As you probably know already, LEGO recently released the #21348 LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale set featuring a buildable tavern with a removable roof and an upper level for easy access, a dungeon and a tower, plus a poseable Cinderhowl the Red Dragon that can be wrapped around the tower. The set comes with a whopping 3,745 pieces and measures over 19 in. (48 cm) high, 14.5 in. (37 cm) wide, and 12 in. (30 cm) deep. And it also includes six minifigures, including four brave adventurers, an innkeeper, and a dragonborn, plus lots of monsters, including a beholder, an owlbear, and a displacer beast. If you haven’t checked it out already, the set is available at the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.
To further expand the LEGO Dungeons & Dragons line, LEGO recently revealed that they are also releasing a LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series dedicated to Dungeons & Dragons.
The series includes the following 12 collectible minifigures: Tiefling Sorcerer, Elf Bard, Halfling Druid, Dwarf Barbarian, Dragonborn Paladin, Aarakocra Ranger, Gith Warlock, Mind Flayer, The Lady of Pain, Strahd von Zarovich, Tasha the Witch Queen, and Szass Tam.
As usual, each of the characters comes with one or more accessories and a collector’s information leaflet.
The series won’t be available until September, but the good news is that you can already pre-order them for $4.99 each and they will ship on September 1st. They come in blind packets, so you won’t know exactly what you will get, but you can always trade the ones you don’t want or if you end up with duplicates. You can find them at the LEGO Minifigures section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Wow. These look great! I want them all! 😄
They look fantastic! And many of them can double as generic castle figs.
I haven’t been looking at the collectible minifigs for a while now, but I’m totally getting these!
Oh, man! The set looks so good! I hope I can get it before the end of the year! And the minifigs too!! I’m debating between this and upcoming dragons rising sets.
The Data Matrix code on the bottom of the box, scannable with a smart phone app, is much faster and more reliable than the old “feel through the bag” method.
Earlier, I had been able to buy my favorite minifigs presorted from a third party, for about the same price as an unopened bag would cost officially from Lego. I might consider that again, this time…
(I guess I might try the Smartphone app, as well, but I’m kinda lazy on adapting new technology, and it might not be worth it, if I have to roam with my old prepaid card to find a free Wi-Fi network…)
Yeah, I got lazy too! Haha! I used to spend the time to sort through packets, now I just get the minifigs I want from BrickLink. 🙂
