I think the silver wand is a reference to the fairy godmother in Cinderella

[@codytoeung5089]

I think it’s Tinker Bell’s since she uses that piece and Fairy Godmother doesn’t have a star on it

[@Jaysin412]

It's tinkerbells wand from the intro where she sprinkles pixie dust over the castle

[@neal_e]

If you eat at Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom (which is located inside the castle) they actually give you (or your kids) a wand (or a sword) on your way out.

[@Jaysin412]

@@neal_e still think it's tinkerbells wand seeing as they have so many Cinderella and other Disney character references. I gotta rewatch the video. But didn't he pull the wand from the top? I'd think of that as where tinkerbell dusts the castle tbh. But idk. It's still cool as fuck

[@willkelly7370]

I thought since it was paired with a camera it might’ve been the wand they draw the logo with on Disney channel?

[@LexVanguard2004]

I love how much more colourful and spacious this one is, making a lot of use of the interior space. Minifig selection is really nice as well, like to see the Tangled and Princess and the Frog rep. I think it's seriously missing Belle and Beast though.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Yeah, we really need Belle as a minifigure

[@denizuygunucarlar]

Omg tiagoooooo lets gooooo

[@WhiffTheRubbishEngine1869]

It would probably be a big fig situation which would be very limited. The dance feature wouldn’t work with wide spread legs and low ceilings. It’s a good idea though. Lego need to make some kind of suggestion website where people can suggest sets we want to see and we’ll be able to get figs and builds we want.

[@siepie830]

@@WhiffTheRubbishEngine1869 well, Lego ideas exists

[@WhiffTheRubbishEngine1869]

@@siepie830 But that requires 10,000 people to like it. It also requires talent and skill which not everyone has. I’d say maybe if like 5000 people suggest the same thing then Lego will review it to see if it’s good. If not, they can put it on a list of things they have vetoed so people don’t do it again.

[@adwind.homealone.fandesigner]

To my taste this one looks better than the old one, I especially appreciate more detailed towers. But to be honest, when I first heard it's coming - I kinda wanted to see a fully enclosed castle (although it would probably cost an arm and a leg in that case). Great review as always!

[@copyer9088]

It isn’t just opinion that’s fact the new one is better designed then original

[@erikdaniels0n]

The 2016 castle is one of my favorite sets, and yet this is somehow even better! This is absolutely exquisite. I love all the details and how big and spacious it is, and the minifigures are incredible

[@HotDogBunss]

I recently got back into Lego starting with the NES and it’s been a rabbit hole of large display sets since. But like the UCS Falcon, it’s just too big without a dedicated space for it. Writing your reviews before filming and having experience as a designer really set you apart and the length of your videos are perfect. Looking forward to this year’s top sets list!

[@manel_banaynay]

I think the wand is referencing the beginning from the episodes of the disneyland opening TV show, when Tinkerbell passes her wandover the sign saying Disneyland. It could also be from the disney 100 announcement, but that's inspired by the intro from the TV show. I like this version of the castle better (but I think the set could include Mickey), great review as always, Tiago!☺ The minifigures from the CMF series really complete this set!

[@matthewellerman4935]

I’ve noticed how a lot of people think the wand has different meaning and I like that. My first thought since it was with the cinema camera was that it’s the wand from the Disney channel that actors would wave around to make the Disney logo. But maybe the wand symbols more than just one meaning

[@CringerKitty]

Nice review, but I would have liked to see a side by side comparison with the original castle.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Don’t have the old one! Sorry!

[@CringerKitty]

@@TiagoCatarino Fair enough! 🙂

@@TiagoCatarino Want to borrow one (assembled and displayed)? I got one from the time I met you in Billund :)

[@tvandbeermakehomergo]

Same, only got mine a few months ago on ebay, and part of me wants to get the new one as well.

[@TiagoCatarino]

No need, but thanks! :) Hope you're doing great!

