LEGO IDEAS REVEALS MEDIEVAL SET STARRING THE UNSUNG HERO OF THE MIDDLE AGES – THE HONOURABLE BLACKSMITH

LEGO Ideas has taken a leaf out of the history books with the design of its latest set, a charming Medieval Blacksmith’s house. The new set is based on an original design by an avid LEGO builder, which achieved over 10,000 votes from LEGO fans worldwide – giving it the green light to go into production.

LEGO superfan Clemens Fiedler originally submitted the concept to LEGO Ideas; a LEGO initiative that takes new ideas that have been imagined and voted for by fans and turns them into reality. The LEGO Ideas® Medieval Blacksmith set harks back to a time when cottage industries and artisans were the cornerstone of society and was brought to life by LEGO designers Wes Talbott and Austin Carlson.

When thinking of medieval times, the focus is normally on the kings and queens, knights and ladies, their castles and the battles between good and evil, but this new medieval set has an unexpected twist showing the unsung hero of those epic battles and adventures – the humble Blacksmith.

True to the era, the LEGO® Ideas Medieval Blacksmith set includes bold period design features from the timber framed walls to the gothic lattice windows, providing much intrigue and interest to fans of medieval architecture.

The LEGO® Ideas Medieval Blacksmith set is positioned in enchanting grounds, featuring a well-stocked cottage-style garden complete with squash patch and a gnarly apple tree, while the brickwork is tinged with moss for added realism.

The inside is set over three separate floors which are fully furnished and equipped with everything a medieval blacksmith would need. Interior items include stocks of raw materials, coal to keep the furnace hot, and a bellows complete with lightbrick to make the coals glow. The roof and top two levels can be removed for easy viewing of the inside.

Further setting the scene, the LEGO Ideas® Medieval Blacksmith set is completed with the inclusion of four minifigures: a blacksmith, an archer and two Black Falcon Knights with four swords, three shields and a halberd. Several animals can be found in the grounds outside the house, including a horse to pull the knight’s supply cart, a pet dog and a small tree frog.

Clemens Fiedler commented: “I love building classical house designs and honouring all the great attention to detail you can recreate with LEGO elements – especially medieval architecture styles, colours and design. I hope fellow LEGO fans will enjoy traveling back in time; sense the heat, sounds and smells from the forge and anvil and soak up the atmosphere of this classical creative craft as they build the set.”

Samuel Thomas Liltorp Johnson, Design Manager at the LEGO Group commented: “Designing the LEGO® Ideas Medieval Blacksmith set has been an exciting journey, taking us back hundreds of years to celebrate one of the true heroes of the Middle Ages. Telling the story of the blacksmith caught our imagination, and the rest was history.

“We loved the idea of creating a small blacksmith’s house on the outskirts of the medieval world, where every knight goes for a set of shining armour. Without doubt, fans will be fascinated by the workings of the forge, the architectural details and the characters they find there when they build this set.”

The new LEGO® Ideas Medieval Blacksmith set is the latest example of how the LEGO Group aims to inspire builders of all ages to build, rebuild and get excited by the process of creation.

The LEGO Medieval Blacksmith Set is on sale on LEGO.com and in LEGO Retail stores from 1st February.

Inside, all levels are connected by a grand staircase and are stocked with uniquely designed pieces including a billboard, telephone and a typewriter. The ultimate Easter Eggs and clues to solving the mystery of the Donut thief come in the form of a hidden escape route beneath the jail cell and a secret access route to the Donut shop.

Fans of Batman and avid builders are in for some serious fun as they embark on their journey to construct the ultimate Super Hero vehicle in the LEGO® DC BATMAN™ collection.

Nielsen said: The emblematic set truly takes fans on a journey, as they immerse themselves into Gotham city and get hands-on with the set, using Batman, The Joker™ and Boombox goon minifigures to relive their favourite moments from the film. Fans can even create the infamous scene when The Joker barges in on the Dark Knight and utters his classic words “have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?”.

