Medieval Blacksmith Reviews
“Seriously though I have been waiting for some castle sets for awhile. When Pirates of Barracuda Bay dropped last spring it was like a throwback to my 90's childhood. I remember seeing the ORIGINAL Blacksmith shop in a Lego catalog in like 2000 and unfortunately never had the... More chance to buy it. This time is different. These throwback sets to the days when I was a kid are truly special and hold a real place in my heart as a builder and Lego fan.”

“I can very easily recommend this to you. LEGO has produced something new and yet nostalgic, charming, educational and fun. The Blacksmith was once at the heart of the community, I invite you to put this set at the heart of your LEGO collection, I honestly don't think you'll... More be disappointed.”
Brickset
“If you even have a passing interest in Lego castle, whether from nostalgia or just an interest in all things Medieval, this is absolutely not a set to consider or wait on. Maybe its a projection of my personal feelings towards the set, but I can easily imagine this being an... More "always out of stock" set. Arguably the best looking Lego set, an amazing build and value head and shoulders above the Lego norm, I would get this ASAP if you're even slightly interested. As much as I loved Pirates of Barracuda Bay, this one has got it and every other recent set beat, to me at least.”

About Ideas
The LEGO Ideas theme, which started in 2008 as an offshoot of the Japanese website Cuusoo, then formally known as LEGO Cuusoo, is based around a website which allows users to submit ideas for LEGO products to be turned into potential sets available commercially. If fellow users in the LEGO Ideas community up vote the project to 10000 then LEGO Group has a committee which votes on whether to build the set and release it. If the project is approved and cleared for production, it is developed and later released as an official set under the "LEGO Ideas" banner and the original designer receives 1% of the royalties and a number of free sets. Typically, a few projects are approved a year and most are rejected due to various restrictions.