[@RMJ1984]

I love their new design philosophy of making the building open in the back, not only do you save pieces and thus make the set cheaper, but it makes it easy to access. So many great older sets are completely pointless, because you cannot get inside the building unless you take it apart. And while it sucks for city builders, most people don't have lego cities. They just want it to be able to stand on a shelf.

[@moosinium]

I don't think it's a new philosophy at all. Most LEGO sets with buildings have been open back for at least 20 years

[@whatalansaid]

I think the best way to handle this is like Lion’s Knight Castle, where the set can fold out for play or fold up for display from all angles.

[@RMJ1984]

@@whatalansaid Oh that could definitely work as well. Obviously if this set had a backside, i imagine the part count would be some 2000 bricks more and thus a lot more expensive.

[@Libertaro-i2u]

Not to mention, having the open back design makes sets like this easier to play with.

[@Russblue11]

I wasn't thinking about getting it at all before this review but it just looks so gorgeous color and detailed wise!

[@TiagoCatarino]

If you have the space and money, why not! But space really is the issue I would say

[@MONINOW]

I love the color choices that they did with this one vs the old one. Great review as always!

[@TiagoCatarino]

I totally agree! Thank you!

[@NinjaHelpdesk]

7:31 Totally agree Tiago, I’m becoming a bigger fan of small, highly detailed, diorama sets too. I hope these become the mainstay of adult Lego sets in the future.

[@s32sam]

Not really a disney fan but love the color update compared to the last set. Just wanted to say you're my favorite lego reviewer--always so detailed in analysis and impartial with your review

[@SeaYou17]

Calling the Little Mermaid reference a fork hairbrush is nothing but a shame !! It's a DINGLEHOPPER !!! 😊

[@goddhoward]

The wand is a reference to the Disney 100 celebrations, using that same silver colour. Amazing review, tempted me into buying this set now.

[@003Astrid]

The Disney castle crest really looks like the Danish coat of arms too with the three lions which I find particularly neat too :)

[@TheTextureMan]

I think the wand is a reference to the intro of Tinkerbell. But, I also took my daughter to Disney Magic Kingdom recently, and during the fireworks show at the end of the night Tinkerbell flies over the crowd with her wand. So it could be a reference to that also since there’s a firework element included in the build.

[@Slamburgurr]

Wow, reviews out this soon? I mean i ain’t complaining, always love me some new Tiago videos

[@hd4k553]

My only problem with this set is that if you look at it from behind it will just be like open,same thing if you look at it from the top its just like your building half of the set,i would prefer if it was like the Lion knight’s castle set,all build yet can be opened and closed by a couple of hinges.

[@maisondelabriques6598]

This is such a beautiful and well done set! An amazing upgrade from the original set!

[@louisbogli1804]

The flying tree leaves could also be a reference to Frozen 2 where there was a ton of them !

[@kingrallo9938]

The wand is from the Disney 100 announcement 😊

[@jchootie]

I also agree, the smaller "adult" sets are much more appealing to me now too 🙌 The dioramas like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones are a bit too big to display, but the Star Wars ones are fantastic IMHO. . Great video though, great set too.

[@AdamJasper18]

Even if it's a bit dated by todays standards I still prefer the old one as it's a lot more versatile as it can easily fit into any Medieval setting.

[@geerhoar]

I cannot jive with the new colors for some reason.

[@AdamJasper18]

@@geerhoar All the colours are quite bright and similar so there's not really much contrast

[@brickgarden]

The castle at Disney World was re-painted a few years ago, and this set reflects the new paint job!

[@sacredgamer420]

If you didn't know what that wand was refrencing then go watch Peter Pan, it's the wand of the fairy in the movie. Don't remember her name in english though, only in Norwegian.

[@Libertaro-i2u]

Arguably the best part of the Lego Disney Castle set is how many levels the inside has! At around 80cm/32in tall, there's a lot of height to work with in minifig scale, 8 levels of fun!

