Massive Dungeons & Dragons Lego Set Has Arrived, Comes With 2 Free Kits

Dungeons & Dragons fans can now buy Lego's eye-catching and intricate D&D: Red Dragon's Tale building set. At the moment, the 3,745-piece kit is only available for Lego Insiders, but since the rewards program is free, there's really no reason not to sign up. Oh, and Lego Insiders get a free Mimic chest monster as a bonus until April 7. That's an impressive bestiary for a single Lego set.

Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale costs $360 will be available for everyone starting April 4. This elaborate D&D set--it actually comes with an adventure book to play real D&D campaigns--is exclusive to the Lego Store and will likely be quite popular, so you may not want to wait too long to snag one. In addition to the Mimic chest freebie, you'll also get a Flower Trellis Display kit for spending over $150--if you purchase the set by April 14.

The 3,745-piece set features multiple modular scenes, including an inn for the heroes to gather, a multi-room dungeon filled with traps and loot, outdoor ruins, and a large stone tower. The set also lets you build a bunch of monsters for your dungeon-delving heroes to battle, including a giant red dragon that's easily the highlight of the entire display.

You can also make well-known NPCs like The Beholder, Gelatinous Cube, Owlbear, and Displacer Beast, plus smaller creatures like skeleton warriors and Myconid mushroom people. There's also a minifigure of the evil sorcerer that rules the dungeon.

Of course, D&D isn't just about dungeons and dragons. Creating and playing your own custom character is the real draw of the game, and this D&D Lego set includes a collection of mini-figure pieces to mix and match so you can build your own custom adventuring party. Orcs, Elves, Gnomes, Dwarves, Humans, and Dragonborn are all included, and you can equip them with gear and outfits based on D&D classes like Fighters, Clerics, Bards, Rogues, and Wizards.

Hasbro is also launching a Red Dragon's Tale adventure module to accompany the Lego set. The book includes a prewritten campaign that takes you and your friends through the set's dungeons and includes all the monster stats and character information you need to play. It will be available as a downloadable PDF or through the D&D Beyond app. Lego Insiders can also spend 2,700 Insider Points to get a limited-edition paperback copy.

Plenty of D&D players already use Lego in place of painted minis for their campaigns, so pairing the Red Dragon's Tale set with an official adventure module makes sense. You could also use the Red Dragon's Tale set to play other D&D adventure books, or combine it with additional fantasy-themed Lego sets like the Medival Town Square or Lion Knight's Castle for even more Lego-based D&D adventures. Lego also announced more D&D-themed Lego sets are on the way, including more D&D minifigures launching in September.
