DISNEY
For a smaller version of the big Disney Castle, you cant go wrong with this dreamy set below with its new dark blue turret roof elements; or if you want to dream, maybe Sleeping Beauty’s Castle is more appropriate.
41154 Cinderella’s Dream Castle | $69.99 USD
Also available from Amazon, eBay and Bricklink

The Friendship House below is a stunner with its tiled exterior, but the Camper Van is a loaded for a weekend getaway and Mia’s Tree House has a ton of new flowers and leaves.

CREATOR
Along with the 60th Anniversary sets and a pair of cool planes, we now have a Winter Home, Mythical Creatures and this Sunshine Surfer Van.
Sunshine Surfer Van | $34.99 USD

NINJAGO
Spinjitzu is back with a spinner for every character, but this is the temple that caught our eye, filled with new Kabuki masks and a Kurosawa-esque burning rooftop collapse.
Temple of Resurrection | $69.99 USD
Also available from Amazon, eBay and Bricklink
There are even more sets online with a few from Elves, Minecraft, DC Comics and even Duplo too. 2018 looks like it is off to a great start!