[@JessesGrandDaysOut]

I love this new set uses the 50th-anniversary colours from the castle (it looks so much better than the last one for this IMO). But the price and size would put me off - for me I like models that I can display, I tend to build and display them so as much as I love the references inside for me I would only really see them as I'm building. So I think I'll be sticking to my smaller but perfectly formed 50th-anniversary castle - it's nicely closed up and has a few nods to appreciate as you build and looks lush on my red shelf 🥰 Great review as always!

[@NotFromConcentrate]

The wand in that context with the hand drawn Mickey and the old projector feels to reference "Disney Magic"

[@elinhammar6576]

The wand represents the want that Micky was holding in many of the starting scenes in old movies

[@randomnickify]

Projector, Mickey and Wand are references to Fantasia :)

[@alexstancil]

Me watching this video knowing that I’ll never be able to afford this set (I still didn’t check the price)

[@spotlightstuds556]

I always love your reviews, short but cover everything

[@TiagoCatarino]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@SamwiseLovesJesus]

The Princess Minifigures are a Slam-dunk-Hole-in-one-goalie-shot-home-run in quality, That look amazing and gorgeous. I'm buying the set mainly for them, the build is amazing, too!

[@davidnobre5660]

what a level up from the last version!

[@michaelvojkovic671]

Color’s ,design ,Minifigures and size is absolute masterpiece.Can’t wait to get it

[@dabobman37]

For the wand that you were confused about, I think it’s supposed to just be the wand that is in the Disney 100 tease image.

[@cookieguygaming]

I'm really happy that this exists because it adds extremely sought after minfigs and provides some fun easter eggs. However I have one big issue which I can't get out of my mind. Why remake something that's already been made? I know this set adds to the already beautiful disney castle prior to this, but the differences are so minor to the point where I can't distinguish why this was made. It also makes getting these really cool minifigures really hard to get. But that's just my take on it.

[@Amberlisi]

I'm glad, as I had to sell my own set of the older version due to some financial struggles. Now I can possibly get this set before it's out of production

[@MrAssChapman]

lol, its Disney. All they do is remake stuff that's already been made. All of the golden age of Disney is just remakes of public domain stories.

[@lopoa126]

They want something new on the shelf. Some folks buy EVERY set. Look at how many Luke landspeeders there are. Plus the boom with LEGO during COVID means plenty of new spenders.

[@yuotueb]

I read that the castle has recently been repainted - so they didn't really have a choice if they wanted to reissue this set for the anniversary

[@crtvamigo]

6:14 hahah that subscribe brick. Classic.

[@TiagoCatarino]

What do you mean? 👀👀

[@emmacaruan7941]

Lego has made a few Disney castles the one in 2016 then the smaller one in 2021 with the mickey mouse minifigure which I have got and it was great to build, and now the one in 2023. In my opinion out of the two that have been made the one in 2016 and the recent one, the 2023 one looks better and has got more minifigures

[@teisenschifelbine4403]

The wand is a reference to 100 years of Disney sense 100 years is recognized with silver

[@SpykersB]

I think your right 👍🏼🍻

[@computeyjoe1]

6:59 Pinocchio, the blue fairy, tinker bell, the fairy godmother or the wand from fantasia

[@epicshadowdemon1211]

Wish there could have been a reference to Disneys The Black Cauldron

[@manel_banaynay]

I agree it's a really underrated Disney movie!

[@JeremyVerburg]

I love your lego reviews! You have a great eye for details.

[@evilsporkbianca]

I like the look of it. I like the colors and some of the changes they made. But it probably be something i pass on its just soo big and if its anything like the old castle its so hard to move around and if i bump it something falls off it. Plus it probably be around a long time so its not a rush and go get item i feel.

[@Electric_Bricks]

Really great review The nought color for me looks a bit off but I do prefer this newer castle

[@John-Salad]

Magic wand could be a reference to "Wand ID" from Disney Channel? The star of various show will take this "magic wand" and draw mickey logo between each program.

[@sammccloud3395]

Either the fairy godmother or Tinkerbell...

[@joshuaharris2214]

The silver wand is a reference to the Disney Channel when people would say "your watching the Disney Channel", and the draw the Disney logo

[@lachlanpatterson2859]

Oooh I thought that the Green fire behind the mirror could be the spirits from the Princess and the Frog!

