Official photos are out. I like that if you get the whole series, you get all 3 blind mice, saves on having to Bricklink 2 more. Shocked Pinocchio has regular legs but I guess not too surprising given they gave Gingy regular legs as well.

Big Bad Wolf and Pinocchio are the other 2 we haven't seen. Lego has yet to make a wolf figure I don't like so I'm hoping that streak continues here and Pinocchio will probably reuse the Disney head mold.

43324: Buildable Lady and the Tramp. $79.99. Guessing it will come with a small "table" and spaghetti to make the famous date moment so could be pretty cute if executed well.

Best: 1. Harry Potter (2018) The fact we finally got Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw robes is enough to put this at number one for me. So many asks and locations we had hoped for in the 2010 revival that went unanswered were answered between 2 CMF series and plethora of playsets that have come out. I think it also managed to toe the line between playsets and display pieces really well (although the classroom books/ house banner phase was weird) 2. Lord of the Rings. I might have put it higher except that many characters had already been represented before and are still missing some big players in this new line. Also wish there were some cheaper offerings. Love the detailed display pieces but I think there is room for more affordable sets, especially as army builders. 3. Pirates of the Caribbean. As someone who was so close to just MOC'ing my own Black Pearl, I was so happy to see this series come back. I think its a gorgeous build with nice characters (outside of Cotton missing his vest). I only hope it isn't a one and done and we get more ships for this line. The fact it is almost always on backorder makes me hope sales are high and not just lack of quantity. Worst: 1. Stranger Things. The first set was amazing and the Creel House feels like a cheaply thrown together set with inaccurate minifigures to boot. A more detailed house with more detailed and accurate characters would have made it a better investment. 2. DC. As a DC fan, I am so tired of the over reliance on Batman. Where is the Watchtower, the Hall of Justice, the Hall of Doom, the Daily Planet? The universe is so large but it feels like we only ever get love and attention to Batman. So disappointing when it arguably had one of the best waves in 2015 and never matched that level again. 3. Indiana Jones. I was rooting for this to make a larger comeback but alas, only 3 sets out of a planned 4. The Raiders diorama set is one of my all time favorite sets with being an interactive display model that I wish they would try and do more. I just feel like its too much of a risk with the current image and marketing strategies of the company but a Club Obi Wan, Flying Wing fight set, or a Venice set would have been appreciated.

I think we are realizing just how much of a bubble we are in given HOW prominent the buildable figures are. There things must be doing huge numbers. I could cross my fingers they come with some minifigures included but not sure there is much of a trend to justify that hope.

Could add Isabelle and Steve from Minecraft to the roster. Plus Pikachu with the molded figure coming in the same pokeball set. Hopefully a Peach and Luigi accompany Mario but otherwise I imagine Pokemon might be more reasonable fighters to hope for.

Haven't seen it pop up on any other sites, but 2027 rumor is a buildable Eeyore and buildable Judy and Nick from Zootopia. If true, seems Lego Disney is really committing to the buildable figure design style for non Princess sets.

Yikes. I feel like including the other side of the street would have justified the price but $400 for just a facade with almost no interior isn't it. Also, how criminal to make that hat mold and not give us Bert. I'm hoping there's a Disney CMF next year that can fix that.

The latest leak named it Disneyland: Main Street USA so it most likely will be the California version. The naming convention also seems like a back door into more Park sets as well, like Disneyland: Haunted Mansion Disneyland: Space Mountain etc. Could be a reasonable work around to flagship sets by just leaning hard into the parks. Would hope this opens the door to more characters though. I also think we won't get any reveal until June. I think Main St. is coming out around June 18th so they may want to wait until June 4th to reveal

More Info on 43002 Main Street set via Brick Tap $400 3899 pieces 10+ minifigures. Includes Mickey, Minnie, Dapper Dans (x4), tourists, employees. I feel like this confirms at least a semblance of minifigure scale but also seems to confirm no Disney chracters outside of Mickey and Minnie. Feel like they would have been reported here before the generic employees and tourists.

Summer sets are revealed. Some thoughts: Lilo and Stitch minifigures are the same as the house set from last year. It's a pass from me. Happy to see the more accurate Lucifer back in a 4+ set. Might make him cheaper on the aftermarket for those of us who missed him first time around The Jasmine and Aladdin jewelry box looks great. Would be a nice display piece with some adjustments, may pick it up and replace with minfigures if it goes on sale. Really like the Little Mermaid Wedding boat. Works as a bigger set for the wave and happy to see the Triton headgear back, if only so I can grab some extras to experiment on getting a more minifigure accurate one. Still slightly bummed I don't have any Eric or human Ariel minifigures to swap into this one. *begins praying for a Disney CMF next year to rectify this*

I desperately want to see the sales numbers on Disney sets to find out why they went this hard on buildable characters this year. We still have a buildable Kakamora in the pipline

