Both of my children love Frozen and we also have the older Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle and Arendelle Castle sets along with the smaller Anna & Kristoff's Sleigh Adventure, Anna's Snow Adventure and Anna & Elsa's Frozen Playgound sets.

This newer Ice Palace is a definite improvement on the older Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle and also a fair bit bigger too. My children love that Marshmallow the ice monster is included in this set and he has been an immediate hit along with the Snowgies.

Size:-

I think one of the main questions may be how does this new Magical Ice Palace compare in size to the other ice castle/palace sets and I can confirm as I mentioned above that it is larger than the older Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle and only just a little bit bigger than Arendelle Castle. The Ice Palace has 701 pieces compared to Arendelle Castle's 477 pieces and the older Ice Castle's 292 pieces.

For further comparison If putting Arendelle Castle next to the new Ice Palace then the base of each of them is the same size except for the curved front sliding bridge part of the new Ice Palace. The Ice Palace is also just a little bit taller than Arendelle with the flip-out stairs expanding the width of the Ice Palace by a little bit too. I shall attach some photos of the two castles next to each other in the next few days if not already attached (I recently packed the older Ice Castle away when the new one arrived but I still have its measurements for comparison) to show their size next to each other.

I have measured Elsa's Magical Ice Palace myself and it measures approx 24cm wide by 19cm deep by 32cm high including the slide width.

The playground with snow fort measures 11cm wide by 5cm deep by 7cm high.

Marshmallow measures 9cm wide (with arms at sides) by 4cm deep by 7cm high.

Age Suitability:-

The set is aimed at children between 6 and 12 years old and some parts are a little tricky to build such as the sliding bridge and so I would say that younger children may need some help at points.

Build Bags etc:-

The set has one thick instruction booklet with step by step instructions and six main build bags. The set has 701 pieces plus some small additional spares. The set also comes with three main base boards, a small slide and a sticker sheet.

Figures:-

The set comes with Anna and Elsa figures, a buildable Olaf figure, four Snowgies and a buildable Marshmallow ice monster. Elsa has a sparkling cape and an ice piece which is held in her hand with a small see-through holder that looks much better than her just holding the ice piece like in the older set.

Palace:-

The palace itself has two main levels with the downstairs featuring a kitchen unit, table, stools and music podium. The kitchen unit has an opening cupboard which will fit the chocolate piece in by itself. There is a small slide with steps up to it and the stairs have a handle which can be turned to retract and expand the staircase. The main doors have a sliding bridge function to make Anna or Elsa magically glide out of them and this also makes the doors open smoothly.

The upstairs has Elsa's bedroom which has a large bed, rug, ice mirror and a hanging crystal chandelier. Elsa's bedroom leads out onto the large balcony which has opening balcony guards for easier access.

Extra's:-

The set comes with a separate playground and snow fort for the Snowgies and the see-saw does move. The set also comes with three sleds which can be attached together to make a larger sleigh if wished. Other little accessories include a teapot, two glasses, bar of chocolate, cake, carrot and ice-cream display.

This is a beautifully designed Frozen set with lots of attention to detail and a fair bit bigger with more attention to detail than the older version. As usual with Disney Lego sets they are a little pricier than similar sized non-Disney Lego sets but this is a great set for any Frozen or Disney Princess Lego fans. Both of my children love playing with this set and it really is a lovely set to build and play with. They especially like the sliding bridge, staircase and of course Marshmallow. I managed to pay a little bit less than the main retail price of £64.99 for the set and so it is worth keeping an eye out for the occasional price drop here on Amazon too. A brilliant Frozen set and much better than the older version.

I saw this and had to get it for my daughters christmas. It is a really heavy box, there is a lot of parts to it and I love that you get all Anna and Elsa together as well as Olaf, the Ice Monster and the little snowball men. The castle takes a long time to build as there is a lot to it but so worth it once it is done. It is amazing to look at and my daughter adores it, playing Frozen regularly. I would highly recommend it, it really is great.

