After weeks of teasing, Lego has finally revealed its huge collaboration with Dungeons & Dragons to celebrate the legendary roleplaying gameâs50th anniversaryâand itâs huge in many ways, from piece count to price.
The set, based on a winning design by Lucas âBoltBuildsâ Bolt from a community contest done through Legoâs crowdsourced set series Lego Ideas, clocks in at 3,745 pieces, and comes with a modularly designed castle that can be split apart into five smaller vignettesâand a massive Red Dragon, Cinderhowl, to assault the keep with.
The dragon isnât the only entrant from the Monster Manual on display hereâas well as a host of minifigures portraying a litany of D&D races and classes, including an Orc Rogue, a Dragonborn Bard, a Gnome Fighter, an Elf Wizard, and Dwarf Clericâthe set includes multiple buildable creatures for them to battle, from a lowly skeleton and a tiny gelatinous cube, all the way up to an Owlbear, a Displacer Beast, and even a Beholder. If all that wasnât enough, the set amps the Dungeons & Dragons vibe up even further by including a free downloadable adventure for players to run inspired by the Lego set!
Lego Dungeons and Dragons: Red Dragonâs Tale will release April 1 for Lego Insiders, and on April 4 more widely. You better start saving up your gold: itâll set you back a whopping $360. Click through to see more pictures!
