Loved this build, with over 3000 pieces, alot of black bits to assemble with gold parts as well but very little other colours but that gives it an especially brilliant figure, the illuminated back plate blends nicely.

The size and scale and color of the bricks was exceptional. Overall weight of the project was a little lighter than I expected, but detailing was accurate.

Medieval Castle was a real pleasure to build. It went together flawlessly, no missing pieces and was to the letter with the instructions. I highly recommend this build. The only thing is make sure you have a fairly good size work area. It is big and the the numbered bags are only 1-6 for 4190 pieces, so each step is a lot of items out at one time.

This thing looks awesome sitting on my shelf. It poses like a statue and looks great (and HUGE) next to some of my other models.

I got it as a gift and figured it would have been twice as expensive as it's listed here.

There was one loose part in the dragon, but a small amount of Elmer's added the extra mass to keep it all in place. I need one in every color. :P

First of all the packaging was perfect the instructions are clear!!! Now where do I start the build is fantastic it was a blast to put together and it is very detailed. And the perfect set for people who love the medieval genre.

Love the build! She is beautiful.
I struggled with several pieces staying in place. I do like the set and will be shopping again. So glad your site was not a scam. Thanks for the great mystery pick.

Really nice build, until the little motor stopped working after one use. Lights still work. Overall, I am happy with it.

The JMBRICKLAYER Shadow Dragon is by far the best dragon build on the market! The instructions were well made and easy to follow. What I really liked was how solid the build was. JMBricklayer did a fantastic job with the Shadow Dragon! The modern "C" lighting kit added a special touch to the build that really did wonders. No replacing batteries. The Shadow Dragon looks way cool! By far my favorite build! Outstanding build JMBricklayer! Excellent job!

So great

Dragon was an excellent build. The minifigure though was cheap and flimsy. Went in the bin

I have to admit, the Flying Dutchman is a fantastic piece that will look good in any display. I found it to be the perfect size, and the lights really bring it to life. And boy they are bright.

However, the build was frustrating. Some pieces are not sturdy when connected, and will easily fall off when a mosquito flies by. For example, the bowsprit fell off countless times, causing green spikes to drop off.

The instructions could be better organised. Early on you are guided to add decorative pieces to the sides of the ship, until further into the build you’re told to take them off and apply stickers. Oh, come on.

But, if you ride it out, it does look great when finished. Just don’t breathe on it.

My 10yr old son made this in half a day.He will make the stand later.The build is very nice and has realistic features.

I’ve purchased several JMBricklayer sets before, and the quality has always impressed me. The Shadow Dragon continues that experience with incredible details, solid construction, and a stunning final display. The glowing crystal base makes it one of my favorite pieces in my collection.

I was not expecting this build to look this incredible. The glowing green portal is absolutely the highlight — it feels like a gateway to another dimension. 👀 The dark fantasy design, detailed structure, and lighting effects make it such a unique display piece. Took my time building it, but seeing the final result was totally worth it!

I recently had the great pleasure of building the Medieval Valley, and from start to finish it was an enjoyable experience.
Because of the size of the set, I expected my entire room to disappear under piles of bricks. With many brick sets, the building stages are divided into numbered bags, and I often find myself opening every bag in a stage just to make sure I can find the pieces I need. Fortunately, this set had a much better solution here.
The packaging and organization of the parts were fantastic. Each major stage was further divided into smaller sub-step bags, making the whole experience much more manageable. It was wonderful to be able to decide exactly how much I wanted to build during a session and only open the bags required for that section. Not only did it keep my workspace tidy, but it also did wonders for domestic harmony!
The finished model looks beautiful. The buildings are full of medieval charm, packed with details, and create a lively scene that is a joy to display.
Overall, this was a highly enjoyable build with excellent part organization, engaging construction techniques, and a stunning final result. If you enjoy medieval-themed sets, this one is easy to recommend.
