Absolutely Beautiful!
" My partner bought me this as a Christmas present and being the savvy shopper that I am, we bought it during a double VIP points event :) it was wrapped nice and tight for months but the day came for me to open it - finally!
This build is one of the most impressive, beautiful things I’ve ever seen and I cannot wait for my house guests to marvel at it!
The instructions are incredibly easy to follow (I would almost go to say that the 1/2” thick manual could be trimmed down somewhat as some instruction stages only added one brick at a time) and all the while I was building, I found certain aspects to be over-complicated - “why is this red brick being completely hidden under a pile of grey bricks?” etc

The set comes with 14 stages (sometimes 4 bags of Lego per stage) and the amount of pieces is staggering- almost intimidating! But I worked on each stage or two in a sitting and it was brilliant to see it growing! By the time you’ve done the lower level (grey) it soon gets finished!
The back of the castle is open, for interactive play, and features rooms dedicated to different Disney characters - for example a Mirror On The Wall and red apple (Snow White) a rose in a bell jar (Beauty & The Beast) a kitchen including a cooker, pots and pans, a beautifully made bed.. I could go on but as this is a must-own set, you’ll see for yourself, right?
The detail is incredible and I can’t get my head round how this set has been designed!

My only problem with this set was incorrect AND missing pieces...! I’m currently waiting for those pieces in the post, which doesn’t bother me too much, but for £300 you kind of expect perfection!
Still worth it for the design, detail, wow-factor and my favourite - exclusive minifigures!!!

I am SO glad I own this set, I just hope I can sort out an appropriate display case and maybe even a lighting set for it!
