LEGO Disney 100th Anniversary Sets Feature Russell from Up!

A few hours ago, German retailer JB Spielwaren unveiled a couple of new LEGO Disney 100th Anniversary sets that fans have long awaited. We can now take a closer look at the LEGO Disney ‘Up’ House (43217) and LEGO Disney Celebration Train (43212).

Though these images were removed already by JB Spielwaren (perhaps another retailer slip-up for this matter), internet fan sites were already quick to take notice. These two new LEGO Disney sets are expected to hit store shelves in April and feature several new collectible minifigs that are sure to be instant hits among minifigure collectors.

The LEGO Disney ‘Up’ House is expected to be a hit among LEGO fans since we are now getting an official set from this iconic film. Fans have been recreating this set for years, and I’m happy to see that we’re now getting minifigure versions of Russell and Mr. Carl Fredricksen. We also get to see a minifigure-scaled version of the house and the balloons that made the journey possible. I hope that LEGO has thrown in twice the number of balloon pieces to make it more realistic and fun to display.

And this next one is another Instagram-worthy candidate. Though labeled as a 4+ set, this is something that will surely catch the attention of any LEGO Disney fan. Because if you missed out on the hugely expensive LEGO Disney Castle (71040) back in 2016, this is your chance to add Tinkerbell to your minifigure collection. The best part is that the LEGO Disney Celebration Train (43212) also includes Peter Pan and redesigned Mickey and Minnie minifigures. Plus, we also have Moana and Woody added to the mix as well. The train features several key moments from their respective films, rendering them into fun and colorful minifigure vignettes.

These LEGO Disney 100th Anniversary sets are not yet listed at LEGO.com, but since retailers are already posting them, we can expect an official reveal any time soon. For now, let’s take a look at these images.
