weitzel78 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Will this set include minifigs? If so will they be the same as the Disney series one - mickey, minnie, daffy, donald, tinker bell? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 It's the internet. It's to be expected. Kids expect it. Parents expect it and protect their computers if they care... it's normal. I don't see the need to protect them from words. They hear it at school on the playground, during sports... Don't get what the big deal is and why some people feel it's their responsibility "to protect the little minds". Swear words were pretty common place in my family growing up, they're just colourful adjectives that can really help drive a point. Not sure I'll ever get it. : shrug : 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Donald and Daisy could be the same, but the Mickey, Tinker Bell, and Minnie look "exclusive".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbenioff Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Why are parts of the castle tan instead of white.? its is a jarring contrast especially with the real castle being white right behind it in the one picture. While it looks excellent otherwise, this seems like a poor aesthetic choice by the designer that really detracts from what could have been an all-time great set.

I thought the same until you look at the real castle and notice it is a light tan or beige with white trim. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego has a fascination this year with tan. The remake will be with white... Edited July 8, 2016 by dcdfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they retire this set when the could put it in dozens (maybe hundreds) of souvenir shops throughout DisneyWorld and DisneyLand and sell them to rich visitors? It may never retire. It could make a wonderful display and be one of the best selling Tchotchkes ever sold by Disney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Maybe the pics I've seen over on reddit aren't doing full justice.... but I'm a bit underwhelmed to be honest. I thought it was going to be BIG. For a $400 USD pricepoint, I feel like the completed build wouldn't feel satisfying for the price paid. This is the first exclusive set (besides that recent "UCS" set of course) that I've had these sentiments towards. Feels strange to me. Maybe I just need more pics.

Zelgazra Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I guess that makes it marginally better for the value in my eyes. Still need at least 2 copies + extra parts to make something jaw dropping though. I'm spoiled by that MOCs thread I think, some AFOL interpretations on this have been utterly impressive, and currently I don't think this meets those expectations I'd somehow set up for myself. Foolish I know. Meh, maybe it'll save me $350 USD. Probably not... I'll submit eventually won't I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 This is early VIP set for 8/17 correct? I was wondering why they brought back Olaf as free gift for August AND special Disney Princess build event on 8/13 Nice job LEGO marketing team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
