Recently built these two with my daughter.

What baloney, obviously we all know the new Castle should look like this: ETA (dang it, my pic looks decent. I really tried to make it look bad )

Why are we talking about this foolishness? Are people really that bored?

It could be a stunning set if done correctly. It could be the next Taj Mahal if taken seriously and designed for adult tastes.

I can't claim credit for this, but my 6 year old built this while I was at work this morning. Its the attack on the Second death star with an x wing flying into the superstructure with the Millennium Falcon and some star destroyers, tie fighters, a tie bomber, a tie defender, and a random z95 helping out. I was impressed!

http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=122532&st=25#entry2534055 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. http://brickset.com/sets/71040-1/Disney-Cinderella-Castle

Finally doing a big Lego build day with 2 friends tomorrow. I'm building 71016 (Kwik-e-Mart), one friend is building 76052 (60s Batcave), and the other is going all-out and building 75827 (Ghostbusters Firehouse) Should be a long, fun day!

Although a mini or micro version of the Cinderella's Castle would be cool, this would have to be a $400 set to do it justice. Let's face it, Cinderella's Castle is about as iconic as it gets with Disney, so why cheese out? I'm sure many of you that have visited Disney World/Land realize it is a vacation for the wealthy, with a stay in a Disney resort easily exceeding $5000.00 for a week for a small family. If people can afford $5000.00 or more for a Disney vacation, they can afford $500.00 for a set that could be considered the "ultimate souvenir." Price is not the issue with this set. My gut tells me it would be so successful, that if done correctly, it would never retire...

The picture of the VW Beetle isn't even LEGO...

This is what I have been waiting for since the minifigure series was announced. Castle, some rides, stands etc.. full blown disney world in my lego city..hopefully someday. If this castle comes true and it's park style I will be so excited, this would be my families number 1 choice for anything in lego LEGO Disney Cinderella Castle (71040) Rumored to be Released in September http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-disney-cinderella-castle-71040-rumored-to-be-released-in-september/

We built this set over the weekend. I think it's a big winner. Really genius that they selected it. My son has spend the whole weekend off and on building new mazes. It just fits the Lego mindset so brilliantly. Then the little bastard made a covered maze where you can only see the start and finish spots. That is frustrating let me tell you.

I've been buying small things for us to build - like Speed Champions sets or Angry Birds sets - put nothing investment lately.

Well, we all know this ain't happening.

I thought the same about the UCS Assault on Hoth before the first pictures of that set showed up.

I'm not really a seller, I fall under the 'mint in box collector' category. If I happen to buy a kit that ends up being worth £1000s then I'll sell it, otherwise I'm quite happy just collecting.

I agree $299 seems about the highest realistic price point. But that price does enable 2500-3500 pieces in the build. In general, we tend to see the license fee pull the piece counts down relative to retail price, but on the other hand Lego sometimes pushes piece counts up on large sets (e.g. 500 tan cheese in Tower Bridge). I saw this comment over on Brickset, but I tend to agree -- my biggest fear for this set is whether the scale is minifig or architectural. The rumor is that it will come with at least one figure. If that's true, it seems highly likely that the set will include play features like some fold open sections, Cinderella's bedroom, etc. I'm really hoping that they let Jamie Berard design this one, or at least have a heavy influence. If we end up with an oversized version of the current Princess castle sets, it will be a garbage facade building just similar to the real castle. Based on Arkham Asylum and Classic Batcave, a facade set is certainly a possibility. if they approach this from the Modular Buildings design style, we should get a decent rendering of the castle that also has play features that don't distract from displaying the castle on a shelf. Out of everything coming out this year, this one is by far the most exciting to me.

These pictures are crap. The Big Ben would be a 7000 piece set if it actually was similar to the picture. The Disney Cinderella's Castle is a computer generated item and the Death Star is a 10188 that is photo-shopped.

Those pictures are BS.

This would bring in more lego fans than star wars does if it was a Disney Parks castle. Do not under estimate disney world/ disneyland fans. We are annual pass holders to disney world and go multiple times a year. This is our number 1 most anticipated set for sure. (Assuming it is based on the Walt Disney world castle and not the cinderalla movie)

Sellers that act in a professional manner don't have to wait on PayPal to release funds in order to ship an item. I get being broke, trust me I've been there, but the situation described is unacceptable.

