CM4Sci Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I'm a bit disappointed the only proper sets (not counting Juniors or Palace Pets) are both Frozen, especially as Elsa and Anna aren't even officially Disney Princesses. I was hoping for a Belle, Snow White or Mulan (not too bothered about Pocahontas and Tiana), and possibly another Merida and/or Rapunzel set (because they're my two favourites). I could imagine Snow White not even being hard to make, as she could use the hairpiece used for Anna and Ms Stevens in Friends. And she could come with a little cottage a bit like this clone-brand set: That's a surprisingly good build for a knock off brand. Quote
Soupperson1 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Cinderella and Kristoff have new face prints! It's really weird we have Wildflower before Pochahontas though :P Quote
Bricksnaps Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Lego. I just sung your praises in another thread. However, the Disney sets are lame. Characters are good, but please give our girls something to actually build. The trading post is completely pathetic. Mentioned in a previous comment that it is flat...that's true, make a building that girls can spend an hour or so building and can play in the inside and out. Really disappointed Lego. You let yourself down this time. Quote
Wardancer Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 How likely is that the reindeer is preliminary? Quote
8BrickMario Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 It's preliminary. S@H photos are plagued by mistakes, like Gorilla Grodd. Quote
K4kitty Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I'll be getting my girls both Frozen sets each (I might try to mod the trading post into a proper building) Quote
rodiziorobs Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 The Arendelle set looks like it has lots of nice parts, even though the set itself is somewhat lacking. Probably not enough to justify the price, I bet. Also, I like the Cinderella juniors set. I had wanted to pick up the original coach but never did, and now this one has the same parts I wanted with some others, as well. Quote
Ultron Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Is it just me, or does the arendelle castle set look 2D almost? It's kinda weird Quote
9v system Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Is it just me, or does the arendelle castle set look 2D almost? It's kinda weird Yea it does look 2d ish however I will get both sets for parts and that slide part for my zigzag module. Quote
Soupperson1 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I wonder will Aira's legs mould and Wildflower's mould be used in a Pochahontas set? Heck, they could recolour the pug for Percy! :D Quote
9v system Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I think the palace pets suck. what are they for anyway? Quote
gedren_y Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Disney Princesses Palace Pets is an existing TV show. It has the various pets of the Disney Princesses, in their respective universes, go through magical portals to a world where they can all talk and have their own adventures. I caught part of an episode on Disney Channel midday. It was fairly ridiculous to me, but I'm not the target demographic. Apparently it is popular enough to warrant its own toys. TLG should have no problem recreating the show using mostly the Friends style animals. These should be a relatively inexpensive source for some of the newer detail parts. Quote
lottie_cat Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Lots of little girls are animal mad - I was one of those way back when - and Disney have specifically tapped into that with the Palace Pet line and looked to lock in success by tying them to their classic Princesses. Walk through the Disney Store and you'll see a lot of their dolls now come with their respective (glitter-mauled) pets. Their sudden heavy appearance in LEGO isn't that surprising... They're LEGO's target audience, not us. Although I too am a little disappointed that the only 'proper' Princess sets are just the two and both exclusively Frozen-themed... (From 6, to 4, to theoretically '2'? Ouch!) Some of these may well look better in person though, sometimes I find the promo shots don't always do (some) sets any favours... On the other hand, 'Treasure' (Ariel's Cat) is notoriously difficult to make look good as a toy - Build a Bear produced a version with this long brush-able side fringe that made the poor cat look like a certain dictator... I get the sense mine (because who am I kidding,I will buy all of these sets) will end up disappearing off to hang out with some of those Nexo Knight bad guys at the end of the day. Look at it on the plus side for us AFOLs, new animal moulds! The head-gear all looks detachable, so having Windflower certainly looks positive for a future Meeko (and Pocahontas) appearance. The bright colours of the new critters that we have will nicely populate out the expanding Elves' fantasy forest... I certainly will be tracking down extra Windflowers if her tail is as sweetly done as her face. If they sell well, LEGO may well knock out a few more Pets.. So perhaps a lilac panda (Mulan), peacock, elephant, lynx, pink skunk, new tiger mould... The vegetation around my various Castles look pretty barren of life since those Friends Animals Packs bit the dust, so expansions in beasties (even in fantastical colours) is VERY welcome from this fan! ... Although Treasure is pretty bad, it has to be said. Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 We're also getting DUPLO sets of Miles from Tomorrowland, whatever that is. Quote
8BrickMario Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 All I know is that it's a futuristic animated show set in a location from the Disney parks... Quote
Sarah Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Lots of little girls are animal mad - I was one of those way back when - and Disney have specifically tapped into that with the Palace Pet line and looked to lock in success by tying them to their classic Princesses. My 4 year old is one of them. She doesn't care about the Disney princesses. But the can stand in the aisles for tens of minutes trying to decide which animal to take home with her! Quote
just2good Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Eurobricks exclusive, if anybody asks for more here or in a PM I'm gonna jump off a cliff. Quote
CM4Sci Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Never mind that, saved J2G from any cliff jumpings Edited October 27, 2015 by CM4Sci Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Hey, j2g! Not to make you jump off a cliff or anything... but can you pm me pics of the thing CM4sci stole your thunder with? Alright! That reindeer looks usable actually! I might get this depending on the price! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
strangely Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Wish the door had been printed, the stickers don't look great. Come to think of it has Lego ever printed on that door piece? It is a nice little set though. Nice variety in colors. Really I'm almost tempted to buy a set from this theme next year. Edited October 27, 2015 by strangely Quote

Amazing Bricks Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Eurobricks exclusive, if anybody asks for more here or in a PM I'm gonna jump off a cliff. I'm definitely impressed with these two sets. Much better than the previous frozen set. Edited October 28, 2015 by amazingbricks Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) I'm already off the cliff! Nah, Sci is a better guy than I. It's true because it rhymes. Only statements that rhyme are true. Not a single time will a false phrase rhyme. Nice set! Oooh! Wait wow wow wow huh? Lavender flower stems? Oh my gods.... I... I don't know what to do... I think I need those in large numbers. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 27, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote
