LEGO 43222 100th Anniversary Disney Castle

Product Information

Where the newer one is a big upgrade over the original is in the minifigure department. Eight minifigures, 4 iconic Princesses and their male counterparts are a much more exciting inclusion, making this feel like a proper celebration of Disney through the ages. Coolness [4]– Great minifigures and awe-inspiring display presence make this a standout set to proudly display

Well-known characters – The set features 8 LEGO minifigures: Disney's Cinderella, Prince Charming, Snow White, Prince Florian, Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder LEGO: July 1, 2023, for VIPs; July 4, 2023, for everyone There’s a much-appreciated map for almost every Easter egg Image: Cheesey Studios Creative build – A challenging build full of hidden details for any Disney fan to enjoy. explore the world within the castle as you bring it to life and create an impressive display piece to admire Of course, for most Disney fans, a big consideration for this set is 71040 Disney Castle, released in 2016 and only just recently retired. This scale and pricepoint allows LEGO to go large, which all but ensures pleasing build techniques, generous element usage, plenty of sand blue, and an interior filled with nods to so many Disney characters and films that didn’t make it as minifigures.Illustrated instructions – This eye-catching set comes with a premium booklet featuring details about the castle and model concept, a designer interview and instructions to guide you through the build The set marks Flynn Rider and Rapunzel’s first outing as LEGO minifigures, and because of Tangled’s popularity and recency, makes this the most sought-after minifigure duo from this set. Uncompromising quality – ever since 1958, LEGO components have met stringent industry standards to ensure they connect consistently

Distinctive gift – The castle measures over 80 cm (31.5 in.) high, 59 cm (23 in.) wide and 33 cm (13 in.) deep, and makes a fun gift idea for yourself or anyone with a passion for Disney films If the new LEGO Disney Castle wasn’t already an incredible build by itself, the company makes it even more compelling by including eight all-new and exclusive figures. I mean, it just wouldn’t be a Disney Castle without some royalty to fill its halls after all. And the LEGO Group really delivers. Fittingly for a build meant to encapsulate the entire 100-year span of Disney animation, set number 43222 includes a total of eight minifigures ranging from classic characters up to more recent additions to the Disney Vault. Each one is entirely new for this set and, as of now, exclusive to this model. We previously reported that it would be in the form of a collectible minifigure series, but last week also saw the LEGO Group officially announce the collaboration. Now today 9to5Toys can confirm some of the first information on what to expect from the entire upcoming wave of sets. Past LEGO Classic Animation-style sets A challenging build full of hidden details for any Disney fan to enjoy; explore the world within the castle as you bring it to life and create an impressive display piece to admire The build was quite engaging throughout, with just a splash of repetition for the walled section. As you build it, you begin with the base where it really dawns on you just how large the footprint of the LEGO Disney Castle will be.

Set number 43222 isn’t the first time we’ve seen Disney Castle get the LEGO treatment over the years, but it is the most impressive. The new rendition celebrating the 100th anniversary of Disney fittingly pulls out all of the stops to deliver what I can only describe as one of the coolest LEGO kits of all time. LEGO and Disney have announced 43222 Disney Castle, an all-new LEGO Disney Castle designed to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary. Share your love of Disney Princess characters and their partners with this LEGO ǀ Disney: Disney Castle (43222) set. Based on several well-known Disney Princess films, this detailed set showcases different rooms, classic Disney references, nostalgic details, plus a special time capsule commemorating 100 years of Disney films, all in a unique castle designed for display. It also features a spinning dance floor in the grand ballroom and an ‘enchanted' fireplace that rotates to reveal the iconic spinning wheel from the Sleeping Beauty film.

Disney Castle’s various sections can be removed from one another to more easily move the model from place to place and there’s even a section of the instructions dedicated to proper handling. However, some early reviewers still needed convincing as to how convenient it is to move and display the larger 2023 model. Tiago notes that finding a place big enough to keep 43222 Disney Castle is going to be a challenge in itself too.What do you think of 43222 Disney Castle? Will you be adding this to your wishlist? I’d love to know what you think especially if you own the original! But if you already own the original castle, it’s hard to make that same recommendation. It is undeniably similar to the 2016 version, as one would expect for a model representing the same real-world object at the same scale. If you simply glance at the two models, not comparing them side by side, it’s hard to see most of the differences apart from color. They’re so similar that even displaying them side-by-side on a shelf would look decidedly odd to casual visitors and non-AFOLs. So i f you’re an owner of the original, I think it would be hard to justify purchasing this set unless you’re the type of Disney fan who wants to own one of every Disney LEGO set for its own sake. Disney Castle will be released on 1 July 2023 for LEGO VIPs, and will be available exclusively from LEGO.com or your local LEGO store. If you simply glance at the two models, not comparing them side by side, it’s hard to see most of the differences apart from colour.”
