"The Black Falcon used to be a powerful baron of the Old Kingdom. After the Lion Knights took over the realm, the arrangement was made for Black Falcon's daughter, Kunegunde, to marry the king. However, when the baron fell in a joust, these plans came to naught and the king married another baroness. But Kunegunde decided to take matters in her own hands...


A few years ago, together with her younger sister, who was a royal falconer, Kunegunde managed to covertly organize an abduction of the king when he was on a hunting trip. Now the king is being secretly held in a remote and inaccessible mountain fortress, while Kunegunde is readying for a winter campaign against the queen."


***

What makes this mighty fortress design stand out is its harsh winter scenery, including snow caps and icicles. It consists of a lower and upper castle, connected by a drawbridge, which spans a frozen moat.


The build is quite large in size and uses just shy of the maximum allowed 4000 pieces. The building is foldable and contains removable sections to allow for an easy access to all parts of the interior. Greebling and texturing is used with moderation. The construction process should not be a big challenge but even advanced builders will find some nice and unexpected details and techniques, including the use of Technic pieces in both structural and decorative roles.


9 Minifigures included.

SleeplessNight bio image

The mysterious designer of this set, known only under his artistic pseudonym of Sleepless Night is a passionate AFOL with a lifelong fascination for the iconic plastic bricks. Born in 1981 in then communist Poland, his journey with LEGO brick building began at the age of seven, when his loving auntie bought him his first LEGO set for 24 hard earned and illegally stored US dollars. It looked to him like this event triggered a chain of events that eventually caused the fall of the Iron Curtain, which in turn enabled his parents to buy him many more LEGO sets. But given the uneasy realities of this period, these couldn't be the biggest and greatest sets from LEGO catalogue, so he had no other choice but to be creative. As Sleepless Night grew older, his love for LEGO building only intensified. He spent countless hours building ever more intricate structures, including pirate islands and fantasy castles. But then the darkness fell: education, work, short-lived relationships, trivial entertainment, late 1990's LEGO set design... 

 

A glimmer of hope appeared when he finally met the love of his life and his son was born. He took it for a clear sign of providence that he must pull his bricks out of the basement - and buy some more stuff. For the new generation. And so it began again. With the advent of social media it was no longer possible to hide his passion from the outside world.


The set is obviously a tribute to the great Black Falcons sets of the past but it also draws inspiration from much newer LEGO theme lines, addressed to adult audience, such as Modular Buildings with their advanced and even intricate architectural design. In addition it's fair to mention countless MOC designers whose work I followed on social media, admired and sometimes imitated in recent years. The design also borrows from my unreleased LEGO Ideas entry from a few years back, and especially from its winter version. It won't be a surprise when I say that the set is intended as a complement for the recent Lion Knights' Castle, where a party of Black Falcons was relegated to playing merely a supporting role. In the Mountain Fortress you will find a few very clear references to this fantastic set. 

 

Knowing that Black Falcons' castle is an extremely popular theme among MOC creators, I wanted my design to stand out. Given Black Falcons' black and blue livery is not as eye-catching as Lion Knights' reds and yellows, I thought it could be turned into a strength. These colors bring to mind the dark, rocky and cold landscapes of the North. So I thought harsh winter scenery would perfectly underline the character of this faction.  

How do you find inspiration for your designs? What inspired this BDP set in particular?


There are of course two main sources of inspiration for this set, as well as most of my other creations: the legendary sets of old and the epic MOCs of modern day LEGO fans! You see these things and you just can't stop yourself from building your own thing, can you?


What was the first set you ever built? Which one is your favorite? What is one set you would love to see being made?


The first LEGO set I've ever got was 6378 Service Station from 1986 and I totally loved it, even if it had stickers across multiple pieces!


It's really hard to say which set is my favorite, it changes with time. Perhaps my current favorite set is one that I haven built yet, namely the Rivendell. I'm definitely looking forward to building it as well as any future LOTR sets.


How would you describe your building style? Do you usually design sets within a certain theme?


