It was a joy to collaborate with you on the intro! I'm very proud of what we have made. Also, Bull Knights forever! 😄
Dude was an absolute blast! It came out so well! So many great Castle references in it!
LOVE IT! Feels like a cutscene from an old LEGO game.
@@BrotherhoodWorkshop right???? It’s the intro to the LEGO castle game that should have been made!
Studframe does a lot of awesome animations in this style for old video games!
Incredible work on that intro!
@@BrotherhoodWorkshop Thank you so much! I adore the old LEGO games and my videos try to bring then to the modern times. 😁
Ok whoa that intro caught me off guard. Absolutely perfect.
Right! It’s so good!
Glad you like it! 😄
That intro is fire.
Thank you! 😄
Fantastic overview! Such a cruel irony that my childhood castle themes were Knights Kingdoms 1 and 2, while my LEGO dark ages occurred during the superior (at least in my opinion) Fantasy era and Kingdoms... I wish I had some of the minifigures from those themes, but they're just so expensive. I take solace knowing that the current era of LEGO castle is super good. The sets and new remade castle minifigure factions released in the past few years are so amazing!
Thank you! Yeah fantasy era is a fantastic theme they really did. Great job on it!
Those pesky Woflpack bandits are relentless - even in your fresh Tavern Talk intro. Great effort Brad, as always! 🧙♂
You know those wolf pack. Always looking for a chance to swipe some gold😉. Thank you!
@@BrickingUpBradthis may be why Lego is just by default going for the Lion and Dragon factions - to stop these bandits if they ever re-emerge 😂🧙🏻♂️
The fantasy era skeletons will always be my favourite. It would be so cool if they remade some of the figures with new printing on the armour
That would be awesome!
The intro is fantastic, makes me feel nostalgia for castle. Great work ❤
Right?!? If Lego castle ever had a video game that would be the intro it has😂
I love the positive stance you take at the end. And your script was nice and concise for this video length.
Thank you! I tried to keep it moving and only touch on the important parts of each era!
I felt like I had to add in that stance because it’s how I really feel about Lego castle. I also know that I talked negatively about certain themes during the video, but I only did that because I felt like it was important to the history of Lego castle!
It’s really nice that you make these tavern talk videos especially for someone like me who is just getting into castle 🏰,it is kinda overwhelming!
Okay, had to pause the video for a sec just to acknowledge that very sick intro. Well done
Hahah thank you!
Awesome video and crazy cool intro.
I will always give a ton of props to Fright Knights and Knights Kingdom 1 for having so many tiny sets to fill out your collection with. 5 to 7 dollar lego sets were great.
Yeah they did a fantastic job with the small sets from those themes!
I saw the teaser you posted for the intro, but this blew me away! great video as well!
Right so good!
Thank you! ❤
Wow! This is a mini documentary and I loved it! So much info and you can tell you put lots of work and research into it! The intro is amazing too!!Thanks Brad 😀
Glad you enjoyed it! I really wanted a video that was like intro to Lego castle lol!
Studframe killed it on that intro👌
Awesome intro and great video! Hopefully this intro is the new norm for Tavern Talk??
Oh 100 perfect! It will be the new intro for all future tavern talks!
Incredible video Brad! I really hope the recent popularity of Castle will lead to more affordable sets. Also, I love the new intro, StudframeAnimations did an amazing job!
Same, fingers crossed!
He knocked it out of the park!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!❤
AMAZING new intro! Another great video! These just get better and better. Keep it up!
Thank you!❤
Ayyy thanks so much!
LOVE the intro! That must have taken a really long time, it's so cool to see all the eras of Castle brought to life like that. Great idea, fantastic execution.
Thank you! Studframe animation did it! He absolutely knocked it out of the park!
Thank you both! ❤
Yeah you weren't kidding about intro. Absolutely amazing!
Right!?!? It’s Absolutely amazing!
Good God!! That intro is so perfect 🤩 the bricks and figs even have stains and impurities like real used Lego. soooo good! 😃
Stud frame animation killed it!
Thank you so much! 😄
intro is great! It's cool you've never mentioned your favorites and just got overall review with true appreciation for all)
Thank you! When it comes down to it I love every era of Lego castle and just want more people to understand this amazing theme!
Love the new intro!!!
Thank you! ❤
With the release of Knights Kingdom I lost interest in new Castle sets. Fortunately I discovered Bricklink at the same time so I could add to my collection of previous themes. With Knights Kingdom 2 I had lost all hope in regaining any interest in new sets but the Kingdoms line managed to get me interested again. Such a shame that it was so short lived. Nowadays i mostly focus on the 80s and early 90s themes by buying sets from Bricklink or building MOCs. It has also been great to see all the new castle sets since 2020, from the current era I especially like the Creator Castle.
