LOVED (7)

01Impressive castle size that looks far larger than the piece count suggests
02Exclusive glitter-filled transparent blue rockface and crystal pieces
03Interactive staircase play feature with finger-operated step creation
04Detailed minidolls of Elsa, Anna, and Olaf with accurate printing and dress details
05Dollhouse-style layout with multiple distinct rooms and accessories
06New three-holed magenta cape design

CRITICIZED (7)

01Elsa's hair is blonde rather than platinum white, a widely noticed inaccuracy
02Olaf's buckteeth detail is invisible in the execution
03No Kristoff minifigure included
04Pink jewels on the balcony look out of place against the ice castle aesthetic
05Some elements do not match movie canon (ice cream station, skis)
06Staircase sections are not fixed to the floor without modification
07Owner value-for-money signal at the LEGO.com level (3.82 out of 5) is the weakest aspect, suggesting the original $39.99 price felt borderline for some buyers

Dimensional Analysis

Investment Layer

Value drivers

Jay's Brick Blog: Elsa and Anna as first official LEGO minidolls of these iconic characters; despite Elsa's hair colour flaw, both minidolls drive set value

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Minidoll figures of Elsa, Anna, and Olaf with unique color variations and details; may appeal to Frozen collectors

Exclusivity

Jay's Brick Blog: Wide retail (not exclusive); available at LEGO.com, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers, but sold out almost immediately upon release

JANG's LEGO Reviews: LEGO Disney Princess licensed set; Frozen theme exclusivity

Resale

Jay's Brick Blog: Expects strong aftermarket demand; notes widespread sell-outs and backorders across retailers

Brickset Reviews: I doubt we will ever see much of a price reduction on this set as it will no doubt fly off the shelves

Frozen fans and young builders love the minifigures and clever staircase design, but many feel the castle is too small for the price and note durability issues with capes and occasional missing pieces.