[@fathervader]

"Flynn's smolder-face!" :D (That being said, I think the wand belongs to Cinderella's Fairy Godmother.)

[@ehhhsteve8582]

Finally have my pennies saved and I’m torn between this, the lighthouse, the Daily Bugle, and Lion Castle. Every time I think I know what I want to drop $400 on, LEGO seems to up their game.

[@bobbyc912]

I’d go for the iconic Disney Castle personally especially for the 100 year celebration.

[@rustyshackleford7288]

The wand is tinker bell !! 😂❤

[@BinhLe-mj1hk]

The wand is Tinkerbells. It was used to promote the Lego Disney 100 releases in the catalogue in 2023 Jan to June edition

[@KrisserStoffer]

The "you're watching the Disney Channel" wand haha

[@carolynv8979]

I believe the wands inclusion with the projector implies the phrase “movie magic”

[@creativesav1325]

I din't pick the old one, had my chances but skipped it, am glad I did. I like this one better, will definately pick this one up !! Love your Reviews !!

[@Legolover15]

I'm a little late watching this review but the colorful leaves just outside the back I took it as a reference to Frozen 2's "Samantha". But the Pocahontas minifigure looks good there as well! Glad I got the whole series so I can display them when I get the set eventually!

[@kekchanbiggestfan]

6:40 It’s a camera. Animated movies were shot on film before computer animation

[@javiersp15]

The original castle set is my all time favorite lego. Can't wait to get this one!

[@e443productions9]

I don’t even want the castle but I NEED Rapunzel and Eugene! 😭

[@PaulieReynolds]

The wand could be a reference to the video bumpers on the Disney Channel in the 90’s/2000’s.

[@nkuete]

The wand might be a reference to the opening sequence for a lot of Disney films where Tinkerbell flies over the castle and taps the spire with a wand

[@iainstruthers3559]

It’s always a delight when your videos come up. Amazing job, they are a joy, thank you Tiago!

[@BrickHQ]

The wand is featured a lot in Lego Disney 100 promotions This set is awesome

[@KaiHarizor]

I really didn’t want to buy this because I have the old one…but this review has convinced me

[@Rocketboy1313]

I believe the grey magic wand is the magic wand used to start the "Wonderful World of Disney" TV show when it was on black and white TV. That is just a guess. I might have dreamed that.

[@SfinxVid]

I knew we would get a new Lego Magic Kingdom castle when they painted the castle in 2020, it was just a to good opportunity to not make a new version after the paint job. Now I want this one too lol

[@69kpurewaffle]

Yeah. This looks like a good set! Although I did purchase the OG Disney castle (at Disney World in Florida) - I REALLY want this set!

[@davididealistmark2]

I love how you say Rapunzel!! XD

[@elangabriel1812]

I find the previous version to be better looking, but this one to have a bit better building technic. Overall, going by this review, it feels more of a re-colour and less of a completely new set.

[@troatie]

My first thought on the wand is it's the Blue Faery's from Pinnocchio

[@dianeurbina711]

I believe the wand is reference for both Fairy godmother in Cinderella & the fairies/aunts in Sleeping Beauty.

[@SPYROSTSABOURIS]

0:50 For a second, I thought it said 43222 pieces

[@russwestwoodAgain]

I feel the wand remembers the 1940 Disney Fantasia production, depicting Mickey Mouse as a wizard, holding a wand with a star on the end

[@EspenSGX]