I think this is a great introduction of Castle. You kept it mostly unbiased and simple for new fans.
Minor mistake, Dark Forest wasn’t the last bandit faction, the Bulls were. Cedric the Bull was also named Robber Chief. Great work, loved the intro.
I felt like I was a little biased in it😂. But when I said dark forest was the last rogue faction I also said the last rogue faction that has buildings in the forest. Yes we got a robber faction in ninja and knights kingdom 2 but they were different.
I love the new intro😊
Thanks! 😁
That INTRO sequence is absolutely beautiful 👌😮🥰❤️
And, in the most complimentary way, it really reminded me of how I Imagined a magic medieval setting - as a young kid I read all the early discworld books by terry pratchett and somehow you've brought that whimsical and magical atmosphere onto the screen! Wonderful job. I could quite happily watch that intro on loop and just do LEGO with my wife in absolute peace. Top job💥❤️
Thank you so much! That was very nice to read. I’m glad you like it! ❤
Appreciate it!
I'm not a lego castle guy, but I got that rapier unicorn knight from the BAM pieces and it's so damn pretty. The prints and color scheme; y'all eating good recently.
Holy crap, not only is this whole video great, but I want a ten hour loop of the new intro.
Don’t worry studfram animation (the person who made it) will be uploading it to his channel soon! So please just do that when he uploads it lol! He deserves a lot of praise for making it that good!
@@TX_Blake Hahah thank you so much! 😁
The post-Kingdom Castle theme was fine, but it was completely overshadowed by Lord of the Rings theme in my mind. Also that Duplo castle looks great and I wish I paid attention to it when it was available.
Yeah 2013 castle was definitely over shadowed by many other themes
Great work here. Intro fantastic, info and details great. I’ll always be partial to the Wolfpack and early 90’s sets. Best time for Castle in my opinion.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. A lot of memories brought back. I have a lot of mini figures to go through and I actually think I have the orc boat! Next to find the pieces 💪😎
Love the new intro!! 🏰
@@RobertoRamirez-bk3no Thank you! Glad you like it! 😁
Glad you like it!
The Royal Knights were the last faction I collected as a kid. What I loved about the olden days was that every faction had a massive home-base. King's Castle, Black Falcon's Fortress, The Forestmen's Hide-out, Black Monarch's Castle, etc. If you stuck around for more than a year you had enough figures and castles to set up multiple fully-realized kingdoms; not just invaders and defenders. The only thing that era lacked was an adequate civilian population. Back then I was desperate for some peasantry to surround my castles...
I finally saved yo enough to order the lion Knights castle. I would have never got into lego castle as much as i am without your videos. My favorite castle themes are fantasy era and 2013 castle.
Let’s go!! It’s a great set hope you enjoy the build!
Both great themes! Doing my 2013 castle video here very soon! Working on it right now!
@@BrickingUpBrad So far the build has been fun. I just finished book 1. I can't wait to see your 2013 castle video.
Great video! Castle is my favorite Lego theme. I have a bunch of cool castles that I like to mix all kinds of minifigures on. Star Wars, Marvel, Castle, and etc ALL go on my castle sets. ❤️
Grew up with 2013 Lion Knights 💪 Underrated
Thanks for including the duplo knights. I had the knights castle as a kid, and everyone just forgets about the subtheme
It’s very underrated! I think so many people forget about it though is because they are not sold a lot.
I love the intro, it's very lego creator harry potter 😍
Nice opening animation!
Right! It’s so good!
@@benparker1822 Thanks! I appreciate that! 😁
I’m so lucky to have this as my first tavern talk video, but I have a old knights joust knight ( not a horse rider ) which I love its simplicity
This is a great tavern talk to start with! I highly recommend checking out the rest if you enjoyed this one!
@@BrickingUpBradsorry if Im bothering you but could you please do a video featuring the classic knights (knights from Knights procession, Yellow castle Etc.?
@@DoublePack337 I did do a video on that! I think it’s called the untold story of the yellow castle!
@@BrickingUpBrad Thank you for telling me I watched it and it was great!
I can't stop watching videos like this every other day but everytime I watch I get anxious for missing out on all other Sets of my favourite theme instead of the three sets that made my childhood
That intro was buzzin 👌🏼
Hahah thanks!
Wen you said 'what ever ninja,s do nowadays' i was like: so true😂 i like your video's BTW 😁👍
😂😂😂 thank you!
Great intro and video overall
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brad that intro was insanely good
Thank you!