This Lego set is amazing, my 6 year old daugher sat there, until she build the whole castle. I got it in the sale, which was bonus as well.

Bought this for Christmas for my 4 year old frozen and lego lover. She spent 2 days making it & was completely absorbed in it & loved seeing it coming together. Very easy to follow for her age. She then spent days playing with it & now a month later wants to take it all apart & start building it again! Looks great in the sunlight!

Lots of run on Christmas Day building this with my daughter. She loved it. The finished piece wasn’t as large as I expected for the price.

So expensive and hard to assemble i wish id glued it together as we went its all in pieces again now and ill never be able to get it back together now

My little niece loved this, her mum who did a lot of the building not so much! Great for £40.

Not a lot of parts for the price but my granddaughter loved it. Lego is becoming a very expensive toy

LEGO siempre sorprende con productos de gran calidad. De momento no lo abro ya que es un regalo de reyes para mi sobrina y seguro que le va a encantar. Lo he visto montado en una tienda de Lego y más pequeño de lo que parece en la caja pero el nivel de detalles de las piezas son de lo mejor que he visto. Además con la rebaja, más barato que en la tienda oficial. Artículo recomendado.

Spedizione velocissima come al solito, l'ho acquistato come regalo di compleanno per una bambina di 5 anni innamorata di Frozen, ed è rimasta davvero contentissima.

Il castello è bellissimo e molto curato nei particolari: la scatola contiene un libretto di istruzioni dettagliato, che è chiaro e di facile intuizione, e quindi comprensibile anche per i più piccoli. Il montaggio è facilitato dalla divisione dei pezzi in vari sacchettini, cosa che lo rende più semplice e adatto ai bambini: infatti in questo modo è molto più facile trovare i pezzi, e più difficile poterli perdere, anche perché molti pezzi sono davvero piccolissimi.

L'assemblaggio per una bambina di 5-6 anni è comunque difficilissimo, serve necessariamente la presenza e la collaborazione di una persona adulta, anche perché su alcuni pezzi occorre forza per permettere il corretto aggancio e/o incastro: ma alla fine dell'impresa, l'espressione meravigliata della bambina e il suo divertimento nel poterci finalmente giocare, la ripagheranno di tutti gli sforzi profusi.

Veramente consigliato.

Der Traum meiner Tochter war ein Elsa Schloss. Daher haben wir ihr diesen erfüllt und das Produkt gekauft. Der Aufbau war aufgrund der Anleitung sehr einfach, wenn auch zeitaufwendig. Das Schloss enthält viele wunderschöne Details und wirkt wirklich prächtig. Es sind auch viele Spielfiguren dabei z.b. Anna Elsa Olaf und Marshmallow. Mit dem aufgebauten Schloss wird nun regelmäßig gespielt, man sollte jedoch darauf achten dass die Kinder ein gewisses Alter haben, da viele verschluckbare Kleinteile vorhanden sind, die auch gerne mal im Staubsauger landen. Aber das ist ja bei den Lego Sachen immer so. Daher würden wir das Produkt weiterempfehlen, auch wenn der Preis recht hoch ist.

四歳の娘に購入

最初はオーシャンクルーズが欲しいといってたのですが、対象年齢7歳なので難しすぎるだろうとこちらに変更。

朝起きて発見すると、もう朝御飯も食べないほど夢中に。ブロックも袋に番号がふってあって、さすがレゴ。これは初心者でもつくりやすいです。

娘には、はじめに説明書の見方を教えて

わからなければ言ってね。と私は横で縫い物をしたりアイロンをかけたりと家事をしていました。

昼前には半分、晩御飯までに完成し

本人も大満足。

これならオーシャンクルーズもできるかな？と購入決定！

ブロックも半透明でとてもきれいですし、アナ雪好きなお子さまには絶対喜ぶ素敵なプレゼントかとおもいます。

ただ、崩すのがもったいないので、収納が難しいかな(笑)

飾る場所が必要です

Great Lego set, hard to find and good value!
