EDIT:  The release date is 9-1-2016 for the general public and sometime in August for Lego VIP members.

EDIT#2:  The designer video has been released as well.  This really goes into detail!

EDIT #5 – See prototype Minnie figure in process here.

EDIT #3.  This appears to be the real designer video.  The first one must have just been a promotional video?

EDIT#4:  Lego just posted this up on Shop at Home.  They are getting fast on this now!  See here on the Lego site.   

As some of you know, a few of these images surfaced earlier on Friday, but were quickly taken down at the request of Lego.  Well, now they  are official now and what a beautiful set this is.  It is clearly the best set of the year so far, or at a tie for first with the Porsche that was released earlier this year!  Lego is really stepping up its game and it is more that I ever expected.

Here are the details!

• Lego 71040 Disney
• US $349.00  (That is only 8.5 cents a piece!  WOW!)
• 4080 pieces!
• Did I say that they knocked it out of the park?
• Includes 5 Minifigures:
  • Mickey Mouse with a tuxedo
  • Minnie Mouse with red dress
  • Donald Duck with classic outfit
  • Daisy Duck with pink skirt, lavender colored shoes and a bow
  • Tinker Bell with wig element, skirt, wings and a magic wand
• 
  • No Pluto or Goofy, they must be in Series 2 of the collectible minifigures
• It is awesome and it looks like it will make a nice display case for the Disney Minifigures.

Based on the price of this set, I am certain that a few of these figures will eventually make it to the top 100 Rare and Expensive Lego Minifigures list!  See it here.

However, I do not think that any of them are going to overtake the $ Solid Gold Official Lego c-3po minifigure.  Only 5 of those exist!    See here.

Here are some of the other images of the set as well!  This set just looks incredible!

 

It looks like we have plenty of room to put the Lego Disney Minifigures inside of the Castle!  I am also pretty sure we will get another series of these for sure now that we have not seen Goofy and Pluto yet!

 

See the old Series here.

eBay still has complete sets of these for about $88 bucks.  See here.

Amazon Prime Day is today and The UCS Tie Fighter set is $75 dollars off today.  Selling for $125.  See here.  This means that this is being discontinued.

This was just posted over on Eurobricks as a repost of an image that was put up on this Facebook group here. “Lego) Tu sais que tu es un AFOL quand…”

if you are a member of the group, you can see the post here.

I posted a pic of My Disney Series 1 Minnie next to it for comparison.

If you look at it, it is one of the following…

• A fake
• An upcoming figure from the Disney Castle 71040 or Disney Series 2
• Or a misprint of some sort.  Someone accidentally make a red skirt instead of a pink skirt?

They legs and head and skirt look pretty similar.  The paint quality is not perfect, but that could be because it is an early figure.

The colors look comparable to this image here.

I am not sure, but I thought I would let you decide.

Here is the official Castle Reveal!

EDIT:  This was just relisted.   It looks like this seller is still trying to sell this figure!  I also added the other two Mickey misprints that I found in the last few weeks as well.

I just saw this over on eBay and I thought that you might enjoy it.  I have seen a few of the Peter Pan misprints, but this one actually makes the figure look pretty good!  The white from the eyes was printed in the wrong place thus making it look like Mickey is staring off in a different direction.  The price is a little extreme!  See it here on eBay.

Here is another one.  This one has no eyes.

Finally, here is one that has misprinted legs.

I might need to go an look for one of these!

A reader just messaged me on another Disney Mickey Mouse Misprint Minifigure that was posted to this facebook group here.

This is hot on heals of the lopsided eye minifigure that we saw last week.  See below.  This one is currently listed here on Ebay.

I saw this listing over on eBay a bit ago for a full box of minifigures, so I decided that these must be showing up at Toys R Us or Target.  I drove over to target and said that I would like the blue ones and not the orange ones.

A helpful person went in the back and promptly found the set with the Blue Box!  He then showed it to me and proceeded to tell me that he cannot sell it until May 1st as they were listed as do not sell!  Fail!  It was like he was teasing me!

Source eBay and my local Target!

I included the UPC code in case you want to check at your target and ask for the blue ones.  You may have better luck than I did.

UPC 673419251860

He also checked other stores local to me and said that they all have the figures also.  He said good luck.  🙂  maybe I will check tomorrow!

I just saw this awesome review over on lcc.builders here.  They have picked up a set of the Disney figures and posted pictures of the sides and the backs of them!  Take a look here.  I just have a summary photo below.  She has  these and more pics on her full review.  This is the best one I have found so far.  Source LCC.BUILDERS

I was most excited about this to see Buzz’s arm printing.

Thanks!
