It would be nice to get some new different colored bardings to go along with whatever the new faction is but that wouldn't happen in a Creator set. Too bad we will get a joust set without the proper bardings. May have to pick up a few more of the ones from the Lion Knights Castle. I also wish we could get some Black or Gray molded horses. I wish they would do a horse similar to the one from the Mill Village Raid. Sadly that one is quite expensive. Quite interesting though that it says 5 Minifigs, I hope they don´t count a skeleton in there. As we are getting a joust Set, I would guess we get 4 Minifigs for the new faction (2 Knights, 1 King and a Princess) and either a Lion or Falcon Knight as opponent for the joust. Quote

And 6083 was in the tapestry in Medieval Town Square, so I think you're close. I appreciate any build for barding that uses basic pieces to create any faction we want. Rebrickable has a MOC using plates, but I like your fringe detail. Quote

We aren't getting a joust set. We're getting a Creator 3-in-1 that has a joust build, which might not be the primary build. So the minifigs could be anything. After all, the last Creator castle had a pirate minifig as a blacksmith. And yes, BOO to brick built horses, thus with no helmets, saddles or barding parts. 3 things that aren't easy to pick up these days. At least the "new faction" is welcome news. Quote

Unfortunately, I really doubt we will get two Royals in the set. Based on the previous creator set and some previous castle sets its this is what I believe we will get. 2x Knights (1 from each faction) 2x supports/squires (1 from each faction) 1x unknown joust observer (could be a King/royal, or it could be a lord like the tax collector from the MTS) Quote
Cyprinus Posted February 24 Posted February 24 The same leaker mentioned the new 3 in 1 Castle basically looks like the one we see in the background of 31161's box. Quote

After all, the last Creator castle had a pirate minifig as a blacksmith. It is a 3 in 1 Set - and clearly the castle will be the main build, but if they are doing three builds they will also consider all three builds for what minifigures they will include - and the ones I mentioned would fit for a castle just aswell as the joust ;). And well, in the end it is just a guess, could aswell be a King, two Knights and two Knights from another faction. We will see. Quote
Cyprinus Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Apparently the three builds are: castle (duh) joust market Quote

Do we all think the shield is close to accurate to the new faction? It looks like brown and yellow? Brown horse on a yellow field possibly. In this shot, the flags lean orange, but the houses still look very blue and yellow like the retired Creator Castle. Very excited for two new factions (leaker on discord said unicorn gets new shields too)! Plus whatever won for Ideas Minifigure Factory. Quote

Wait a minute -- are we now certain that we're getting two Creator Castle sets? There's been some discussion about whether 31175 Unicorn Castle ($39.99 USD) is also a Castle set and not, like, pink. It'd be excellent to have an affordable Castle set for the first time in what feels like forever. Would you mind posting what the leaker wrote verbatim? Quote

They are absolutely the top two, so maybe one is in the prize machine and the other is a challenger in the Horse Knights’ Castle? I like the Griffins (they were my second pick after Ravens), but I think their colours will be too close to both the new Horse Knights and the Lion Knights for them to be made anytime soon (maybe they could appear in a Black Knights’ set in 2026 or 2028). On 2/22/2025 at 12:48 PM, Cyprinus said: According to Blockid in the Brick Tap server, one of the builds for the upcoming 3 in 1 Castle will "basically be Kingdoms Joust". With brick-built horses. 5 figs, a new faction. I missed where he said we are getting five Minifigs - That is a significant improvement over the previous 3-in-1 (though the new one is a bit more expensive 🫤)! The new faction is said to be primarily red, with new horse heraldry.

While I would much prefer to get moulded horses, Creator sets reuse pieces from animal builds in the secondary and tertiary models, so I can see the main castle getting (for instance) a white horse, while the B-model joust has a brown one as well that is made from parts of a tree in the A-model. Additionally, if the horses use the same design as the ones in the Yellow Castle (maybe with roof slopes as barding for the B-model, as the original joust set had), I will appreciate the homage. 9 hours ago, Cyprinus said: The same leaker mentioned the new 3 in 1 Castle basically looks like the one we see in the background of 31161's box. 8 hours ago, Cyprinus said: Apparently the three builds are: castle (duh) joust market Correct - He says that the dragon box art castle is the A-model, a joust is the B-model, and a small market is the C-model; the new faction is primarily red and has horse heraldry. 7 hours ago, Mopasali said: Do we all think the shield is close to accurate to the new faction?

The shield in the box art looks like a red/yellow (or bright light orange) checkerboard, which is similar to this classic shield - Maybe we are getting that pattern as a base, with a horse over top? 🤔 Quote
hikouki Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Random question... Did the Medieval Market (remake) sell as well as the Lion Knight's castle? I am a castle fan and I have yet to buy that Medieval Market. Quote

I am sure noone would be bothered if the horse just stays a horse in every build actually. And in the end you can use it for the Knights in the first build, well for the second obviously for the joust and for a carriage for the market. I mean, not that anything else was to be expected from creator, but I still would have rather have moulded horses, than brickbuild ones. 10 hours ago, Roebuck said: Me too, but it will retire this year so do not wait to long Ugh, don´t remind me about that.

We don't really need a new mold, only a recolor to solid black from the one in Dreamzzz. I got the new wave of Dreamzzz, and its raven is big, but ravens (not crows) can have a wingspan of almost 5' (just shy of a medieval human). Regardless of the Raven faction, it'll be nice to see that mold reused. Quote

I went through the bags to get the minifigures out and pose them in my collection but have yet so far mustered the courage to build it. It's because I also have to dig the Lion Knights castle from storage for it pose them together. I spent all this money on also purchasing PaB medieval market figures on the side for variety, got two goat herders from series 26 minifigures and 6 wolfpack beastmaster just for this market, I need to really build it. BTW has anyone bought the brick built Dragon? how do ya'll feel about it? In all reality the with animal molds being expensive, It's not surprising to see the move towards the brick horse build. It's primarily the reason I dislike the 3in1 sets due to the lack of minifigures and the entire focus on 1x1 bricks. Oh well. Quote

ctx1769 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) tLooking carefully at the above images of the castle in the background of the dragon. There is a shield above the gate and it Looks like it has 4 quarters in 2 different colours, could this be a new faction or the return of an old one. I've zoomed right in to shield image and there appears to be something else on the shield so at a guess either the green dragon or Red lion faction. I hope the horses are not brick built, otherwise it's going to cost my wallet some notes. Edited March 11 by ctx1769 Quote
karrit Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) Yeah, I already ordered some extra Bardings in case the horses are brick built. I already have a decent herd of Horses in my stash so no need to order more of the current colors. Just wish they'd give us a new color or two already. I have really old Black, Brown & White ones from Castle & Western sets as well as the current colors. Never got any of the patterned ones from the old Western sets. I'd really like some in either of the Gray shades. Edited March 11 by karrit Quote