Lady's night special continues here at Brickpicker After Dark with a classic from miss Taylor Dayne:

If no hiatus means it will be returning, does hiatus mean it's not...?

Ant Man Final Battle is currently at the height of a tall coat rack but it's headed to the roof.

Just finished building this thing of beauty, and I have to say, what an absolutely fantastic set, so much detail, one of my favourites! I just wish I had bought more a few years back because a set like this will just continue to rise in value!!!

I found a good use for this deal, actually, sweetened it a little bit more: I got $30 back in points on the purchase of 2 of these: http://www.shopyourway.com/akro-mils-10164-clear-64-drawer-small-parts-cabinet/209140744?seller=Sears.com The $20 back on $20 combined with a $10 back on $50 on these drawer cabinets, which were themselves on sale for $25.03 each (so making it $50.06 total, just above the $50 needed to create the $30 back). $25.03 for the Akro-Mils is the same price as Amazon.com has. I think that anyone with a SYW account should be able to get the same deal as these are generic coupons, so posting it here instead of in the "What did you buy today" thread - but if it needs to be moved let me know and I'll call the janitor.

I have never had an issue with the guest checkout option. (Zero feedback, random username) It always makes me nervous, but have never had problems.

I will try again. First attempt was to share my pics from Google photos.

Kids are fine with it? Or friends and relatives? Skimming off the top of little Timmy might need to go to ethics thread

A collection of stories about a world supported by four elephants standing atop a giant turtle filled with all sorts of characters including Death (Not death with a little "d" but Death with a big "D" as in the person.) were written with such wit and humor, there is no doubt as to why these tales amuse and inspire so many. Though the storyline may progress no further and the author sorely missed, Sir Terry Pratchett's fable will never be forgotten.

I haven't bought anything from Toys R Us in.... hang on, what decade is this now?

Sleeping Beauty's castle really isn't a big deal though. Look kids, this is where she slept. Move along, move along.

I haven't bought anything at TRUTH for a month.

Yep you can - and i think the next boost starts in May (have to be sold by Tesco and not a 3rd party on their site).

Tesco Direct, Very and argos all do 3 for 2 deals at certain times of the year. The most recent being Tesco who had Tydiriums priced at £63 each plis 3 for 2 so worked out at £43 each.

Walmart manager success story #2 for me. First three were marked prices. The rest were managerial markdowns. Smallest wave 1 Elves set x2 Anna's Sleigh Friends 2013 Advent x6 My first Lego Fire Station Mirkwood Forest Spiders Dol-Guldar Battle

I know nothing about Discworld, but all of those are really well done. They look great.

Now here's a deal: http://www.sears.com/lego-1000-piece-building-block-set/p-004W008486534002P?prdNo=9&blockNo=9&blockType=G9 - only $19.99! (And for those whose sarcasm detectors are low on batteries: yes, that is Sears listing Best Lock as LEGO)

Snapchat me, you don't have to be lonely, BrickPickersonly.com

I'm absolutely thinking the same thing! The common denominator between all three sets is that they are playset oriented. The main problem with this is Lego using the term "playset" to justify stuffing scattered and uninteresting small builds into one large set. The good news with this is it allows me to catch up on the past couple year's excellent exclusives that I was holding off on.

I put this together myself tonight. SDCC2015-3 Action Comics #1 I Bricklinked the parts. The roof is a change out, since that piece, in green, only exists in the original set. Superman is from the Dimensions Fun Pack. As a huge Superman fan, this was pretty cool to build. Hugely iconic to me.

I think this wave might be heading towed retirement. The recent discounting could be an indicator of Retirement or at least getting harder to find.... Retailers need a way to move inventory to make room for new stuff. Note: I also like the theme for kids. Kinda like I did for Toy Story. Great section of set designs and minifigures.

Flintstones and Jetsons backgrounds show up I LEGO Dimensions, which implies there's some sort of licensing there. I would venture a guess that if there's going to be a Cinematic Universe, there could be additional sets to support more Scooby and the other properties.

I think it's kinda like Santa's Workshop. Awesome set but absolutely worthless for the time being...

I don't open them at all.
