"With a BrickScore of 85.3 and 95% of owners recommending it, the Disney Castle is one of the most beloved large-scale LEGO sets ever produced, delivering a once-in-a-collection build experience and a display model that stuns in person far more than any photograph suggests."
The Disney Castle (71040) earns its Highly Recommended standing on the strength of its breathtaking scale, intricate interior detail, and the emotional resonance it carries for Disney fans. Reviewers consistently describe the completed model as a showpiece that exceeds expectations in every dimension, literally and figuratively. Owner sentiment is equally strong: 877 ratings average 4.7 out of 5, and 95% of LEGO.com buyers say they would recommend it. The primary friction point is cost, which reviewers acknowledge while still calling the set worth the money.

"71040 Cinderella's Castle is a wonderful LEGO set. It isn't cheap, but for the price you get an immense quantity of bricks for you or your kids to play with if you ever tire of having the castle on display."

"I did hear that they are repainting the castle at Disney World. So this peachy pink color is going to be closer to gray or white."

"This is a very expensive set, but the price-to-part ratio is extraordinarily low considering the large number of large pieces in the lower half and the quantity of new exclusive prints and part recolors. The reviewer argues that objectively you get what you pay for when considering the four of five exclusive minifigures and the generous parts inclusions. Subjective value depends on individual priorities regarding Disney appeal and display preferences."
