LEGO Disney Mini Castle Set 40478

Product Information

Yeah, that’s probably on you, then. I interact with lots of people here. Some may be like @sjr60, just shaking their fists at the screen and trying to ignore me (as I’m sure many do to him as well). Some thank me for providing information that interests them. Sometimes a debate starts up, runs it’s course, and life carries on without bloodshed. And on rare occasion, I run into someone who feels they have the right to control the way the conversation plays out, and gets torqued out of shape when they discover that’s not true. In fact, I kinda suspect you’ve done this here before, and probably not just with me.

This is also another area where the aesthetics of the set have taken precedence over complete accuracy, with great results: the rose pink tint of the real castle is white here, but it feels more subtle, and provides a closer link (if it needed one) to its older and bigger LEGO sibling.Here’s a look at the entrance and the doors – you can see golden spikes inside the arch which is a nice touch. The mini LEGO Disney Castle is hands down going to be one of the most popular LEGO sets of 2021, striking the right balance between a price and display presence.

There’s no faulting the colour choices, either, which reflect last year’s repainting of the real-life castle for Cinderella’s 70th anniversary, and the decorations applied for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary. It means 40478 Mini Disney Castle’s bright blue and gold doesn’t quite match 71040 The Disney Castle’s comparatively muted dark blue and tan, but it makes for a brighter and more engaging model and build, which is exactly what you’d want when building with so few parts.And that’s absolutely fair – but while all those models are impressive works of LEGO art, there’s something to be said for the unique challenges presented by building small. Give someone fewer and fewer pieces with which to put together a reasonable and identifiable representation of an iconic location – like Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle, for instance – and you’re essentially asking them to paint a masterpiece with only one or two brushes. Still, there’s nothing inherently worse about his torso – it’s just different – and it adds up to a smart inclusion where other microscale models, such as the annual May the Fourth build, tend to omit minifigures entirely. You could say Minnie’s missing, but then where does it end? — Price — Read on to see more of 40478 Mini Disney Castle or you can watch a speed build video of the LEGO Mini Disney Castle on my Youtube channel Highly recommend this set, and this is pretty much a flawless set, and contender for one of the best and most satisfying sets of 2021. An obvious 5/5 score for this miniature magical wonder. Light up the world's most iconic castle, the Disney Castle aka Cinderella's Castle - in miniature form!

Here’s a look at the completed Castle, and it is a beauty – perfectly capturing the iconic silhouette of Cinderella’s Castle.Cinderella's magnificent castle has achieved extraordinary renown since 1971 and this design appears immediately recognisable. The dramatic towers and decorative finials look impressive, reaching 21cm in height. However, I think the beautiful colours are more important in achieving fantastic display value, with pearl gold and differing shades of blue complementing these white and light bluish grey walls. Given how many LEGO sets feel like they’re priced with future discounts in mind, though, that’s actually a positive for 40478 Mini Disney Castle – especially because, as a LEGO.com and LEGO Store exclusive, it will probably never see a discount anyway. — Pictures — From the side, the blue rooftop cones with pearl gold ski poles contrast brilliantly against the white main structure. The perfect gift for the Magic Kingdom fan of any age out there, light and display your Mini Disney Castle today! Measuring over 8 in. (21 cm) high, 5.5 in. (14 cm) wide and 5.5 in. (13 cm) deep, this LEGO® | Disney Mini Disney Castle makes a striking display piece standing on a mantelpiece or shelf in your home or office.

A great gift idea for ages 12 and up, this 567-piece building set makes a unique addition to any Disney collection. For instance, the four corners to the castle’s base are connected using skeleton arms; the entranceway is lined by four golden crowbars, which are fiddly to clip into place, but incredibly effective; and golden binoculars cleverly represent the windows around the castle’s many asymmetrical towers. Mini Disney Castle has another link to the LEGO Group’s wider portfolio of late, too: there are secrets squirrelled away solely for the builder to enjoy, because they won’t be visible (or even accessible) once the model’s complete. Two microfigures and the same printed tile of 71040 The Disney Castle that first debuted in 71044 Disney Train and Station are built into the set’s interior, then hidden by the central spire.Here’s a look at the instruction manual, which has a new (and a little odd) booklet shape which is new to me. Furthermore, the construction methods appear incredibly intricate, enhancing this creation beyond those of comparable size and integrating unusual parts. An exclusive minifigure accompanies the model too, only increasing its appeal.
