One of the most talked about LEGO sets this year is definitely the #71040 LEGO Disney Castle. With over four thousand pieces, and a height of almost 30 inches, it is one of the largest and tallest LEGO sets ever released. The thing is massive. And beautiful. We have discussed the set previously (see links at the end of this post), but it is hard to describe something so big and detailed just with words. 🙂
If you live near a LEGO store, I do recommend to go and see the LEGO Disney Castle in person, to really comprehend its size and beauty. Ass a next best thing, you can watch the detailed video-review that JANGBRiCKS posted, and I have included below. It is almost half an hour long, so settle in, and enjoy the tour of the magical LEGO Disney Castle!

Hey admin! What do you think of this new set? do you think its worth buying? personally I do, it would be a great set for the Disney fans out there!
Yes, definitely. As far as large sets, I would say this is one of the best. It looks very impressive on display, and having the back open also allows plenty of play. The parts and color selections are also excellent. And the price is right. I don’t think this is just for Disney fans. LEGO Castle fans would also be happy with this beauty.
