Sales on My Not-So-Secret Disney Obsession.
I have a confession. My name is Tom and I’m a LEGO addict. Although I loved Walt Disney World as a kid and was obsessed with many of the animated films, it never really carried over to Disney stuff, save for those included with McDonald’s meals and Toy Story. Like so many children, I was raised on LEGOs. Along with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters, they were my go-to toys as a kid.
While I could sit and build my own creations for hours, my all-time favorite sets were those set in outer space. I had a few sets, but I loved to visit Toys R Us or page-through catalogues and daydream. Silly as it might sound, it’s still my goal to one day acquire one of the iconic LEGO space monorails. Since that’ll probably never happen, I’ll probably take advantage of the holiday deal and buy the LEGO Space: 1978 – 1992 book for 44% off to take a proper stroll down memory lane.
I maintained an interest in LEGOs even as an adult because I figured that, someday when we have kids, I’d get to “help” build LEGO sets again. That was my appeal to Sarah back when the LEGO Disney Castle set first released and I found a deal on it.
Well, that and that LEGO sets are a smart investment that often outperforms the stock market (but not if you play with them…as I plan to do). That enormous unbuilt Cinderella Castle box has now lived in 3 states, taking up an outsized amount of space in a couple of small apartments in the process. But it will all have been worth it once Megatron and me finally assemble the iconic set. I cannot wait.
That justification worked exactly one time before we had a baby, and understandably so. But in the two years since, I’ve gone to town, strategically purchasing sets here and there as sales have offered great discounts. I can tell that I’m wearing this out, but hopefully this post will change that. If all goes according to plan, this is the soft launch of Bricker’s Brick-Building Blog. Then now one can stop me from buying more LEGOs–it’s the perfect crime!
My prize acquisition is the LEGO Home Alone McAllister’s House, which I was lucky enough to score during an amazing deal. Upon seeing the box, Sarah joked that I was going to wait 18 years for Megatron to be of appropriate age to put it together. (Those are basically the Pirate’s Code, more like guidelines than actual rules; she should be ready by like, age 4-5, right? She’s really smart!)
I also know that I’m far from the only Disney fan who is also a LEGO fan. To the contrary, there seems to be a ton of overlap. Every time we visit Downtown Disney, I feel compelled to take Megatron into the LEGO Store (for educational purposes, of course).
The LEGO Store is literally the only shop at Downtown Disney with a nearly-perpetual line to enter. And I get it, because the LEGO Store is an awesome place to browse. It’s to “blame” for so many sets being on my wish list!
The point of all this, in a very roundabout way, is that I’m personally interested (you could say invested) in LEGO sets and have multiple deal alerts for ones that I have my eye on. The photo above is just a small portion of my sets (it’s not exactly easy to arrange LEGO boxes for a photoshoot).
Until Megatron is old enough, these will stay in the boxes–with the only exception being that I put together one LEGO Winter Village set each Christmas. I’ve already scored a couple of sets in the last month-plus during fairly unprecedented Prime Day, as well as the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, and figured I’d share some of the top ongoing deals on Disney LEGOs throughout the holiday shopping season.
My goal is to keep this updated throughout the rest of the holiday shopping season (last year, a couple of my best LEGO finds came in December, after the hottest sales had supposedly ended). As always, we receive a small commission from Amazon for your purchases, so buying through these links helps support the site. However, neither the price you pay nor our recommendations (or lack thereof) are impacted by that.
On with the list of the hottest deals on LEGO sets that are Disney (and Disney-adjacent) all updated as of December 14, 2025…
LEGO Disney Frozen Advent Calendar (2025) – At 47% off as of December 14th, this is a scorching hot deal. We expected it to sell out on Cyber Monday. Perhaps Frozen Fever has cooled down? Or maybe Amazon has a lot of excess inventory?! Either way, this great Advent calendar is not-to-be-missed! Megatron is already a huge Frozen fan, but she’s still too young for this, so it’ll be something we hold for a couple of years.
LEGO Disney and Pixar ‘Up’ House – This 598-piece LEGO Disney toy set includes a partial house built with balloons, different rooms and functions, plus Carl Fredricksen and Russell LEGO minifigures, and a Dug LEGO dog figure for dog lovers. Fantastic deal at 49% off as of December 14, 2025.
LEGO Disney Encanto Magical Madrigal House – Note that there are two different LEGO Encanto Casitas, and this is the larger of the two. It’s approximately 3 times the size of the smaller one, with 1,560 pieces and 8 rooms. It also features 7 LEGO Disney movie characters and 2 LEGO Disney animal figures. Good deal at 23% off, albeit not the best we’ve ever seen.