When being born in 1977 it's impossible to beat the appeal the original Lion Knights (never called Crusaders in Europe) and Black Falcons theme had during my childhood. And with this background it very much feels like the 2021-2024 remake and special era is specifically tailored for GenX. Thanks for the complete overview!
Oh yeah I have a feeling that’s the audience Lego is targeting right now. When knows in 20 years they might target the fans of kingdoms and fantasy era!
Even tho I didn't have a ton of the sets I have alot of nostalgia for knights kingdom 1 mainly due to the lego chess computer game I had growing up I believe it also features pirates and western but it was honestly so much fun!
That’s the same reason I have nostalgia for dragon masters - fright knights which was because I loved Lego racers growing up!
Bro went official and got a fancy animation. Nice going
I couldn’t keep using that old one 😂😂 it wasn’t great but I didn’t know what else to do lol. Stud frame animation did this one and made it 100 times better!
COOL INTRO 😎
Thank you!
Another great tavern talk video! Fantasy era is my favorite, probably because I'm into LOTR and the Warcraft universe 😄
That makes a lot of sense😂
Intro is absolute fire
Thank you! ❤
Ayy thanks!
Excellent work.
The one I first grew up with was Knights Kingdom 2. I loved the whole look of the figures, and the animated stories were great. Wasn't as big of a fan of the later waves, mainly the second wave armour which had strange colours, but the sets looked great. Castle 1 was fun too, and so was Kingdoms with fantasy elements, with a level of realism. Unfortunately Castle 2 went a bit under the radar for me. Which is a shame, as it lead to Nexo Knights, which I absolutely hate.
Thanks for the quick overview. A nice refresher to watch, and I completely overlooked the ninja era :0
Ninja era is honestly really cool!
@@BrickingUpBrad Yea. Love the architecture especially
Love the intro
Thank you!
4:30 shattering decision while discussing toy playsets
I really like Knights Kingdom II, to me its great beacuse it's how castle would exist in a lego universe. I loved the story, so much work went into it. I loved the sets as a kid, they were so much fun to play with. I like how each of the knights are very unique. I wish it got more love. Also that baseplate that the castle of Morcia came with was the best! built so many star wars bases off of it!
Yeah knights kingdom 2 was really cool! So much lore!
Grew up on Knights Kingdom 1 with Cedric and Princess Storm. Also the Vikings. (Just for themes mentioned in this video.)
But I also still have the old Shogun with a cart.
Kinda hoping the Bulls under Cedric make a return one day.
I also hope that Cedric and the bulls come back!
Brad this is your best yet! Great work, really cool to see how things changed over the years!
I appreciate that! Right! It’s really interesting to see the progress of this theme!
I would love to see a Lego Castle theme set in the near/middle East. Persian inspired watchtowers, ancient Afghani forts, just imagine…
That would be amazing!
What a wonderful intro ❤
Thank you!
Thank you! ❤
I’m fuckin wit the intro 💯💯💯 reminds me of those old Lego video game cutscenes
@@venenomecca5855 right! It’s like if Lego castle had a video game!
I still want that 2013 Castle Dragon.
Same!
2:55 I would disagree. 1984 set, 6021 (Jousting Knights), in some catalogues is called 'Sir Richard versus Black Knight', so there is first named character in Castle franchise
Great video! What a blast through the past to the present.
However, the amount of love I have in my heart for my Black Falcons, Forestmen, Wolfpack, Basil and the Bat Knights, Vikings, and Snow Guardians must be balanced with equal hatred of the other factions… 😉 my heroes need villains anyways… and I absolutely love the scale mail dragon knights and chainmail red lions with no crests from Kingdoms, I’ve made them each a separate faction.
Thank you!
That intro is smooth
Ayy thanks!
Cheers! 😁
What an epic intro! Wow
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you!❤
I had 2013 castle and it was my favourite Lego I have ever gotten I had almost every set bah the dragon set but all the others
Nice! Just picked up some of the sets from that era!
@@BrickingUpBrad cool I can never figure out how to get more Lego knights stuff since that line ended I always end up missing that the new sets are out till they are already off sale
Castle is not an easy theme to summarize - nicely done. 🙂 I've got to feel like if they did a new story-heavy castle theme, with presentation and tie-ins like for Dreamzzz and City Adventures, it could have a chance of succeeding. Perhaps some day soon!
Thank you! There was definitely a few things I could have went deeper into that I missed!
But I totally agree a more story driven castle theme would do so well now a days!
I kinda want to see Lego do more with Castle, perhaps like what they did with Space this year; including Castle themed sets in other themes, like City & Friends.
