LEGO has released a special set to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Disney. The Disney 100th Celebration set (40622) features five iconic characters from Disney’s history, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy. The set contains 501 pieces and retails for £39.99 / 42,99 € / $39.99 US / $49.99 CAD. Let’s take a closer look at what this set has to offer.
Box
The box for the Disney 100th Celebration set features an eye-catching design with a bright blue color and vibrant character illustrations. The box is sturdy and compact, making it easy to store and transport.
Instructions
The instructions for this set are clear and easy to follow, with step-by-step illustrations that are well-organized and easy to read. The instructions also include helpful tips and tricks for building the characters.
Build Techniques
The build techniques used in this set are simple but effective. There are a few clever techniques used to create the unique shapes of the characters, such as the use of slope pieces to create the curves of Snow White’s dress and the use of a pentagonal piece for Tinker Bell’s wings.
Overall Design
The overall design of this set is excellent. The characters are instantly recognizable and have a lot of personality. Each character has its unique details that make them stand out. The use of printed pieces for the characters’ eyes and other details is a nice touch and adds to the overall quality of the set.
Final Product
The final product of this set is fantastic. The characters are highly detailed, and the set as a whole looks great. The characters are poseable, which adds to the playability of the set. The baseplate that comes with the set is also well-designed, with a silver color that complements the characters nicely.
Favorite Parts
My favorite parts of this set are Tinker Bell, Oswald the Rabbit, and Snow White. Tinker Bell’s translucent wings are a great technique, and Oswald’s round face gives him a lot of personality. Snow White’s dress is well-designed, and the printed slope pieces used to round out her shoulders are a nice touch.
Disliked
The only thing I disliked about this set is that the Modified 1 x 4 with 2 Studs with Groove did not come in the same silver as the rest of the baseplate. This is a small issue, but it would have been nice to see the set completely finished in the same color.
Overall, the Disney 100th Celebration set is a fantastic addition to the LEGO Disney BrickHeadz collection. The characters are well-designed, and the set is fun to build and play with. This set is a must-have for Disney and LEGO fans alike, and I would highly recommend it.
