MusiKyle Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) https://www.promobricks.de/lego-disney-princess-2020-bilder-und-infos-zu-den-ersten-sets/89267 Looks like they're taking a page out of the Polly Pocket book, literally. Reminds me of pop-up books and there are what I would call "microdolls"? Very interesting. If this Disney "book" idea catches on these could end up being highly collectible. All the books, all the microdolls, completionists dream. Edited November 19, 2019 by MusiKyle 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Smart. Now I want an Aladdin "book" (based on the cartoon, not whatever they showed in theaters earlier this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I like the idea. Wish the book was actual Lego and not a plastic shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brystheguy Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 There's like 40 actual lego pieces in that thing. Kind of lame from that perspective as there's not much room to do something else with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Twain Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I like the idea. Wish the book was actual Lego and not a plastic shell.

Sandwraith Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Uh oh, overly large LEGO pieces made to replace a bunch of smaller ones, can't remember a time this backfired on them.....? Looking at you late 90's/early 2000's sets i had as a kid... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicSpeed Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I guarantee this will morph into Star Wars sets. That said, my girls are going to love this. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Twain Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 The trend appears to be smaller and cheaper sets for a younger audience between 5-9ish across most themes which is interesting shift away from larger more expensive sets.

I would bet that the demographic most apt to pay full price on toys throughout the year are the shoppers looking for a $15-$20 birthday gift for 5-8 year olds.

Kind of lame from that perspective as there's not much room to do something else with it. Four "books" ranging in piece count from 100-170ish. Looks like they are hinged together by technic pins. Kids can mix and match covers. I wonder if LEGO is aiming at a lower age because the whole "princess" phase is fairly short. At age 4, the kids are still trying to figure out what they like. By age 10/11 my daughter was already moving away from princess stuff. I could see parents getting all four "books" for their children and although I would consider $20 a bit high for what you get, it's a relatively easy buy-in for parents. Kind of at that "birthday party" price range too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHawkeye Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I like that this adds portability by making the sets self-contained Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I couldn't find anything listed on the forum already so here goes: LEGO Disney 43174 Mulan’s Storybook LEGO Disney 43176 Ariel’s Storybook LEGO Disney 43177 Belle’s Storybook I like the concept of those storybooks. Those microdolls look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supergman Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 So strange to me how so many sets have scaled back in terms of piece count and overall size. The old tower was a great set. This thing looks like it's missing so much. However, if it's anything like the old $40 set that sold for $200, I'm in for 100! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
