Disney Properties 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[Aramar]

Today I finally finished building the Snow White cottage that I bought a couple months ago. I'm very happy with this set and I've enjoyed the building process. Personally I would have preferred a simplified roof so that the set was cheaper. The roof alone has hundreds of pieces. That being said, I hope Lego continues making this kind of iconic sets with a lot of minifigures. Winnie Pooh's house, UP house, Snow's Cottage and the upcoming Lilo and Stitch's Beach House are my favourite Lego sets.

Come on Lego, give us more Disney houses! (The Madrigal House, for example, or Rapunzel's tower, or Arendelle's castle, or Aurora's cottage, or Merlin's tower, or Notre Dame, or Prince Eric's castle, or Tarzan's tree house, or the Emperor of China's Palace from Mulan...)

There have been several versions of the Madrigal House, multiples of Rapunzel's Tower as well as Arendelle Castle.  Granted they are mostly playsets but they do exist already.

It seems as though the turnover of many of the minidoll sets is much quicker than regular minifig sets? At any rate, those minidoll sets were targeted towards a different market.

Exactly! Re-make them, geared towards adult nostalgia! Snow White cottage did go on backorder a few days after release, and I believe it's gone on backorder at least once after that.

Buy the minifigures from Bricklink and replace the minidolls with them.

There's already Notre Dame. We just need the minifigures of Quasimodo, Esmeralda and the gargoyles (maybe in the next CMF)

Also, Tarzan is off the table, unless Disney regains th

Rapunzel and Flynn are too expensive as stand alone minifigures. I can buy a whole set for that money. Encanto only has Bruno in minifigure form. Kristoff and Hans from Frozen have never been made in minifigures. So even if the locations exist in minidoll sets, most of the matching characters aren't available in minifigure form or are extremely expensive.

I want Belle and Maurice’s cottage or the Beast’s castle!!!

[karrit]

I agree with everyone that we need more Disney Minifig sets.  I totally missed the minifig reference in the original post about the Snow White Cottage.  I would like a few more detailed Disney sets with Minifigures rather than Minidolls like almost everyone else.  I guess that's what has kept me from actually buying any of the Rapunzel sets or some of the other sets I might have considered getting.  And I don't want any of the smaller micro mini dolls or whatever they call them like what they used in the Advent Calendar.

I did buy & build the Snow White Cottage.  It was such a lovely set and enjoyable build.  I even built a mine for the Dwarfs.

Just picked up the 3 CMF I wanted from Series 27, boogeyman being one of them, and am I way off or could we see that head mold used for the beast? I know we’ve had the yeti/bigfoot but they didnt allow for horns. The boogeyman headpiece has the horns and allows for anything to be printed on the front due to it being flat and not structured like the previous yeti head.

By no means do I want this to be the case but as I was putting it together I couldn’t help but think of it being used for the beast in minifig form

Interesting idea, but I think the chances for that are nearly zero. Not only to The Beast's horns not stick out that far or at that angle, but his head is not that big, nor would printing on the lower half of that mold for clothing look good. Honestly, the Friends mold is honestly pretty good for a minifigure (outside of the "cute" eyes).

 You’re likely right (and hopefully are), wasn’t necessarily thinking they’d print clothing on the head piece, I was just trying to point out that with it being flat, it allows for any style “face” to be printed, whereas the previous yeti mold had more structure to the front which limits the printing 

 

the friends mold is good but wasn’t familiar with their history of repurposing special pieces/molds like that across both minidolls and minifigs

So, we'd just want LEGO to make those minifigures.

I really think it was a missed opportunity on Lego's part when they did not do an actual Sleeping Beauty castle. But maybe some day...

I think that particular modified head would have too little contours or features. Not sure how Beast's features would look with it mostly just printed.

I see that they used it for both a minidoll and a micro doll. I'm tempted to MOC a Beast minifigure.

Same, I would have loved a Sleeping Beauty castle set. Especially if they used the Disneyland Paris design because there are some excellent MOCs for that. I don't think the new castle has really been selling all that well since it's basically just a reskinned version of the original castle set. By this time, most everyone who wanted that castle would already have bought the original during its long shelf life.

