Looks like they're taking a page out of the Polly Pocket book, literally.  Reminds me of pop-up books and there are what I would call "microdolls"?  Very interesting.

If this Disney "book" idea catches on these could end up being highly collectible.  All the books, all the microdolls, completionists dream.

Smart.  Now I want an Aladdin "book" (based on the cartoon, not whatever they showed in theaters earlier this year) 

I like the idea. Wish the book was actual Lego and not a plastic shell. 

There's like 40 actual lego pieces in that thing. Kind of lame from that perspective as there's not much room to do something else with it.

It looks like it may be a new Lego element.

Well, these all look like junk

Perfect for Disney maniacs with minimal desk space

Uh oh, overly large LEGO pieces made to replace a bunch of smaller ones, can't remember a time this backfired on them.....?

Looking at you late 90's/early 2000's sets i had as a kid...

Why did I ever become a LEGO man?

I guarantee this will morph into Star Wars sets. That said, my girls are going to love this.

The trend appears to be smaller and cheaper sets for a younger audience between 5-9ish across most themes which is interesting shift away from larger more expensive sets.

I would bet that the demographic most apt to pay full price on toys throughout the year are the shoppers looking for a $15-$20 birthday gift for 5-8 year olds.

My 4-year old daughter loves the little book sets. 

I have a good feeling about this.

Four "books" ranging in piece count from 100-170ish.  Looks like they are hinged together by technic pins.  Kids can mix and match covers.

I wonder if LEGO is aiming at a lower age because the whole "princess" phase is fairly short.  At age 4, the kids are still trying to figure out what they like.  By age 10/11 my daughter was already moving away from princess stuff.

I could see parents getting all four "books" for their children and although I would consider $20 a bit high for what you get, it's a relatively easy buy-in for parents.  Kind of at that "birthday party" price range too.

I like that this adds portability by making the sets self-contained

I couldn't find anything listed on the forum already so here goes: 

 

 

LEGO Disney 43174 Mulan’s Storybook

LEGO Disney 43176 Ariel’s Storybook

LEGO Disney 43177 Belle’s Storybook

 

 

I like the concept of those storybooks. Those microdolls look good. 

 

 

I hope that they have a lot more than this planned for the next year. I'm a sucker for the park attractions.

Hot diggity!

So strange to me how so many sets have scaled back in terms of piece count and overall size.  The old tower was a great set.  This thing looks like it's missing so much.  
However, if it's anything like the old $40 set that sold for $200, I'm in for 100!
