Light up the world's most iconic castle, the Disney Castle aka Cinderella's Castle - in miniature form! The perfect gift for the Magic Kingdom fan of any age out there, light and display your Mini Disney Castle today!

The build was surprisingly long, and kept me engaged throughout, and I had fun seeing the Castle come together. 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. Here’s a look at the instruction manual, which has a new (and a little odd) booklet shape which is new to me. For those on a budget or those short on space, this set is just perfect, and I think in many ways, is superior to the big Disney Castle. For context, I own the large Disney Castle but it’s still in the box because I don’t have the space. 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.This set looks awesome on display on your desk, or next to your other LEGO sets with its beautiful colour scheme. A great gift idea for ages 12 and up, this 567-piece building set makes a unique addition to any Disney collection. 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 — 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 —

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. Minifigure

The Disney Castle tile was previously only available in the pricey Disney Train and Station set, so it’s great to see it being available in a much more accessible set! That’s because when you’re building at this scale, there’s not a whole lot of room to manoeuvre around the LEGO part palette. But there is a whole lot of room to get creative, and that’s exactly what the designers behind 40478 Mini Disney Castle have done to realise this symbol of Walt Disney World at a fraction of the size of 71040 The Disney Castle.There are some fiddly bits as you’re building mostly with small elements, but I did enjoy the techniques that made this unique shape possible. The LEGO 40478 Mini Disney Castle is a great collectable for any Disney or LEGO fan and deserves to take pride of place in your room - so what better way to do that than showcasing it in a clear display case from iDisplayit.

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. Here’s a look at the entrance and the doors – you can see golden spikes inside the arch which is a nice touch. While its normal colour scheme has remained fairly consistent since 1971, Cinderella Castle is periodically decorated to celebrate certain occasions. That sometimes involves golden accents, although this concentration of pearl gold appears unusual. Nevertheless, I think the colours are attractive here, beginning across the bridge and continuing under the archway where the raised portcullis is visible. 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. Trans-clear 1x1 tiles form windows across the front. These are correctly positioned and I am particularly pleased with that situated in front of the angled roof slopes. The primary tower looks fantastic too, consisting almost entirely of pearl gold parts. The adjoining bartizan also appears accurate and I am impressed that the designer has captured such realistic detail at this scale.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. Technic gears represent superb machicolations beneath the projecting sections of each tower, while the roofs include an interesting trans-opalescent blue shade. I have not encountered the colour before and the three elements present here are new in trans-opalescent blue. Moreover, the arrangement of separate towers corresponds with the source material. 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. The colours are also excellent, and the blend of blue, opalescent blues, against the greys, and pearl golds are absolutely stunning.