The official visual of Night At The Museum MOC

Hi friends, i continue to work on the visuals for the MOC and the brickfilm. Do you like the poster create in real brick ? You can also support the project on Lego Ideas https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a8bf1477-bc79-4367-8c11-b0bb68dd0cb4

Night At The Museum, The Original on Lego Ideas

When night falls, the delirium begins !

Real reproduction of the New York City’s American Museum of Natural History, you have 3 fully playable levels to relive all the scenes of the film. The proportions of the facade and the grounds of the square are faithfully reproduced.
Building dimensions: Length 38.5cm x width 15cm, Height 35cm

Characters :
Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) the Guardian, Dr McPhee (Ricky Gervais) the Museum Director, the mummy of the pharaoh Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek), Theodore Roosevelt (Robin Williams) the equestrian wax statue of the 26th President of the United States, Sacagawea the Indian, the bronze statue of Christopher Columbus, Attila the Hun, the man of Neanderthals, the miniatures of Octavius and Jededdiah, Dexter the capuchin monkey, a dinosaur, the two statues of Anubis and of course the statue Moai from Easter Island Gum Gum!

The idea of this project:

I made the decision in February 2019 to start producing (brickfilm) stop motion animated films and for my first project I created this version of the brick film in December 2019. I had the opportunity to show the follow-up of my construction and share the photos on different media. Thank you to those who have commented and carefully followed my work …
It was quite natural that I thought from the start of this Night at the museum film for my first project because it brings together the historical Lego universes that we adore and that made us dream so much, the pharaohs and the pyramids, the dinosaurs and prehistory, Indians and cowboys and the cult soldiers of Fort Legoredo!

The typical building of the streets of New York can take place quite naturally in your City universe next to, for example, the Ghostbusters HQ, which is exactly the same height 35cm.

Playability:

For the purposes of my film which will soon be launched in production, everything had to be mobile and playable.
So the dinosaur is articulated, its neck and body can fully rotate, its mouth can open and have many expressions, its front legs move, its tail moves too.
The 2 statues of Anubis can turn their heads, many elements of the scenery can be easily moved and each level is playable.
Please support the project:

This real brick project that I loved to create took a long time to complete. I’ll be so glad you like it too. So thank you in advance for supporting me and sharing as much as possible!

Remember the motto of the film: “Everything comes to life !” so please support the project on Lego Ideas here https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a8bf1477-bc79-4367-8c11-b0bb68dd0cb4

Quand la nuit tombe, le délire commence ! 

Quand la nuit tombe, le délire commence !

Véritable reproduction du Musée d’Histoire Naturelle de New York, vous avez 3 niveaux entièrement jouables pour revivre toutes les scènes du film. Les proportions de la façade et les motifs du parvis sont reproduits fidèlement.
Dimensions du bâtiment : Longueur 38,5cm  x largeur 15cm, Hauteur 35cm

Le bâtiment typique des rues de New York peut prendre place tout naturellement dans votre univers City à côté par exemple du QG des Ghostbusters dont il fait exactement la même hauteur 35cm.

Les personnages :
Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) le gardien, Dr McPhee (Ricky Gervais) le directeur du musée, the mummy of the pharaoh Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek), Theodore Roosevelt (Robin Williams) la statue de cire équestre du 26e président des États-Unis, Sacagawea l’indienne, la statue en bronze de Christophe Colomb, Attila the Hun, l’homme de Neanderthals, les miniatures d’Octavius et Jededdiah, Dexter le singe capucin, un dinosaure, les deux statues d’Anubis et bien sûr la statue Moai de l’île de pâques Gum Gum !


L’idée de ce projet :

J’ai pris la décision en février 2019 de me lancer dans la production de films d’animation en stop motion (brickfilm) et pour mon premier projet j’ai créé cette version du film en briques en décembre 2019. J’ai eu l’occasion de montrer le suivi de ma construction et partager les photos sur différents media. Merci à ceux qui ont suivi avec attention mon travail…
C’est tout naturellement que j’ai pensé dès le départ à ce film La Nuit au Musée pour mon premier projet car il regroupe les univers Lego historiques qu’on adore et qui nous ont fait tant rêver, les pharaons et les pyramides, les dinosaures et la préhistoire, les indiens et les cowboys et les cultissimes soldats du fort Legoredo !

