OttoRiver Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 I think its still too vague to tell if that set is even happening or what shape it will be in when it releases. The survey leak image is a spitting image of the Animated cottage, which I doubt Disney will be recreating wholesale for the live action version especially if the Dwarfs are not even conceptually the same now either. To that end, they put a lot of effort into a set mockup just to do a 180 on visuals which I don't see Lego putting that amount of money/time into doing. On that note, we are 100% sure the survey leaks were real, right? It wasn't just an elaborate hoax that Lego took down the images just to be safe?
Jarreth2 Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 @hikouki .. I completely agree with you regarding The Little Mermaid sets .. I would have loved to have seen 3 or 4 smaller sets based on the classic animated version, for me these would have been Daughters of Triton ( without Ariel ha ha ), Ariel’s Grotto, Ursula’s Lair, Kiss the Girl or perhaps Ariel and Eric’s carriage ride, then Happily Ever After .. not that Lego would produce so many sets based on only one Disney movie when there are so many to chose from. I sincerely hope that if the Snow White’s Cottage leak comes to fruition that it is the classic animated version and not the upcoming live action. The Snow White minifigure in the leaked image seems to be the one from the new castle, although the image is blurry. We know from past experience though that minifigures in concept images tend to be what they call ‘place holders’ @OttoRiver the survey leaked image of the cottage for me wasn’t anything at all like the cottage from the classic movie, the colours were wrong, the height was wrong, it was all wrong for me. The Lego Ideas set that they rejected .. twice by Hanwasyellowfirst was just perfect IMO
hikouki Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Of all the Disney sets that have come out this year, it has only been the Castle, Clamshell and Enchanted Treehouse (minidoll), that appear not have sold out in any way, at least on the US web site. I don't have hard data but that's what I noticed from periodically checking the web site. The repeat, the remake, and the minidoll set, respectively, are the ones not selling as much as the other ones. I do hope Lego takes this into account for the coming years.

Remember, Disney decided to make the Little Mermaid set after the live-action instead of the classic. It's been awfully quiet...no news yet for the last three remaining 100 sets, as well as Agrahbah. I think a lot of this is dependent on how Disney chooses to market the film and its merchandise. For example, most of the toys released in conjunction with the live-action Mulan were still centered on the classic animated film--whereas the toys released in conjunction with the recent live-action Littler Mermaid were actually based on the new film.
Jarreth2 Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 Everything’s gone quiet since the Disney Castle release .. hopefully there’s something soon .. I keep refreshing Insta every time I go on there, but nothing .. I still keep hoping for something Beauty and the Beast or animated Little Mermaid 🙏🏼 lol

That was the biggest item, albeit ending up to be somewhat of a letdown for being a re-hash. I, too, and hoping for something more substantial to come.
BrickBob Studpants Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 According to @Lego_Minecraft_Goat, 43231 is based on Wish. No word on what the other unknown sets are based on
Surge Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 yea to me personally, being a disney princess set it was all but confirmed 43231 would be wish based now all thats left is the $20 and $100 classic sets. just to maybe speak my dreams into existance nothing would make me happier than them being a beauty and the beast and lion king set, but ik getting both of those is quite unlikely. any work on the agrabah release? is it october like these other 3?

With Lego's current pricing scheme, how much substance could you fit into a $20 set???

Darth Shadowthrone Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 This is gonna be controversial but I I’d actually prefer live-action figures - as a minifigure customiser it’s always useful to get more diverse faces and skin tones and purists would find it quite easy to swap the heads and hands if they want all the characters to be white Regardless of which version of film the potential set is based on, how much might the set be? I’m imagining anywhere between the Winnie the Pooh set to the little mermaid clam

I just don’t care if they are animated or live action myself. Regardless what I just said, I do agree with you that skin tones and different face prints are much needed. Hovever, if you want a certain torso, you would find some skin tone (for example, some space under neck and above collar) may not match with other skin tone (head and hands). Sorry if my writing is not more clear. Edited July 28, 2023 by Lion King
OttoRiver Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Microscale Agrabah looks to be set for October 1, no word on the minifigure or if there will be one. I did see someone post on IG about another 40659 being a Disney GWP in October as well. Did we know about this or is this new?

So in summary: Oct - 40613 Agrabah microscale set Oct - 43231 Wish set (Brick Clicker says it may be minidoll? 509pcs) 43223 - ??? ($20/ 154pcs) 43224 - ??? ($100/604pcs) mid-Oct - 40659 - GWP (429pcs) A month or two ago, someone said that the larger set was listed as "Disney Princess"... but maybe not? I'm just hoping we finally see Beauty and the Beast! There have been a lot of false leaks lately. Edited July 31, 2023 by hikouki

OttoRiver Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Buildable Stitch Figure said to be releasing. Do we think that's $20 or $100? I'd love it to be 43223 if only to keep my hopes up that 43224 is Beauty and the Beast somehow EDIT: Just hit me that this may be the GWP. Edited August 1, 2023 by OttoRiver

But we’ve had two Stitch CMFs and so far no Lilo. I wouldn’t ask for Lilo as a buildable, but we gotta have a Lilo minifig at some point!
BrickBob Studpants Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 It's kinda ridiculous we have 2024 rumours already, and yet still don't know what those two October sets are A buildable Stitch sounds neat!

She could come in her hula outfit with a camera or an Elvis record as an accesory (or even her doll) On other things, I didn't expect a second Disney GWP. Wonder what will it be.
karrit Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 I'm not one for buildable figures usually. But, as a huge Stitch fan I will definitely need to get this one. Kind of glad they went with a buildable figure rather than a Brickhead though. But they'll probably do a Brickhead eventually also.

Which would be funny, considering that Stitch was among the options people could vote on for the 150th Brickhead Well, they never said they wouldn’t also release the runner-ups eventually
THELEGOBATMAN Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 I've never bought a LEGO buildable figure or an object. This will change with Stitch. I love him too much, he's one of my favourite childhood characters (and definitely my favourite creature, along with Scrat).

Watching Lilo & Stitch for the first time is one of my core memories! I really hope he’s done justice. If the quality is anywhere near the level we saw with Simba leak, then we’re in good hands.
