D&D General Official Lego Set for Dungeons & Dragons Coming Soon

Lego announced the release of the officially licensed Dungeons & Dragons build set Dragon’s Keep: Journey’s End.

The 3,745 piece set includes a partially collapsed tower, a castle wall, and a tavern with removable roof. For characters, the set has six minifigures for a Dwarf Cleric, Gnome Fighter, Orc Rogue, Elf Wizard, and an NPC Dragonborn and Innkeeper. You’ll also build models of Cinderhowl the Red Dragon (who can also be perched on top of the tower) plus a beholder, a displacer beast, and an owlbear.

A free adventure will also be available from D&D Beyond and the Lego website on April 1st as a digital download making use of the terrain. To celebrate the release, Lego will host a live stream of the adventure with Anjali Bhimani (Ms. Marvel, Overwatch 2), Ginny Di (YouTuber and cosplayer), Luis Carazo (Candela Obscura, Outbreak: Undead Rag & Bone), Jordon Scott (LEGO Designer), and Lucas Bolt (designer of this set, see below) on April 6, 2024, at 12 noon Eastern.

The set was designed by Lucas Bolt aka BoltBuildz as part of the Lego Ideas program in a contest launched in 2022. The winner was announced in January 2023 with a preview of the set. As part of the contest, Bolt will receive 1% of net sales of the product, complimentary copies, a D&D prize package, and other considerations.

The set will be available for sale starting on April 4, 2024, for a retail price of $359.99.

Oh, LEGO, that is a great April Fool's joke!

Yeah...that's what lego costs. No one is being forced to buy it.

And I spend a LOT more than that on Dwarven Forge.

To be honest I do think it is an investment. It’s almost indestructible if used as intended and stored safely.

This. Especially if you make it permanent (e.g. gluing the pieces together), LEGO structures are extremely sturdy. It's part of why stepping on the bricks with bare feet hurts so much!

Reminds me of the FFXIV LEGO Crystarium sculpture they like to show at Fan Fests.

Gluing Lego is anathema to me.

Gluing Lego is anathema to me.

I mean, if the purpose of it is to be a sculpture you keep in storage and bring out only for special occasions, you're never going to be doing anything else with those pieces.

$350+ LLLLLOOOOOOLLLLLL

Still cheaper than the castle from last year and close to the price of the LotR tie in.

How about splitting the pieces and starting over?

How about splitting the pieces and starting over?

I'd imagine it would depend on how long it takes to put together. A couple hours' work might be fine, but if it takes days to complete then I think it would lose its luster quickly.

I thought the gluing of Lego in the movie was a joke, some people do that?!?!

The set is soexpensive, I'd love to have it, but it's not going to happen.

As mentioned, even with the expense, Lego is good value. That is, if the quality is as good as the stuff from my childhood. My stuff is around forty years old, extensively played with by myself, my kids, my nephews, nieces, younger cousins etc etc. And mostly still in great condition. I've not had any new Lego for decades, so maybe quality had dropped?

Obviously helmets are like this

Gluing Legos is blasphemy. Yes, i know some do it. But for me, it's no no. I still have my old childhood legos, most of them 25-30y old and extensivley played with by me, my younger brother, younger causins, my friends kids when they come over.

Give kids bucket of legos and enjoy 2-3 hours of piece to hang out with parents.

In that light, 360$ isn't bad deal.

One diference i see is that new lego minifigs have more elaborate printings than old ones and those prints have more potential to wear out by extensive play. Older figs were more basic.