La jouabilité :

Pour les besoins de mon film qui sera lancé prochainement en production, il était nécessaire que tout soit mobile et jouable.
Ainsi le dinosaure est articulé, son cou et son corps peuvent entièrement pivoter, sa bouche peut s’ouvrir et avoir de nombreuses expressions, ses pattes avant bougent, sa queue bouge aussi.
Les 2 statues d’Anubis peuvent tourner la tête, de nombreux éléments du décor peuvent être déplacés facilement et chaque étage est jouable.

Soutenez ce projet:

Ce projet en briques réelles que j’ai adoré créer m’a pris beaucoup de temps à réaliser. Je serai tellement heureux qu’il vous plaise aussi. Alors merci d’avance de me supporter et partager le plus possible !

N’oubliez pas la devise du film : “Tout prend vie !” alors merci de voter pour mon projet sur Lego Ideas https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a8bf1477-bc79-4367-8c11-b0bb68dd0cb4

The LEGO Group has announced the LEGO Haunted House, a hair-raising new fairground build for adult thrill-seekers – available from 20th May from LEGO.com and LEGO Stores

Gear up for a spooky ride and bring to life the ultimate ghostly fairground experience, with the brand-new LEGO® Haunted House set. This latest addition to the LEGO Fairground collection is jam-packed with exciting features to surprise and entertain even the bravest of thrill-seekers.

Modelled on Manor Von Barron, the spooky home of one of the world’s greatest villains – Samuel Von Barron, the new LEGO® Haunted House model is full to the brim with spine-tingling details. Its clever design features a fully functional free-fall ride with automatic doors at the top of the tower, giving brave riders a glimpse of the thrilling plummet to come, as well as intricate ghoulish details such as haunted doors and a cursed painting to warn off any trespassers.

To enhance the spooky experience even further and unlock special features, such as a moving elevator, fans can also add LEGO Powered Up components (available separately) and control and amplify the set as they build via LEGO’s Powered Up app.

The 3,231-piece LEGO® Haunted House model not only makes an impressive and creepy display piece, standing at over 26.5” (68cm) high, 9” (25cm) wide and 9” (25cm) deep, but also gives fans the chance to get hands-on and immerse themselves in the ghostly world. LEGO builders can open the model’s exterior and enter the ultimate haunted house to discover the features hidden inside – revealing Von Barron’s extensive collection of stolen artefacts which nod to LEGO brick sets of the past, including the Organ of Catarino and the Orb of OGEL.

This brand-new set has been designed specifically with adults in mind – providing an immersive, creative experience for them to re-focus, re-charge and get creative, whether they’re enjoying alone or as a challenging build with friends or younger builders.The new LEGO® Haunted House™ construction set is the latest example of how the LEGO Group aims to inspire builders of all ages to build, rebuild and get excited by the process of creation. It’s also the first set from the LEGO Fairground Collection to feature the new stylish packaging designed to make it easier than ever for adult fans to find their new build challenge based on their individual passions.

Addressing the new packaging, Senior Marketing Manager Anders Hellegaard Iversen said: “So many of our older builders love the Creator Expert products, as they allow them to show off their passion for the bricks. Whether it’s their favorite film moments, sport icons, travel destinations, buildings, fairgrounds or vehicles, LEGO sets help to bring these to life in brick form. That’s also why we have decided to stop using the Creator Expert branding and, instead, use the new adult-focused packaging design to make it clearer which hobbies or brand products they can relate to. We hope this will make it easier for fans to track down models they would be proud to display once completed. Of course, our product range will continue to include the same advanced-build, collectible products that guarantee hours of building enjoyment for fans.”