LEGO Disney Sleeping Beauty Maleficent’s Dragon – This 583-piece building set for kids includes a posable LEGO Disney dragon figure that stands over 7 inches tall, buildable castle section, plus 2 LEGO Disney mini doll figures & horse. As part of Amazon’s daily holiday Lightning Deals, this is currently 39% off and selling fast (82% claimed as of December 14, 2025).
LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 – This is better than the similar animal characters since robots and blocks are a more organic fit. Or synthetic fit. Whatever. Also 20% off as of December 14, 2025.
LEGO Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Mos ESPA Podrace – This set includes authentic models of Anakin Skywalker’s Podracer and his rival Sebulba’s Podracer, against a backdrop of the Arch Canyon part of Tatooine’s Mos Espa Podracing circuit, plus a LEGO Star Wars 25th anniversary brick and a plaque with a Qui-Gon Jinn quotation. This one is 33% off as of December 14, 2025.
LEGO Disney Young Simba The Lion King – This 1,445-piece LEGO construction set for adults features a posable Lion King figure that stands over 11.5 in. tall on display. Created for the Lion King’s 30th Anniversary–on sale for 35% off as of December 14, 2025.
LEGO Disney Stitch – Same idea with Stitch, albeit fewer pieces and a lower age recommendation. But you can also move his head. 20% off as of December 14th.
LEGO Disney Angel – This is basically Stitch, but a different color. In this 784-piece building set based on Disney’s Lilo & Stitch TV show, the buildable Angel character, together with her 3-hearts decoration, stands over 10 inches tall. Another 20% off deal.
LEGO Disney’s Moana Adventure Canoe – Includes a buildable double-hulled canoe toy with a textile sail, removable deck and under-deck living area, plus 4 LEGO Disney movie characters and lots of details. 20% off.
LEGO Santa’s Delivery Truck – You might contend that this has nothing to do with Disney and thus does not belong on this list. However, Santa Claus currently meets at Walt Disney World in more locations than Mickey Mouse (if my count is accurate) and he’s the grand finale of a parade! A great addition to the Winter Village, and solid deal at 20% off.
LEGO Christmas Table Decoration – I don’t own this, nor is it on my wishlist. I’ve debated getting it because I love all things Christmas and it’s a great deal at 50% off…but this is a bunch of leaves and flowers, and I’m more of a brick-er. Still undecided. I was hoping for deals on other elements of the Winter Village as we got closer to Christmas.
LEGO Disney Snow White’s Jewelry Box – Includes a buildable jewelry box toy with a lockable lid, a Disney bracelet, plenty of decorating elements, and Snow White and the Evil Queen LEGO mini figures. This set isn’t my speed, but it’s decent deal at 20% off as of December 14, 2025.
LEGO Disney Lucky & Penny 101 Dalmatians Puppies – Build and play with Lucky and Penny, two adorable puppies from Disney’s classic 101 Dalmatians movie. Currently an okay deal at 20% off.
LEGO Disney Moana 2 Heihei – Features a brick-built, posable construction model of Moana’s chicken companion Heihei, along with a display stand with decorative flowers and a nameplate. I don’t really care for this set, but a decent deal at 20% off.
LEGO Gremlins Gizmo – Bring the cutest Mogwai from the 1984 Gremlins movie to life with this set for adults. This collectible model kit captures all of Gizmo’s adorable characteristics in posable LEGO style, bringing a touch of 80s nostalgia to any space. Note that this is only on sale for 20% off at Target, not Amazon. Gremlins also is obviously not Disney–I just really love it and picked this one up for myself!
LEGO Disney Wish Asha’s Cottage – Regardless of the movie’s quality, this looks fun. And a steal of a deal at 40% off. If your kids didn’t like Wish or you didn’t see it, I dunno, tell them it’s the cottage from Snow White.

We love hearing from readers, so please share any other thoughts or questions you have in the comments below!
Awesome to see that you are also a fellow AFOL! A man named BRICKer is almost destined to be a Lego fan if you ask me! It’s built into your DNA, as it were. You are totally within your element. You’ve written another well thought out piece. May you and Sarah and Megatron play well!
Keeping up with such a LEGO Blog would be like playing with fire for me. I also grew up with Lego foremost but I missed the Lego-Adult phase. I did a similar thing with my kids and have been living vicariously through them. The age recommendations are real, IMO, which could be used strategically if one wanted to end up ‘having to’ build something themselves. Purely hypothetical, of course. I have not so far, however, crossed the line of buying LEGO for myself, that is purely adult targeted. Hence the ‘playing with fire’ notion, as probably not much is missing to get me over that hump. So, I would not NOT be interested in such a blog for my own good.
