Will 4 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 If the theory is that it won't retire will we see modifications/upgrades? Quote

Not even released yet and talking about retirement? Maybe for now should just enjoy it for what it is, a great looking set which many will enjoy. Quote
justapilgrim Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 it will go longer than DS did, what was it, 7 years? Quote
exciter1 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 I'll get a few and moc up a cool Castle Greyskull. 4 Quote
inversion Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Thinking about the rooms in the castle and the wave 1 minifigs, it seems quite straightforward that this building is set to be populated with wave 2 figs. Why only Ariel in the first wave from all the princesses? Because she is in mermaid form. All the residents are missing. So, be prepared to see Cinderella, Beauty, Beast, Prince Charming, Snow White, human Ariel, Wizard Mickey, Rapunzel, etc. in the new wave. Quite smart product tying. If you like the figs, you want the castle for them. If you like the castle, you want residents. $$$$$$ Edited July 9, 2016 by inversion 8 Quote

Needs to be seen how it will affect the secondary market. There seem to be a lot more in the $250-$350 range...but they seem to be keeping it there. I wonder if the new Death Star will be priced at $400.00? 1 Quote

I wonder if the new Death Star will be priced at $400.00? I'm a little shocked to see that the pricing rumor wasn't right. As long as I can remember, most sets that have been leaked, have been correct on pricing. It's a nice surprise at $350, but still a bit odd. Speaking of pricing, I honestly would love to see Lego take a shot at another $500 set. Sure the MF was a slow seller, but it was a different market for Lego 8 years ago. I wonder how much better a bigger set like that would do. Quote
ednap2106 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 So is this the legit set coming out later this year? Looks awesome. Quote

I would not mind paying that much extra. Quote
dcdfan Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 This is not the dwelling you're looking for. Get it? This is not the dwell...never mind... Quote
dcdfan Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 I just saw a pic of Mickey in his wizard suit and wondered if he had multiple torsos?I think you might be right. It looks like he's in a closet and I saw that hat... 1 Quote

Alpinemaps Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 As in I'm not allowed to post that picture? No pictures of sets that are still rumored and unconfirmed from LEGO. Unless it is the official release, we don't allow it.LEGO hasn't officially announced this set yet. But they did issue a number of take down notices on the photos that were leaked yesterday. They didn't have to send one to Brickpicker, because we didn't let anyone post it. 2 Quote

Ed Mack Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 People need to realize that we get a very nice email from The LEGO Group's legal team asking us to remove images like the new Cinderella's Castle until they are ready for it to be announced. It history is any indication of future events, LEGO will be announcing this within the next few days...maybe week tops, once they realize the cat is out of the bag. 3 Quote

exciter1 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Rumors on Brickset are the press release is Monday. We might see a designer video then too. 1 Quote

In other words, we don't want TLG to have any reason to have a beef with us. So please respect that. I don't want my boss getting letters from lawyers. That's never fun. 2 Quote
jaylay Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Ha! I agree it will bring in a ton of new Lego buyers. I am curious what price it could reach in a xmas shortage scenario.If it retails for $350 and there is a shortage during the holidays then double down to $700 isn't out of the picture. Heck ide rather stock up on this then the Technic Porsche for the price. 3 Quote
