Over at Eurobricks, CM4SCI posted a source revealed the next direct to consumer (aka "exclusive") will be Cinderella's Castle.  Brickfan reports it will contain minifigs (not the doll-like ones from Princess and Friends). Maybe a Sept, release...

By the way, I found this page at brickset. I expect it will be based on the castle at Disney World or the 2015 movie. Likely the WDW version  I also think this set will be huge if the design Is better than the last 3 2016 D2C sets. Disneymania will sweep through the LEGO community.

I really doubt it, unless Disney and LEGO part ways.  Why would they retire this set when the could put it in dozens (maybe hundreds) of souvenir shops throughout DisneyWorld and DisneyLand and sell them to rich visitors?  It may never retire.  It could make a wonderful display and be one of the best selling Tchotchkes ever sold by Disney.  

I wouldn't even want to think about Disney and Lego parting ways, wouldn't that mean no more Star Wars Lego?

Folks, seriously please stop asking for PMs. There are multiple ways to find this. If it involves PMs here please send the PM to a user yourself. It's very easy.

So, this is no longer a rumor, like it says in the title...

Ouch. My bad. I guess if this was truly a rumor, Lego wouldn't care less if we had pictures...

Yep, still a rumor.  Until there's some sort of official announcement from LEGO, I'll leave it marked rumor.

I'm kinda surprised it only comes with 5 minifigures. I really expected more...

Is it 2 Mickey's or one?

Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy Duck and Tinkerbell...

Maybe cinderella`s castle should have come with, well you know, cinderella? Just a thought lego.

 

 

Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy Duck and Tinkerbell...

I just saw a pic of Mickey in his wizard suit and wondered if he had multiple torsos?

Disney minifigures + this set = lots of happy children

That would be cool. Strange but cool...

I was at the LEGO store today. It was at the top of the August release list. VIP 8/17. Full release 9/1. $349.99 USD

I've seen that pic.  I think it was Mickey standing next to a chest that has a wizard's hat (from the Sorcerer's Apprentice).

That's the most confirmation that we've gotten from it.  That, and Lego has been issuing take down notices all day, including to Reddit.

This set should spawn a whole new legion of LEGO fans from the Disney fan base.

I expect this to boost the entire LEGO market, especially larger, more expensive sets. Customers who make this their first big LEGO purchase will now be more likely to buy other sets that interest them. Dads will now have the green light from mom. Moms will become AFOLs.

This set is groundbreaking for TLG. $350 feels just about right. From the first look it's absolutely gorgeous.

Now we know what the A team was working on while the B team was designing Assault on Hoth. I wonder which team is working on the new Death Star?

Anyways, I think this could be a hot QFLL item this Christmas, similar to Tumbler a few years back. We'll have to keep an eye on that around here.

Sorry I just have to...

Exciter is asleep, so it's cool.

 

Ha! 

I agree it will bring in a ton of new Lego buyers. I am curious what price it could reach in a xmas shortage scenario.

I wonder which team is working on the new Death Star?

Let's hope it wasn't the c team or worse still the summer interns!

Or more appropriately....

A beast. TLG clearly moving to much larger (and pricier) sets this year. Needs to be seen how it will affect the secondary market.

Cue 10179 remake.

Awesome! 

I will buy one to build with the kids. But for investment... I think we might have a live castle on our hands here. May never retire. 

If the theory is that it won't retire will we see modifications/upgrades?
