The designer seems like such a wholesome, fun dude, and it's a killer set but damn there were some odd design choices. I wouldn't have considered keeping the olive green on the inn but changing the timbers for brown saves it, nice thinking 👌

This is an amazing glow up to the original. I love how the dark tan pieces are reused for the roofing. This is a fantastic upgrade!

I found that the inn connected to the tower and other building was juxtaposing. The house is practically in half. I’m thinking of separating and then building the second identical half of the building. Gives me freedom to make a house and completes the inn.

I Love the new look of the half timbered green House. It should have been like that from the start.

One of the few that actually like the olive green and dark tan but your modifications are tasteful

Idk, i prefer the original inn, i think olive green/dark tan is a really nice earthy combo. Love the new roofs on the left buildings though.

I love those upgrades!✨

I love how the dark tan and the tan roofs lok with a little bit of tiling! The added thickness actually suits them very well, nicely done! Although, I actually like the dark tan/olive green combo for the inn, since it feels like it balances out the contest present in the other buildings. But I absolutely think it looks bad on its own. If the inn was its own set it would look awful.

I really like what you’ve done here. Would have been cool if you included the pics of other colour swaps you saw online. Also, I love how LEGO handled the straw roof on the Snow White set, I think it would look great implemented here.

I tried to find one of a black raven inn, yellow & black mod but couldn't find the og source.

W color swap, although I think it’s cool that Lego was experimenting with more niche color combinations

I have to make these changes! It looks great!

I like the upgrades you made to the roofs! It's always funny to me when people are like why didn't Lego do that? Probably because it's an extra 100-200 parts which would cost an extra $10-$20. So they have a price point to hit and are limited by that. Making a better roof makes a set more expensive. But well done, you are an amazing builder. Keep the updates and mocs coming!

@bricksbyficks6448 Exactly, @bricksbyficks6448, why don’t people just realize that if Lego put exactly everything that THEY wanted in their set, it would cost way more.

I clicked SOOOO fast when I saw this video come up! I absolutely love the changes to the tavern for the simplicity of the change, the creative re-use of those dark tan parts, and the final color palette. Well done! I'm still not sold on the tan thatch roof for the red and black building. (Not featured in this video) Most image searches for buildings in that color scheme have dark brown/black/dark red roofing, which I think looks great. I might be inclined to try swapping out the tan thatched roof with dark pentagonal tiles, using a pattern similar to the medieval Blacksmith. The tan thatch parts could then be repurposed to fill out the other tan roof atop the carpentry shop - though I'm not 100% sold on this color for that building either. I may just save all the tan parts for a peasant hovel MOC somewhere else. Might just have to try another pentagonal roof tile design on the carpentry shop, color to be determined. Nevertheless, excellent work! Your changes are a very nice upgrade. Now just need a few more farm animals and we're reaching perfection!

Look much better with Reddish Brown!

Wow! That inn looks WAY better, the roofs too! Keep up the good work man 👏👏

Once the properly colored pieces come out, I think I'm keeping the dark tan frame on the Inn but swapping the olive green with sand blue. Yours looks good, too, with less pieces.

I really wish they made the inn how you did it

Genious. Now the roofs look more like turf roofs, and much more interesting.

Great simple changes, makes me wonder why they didnt go with this in the first place? Especially those roofs which were particularly poor.

I highly agree with the color change in the tavern. There needed to be more contrast between the wood and the wall filling. However I will make mine red and black like the other side (and change the interior a bit as well) so I have a full guarded in with full amenities and such. The roofs are interesting to tinker with them. I will want to try at least one with shingles like the medieval blacksmith (in black , red and dark red) If you find a good custom print supplier that can do the letters and the building signs I would love to see how this set could look with those being proper prints.

I love your adjustments, they look great! (Super sorry about my previous comment, it was meant for a completely different video lol)

Like the alternate colors dude keep it up 👍🏼

Still not sold on the roofs, but your Inn does look ace. I really like that recolouring. Great idea, easy to do. Thx!

The first time I saw it I was so hyped but the second i saw the adjustments I felt like the original version was too bad 👍👍😄😄👏👏👏

This elevates it to an actually good looking set! Such a weird decision to leave the roofs so bare in the original..

@BobBob-jy9ue

Actually good looking?! Are you stupid? The set looks fantastic even without these modifications.

Looks great! I have modified the roofs, but have not yet modified the dark tan timber frame to be brown, but I'm considering it when my parts inventory is restocked with brown (thanks Riverwood 😂). Another modification I made is tiling off the floors in the inn building. Only the bottom level is tiled off, and it looks a bit unfinished, especially since the other building has most of the floors tiled off. It's almost like the designer ran out of budget, and left the floors bare in one building, and the roofs bare on the other.

I plan to fix my inn as well in some way so its nice to see a visual of how it would look before I make the decision to buy pieces. Still on the hunt for photos of someone who made it color match with the red building on the other half though

Day one of waiting on more and lore

Thank you for being better and more innovative than Lego designers. It's weird.

Changes are great. But the designers did built everything. Much easier to switch some parts than build it from the ground up.

Seems like I am in the minority that doesn't mind the dark tan/olive green combination, but the brown does look good as well. The roofing is definitely an improvement.

Great Idea to Swap it, it looks mich better. Did you know the number of dots of the big plates between the sections? If they are 8x16 I can buy 2 of them in the legoland Günzburg Fabrik to change it 😊 I already thought of changing the roofs of the cheese factory and the roof besides but I thought of using 1x2 ingot bars in dark green and dark red (already bought today in Legoland)

Nice. Everything looks way better. Now I have to place a bricklink order for some parts.

Right in the nail!!!

I love these I definitely want to do them when I get this set. I still really don’t like the red building, I understand the reference but I don’t like how it boarders on the olive green. I’m thinking of how to change it. Maybe just more olive green?

I’m going to be doing the same adjustments as you did love the idea and video 😊😊😊👍👍😆😆😃😃😍😍

By the way I have a suggestion can you make a story of a hero against an evil knights and they go on an adventure I say this because I really liked the Wolfpack video 😊

I love the roof changes, and totally agree. The old ones were far too plain and looked unfinished. However, I dont actually mind the dark tan / olive green color scheme of the Inn. I always interpreted it as a half-timber frame building that was painted over, and the green colors have aged differently for the walls and timbers.

Lake theme from pokemon diamond and pearl

I don't like the white and red houses. their paints aren't earthy like the others

While you're at it, fix the medieval women wearing pants, which is not historically accurate, especially when they got it right on the 2008 medieval town version.

I hope lego changes the set

I was right

Mmmmmm

Honestly, I think I'd just prefer black plates for the roofs, none of this thatched (or partially thatched, like wtf) nonsense

I half believe that Lego purposely makes these sets flawed to a certain point just so they'll either inspire builders to "fix" their sets or sell more Lego pieces. lol. The Inn looks so much better with the brown timber.

Yo great video again. Wondering if you have s discord or something?
