Review: 43195 Belle and Rapunzel's Royal Stables

 

It's grooming time for Philippe and Maximus as Belle and Rapunzel get ready to primp and pamper their hardworking steeds.



We don't often get Disney Princesses interacting outside their individual tales, but Belle and Rapunzel come together to share their love for their horses in this Royal Stable set. The stable provides a personalized stall for each horse and separate dressing rooms for each princess.

Review: 10772 Mickey Mouse's Propeller Plane

Nnneeaoowww!  Take to the air with Aviator Mickey Mouse and soar through the sky in classic 1930's style. 



This is the smallest of the new Mickey and Friends sets, and easily my favorite. The shaping of the propeller plane is skillfully captured, and I just want to swoosh it around my house. It's simple and fun. Plus, Aviator Mickey is excellent. 

Review: 10774 Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse's Space Rocket

Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse's Space Rocket has landed on an unexplored planet. Are those green crystals a new mineral? Are those boulders or pods full of alien creatures? 



This 4+ set includes a space rocket, research station, and several small side builds. While it is a small simple build, there is plenty of space for your imagination as Mickey and Minnie take samples of the green crystals and discover a cute little alien. 



The space rocket easily opens up for interior access and is large enough for both moustronuats with room for stowing their equipment and lunch.

Review: 10775 - Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck's Farm

Review: 10773 Minnie Mouse's Ice Cream Shop

What's better in summer than a day at the beach? And what's the perfect treat? Ice cream!

Join Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck for a day of fun in the sun, sand, and waves. Then cool off with your favorite icy treat. 



This is a 4+ set and is accordingly simplified. The builds are basic but there are no stickers and some fun new parts. For a play set it has just enough to give your imagination a start with a minimal ice cream shop, a beach scene, and a fun little car.

Review: 30558 Raya and the Ongi

Join Raya and the Ongi as she protects the Dragon Gem from this mischievous intruder.
Raya and the Ongi is a polybag which makes a fun impulse purchase. 



The bag matches the box art for the other Raya and the Last Dragon sets. The front of the bag shows Raya and one Ongi, plus a small structure with the Dragon Gem. The set is placed in a lush, tropical setting with glowing blue flowers. The LEGO and Disney logos are prominent in the upper left corner, with the Raya and the Last Dragon logo in the lower right corner next to a movie-style illustration of Raya.

43192 Cinderella's Royal Carriage - Review and Comparison

 

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo! Cinderella's got a new ride, and it's got some exciting new parts and figures. 

Disney Princess has been a LEGO theme since 2014. Whenever a theme stays around more than a couple of years, some builds get revisited again and again. There are always new children growing into the theme, and Cinderella's Carriage is one of those builds that LEGO keeps bringing back. So I'll be taking a look at the mini-dolls and carriages that came before throughout this review.
