episode 7: Extra Pieces: Black Friday 2023: Avengers; Majisto’s return; Orient Express
Welcome back to podcast. By the time you have listened to this Black Friday will be but a distant memory.
In this episode we discuss the virtues of the reimaginined 40601 Majisto's Magical Workshop - celebrating 30 years since the debut of the Dragon Knights and the first appearance of Majisto the Wizard.
You can read Richard's review of this set, and checkout his attempts to replicate the back of the box builds based on the original. https://ramblingbrick.com/2023/11/17/40601-majistos-workshop-review/
In his quest to modify the set to recapture some of Dragon Knights era magic, but for the modern day, Richard also looked at modern options available to upgrade the minifigures of Majisto's Workshop.
