By doing so, you support us<\/a> \u2013 thank you!<\/p>\n The Ideas fan designer has made free building instructions available so you can turn the bricks into a slick alternate build. So before this popular D&D set leaves the lineup soon, we\u2019re showing you the alternate instructions.<\/p>\n Back in March 2024, the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons was celebrated with the LEGO Ideas set \u201cThe Red Dragon\u2019s Tale\u201d<\/a>, but now the big castle ruins are on the LEGO End of Life list for 2026<\/a> and will be leaving the lineup at the end of the month. So before the D&D set goes EOL at the end of the month, we\u2019d like to introduce you to the elaborate alternate instructions that come straight from the original designer himself.<\/p>\n LEGO Dungeons & Dragons Alternate Build<\/p>\n Under the title \u201cA Parallel Saga,\u201d LEGO Ideas fan designer Lucas Bolt has built a new model out of the bricks from the Dungeons & Dragons set that works as an alternative or even as an expansion to the original. A tall tower stands on the cliffs, reached by a winding staircase leading up the mountain.<\/p>\n A total of 3,311 pieces are used, all of which come from the 3,745 pieces in LEGO 21348 The Red Dragon\u2019s Tale, so you can simply rebuild the Ideas model without having to order any additional individual bricks. Lucas emerged as the winner of the D&D Ideas contest in 2023 with his design, which then went on to become the official LEGO set. As a thank you, he\u2019s making the building instructions for the alternate build completely free on Rebrickable<\/a>, where you can simply download the PDF.<\/p>\n The \u201cParallel Saga\u201d model promises lots of little details, surprises during the build, and of course new monsters for the adventurers to take on. My personal highlight is the giant hermit crab living beneath the cliffs, whose snail shell is part of the staircase.<\/p>\n Since the same pieces were used, the alternate build matches the original well in terms of color and can even be attached as an expansion if you have two copies of LEGO 21348 The Red Dragon\u2019s Tale.<\/p>\n Current Deals & EOL Date<\/p>\n The alternate build from Bolt.Builds relies on the bricks from the LEGO 21348 The Red Dragon\u2019s Tale set, which you can find directly at LEGO.com<\/a> as well as at select other retailers. The RRP is $359.99 \/ \u00a3314.99 \/ \u20ac359.99.<\/p>\n If you want to grab the LEGO Dungeons & Dragons set, whether for the alternate build or not, you shouldn\u2019t wait too long, because the set is on the End of Life list and is officially set to leave the lineup on July 31, 2026. It may stay available for a little while after that, but if demand is high and stock runs out, it could sell out even sooner.<\/p>\n How do you like the D&D alternate build, and can you picture yourself building it? As an alternative, or as an expansion to your fantasy world? Will you miss the Dungeons & Dragons set, and would you like to see new models from this world? Feel free to share your thoughts on the free building instructions in the comments.<\/p>\n![\"LEGO](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/lego-21348-a-parallel-saga-alternativ.png\")