A Lego Brickumentary : Beyond the Brick,.. this led me to respect Lego,.. and I now somewhat yearn for the Tuxedo Cat since it brings to mind Jellycat which you may or may not know about,..
This line from your article caught my attention – “The point of all this, in a very roundabout way, is that I’m personally interested (you could say invested) in LEGO sets and have multiple deal alerts for ones that I have my eye on.” So, any chance you would share how you go about setting deal alerts? Thanks!
My 14 year old wanted to try some sets that were a little more grown-up, so she recently got some of the botanicals line. I was a skeptic, but they are amazing. I love them around my house, to the extent that I’ve had to buy more vases.
My 30-something daughter was a Lego fan as a child and she’s now an adult Lego fan. Yes, she has and built the full-sized Cinderella Castle purchased while on her honeymoon nine years ago. And she’s purchased and built many of the Disney sets you mention. She was also fascinated by space as a child, and that has continued – Tom, did you see the “Over The Moon” set done in collaboration with Pharrell Williams (apparently a space and Lego fan himself!)? Not on sale at Amazon, but was on sale at Target pre-Black Friday a couple of weeks ago, now sold out at Lego.com. It’s being retired soon. Check it out! I bought it for my daughter, but it turned out she had already purchased and built it. 🙂
If looking to get the Disney Castle secondhand (71040) or new (43222), what would you recommend of the sets? Seems like the 43222 is the 50th castle color scheme that is going to be going back to the original (71040) soon.
Hi Jason,
You really have to look closely at both and decide for yourself.
That said I preferred the first one 71040 for a number of reasons.
One, I liked the 5 mini figures with that castle over the 8 on the 50th edition. Second, I didn’t think the attempt at fireworks was successful and detracted to the look. Third I liked the color scheme better. That’s just me. 43222 is less expensive and you can probably buy the 5 figures with the money you save AND no one says you have to use the fireworks so that solves two of my problems right there.
No one can make that decision for you. I’m sure you’ll get it right.
I love LEGO so much! I really want the Home Alone house. I have the Hocus Pocus one and it is amazing. I will say it is dangerous (and expensive) to get your child into this. My child is now 18 and we just redid their bedroom. LEGO display was required for the remodel. Her favorite is Rivendell. She’s dying for Barad-dur and the Titanic. We have a ton of Disney, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Friends, Minecraft, Modulars, and anything else that has struck our fancy.
Love your inclusion of the construction crane!! Well done!
Legos is one of my weakness. I have waay too many in boxes sets still. but one day I’ll assemble them. I always buy them if they are on a good sale or very special ones like the Minecraft ones or Pixar ones.
Bless you for making this post – also had to laugh at the comment that you are more of a “brick-er.” Well done, sir.
Also, I have to ask if you are willing to share; what kind of deal did you end up getting on the Home Alone house set?
tom, have you watched LEGO Masters? such a fantastic show! (and they will tell you in no uncertain terms, it is “LEGO bricks” and not “LEGOs”, even though it’s a mistake literally everyone makes, lol)
I haven’t!
That’s interesting to know about LEGO bricks, and makes sense based on how other companies handle their branding. It’s likely an intellectual property safeguard, as they don’t want the term LEGO to become genericized. The example that always comes to mind for me is “Kleenex tissues,” which was the law school case study.
Basic overview here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark
We have a child whose avid (rabid) LEGO enthusiasm overlaps with Star Wars. We’ve been accumulating sets for about 12 years now. We have skyline sets with trip photos and the map hanging in our dining room. I also love the holiday sets. Both kids display favorite themed sets in their rooms and have made scenes in the basement. Like everything else, prices have gone up, but they are still an excellent return on investment, even played with. As long as your bricks are in good shape (not chewed up, cracked, etc), many used sets, especially licensed, will hold their value as long as they are complete. It is the one toy that I don’t cringe at buying. It can built as the set proper, modded, totally reused elsewhere, given away, or resold. Almost never money wasted or future trash.
Totally agree with this…even though most of my sets are still in boxes.
I just remember how many countless hours I got out of playing with LEGOs, versus my other toys. And I see today how many products are designed to basically be disposable. Sure, they’re cheaper upfront…but how long do they last and need to be replaced? Meanwhile, LEGOs keep going strong!