Dreamzzz does have some Castle-esque sets though (I will admit Dreamzzz feels like a mashup of most of the original themes of the 2010s; I see elements of Hidden Side, Elves, Nexo Knights, bits of Ninjago, might be a stretch to say Ultra Agents as well)
Oh I agree! It would be cool to see how they incorporate it into other themes! And a cmf castle wave would be awesome!
I'm gonna suggest one theme that could count as Fantasy Castle, but oft gets overlooked because it's part of the Lego Series of Board Games: Heroica.
It's got a good story, actual characters and a means to play them. The sets are actually pretty neat. The rules would work best if incorporating the Hero Quest framework, though, for more intermediate aged players. It's too bad it didn't get cross-over support with a line of Mini Figures at the least. The Micro Figures are nice and good for saving space, but it would have been fun to arm the characters with the different weapons that came with each set. Something I'm looking to do with the custom mini-fig company.
I loved heroica. I did forget about that when making this video! I have a collection of the sets and would love to do it at some point!
Good night everyone
i wish they bring out small castle theme sets
the intro goes crazy
Ayy thanks!
Haha thank you!
I love your ending I totally agree
Thank you so much!
I did not know that the pink "Princess knights" was actually the first Castle-faction ever...
Sweet intro dude
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Ah the 90s. The era of the first king, the first wizard and the talest castle. A golden era for the royal knights. We can only hope that they will one day return, so that brad can put them into the intro.
Honestly almost put king Richard in the intro but I already had to many characters from that era lol! But I will be doing a royal knights tavern talk in august!
cool intro 😎👍
@@lolbabo7758 Thank you! 😄
Right?!?
man, keep up with this awsome content!
Thank you so much!
cool intro
Thank you!
This video got me bricked up
Just wanted to say I think the 2004 knights kingdom gave cards out in the magazine because I remember having those cards but they where on punch out sheets that I'd get when the Lego magazine would come in the mail, also I fell like they didn't advertise the 2013 castle theme because I'd never heard or seen them on shelves when they where in stores and never saw a commercial for them because I would have totally bought at least one set.
You might be right! I just never heard of them in magazines. I definitely know 2013 castle was advertised. It just wasn’t as much as say kingdoms or some other themes. But you might be right about it being under advertised which is why it didn’t sell as well.
great video, very well done!
Thank you very much!
5:03 favorite movie is batman forever
That's something you don't hear often, interesting choice
I mean they did both cone out in the 90s and both Like bats
@@BrickingUpBrad oh i understand, and like the connection. I like that lego puts these extra's
And yes he didn't chose batman or batman returns. Forever was different. Better not chose batman robin
He has to do heroica for the next tavern talk tbh
Definitely want to do that at some point!
Awesome vid brad!
Glad you liked it!
Great intro
Appreciate it!
Loved the introduction I really wished that I had received the royal knights castle never really gotten any of the castles in the late 80's and 90's only small ones the first set I've gotten that started my collection was the imperial flagship 6271 I loved it but it lacked detail and was a letdown when I seen the size of the Skulls eyed Schooner I wish they'd make a better one that kinda matched the firepower and crew still I've gotten two ships from pirate fraction and gotten two castles red beard runner was my second ship I've gotten Valdek's dark fortress and king leo's castle I wish I've gotten MUCH more but still I've enjoyed the sets I've gotten
Black falcon goats
I love the first dragons, been so many years since i last spotted one
He is so cool! They really need to bring that mold back!
I feel like nexo knights is based off of knights kingdom 2
good overview even better video!
Thank you!
Slight errata. Dark forest weren't the last forest bandit faction, that was the backstory for Cedric the Bull too!
It was the last forest dwelling bandit faction in the style of forestmen and wolf pack
The Skeleton Army is my favorite faction
Nice! They are cool!
well done as always!
Thank you!
I actually own two of the dublo castle dragons
That’s sick!
I can’t wait till bro sees the dnd cmfs
lov e t]he new intro mate!
Ayy thanks so much!
I appreciate that! ❤
What what what. I'm a long time Lego castle collector but this video still had new things for me o_0 Thank you.
Personally the Scorpion knights are the most cool looking ever. Too shame the series was bad :/
Glad to hear! I always try to do deep research for this series!
The shadow faction from knights kingdom 2 was awesome! I loved the unique look of them! Also Vladik is an awesome villain!
Yeah! Don't hate on any Castle theme! They are all great! Except Nexo Knights of course...
Nexo knights is a fantastic theme. Just not a good castle theme
@@BrickingUpBrad Kind of the point of my joke... Maybe it was to subtle for you.
@@Flowing_thoughts oh sorry 😂😂😂 sometimes hard to catch what’s a joke in text!
0:28 shadow knight spotted
I had to get a knights kingdom 2 reference into it!
