaller Viking expansion and save my other one for the kraken keep?

My Vikings are fighting off the Midgard serpent on their way to go raid the medieval town Square ha, I need to make my Viking village soon and desperately need to acquire a lion knights castle in the future ! I forgot how fun this could be. I have a few sets, but this is the first one that I feel like I could actually kind of play with and that’s pretty funny as an almost 38-year-old man.🤣🤘🏻

I decided to build the Alchemist's Shop using only the LEGO pieces from my own collection. So far, it's going pretty well, but I think it's going to get much more challenging later on !

I'll probably make a quick trip to the LEGO Pick a Brick wall for a few specific sections. Funny enough, I stopped by just before starting this project without knowing what I'd need, and it actually helped me with quite a few parts !

I have a feeling recreating the big potion bottle will be impossible, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. There are still a few mismatched details to fix (like the window cornices at the back of the building), but so far the build has been incredibly satisfying.

Has anyone else tried building this set using only their own spare bricks?

I’m not too familiar with how Lego ideas works, but I remembered seeing this a couple years ago and thought it was great. What are the possibilities of resubmitting ideas? (Build by PeterGKeith)

I got it Friday night. I'm finishing my LKC and then I'll stay building this. I've never built a BrickLink before. Has anyone else built one? Any suggestions on instructions or slight enhancements are welcome!

Bought Lego on marketplace. There is a lot, and many newer themes I’m not familiar with (like Chima(?) Started to sort out minifigs and weapons/armour that looked like castle-themed. I feel like I did pretty good. There was a lot of ninjago as well, and some older Harry Potter/marvel.

Looking forward to going through the rest, but how did I do so far? Payed like 100dollars, was 35kg of unsorted Lego.

Built fore the Summer Joust 2026 (online contest from June 1 to 31th of July)

Second large MOC mostly complete, very happy with the way it turned out, would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on it :)

So many where on my wishlist for a long time, cave troll, King Theoden, Eomer, knight and horse barding from 7187. I'm very happy i could get them from one lucky haul :)

I just got this a few days ago and went I moved the legs that’s when I started to notice them.
