In either case the images are not linked to the site. I downloaded them and then attached them to the post....in case you feel rebellious

LEGO watches everything and we don't need an email from corporate.  I'm sure this will be live on their site very soon.

Don't tell me LEGO is big brother (out of 1984)

It kind of looks like this, but 4 times the size, 4 times the details, and 5 times MSRP

I would like to see the pics also.  That way I can show them to my wife who is a Disney fanatic, which will then allow me to buy it

 

Thanks

[Brian Briggs]

I'd be grateful if anyone would send me those pictures as I'd love to see them, too.

Yes, they are.  As they should be, they need to protect their IP (Intellectual Property).

Occasional times in the past, we've left photos up until LEGO has told us to remove them.  I've seen the letters from their lawyers.  Rather than giving their lawyers extra work, let's let them do less work, and start going after the true IP thieves that we always complain about.

As soon as pics become available officially, we'll get them out there.

We don't/can't control what happens via PMs, just ask that there are no more PM requests here in the thread.

Looks pretty much like this...

There is a great picture of it up on reddit now if anyone still needs to see it. It's in r/lego

Although the 3 towers in the back are left off, the window on the main building too big while the building itself too short, and the spires on the small towers too tiny and squished. Some ratios are really visibly off.

It is an epic set anyway and like it very much, but it is more like the Disney Death Star rather than a Disney landmark.

hmm this forum got shorter.

Nice to see those exclusive tourist minifigs in ED's photo

I'm glad they did the DisneyWorld version instead of DisneyLand.

Very cool looking set.  I like how they made it in a style similar to the Tower of Orthanc, and I definitely think it cracks a top 15 of all time lego set list. 

Although to be frank, I doubt i'll buy this... simply because I don't want it taking up the amount of space it would require, and I dont have a daughter.

I will never understand why people on sites that will clearly attract kids have to post swear words. I have nothing against them since I have a gutter mouth but kids are clearly gonna check out Disney Lego pics. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME...
