[MichiganScott]

Coming soon to empty your wallet.

Officially it's called "The Disney Castle," but it's based off Cinderella's castle in WDW.

That's awesome!

I need this Lego Castle...

Looking forward to this one. Have you seen the photos of the back side of the castle? Each room appears to pay homage to a Disney animated film.

Yes, that one. Also saw some closer up pictures of the back. The detail in this set looks really good.

Do we have an estimated date on when this is available for purchase?

I believe it will be available September 1, mid August for Lego VIP members (membership is free).

Have never bought a single Lego, probably could never get it assembled if I did. What's the price range on these elaborate sets like this?

Count on $400...

It largely is equivalent to the number of pieces...more or less.

My son is buiding the ewok village (1990 pieces) currently at the retail was $249

3000 pieces will be at least $400...if there is a Disney "markup"...you're looking at $500

 

[gatorlisa]

Price for this set is reported to be $350 (US).

While the set is enormous, and to non-Lego fans it may seem daunting to assemble, Lego provides excellent instructions for their sets.

 

[MichiganScott]

Speculation is around $300 - $350.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

Rumors are conflicting then...

3000 pieces for $350 seems a tad low to me. Definitely not $300

 

[superme80]

I need this!

Well the ghostbusters set is $350 and has 4600 pieces...

Id say it should be pretty close to that.

It is really pretty great, but where would you put it?

In the home theater, on the mantle, or on one of my shorter bookshelves in the family room. I usually display big sets for a while after assembling them. Eventually they get taken apart to enjoy putting together again at a later date.

You're right on that...I didn't think it had that many...

A less popular ip though...so it wouldn't sell if they pushed it higher.

Not sure the same is true about the castle set.

The lego battle of hoth set (oh yes...it will be mine...) is $300 for 2144 pieces.

I would expect more along those lines for Cindy
