Little Yellow Brick's Medieval Kingdom MOC - Two and Counting

After all the fuss about repurchasing the 10193 Medieval Market Village and collecting a bunch of Lego Kingdom Series sets, including the 7946 King's Castle,we have decided to create our own MOC series! Presenting - drumrolls please - Little Yellow Brick's Medieval Kingdom MOC!

Open format!

Closed format!

For detailed write-ups of the individual sets, please see our posts on the 10193 Medieval Market Village and 7946 King's Castle. For this series, we have two formats: the open MMV and border pass; and the closed MMV and castle! As usual, please click on the extended post to find out more!

10193 Medieval Market Village

A typical day at the Medieval Market Village!

As mentioned in our previous post, we had a change of heart for this set. With its numerous minifigs, animals and eye-catching palette of colours, the 10193 Medieval Market Village was simply a set that had to be part of our collection!

Released in 2009 as part of the Castle series, the 10193 Medieval Market Village makes a great standalone set. It comes with two buildings - a tavern and a blacksmith-stable - which can be be played in open and closed format. Contrast this with our Winter Village series, where the buildings are only half complete and can only be displayed from the front. Another reason why we had bought this set was that it was a good fit with sets from the Lego Kingdoms Series, from which we have already purchased the 10223 Kingdoms Joust. The 10193 Medieval Market Village does not come with any mythical creatures such as trolls or dragons, so we did not have to face the dilemma of abandoning any Lego pieces.

There are many parts to our building experience, and we think it would best do this set justice if we analyzed in detail with pictures in the extended post below. Do be warned - it will be a long read, but we hope you won't be disappointed! As usual, do stay tuned for our future posts!

Little Yellow Brick Special #1: Change of Heart!

Look what made a comeback to our Little Yellow Brick collection!

Newer box!

Wait for it...

Tadah!

Our recent purchase of the 10223 Kingdoms Joust made us think long and hard about supplementing our Kingdoms Series with 10193's numerous minifigs and animals. Finally, we took the plunge and bought a set! Stay tuned for our post on building the 10193 Medieval Market Village! :)

Last month, we put up the Medieval Market Village for sale; today we are glad to post an entry on letting it go.

Let's take a closer look at our Lego set.

Medieval Market Village 10193

Front view of the Medieval Market Village! 

Back view of the set. Comes with 8 minifigs and many animals! 

The Medieval Market Village is part of the Castle series. With 8 minifigs (2 soldiers, 2 male peasants, 2 female peasants, a blacksmith and a boy) and farm animals (cows, horse, rooster and duck), it makes for a great play set by itself, but it would probably be much more fun if combined with #7946 King's Castle to form a complete kingdom. Displaywise, just take a look at the box and decide for yourself if it makes a good decoration in the living room!

Well, that's all for now. Time to remove the set from our collection!

For Sale #1 - 10193 Medieval Market Village [SOLD!]

Calling all Lego deal hunters!

As the first post of our For Sale Series, we are putting up a new set of 10193 Medieval Market Village up for sale!

Some specs:

Pieces: 1601 (if building the 1664-piece Imperial Flagship was anything to go by, this set will take you quite a few hours to complete!)

Lego release date: January 2009

Box play status: Unopened

Box Damage: Dented at the sides and top

Additional remarks from Little Yellow Brick

We fell in love with the Medieval Market Village when we came across it at one of the local Lego shops earlier this year, so we decided to buy a set back. Very nice cottagey look, but we are running out of space with our two ships (see our Imperial Flagship and Brickbeard's Bounty posts) and three-and-counting Modular Buildings (see our Green Grocer, Grand Emporium and Fire Brigade entries).

We believe in transparency and full disclosure as we would expect the same from those whom we buy Lego sets from, and what we would say about this Lego set is that the box is dented. While this might put off some fussy builders or buyers looking to give this as a present, it is still in very reasonable condition.