My focus is mostly on buildings. I pay attention to detail but I try to stay within the realm of "legal" techniques. There are some true LEGO fan wizards around who can conjure up absolutely amazing things using very creative techniques but these unfortunately tend to be somewhat fragile. I wish I could follow their footsteps but if I did, I would never finish any large build - I'm just too clumsy.


My favorite themes are of course Castle, or broader medieval/fantasy and Pirates. I also really like the design of most Ninjago and Monkey Kid buildings. I'm trying to keep pace with the Icons modular buildings as well.


How would you describe your role in the LEGO fan community?


I hope I can brighten someone's day once in a while with my photos and instructions, and now with my BDP set! Other folks' works surely put a smile on my face countless times.


Have you been to any LEGO community events or conventions? If so, what were they like?


I've visited some LEGO community exhibitions with my kids but I'm not very active outside of social media.


What do you think makes a BDP set successful?


I think it must speak to the hearts and souls of the LEGO fans!


What advice would you give to the next set of hopeful BDP designers?


Arm yourself with lots of patience! First, read the guidelines carefully. Second, your set won't be redesigned by professionals, so you must take care of build quality yourself. It can't be done in one day. But don't be a perfectionist either - there will always be room for improvement, so remember that "finished is better than perfect". When you're done with the build, take your time to promote it. If you don't win, try again. And if you do win... Just imagine waiting 15 months for it to be released - that's when your patience will really be put to the test!

I finally got around to building this set and WOW. This set is amazing. The build experience was fantastic and the end product is extremely impressive. I love that several parts are modular and easily come out to allow access to interior rooms. I love the little details and easter eggs throughout the castle... especially the miniature of the Lion Knights Castle in the store room. Especially how it also has a little toy siege tower as part of the miniature, which of course references the Siege Encampment set from this same designer (Sleepless Night) that will go on sale soon as part of Series 4. I am absolutely getting the new set by this designer and definitely plan to pick up the Adventure in Transylvania, also be Sleepless Night, that will be available as part of Series 5. I just can't say enough positive things about this building experience and the end product. WOW.

@AlexFOX710: You can try on eBay on similar platform, e.g. Allegro in Poland: https://allegro.pl/oferta/omg-lego-bricklink-910029-gorska-twierdza-16890725606 Or yo can forget the box and try to gather the blocks on your own. All pieces are listed in the manual which can be downloaded from LEGO or Bricklink website: https://bdpinstructions.download.bricklink.info/910029.pdf It may not be easy, it may not be cheap, but for sure it's doable (I did it myself, just waiting for final delivery from LEGO on some non-standard blocks).

@kellysan: I usually remove the pat of main fortress and lift it by the ceiling of the 1st floor, while holdind the smaller part by side. It goes on pretty smotthly and lets me place it wherever I want. Afterwards I just put the fortress part back in. No big deal.

@John_McClane Mountain Fortress was 379.99 USD when it came out. Anyone know what the best way to move the Mountain Fortress around? I held it in the wrong place when I moved it and parts of it crumbled. Luckily, it didn't take too long to rebuild.

How much did it cost when it went out? Cause I was sad I missed it, but then a guy told me he bought 2 to make some benefit selling the 2nd one but he proposed to sell it to me to the price it was sold here; then he apologized, saying he made a mistake, bought in fact only 1 piece; before today, some months later, saying he misses time to build it and propose to sell it to me if I still want, the price he paid it; but he isn't sure of the price, so, does anyone know? Someone who bought it, or the creator himself... About the creator, great job, and again with ur Dracula's Manor, that I'll buy too when it'll come out. I just bought my 1st Bricklink's set, the beautiful, gorgeous, great Forest Stronghold, and in the series 5, its creator also has a 2nd really cool set selected, the Island of Tortuga, that'll maybe buy, depending how much ur Transylvania set and his Pirates of the Caribbean will cost. If it's too much, I'll choose just ur Manor, cause it's gorgeous.

@NeilyAre it won't open for another round. You know how this website works and it is caps to 30.000 products. If its sold out, its done. Sad to hear you were in coma, but you could have let anyone else but the set for you? And you can get updates all around the sets which release. So did I. You can try to get it on the secondary market for a higher price or to build it yourself by buying all the bricks. Good luck!

