There’s an undeniable feeling of joy that sweeps over your body anytime you set foot into a Disney theme park. Everything is so immersive and well-kept; the people are so kind and welcoming; it’s just like jumping into a pool of happiness. That’s mainly symbolized by the castle Disney builds in the center of each park, but at the first Disney park, it’s also represented by Main Street USA.
Most Disney parks have some sort of Main Street USA section, but it’s hard to top the original from 1955. The first place Walt Disney himself and millions upon millions of others walk through every single year. And while most of us can’t walk down Main Street USA every day and feel that childlike wonder that Disney brings, you can now recreate it with Lego.
This week, Lego officially revealed a brand new Main Street USA set, and it looks amazing. With so much color and so much detail, it truly is a sight to behold. And it better be. The set retails for $400. It’ll be available starting June 4, but here are a few images.
All your favorite places are there. The Fire Department. Walt’s office on top of that. The Emporium, Crystal Arcade, a popcorn stand, and more. It also comes with a ton of mini-figures, such as Mickey, Minnie, the Dapper Dans, and Disney fans of all sorts.
The biggest issue I find with sets like this is how to display them. Of course, if you display them from the front, they look the best. But the backs are also just so packed with details. Here you get toys in the store, a place to buy Mickey ears, a little castle; it’s just so much. You almost wish you could buy a little stand that spins it around so you can look at it from every angle.
You can see more photos of Main Street USA on the official Lego site. Are you going to pick this one up?
