Update Your Christmas List: Lego is Releasing a Cinderella Castle Set

...and no, I don't mean the one that already exists:

 PC: Target

That is Cinderella's "Romantic Castle," and is only 646 pieces -- plus, it's meant for ages 6-12. Key word: meant. 

(Okay. I don't actually own this one. But I do own the Frozen ones. Don't judge. Much like Disney, Lego is for kids of all ages.)

The thing about the Disney Legos is that they're unequivocally for girls: they're in the pink boxes (much like the Lego fairies in the purple boxes) and are often found in the "girl toy" aisle. Even at Target, which notoriously took a stand against gender labeling, the Disney Legos aren't with the other (re: boy) Legos, they're with the girl toys. Only one aisle over, to be sure--and you could probably make the argument that there's just no room, but why aren't the Star Wars Legos in their own aisle?

I digress.

Starting September 1st, you can buy a legit, grown-up, beautiful Cinderella castle set from Lego:

 Look at this thing--it's absolutely beautiful.

And Definitely not for kids -- the ages on the box say "16+" and at 4,080 pieces, it's got over 6x the number of pieces of the "Princess castle." (Of course, it's Disney, so the price tag has gone up as well: at $350.00, it's about 6x the cost as well. At least they're consistent?)

But look at the detail!

It's not just a hollow facade--there's an open back with fun details like a glass slipper, a magic mirror, Sleeping Beauty's spinning wheel, and Aladdin's lamp!

I know what my husband and I will be getting each other for Christmas this year...