I would definitely like more Disney minifigs, not just for new characters but also new minifigs of previously existing characters who weren't done well the first time around. Namely Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, and Sorcerer's Mickey since their minifigs were more based on how they look in the Disney Parks or merchandise rather than how they look in the movies. But I'd also like to see more animal molds. There are a lot of classic Disney animal characters who deserve the Lego treatment like Figaro, Thumper, Flower, Timothy Mouse, Jaq, Gus, Lady, Tramp, Pongo, Perdita, Abu, Iago, Timon, Pumbaa, Zazu, Meeko, Flit, Percy, Djali, Scuttle, etc.

Completely agree. I wonder if lego is bound to stay within certain ratios of pieces to minifigs, because the house couldve been half as big as it is and would've been far more successful if it still included the same figs.

 

Honestly looking back it was not a great build experience for how big the set was. The last handful of bags were all the ridiculously complicated roof, and I just wanted to be done.

I think the first edition with the anniversary box already sold out? Then they replaced it with the regular box. How long do we expect this to be on the shelves?

Lego probably thinks that just because the castle did not sell well, then there is no market out there. LOL

And yes, we need more of those supporting characters!

Allegedly, there is gonna be a $300 D2C set in April (43263). Some leakers think it could be Beast’s castle  (source: a.clay.brick)

I really want a Beatuy and the Beast minifigure set, but 300$ might be beyond my budget, especially when we already have minifigures for Belle and Gaston. For that price, the set would need to have the full cast as minifigures so that I could consider buying it: Belle, Beast, prince human, Gaston, Lefou, Maurice and good models for all the animated objetcs.

[hikouki]

Exciting news that we are possibly getting another Disney D2C! I will hold the rest of my excitement until after we have more information. LOL!

in the past, somebody supposedly leaked that we are getting “at least eight“ mini figures in the new Disney castle. And when it finally came out, there were only exactly eight. LOL.

[JohnTPT17]

Eh... All I really would have needed from Beauty and the Beast was a smaller ballroom scene - I don't need the entire castle. Still, I may get it, but I also don't like the idea of pumping out all of these big castles that have desirable minifigs locked behind them. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

We already have Belle and Gaston, but having the entire castle with Beast and the enchanted staff would be great!  …unless it‘s a minidoll set. But at that price point, I fully expect minifigs. 

[JeanGreyForever]

I don't know if I believe that Lego would make another Disney Castle set, especially one so close in price to the one currently on shelves already. With the original Disney Castle, they did make a Frozen Ice Castle, but that had a completely different look and was also a minidoll set so it catered towards a different demographic. The current Disney Castle set also has a lot of BATB references and easter eggs so to get another castle set based entirely on BATB, likely bringing back some of those easter eggs (library, dining room, rose), would seem like too much of an overlap. Most consumers are unlikely to purchase both if they already have one.

If this set is real though, I hope it features minifigs of the enchanted objects in human form. Also that the castle looks like it does in the movie with gray walls and red turrets rather than how it's depicted in the Disney Parks with purple walls and pink turrets. They should aim this set towards Disney collectors and general fans rather than the young girl demographic that likes everything pink and glittery.

I think the first edition was more discontinued because the Disney 100 branding was already out-of-date. Not to mention, Disney's 100th anniversary was such a mega-flop and failure on all levels that the branding was probably more likely to hurt it than help it.

We'll see if this current castle lasts on shelves as long as the original did. I think the original lasted 6-7 years. The closet parallel would be the Death Star set which was on shelves longer than an ordinary set because of how well it sold. Then as soon as it was discontinued, a second version was made which upgraded the set but was mostly the same. I don't remember how long the shelf life for the second version of the Death Star was.

[OttoRiver]

Personally wouldn't mind a $300 Pridelands set with Pride Rock, Elephant Graveyard, small Oasis side build and all the Lion King figures. In case they wanted to do something other than a castle.

....

And this is another thing! I also think it isn't just Lego deciding on what to make but Disney itself!

What large structure or scene could they make other than a castle? A non-castle basically eliminates a lot of locations/ fairy tales. They already had the flop of the remade mermaid. There's already a Snow White cottage. Perhaps Pride Rock? Encanto?
