The Grand Return of the LEGO® Disney 43222 Castle – Bigger, Bolder, and Built for Fans

The unveiling of the LEGO® Disney 100 line-up just got its crown jewel. The 43222 Disney Castle is not only a loving nod to the 2016 version, but an unapologetically bigger and more elaborate rebuild. 

 

With 4,837 pieces, it now holds the title of the largest LEGO® Disney set ever released. 

The price tag sits at €399.99, which converts to about $399.99 USD, £344.99 GBP, $615.00 AUD, 2,990.00 DKK, 4,630.00 SEK, 1,740.00 PLN, and 2,180.00 BRL.

 

Compared to the original, it adds around 800 extra pieces, more intricate building techniques, and a richer color scheme of deep blues and golds. The exterior now features brick-built fireworks exploding from the towers, celebrating Disney’s centennial in true built for fans style. Inside, the castle is more than just display — it’s a stage for storytelling.

Eight LEGO® minifigures take the spotlight: Cinderella, Prince Charming, Snow White, Prince Florian, Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, Rapunzel, and Flynn Rider. Each has their own corners to explore, from the revolving dance floor in the ballroom to the twistable fireplace hiding Sleeping Beauty’s spinning wheel. The castle also tucks away nods to other Disney films, like a Beauty and the Beast inspired kitchen and Rapunzel’s painting.

Standing at 80 cm tall, it’s hard to miss. The combination of play functions and collector appeal makes it one of those rare builds that feel worth the investment — especially if you grab it during July when a LEGO® Disney 100 gift-with-purchase might sweeten the deal.

This set is available for LEGO VIP members from 1 July 2023, with a public release on 4 July 2023. If you’ve been waiting for the ultimate Disney centerpiece for your collection, this is it. After all, it’s built for fans.

 

 

This price reflects a $50 increase from the 2016 LEGO Disney Castle, but it's justifiable given the additional 800 pieces that enhance the set's value to the £344.99 / $399.99 / €399.99 price point. The 2023 Disney 100 iteration is notably more vibrant than its 2016 predecessor, flaunting a richer palette of gold and blue hues and a more extensive, meticulously detailed interior. LEGO enthusiasts will appreciate the brick-constructed fireworks bursting from the tower tops, marking the grand celebration earmarked for Disney throughout 2023.

 

 

Also, anticipate a LEGO Disney 100 Gift With Purchase offer at some point in July, which is worth considering in your LEGO Disney and overall LEGO buying plans.
