Inside LEGO's New 18+ Disney Castle: Features, Minifigs & Price

Disney's Latest LEGO Castle Is Here – What Fans Need to Know

LEGO is back at it again with a brand-new 18+ Disney Castle, this time bringing Beauty and the Beast to life in brick form. If you’ve ever dreamed of building your own enchanted castle, this set might be for you. But is it worth the price? Does it truly capture the magic of the movie? And most importantly—should it be your next LEGO purchase?

Let’s break down everything you need to know about this Disney LEGO masterpiece before it hits the shelves.

A Castle Inspired by Disney Magic

This new Beauty and the Beast LEGO set is a visually stunning build that seems to take inspiration from both the classic animated film and Tokyo Disneyland’s version of the castle. The French-style architecture, complete with tall spires, intricate designs, and warm color tones, makes it a standout display piece.

The tan, lavender, and deep red color scheme adds a storybook charm to the build, though some fans might notice that it’s a bit more colorful than the castle seen in the movie. Whether that’s a good or bad thing depends on personal preference, but one thing’s for sure—this set is designed to stand out.

One of the most striking features is the stained-glass window with the enchanted rose, a small but magical touch that adds to the overall nostalgia factor.

But How Big Is It?

This set is nearly 2 feet tall, so make sure you have plenty of shelf space before you commit!

A Peek Inside – The Interior Details

Unlike many LEGO display sets, this one features an open-back design, meaning it’s not just for show—it’s meant to be interactive and playable. Here’s what you’ll find inside:

1. The Ballroom Scene

At the heart of the castle is the ballroom, complete with a mini chandelier and enough space for Belle and the Beast to dance—one of the most iconic moments from the movie.

This section even slides out on a rail system, so you can display it separately for a better view of the action.

2. The Be Our Guest Dining Hall

Further up, you’ll find the room where Lumière and the enchanted objects perform "Be Our Guest." It’s packed with familiar characters and decorative details, making it a fun Easter egg for fans of the film.

3. Belle's Library

What would Beauty and the Beast be without its famous library? This set includes a dedicated section filled with tiny LEGO books—because, of course, Belle wouldn’t live in a castle without tons of reading material.

4. The Enchanted Rose & Beast's Transformation

At the very top, you’ll find Beast standing next to the enchanted rose, holding his magic mirror. There’s also a scratched portrait of his former self, a cool little detail that ties into the curse-breaking story.

And yes—this set includes both Beast and his human form, so you can recreate the final transformation!

Meet the Minifigures – Who's Included?

A castle wouldn’t be complete without its beloved characters, and LEGO didn’t disappoint in this department. This set comes with a solid lineup of minifigures, including:

• Belle (in her iconic yellow dress)
• Beast (with a swappable human form)
• Gaston
• LeFou
• Maurice (Belle’s dad)
• Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, & the Wardrobe

If you’ve been collecting Disney LEGO minifigs, this set is a great way to add some key characters to your lineup.

Any Missing Characters?

Most of the main cast is included, but some fans might wish for a Philippe the horse minifig, or maybe even the Enchantress who cast the spell.

Display or Play? How This Set Stands Out

If you’re into collectible LEGO Disney sets, you might be wondering how this one compares to previous castles. While the original Disney Castle (71040) is still a fan favorite, this Beauty and the Beast version stands out in a few ways:

✅ More interactive features than other Disney castle sets
✅ Vibrant color palette that makes it pop on display
✅ Well-balanced mix of playability & nostalgia

That said, some fans might not love the open-back design, as it takes away from the fully enclosed "grand castle" look. But if you’re building this with family or younger fans, the interactive elements make it more engaging.

How Much Does It Cost? And Is It Worth It?

💰 Price: $280

🧩 Pieces: 2916

📅 Release Date: Early April 2024

For nearly $300, this set is definitely on the pricier side, but with high-quality details, exclusive minifigures, and nostalgic value, it’s clear that LEGO designed this for serious Disney fans.

But is it worth it? Here’s a quick breakdown:

• If you love Beauty and the Beast, this is a dream LEGO set that captures all the key moments from the movie.
• If you’re a casual Disney fan, the price might feel a bit steep, especially with other Disney castles available.
• If you love LEGO castles in general, this is one of the best-designed ones yet, making it a standout display piece.

Should You Buy It?

The new 18+ Disney Castle is a nostalgia-packed set that brings Beauty and the Beast to life in a way LEGO fans will appreciate.

With detailed minifigures, iconic movie scenes, and hidden Easter eggs, it’s a fantastic addition to any Disney LEGO collection.

BUT… at $280, it’s definitely a big investment. If you’re a Beauty and the Beast superfan, this set is 100% worth considering. Otherwise, you might want to wait for a sale or check out alternative Disney sets.

What do you think? Will you be adding this LEGO castle to your collection?