Considering this is the second version of Walt Disney World/Tokyo Disneyland's Cinderella Castle, I wonder why they don't do a series, as next to this castle we have... - Sleeping Beauty's Castle from Disneyland - Sleeping Beauty's Castle from Disneyland Paris - The Castle of Magical Dreams from Hong Kong Disneyland, which could be a combo with the Disneyland castle, as it originally was a copy and they just recently build its expansion. - Enchanted Storybook Castle from Shanghai Disneyland, which is absolutely massive. If they wanted they could also do other park icons... - Spaceship Earth from Walt Disney World's Epcot - The Tree of Life from WDW's Animal Kingdom - Mount Prometheus from Tokyo DisneySea - The Tower of Terror, which at this point could come in three versions: > The Hollywood Tower Hotel from WDW's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland Paris's Walt Disney Studios (as Disney once made a TV movie about it, I don't think they need to pay CBS/Paramount/Viacom a license fee as long as they don't mention The Twilight Zone) > Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout from Disneyland's California Adventure > The Hightower Hotel from Tokyo DisneySea Especially if they made small scale sets of them, like they did with Cinderella's Castle, Haunted Mansion and the Agrabah Palace from Aladdin, I would definitely get them.

[@nurseboi2279]

The video is in depth, however, it did miss showing the back of the mini figures

[@minifigure-kragle]

So happy that they didn’t get Flynn’s nose wrong 😂

[@Daniel_B_23]

I think the Disney camera 🎥 is for the new Disney set with Walt Disney and the camera.

[@JosiahFickinger]

I'm still waiting to buy myself the Lego Rivendell LOTR set

This set is so cool! Great review!😊

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thank you 🤗

[@DZstudios.]

I have the original and I think I will buy this one too😂

[@sallywyatt2918]

It definitely has some better design elements but not a fan of the colors. Gives it kind of a gaudy look. Especially the peachy color and the bright blue roofs. Think I prefer the 2016 one.

[@yuotueb]

that's because they recently repainted the real-life one in an equally cartoonish - some might say gaudy - way

[@Didyus]

I have the 45€ one at home and I must say, even that is already beatiful and this is on a whole other level!

[@Lordodragonss]

Its beautiful, but I only want Flynn and Rapunzel figs!

[@TheMrtummnus]

Could the wand be a reference to the Disney Channel idents - “You’re watching the Disney channel!” While they wave the mouse logo with a wand

[@BlackAndBloom1]

The silver wand represents the MAGIC of Disney

[@marcdonnellan8730]

I have the original so can't really justify getting this one, I was hoping to see a side by side comparison to get an idea of size difference. I'm more excited for the hocus Pocus set I think, as it will look nice next to my blacksmith set.

[@castillu7]

How many bags does Lego Disney Castle have?

[@ddot196]

Damn this set looks amazing and I'm not even a huge disney fan. Trying to think where I would even be able to put this thing though lol.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Yeah, it’s big. A common “issue” with big sets lately. They’re just too big. People might even have the money, but not the space to display

[@seaborgium919]

I'm in that exact position. I just do not have space, even though I'd absolutely buy this for myself for christmas.

[@RagenRibbonz]

@@TiagoCatarinois it weird that I dismantle my sets after admiring/playing with them a few weeks? I add the pieces back into the collection, and figure I can always build it again if I want! I just don’t have room in my apartment for a bunch of display pieces.

[@heckensteiner4713]

The stained glass windows are amazing.

[@Gingerlion777]

Not even that expensive either considering the prices of star wars sets i usually buy 😅😅 but i agree with you! Im more of a smaller set fan these days! I like what they did with the hogwarts castle for example

[@caden.martinezz]

I believe the hidden wand symbolizes the magic of the Disney and disneys success from the first drawing of Mickey.

[@undead.rising]

Sorry, but are those walls skin-coloured? That's really disturbing me. The sand-blue walls also are a colour that just doesn't look good to me - I don't care if it is accurate, I just don't personally like this colour scheme. I'm glad I have (albeit not built yet) the last one.

[@KiraleeTV]

The wand was used on promotional material to introduce the Disney100 Lego Sets

[@bjoern-eb9ei]

Fork in candle reminds me of beauty and the beast

[@Xerrife]

Penso que gosto mais deste castelo do que o anterior, principalmente por causa das cores e o detalhe dos fogos de artifício foram uma ótima ideia! Você fará review do set de Peter Pan no Big Ben? Adorei as cores da Londres à noite.
