Calling all crit-happy adventurers! LEGO and Dungeons & Dragons have joined forces to create a legendary building experience with the LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale (21348) set. This epic 3,745-piece masterpiece brings the fantasy realm to life with stunning detail, making it a must-have for LEGO enthusiasts and D&D fans alike.
LEGO Dungeon & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale
Due for release on April 4th, 2024, Dungeon & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale retails for £314.99, although LEGO Insiders will gain early access from April 1st. Originally conceived by LEGO Ideas fan designer Lucas Bolt (aka BoltBuilds), the Red Dragon’s Tale set originally submitted his model to the 50 Years of Dungeons & Dragons challenge, which was held in collaboration with Wizards of the Coast.
The set is incredibly detailed, featuring a tavern with a removable roof, so you can see inside to the upper level. The set also features a dungeon and a tower. Also included are six LEGO minifigures – Orc Rogue, Gnome Fighter, Elf Wizard, and Dwarf Cleric, plus brick-built monsters, such as a beholder, an owlbear, and a displacer beast. Also featured is the giant Cinderhowl red dragon that builders can wrap around the tower.

“A love of history, fantasy and making games.”
Commenting on his inspiration for the design, Lucas, said, “The Dungeons & Dragons theme combined with my love of history, fantasy, and making games, inspired me to create a playable layout with different challenges and routes to explore. I had so much fun designing this piece, and it is a real privilege seeing my design developed into a detailed LEGO set to celebrate 50 years of the iconic game."
In relation to bringing Lucas’ design to life, LEGO Design Manager, Jordan Scott, said: “Lucas’ design perfectly captured the storytelling excitement of any Dungeons & Dragons game. Working with the Wizards of the Coast team, we were able to build on his design to co-create a truly authentic Dungeons & Dragons experience full of details that will excite fans through the building process and beyond.”
Order at launch to receive a LEGO Mimic
But that’s not all for DnD and LEGO fans! In addition, between 1st-7th April purchases of the LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale set will receive a LEGO Dungeons & Dragons Mimic Dice Box as a free gift.
Meanwhile, a Dungeons & Dragons adventure book will also be available from 1st April at LEGO.com/DND and D&D Beyond (along with character sheets, a digital dice and more). Finally, the LEGO Dungeons & Dragons Minifigure series will launch in September 2024.
Is my LEGO worth any money?
If you’re thinking of collecting LEGO, or have a collection already, your collection may be worth something. LEGO have released a whole host of pieces and collections over the years that may be worth investment - particularly if they are rare or discontinued. It may be that you own an original set where the packaging has changed or no longer in print, making it valuable to collectors.
Much like all toy collectables, the value of LEGO can vary over time, and the worth of it can depend on how sort after it is, and the condition. Could your old LEGO sets be worth some serious cash? Visit our LEGO Price Guide to find out if your set could be worth something.