Slinky Dog bookends leaked. The build is not quite what I expected and yet exactly what it would be. I feel like the ability to put both ends together to make Slinky whole is just a sneaky way to get yet another buildable into this wave, though the Slinky minifigure looks decent if blurry. It does seem like it might be more Friends styled than anything

Welp. I'll beg my wallet for forgiveness later. These look fantastic

This actually sent me down a rabbit hole and turns out there IS a very specific list of characters that can pop up on Main Street. Had no idea it was a hardline. The following are: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, Chip, Dale, Pluto, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Cruella De Vil, Dapper Dans, Mary Poppins, Bert Former Characters: Alice, White Rabbit, Belle, Captain Hook, Eeyore, Aurora, Snow White, B'rer Fox, Ariel, Queen of Hearts, Mulan Gaston, Geppetto, Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio, Mad Hatter, Penguin Waiter, Mr. Incredible, Mr. Smee, Peter Pan, Wendy, Rabbit, Rapunzel, Tweedle Dum, Tweedle Dee, Stitch Bolding the ones we haven't gotten figures of yet and not sure if Disney would take a characters historical presence into account or not. Given they used the new colors of Cinderella's Castle for the reissue, my bets would be towards the more current.

Let's say its a minifigure scale facade, ala Diagon Alley. That set had 12 minifigures and I doubt Disney would allow any more than that for this, so how would we want to breakdown to fall? I could see 2 - 3 "tourists" with maybe 2 "cast members". Best estimates is it leaves us with 7 Disney figures, of which Mickey and Minnie would take 2 of those spots. What would we want for the other 5? Given how much I love the Mary Poppins and Bert Idea, I would want the following 1. Mary Poppins 2. Bert 3. Merida 4. Mad Hatter 5. Fairy Godmother

Well we did say a park based set would be a candidate for flagship. No large 18+ set for an IP is disappointing.

I don't know about that. The Cottage got released in March 2024 and retired December 2025 and the Beauty and the Beast castle came out April 2025 and is set to retire in December 2026. Seems like those 18+ sets are only set for a 2 year period. Would make sense to make them compete less with a flagship set to rotate out so soon.

I feel like Cinderella's Castle is the only viable flagship set, unfortunately. It's appeared in every Disney logo, is the center piece of two parks, and is instantly recognizable while allowing them to put a bunch of minifigures from different/classic properties without it breaking too much immersion. I'd love to see a bigger BatB castle (the current West Wing is a joke) but I don't know if a flagship set based on one IP is what Lego or Disney would want. I think Sleeping Beauty's castle is the next best compromise, not as famous as the Cinderella version but ionic as the Disneyland center piece with the same ability to throw in characters from other IPs.

Winnie the Pooh and Piglet are already on backorder. Either limited quantity or I have severed underestimated how popular the buildables are.

I wonder how Slinky will look. Do we think a fully new mold or something brick built? Curious to see how they handle the slinky itself.

I'll add it to the list. There's still way too many buildables this year for my liking and I don't think I'll get my hopes up for 43304. My guess is Jessie and Woody reuse figures.

As of December 2025, the Winnie the Pooh Ip has grossed over 76 billion, more than the Mickey & Friends $74 billion. I'm not sure how that all plays out, the data doesn't breakdown the revenues by year so its possible that Winnie the Pooh has been on decline but the fact it sits among the most well known and profitable is something you would think Disney would jump on. The original Ideas set seemed to go on back order a lot when it dropped so not sure if long term didn't show as much promise. I also feel like Wicked is an odd example in that it started as a minidoll line and added minifigure sets in the next wave. Was it always planned or did they see demand for minifigure sets and add the minifigures in response? But if that's the case, seems a pretty big change for a line that would only last one more wave while Disney is ongoing and the demand for minifigures has stayed consistent. Would reallly love to be a fly on the wall for these Disney x Lego meetings to know the details of what gets made and what doesn't. My only other thought is that the big, expensive 18+ sets like Snow White and Beauty and the Beast sell well enough to justify the costs while the smaller sets like Lilo and Sitch house and Cruella's car don't.

The buildable Winnie the Pooh looks better than I thought it would. Managed to really get the roundness of him down. And Piglet isn't quite what I was thinking from the initial brief at all but is a cute set for $40. May pick these up later depending on what else comes out this year. Starting to think Lilo and Stitch's Beach Party may just be a buildable Stitch with a minifigure Lilo given the similar naming to Piglet. Crossing my fingers that unrevealed 18+ is a minifigure set otherwise it doesn't look like there is much in the ways of minifigures for this year. Just noticed the special 100 years on both of the box images for Pooh. Not sure if this is all they have planned for that event or more coming down the pipeline later in the year.

I mean Olaf and Bruni buildable is $50 and Kevin and Dug are $60 so its certainly plausible its a buildable Lotso. I do think we have a bit tooooo many buildable figures in the lineup as is. Either these sell far better than I expected or Disney is just really adverse to minifig sets over posable models.
