The Disney theme continues into 2023 (of course) with a handful of sets releasing on January 1st. These initial offerings include four new sets ranging from $13.99 to $84.99 CAD. There are 3 system/junior sets and 1 set in the 4+ line. As always, there’s plenty of colour, lots of cute details and mini-dolls to represent the various characters. All four sets will feature one or more Disney Princesses: Rapunzel, Aurora, Cinderella, Moana and Jasmine. The smallest set is a music box build featuring Rapunzel. The biggest of the bunch sees 3 Princesses getting around on a few different magical modes of transportation. It’s the usual sweet and kid-friendly assortment you expect from the line. Let’s a take a peek at what’s coming.

The Disney 2023 line-up continues the usual assortment of sets for this theme. Quite a few sets are still available, and a few are retiring – notably the Disney Castle (71040). That is to say that there’s lot of vacancies on the way for more Disney product. And that’s not counting sets from their IPs like Avatar, Star Wars and Marvel. I would love to see more system sets from famous theme park location like EPCOT or Animal Kingdom – even in smaller scale like 2021’s Mini Disney Castle (40478). What Disney set are you interested in? Do you grab these junior sets for your kids or even yourself? Leave us some comments and let us know. Thanks once again for reading and until next time, keep on brickin’. 🧱