Lets open this one up again to crowdfunding round two, some of us happened to be in a coma last January/February and for some reason being in a coma stuck full of tubes has a tendency to put a really large cramp on your internet Lego spending. I feel like someone should have informed me of how difficult it is to buy stuff when you are unconscious and almost dead, why was I not informed of this fact? What else dont I know that would prove useful, who was it who decided to keep this very important information from me? What else are you keeping from me? I think it is very clear that someone is out to get me and I need my very own Lego Mountain fortress to make me feel safe. So when does round two open?

Good and fun build, but the manual was getting very buggy at the end, I think it should be revised sometime. While building it it surprised me that here was a major strategic military error in the design of the fortress, having all your provisions after the first gate and even a safe space for invaders who breached the first line of defense would be a poor design in the middle ages, it also makes the use of having a drawbridge to the inner castle seem quite pointless ;-)

My 9 year old finished building this set last night. Completed it over two large sessions (he’s an experienced builder for someone so young). He absolutely loves this set and thought it was a brilliant building experience. We don’t have the lion castle yet (wanted it since its release), so that will be a Christmas present for us. They look like they will go great together, and with the BDP adding more castle sets over time it feels like bringing back the theme of my childhood :)

So here's the deal with the Ebay prices: a seller gets hit with ~14% fee on the sale, then there is shipping the item. Essentially, if you sell this on Ebay for $600 USD, you net ~$510 before shipping. Shipping this box (assuming it's anything close to the Lion Castle) is going to be expensive. So let's say $75 for shipping/insurance. That brings your net sale down to $435. This set retailed for $379.99 and where I live the sales tax is 8%...so the total is ~$410. So with all of the above stated, if you sell it on Ebay for $600 you will net about $25 dollars on top of getting your money back for the original item. So anyone selling this in the $500 range is certainly losing money.

The prices on ebay are just ridiculous. I'm glad no one is buying it. They should only be charging $50-$100 more. This $1000 asking is just a seller who who be stuck with it. I'd be willing to spend $600aus on one but that's as far as I'd go.

And there is only 1 set that is cheap at the moment but that's because the auction has 6 days to go.... this set will be selling for a decent profit for years to come... are you talking bad about this set because you missed out??

@bricktothehead, I prefer digital instructions as well however when I was building the UCS Falcon (75192) there was a step early on in the build the piece was shown in the wrong color. I thought maybe it was in another bag, nope. Finally searched on-line to find it was a misprint in the digital instruction. Very annoying for such a large & expensive build. That was my only bad experience with digital :)

North America is always a few days behind Europe when it comes to bricklink designer sets. I had to wait a few weeks extra last round.

how is the width becoming larger as the model opens up? Shouldn't it get smaller and have a flat side on the back?

@Pseudoty i got the same e-mail, but only once and they deducted the price of 1 Snack Shack and 1 General Store i bought together, not for this one. Do you also ordered one of those? Still, i guess this also not that far if they deducted from my bank account now those already.

@Sadeness - circumstances changed, had to be done. Don't get me wrong, I didn't WANT to but in the end it's Lego and more important stuff just happened to occur at the wrong time, couldn't be helped. Hopefully it reappears for someone else to buy though...not really sure what happens to cancelled orders.

Just got the important update email from Lego. Based on the last designer program, this is a sure sign that they are in final stages of post-production!

@EmilyLee123: you’ll be able to find on eBay or get a part List and build yourself. Granted there may be a premium on eBay. Probably have better luck on the FB market place or LEGO buy groups they’ll more than likely be priced a little lower due to the 13.5% eBay fee

Curious to know if anyone else's says "Backordered" now instead of "In Process?" This being a limited stock, how could it be on backorder?

Such a beautiful set, it would be the perfect companion to my Lion Knights castle. And as a Pole I love the castle used for inspiration as it hits close to home. Hope to one day see this set somehow given more of a run. I know that just a dream but hope is all I have for this beautiful set as I got back into Lego right after preorders.
