There’s clever parts use and a great lineup of minifigures. It’s great to have a castle related build that provides something a little bit different. Was the goat killed for food? Was it a beloved pet that died of old age? There is not a lot of information to go on here and without any evidence to confirm that it’s a goat I have to assume it is just a random bone.ĭespite the lack of goats this set is a fantastic build and the end result looks fantastic. Is it possible that this bone belongs to a goat? This is entirely possible and it creates a lot of questions.
Goats have been known to eat the leaves off apple trees and the apples themselves.įinally there is something that I do want to raise. The apple tree would likely be popular with a goat if one was included. The main standouts here are the well and the apple tree. The final area to explore is the exterior. While I’d love to have a goat in this set it just doesn’t make sense for it to be here. This part of the building would be both hot and noisy and it would be an odd place to include a goat. Yes this is an 18+ set but that doesn’t mean it can’t have play features. The build uses the bellows to trigger the light brick and it’s a clever little touch that really enhances the “play” experience of this set. It features a great range of brick built recreations of the tools of the blacksmith trade including an anvil and plenty of coal. The lowest level of the building is the blacksmith’s furnace. Had the goat been eaten it would explain why it wasn’t present in the set. There is no indication from the kitchen area that there has been a goat consumed here. While goat isn’t as popular as beef, chicken and lamb it is a meat consumed all over the world. The kitchen shows the occupants preparing a meal with some sort of greens, carrot and chicken. It kind of feels like trying to do something interesting with an unusual part just for the sake of it. The chairs are interesting but I don’t love the way the backs are done. The middle level of the building features the kitchen and a dining area.
#MEDIEVAL SMITH SKIN#
Being smaller than a bear a goat skin rug would not take up as much of the floor space and would probably not provide as much warmth. Goat hides can also be used for a range of purposes. Speaking of detailing the bear skin rug on the floor is clever use of some simple parts. I particularly like the detailing on the end. The bed is a another great little sub-build. I really like the way the structure of the roof was done with the arches and central support column. If the designers wanted to hide a goat there should be plenty of opportunities to do so on one of the three levels. Horses are much larger and stronger than goats. Even if there were goats in this set it is unlikely they would be drawing the cart. The cart does not carry any goats and it is drawn by a horse rather than goats. The knights come with a nice little cart build. Dogs and goats can be similar in size but they are not related at all. Goats and Falcons have very little in common. Falcon’s are birds of prey while goats are from the bovidae family (cloven-hoofed, ruminant mammals). The Black Falcon knights signal a return of a popular faction from LEGO’s past. The archer is another great minifigure, I particularly like her dual sided face prints. His beard kind of reminds me of a goat but I can confirm that the blacksmith is not actually a goat in disguise. The blacksmith looks great with his big bushy beard and tied back hair. There are 4 minifigures in the set the blacksmith, a female archer, and two black falcon knights. Or is it? Join me as I review the LEGO Ideas Blacksmith but specifically looking for goats.īefore we get to the main building let’s check out the other parts of the set. But as interesting as the goat market is, there was meant to be a crash this year with the LEGO Ideas Blacksmith pitched with at least one goat. In fact I’m hoping to retire early thanks to the two I own. The LEGO goat has become one of the more valuable pieces lately.
