It felt super surreal to work on an official LEGO Castle product more than 10 years after joining this forum as a young castle fan :D
I also tried to make sure it's a great general medieval building parts pack for reuse in MOCs :wink:
Congrats on having your idea turned into an official Lego set!

I’m looking forward to building this, and I’m probably going to buy a second set just for the parts. :)

The Ideas submission was by Florian, aka BrickHammer, but I had the pleasure of being the LEGO Designer who got to to work on translating it into the final product.

I thought the design of the set seemed familiar in style. Nicely done on it.

Ah, I misunderstood your role. I’m sorry for that.

Being a Lego designer must be an interesting job, although I’m sure it can be challenging at times.

My husband and I are going to a Heilung “ritual” (what they call their concerts) early next month. I’m sure I’ll really be in the mood for all things Viking after that!

I didn't know you were the designer who translated the original IDEA submission into a set! Great job, Mr. Soccerkid! :D
