blackknightrises Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 How can you tell the character's faces are stickers? I am most disappointed about the big building pieces that just have stickers for windows. I am not even sure that my kids would like those. I would much rather have brick built walls with proper windows. I also agree that Belle is lovely. Not sure if I will get it or not. I will get the Rapunzel set though. If you look closely at their faces you can see where there is a gap between the sticker and the round tile. I don't know if the 1x1 round bricks are stickers or not though. Quote
Brickity Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 The beauty and the beast set is very ugly, even the interior. I am shocked. The minifigures are pretty good though. And I do not understand the purpose of another Rapunzel tower either. A new hairpiece for her would've been great, one which is unbraided and all the way down to her feet... it's possible no? Quote
Captain Nemo Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Having recently been sucked back into Disney movies on account of the upcoming minifigure series, I've started taking a second look at all of these Disney sets. I will say, shockingly, that I actually like the Beauty and the Beast set. I'm not opposed to stickers in principle (although I will admit, I do dislike how much detail of this set was created solely by stickers and not bricks), but they're understandably used on certain characters. Not everything can be printed after all--its costly, especially for one time use like these. Bella and Beast are nice--although the latter is ridiculously thin--both are screaming for minifigure variants, plus the all important Gaston! Please Lego! No one bricks like Gaston! On a side note, is Beast's head actually a hair piece? A 'human' hairpiece is included for his transformation, so I'm wondering if the 'beast' piece is actually just a covering for a normal mini-doll head. That would possibly mean the 'beast' headpiece could be used on minifigures...hopefully that is the case. Largely I like this set and I would by it...if it were cheaper. I think the absolute main problem is the price point. It doesn't look or feel like a $50 set. Maybe a $40 or better yet beefed up $30. Subconsciously it just spoils everything else about the set. So I'll be looking out for sales. Quote
blackknightrises Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 No one bricks like Gaston! Lol I love it. I'm waiting on the stop motion Lego video to this song now. I think the Beast's hairpiece is removable so he can transform back into the prince. Now as to whether or not TLG made that piece able to fit onto a minifigure.. And price is definitely an issue. If it was cheaper, like Captain Nemo said, then I would probably buy it as well. Quote

Yeah it's a hat/mask piece. Quote
Toc13 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I'd be happy if the price over here gets down to a $50 equivalent. UK price is $71 equivalent. $50 is roughly £35 which is about where it should be priced given the license & piece count Quote
Stice Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 When will the belle set be for sale ? anyone know ? Quote
blackknightrises Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 When will the belle set be for sale ? anyone know ? I believe it is sometime this summer but I could be wrong. Quote
BaneShake Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Couple of questions: Does Olaf's head brick fit on a regular minifigure neck? And does Beast's "Mask" head fit on regular minifigures heads, or just on minidolls? Quote
Alpinemaps Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Couple of questions: Does Olaf's head brick fit on a regular minifigure neck? And does Beast's "Mask" head fit on regular minifigures heads, or just on minidolls? I just tried Olaf's head, and yes, it does fit on a standard minifigure neck/body. Which now inspires me to make a Green Lantern Olaf. Quote

Soupperson1 Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 It seems like both Frozen sets were overstocked, there both on sale on LEGO.com I wonder will this stop the chances of sets being based off the new Tangled tv series or Maona? Quote
TheGlynreaper Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) the beauty and the beast set should be bigger piece wise though Edited May 3, 2016 by TheGlynreaper Quote
Soupperson1 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 the beauty and the beast set should be bigger piece wise though At least for the interior, there's like 40 bricks in there :/ Quote
Soupperson1 Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Anymore news on belle set yet? It's released in June in Europe, August for U.S. (I think) Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 I just noticed two things- Rapunzel gets new face, and there is a weird mirror with face in the back of the castle! I'm sure the only character stickers will be on the 2x2 round tiles. Quote
Soupperson1 Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I just noticed two things- Rapunzel gets new face, and there is a weird mirror with face in the back of the castle! That's Belle's father in the mirror, I believe. And it's about time we got new mini doll faces... Quote
CM4Sci Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Don't go looking for these just yet, but the Target DPCIs are - Rapunzel - 086-14-0781 Belle - 086-14-1782 Quote

Legocity2713 Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Beast (From Beauty and the Beast) has a headpiece that can fit on a normal figure! http://www.beardedne...the_beast04.jpg Edited May 17, 2016 by Legocity2713 Quote
Jern92 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Beast (From Beauty and the Beast) has a headpiece that can fit on a normal figure! http://www.beardedne...the_beast04.jpg Woohoo, now how do I go about acquiring just the head? Quote
TheBrickPal Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Woohoo, now how do I go about acquiring just the head? Best bet is to wait a little bit after the set releases and then buy the singular piece from Bricklink. Quote
Soupperson1 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Adam looks like he was punched in the mouth! :P Where is that torso piece from, by the way? http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/Bluecoat_Admiral Quote
