July 9, 20168 yr Wait anyone else notice the stud shooters in the tower? Must be some fireworks play feature.
July 9, 20168 yr Looks brilliant. Doubt I'll be able to pick it up. In all honesty, the castle as a model is beautiful. All the little design techniques, particularly the castle turrets, are superb. I sincerely hope Tinker Bell will be available at some other point, as she's too cute of a figure to pass up on.
July 9, 20168 yr That thing is amazing. I love the different theme rooms. Such a fantastic build, & the details are impressive. This will be on the non realistic wish list though.
July 9, 20168 yr Awesome. I'm slightly disappointed by the open back and the limited number of minifigures, but it's still so very awesome! All of the vignettes from different Disney films is a cool idea and looks great. I can't wait to see some bigger photos. And to get confirmed pricing so that I know how many body parts I'll need to be able to sell to afford it.
July 9, 20168 yr This looks absolutely amazing, another masterpiece by Marcos Bessa and certainly a strong contender for the set of the year award
July 9, 20168 yr Still thinking about buying 2 and making it 1 castle (with opening function) or just buy one and display it as it is. What do you guys think? It's for displaying and don't care for the play features. Money isn't the problem either.
July 9, 20168 yr This is beyond amazing, and all these metallic copper pieces.... This really is one of their masterpieces, and not too surprising coming from the guy who designed Ewok Village. Now time for the imminent Death Star disappoitment...

July 9, 20168 yr Does anyone have any clue on the press release date? It sounds like it was planned to be revealed at SDCC later in July. Whether or not that will change now that clear pictures have leaked remains to be seen.
July 9, 20168 yr It sounds like it was planned to be revealed at SDCC later in July. Whether or not that will change now that clear pictures have leaked remains to be seen. Press release on Monday. 4080 pieces
July 9, 20168 yr Finally found pictures of the set, wasn't easy. The set itself has great attention to detail, great build overall, but no back. Understandable, but a bit dissapointed in that aspect. Great UCS set in general! Edited July 9, 20168 yr by benderisgreat
July 9, 20168 yr Just picked up some Disney CMFs in anticipation of this set. Hope we see a series 2, my wife will have to have a Belle and Beast to go with this set.
July 9, 20168 yr So the designer is the same guy that designed the Ewok Village ?? He's short changed us on minifigures then ha ha .. Ewok Village 17 / Disney Castle 5 .. even if you count 2 Ewoks = 1 Disney fig .. still shortchanged !! Lol I'm sort of jesting here, would've been nice to see Cinderella at least ? Roll on the release date and then Disney Minifigs series 2 : )

It's for displaying and don't care for the play features. Money isn't the problem either. I'm considering doing the same thing, but I'm guessing that 2 sets won't cover it and that you'd still need a fair bit of extra parts for the base section. The set is better than I anticipated. There's a couple of issues for me... The open back for one, which is totally understandable unless you want a 1000 euro set. The towers could be better, not a fan of stickers for texture. Might swap out the big panels for bricks as well. I have to say the little homages to various classic Disney movies is really nice idea for the interior - because let's face it the real thing isn't exactly play feature friendly.
July 9, 20168 yr Does someone recognise the piece they used for the wizard hat from Scorcerer's Apprentice? At first I thought it was the one from the CMF series 12, but after comparing the two I'm not sure anymore... And does anyone know what the room with the purple curtains and Unikitty-tail ornament pieces is supposed to represent? I'm a huuuuuge Disney fan, but I'm kinda clueless right now
July 9, 20168 yr And does anyone know what the room with the purple curtains and Unikitty-tail ornament pieces is supposed to represent? I'm a huuuuuge Disney fan, but I'm kinda clueless right now I'm guessing it represents the real suite contained on that level in the actual castle.

July 9, 20168 yr I'm guessing it represents the real suite contained on that level in the actual castle. Yip, almost certainly the Castle Suite.
July 9, 20168 yr I think it looks great. Not enough minifigures. I wish LEGO would release a castle like this for the Castle theme. I'm wondering if the shields in this set will be printed or stickered. They look cool, and I would want them if printed.
July 9, 20168 yr I guess my only question is how bad is BLing Tinkerbell gonna sting the wallet? Certainly not as bad as buying the whole shebang, at any rate.

At first I thought it was the one from the CMF series 12, but after comparing the two I'm not sure anymore... You're overthinking it. It is the Series 12 hat. LEGO didn't need to make a new piece for it, so they didn't .
