Prepare yourselves, Disney parks fans, because an official Lego Main Street USA set is on the way.
While you'll find a Main Street USA at the entrance of almost every Disney park (be it Walt Disney World or overseas resorts like Disneyland Paris), this miniature version is inspired by the original Disneyland in California. Besides including beloved locations and mainstays like the Dapper Dan barbershop quartet, this model is littered with references. With nearly 4,000 pieces, it's also big enough to challenge some of the best Lego sets. That means it's also full of hidden references to Disneyland and beyond.
This enormous model is designed as an 18+ display piece rather than a playset, and it's made up of 3,899 pieces. It also features 16 minifigures, including the four Dapper Dan singers, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and Main Street USA cast members in their traditional costumes. Yes, it's a more expensive kit - and that cost will make some eyes water. But if you're familiar with Lego pricing, it's not too far out of the ordinary for a model of this size and complexity. It's roughly on par with Lego Gringotts Bank, for instance.

While it'll be a delight for any Disney parks fan (it recreates sights seen around the world, from the window displays laden with movie references to the Emporium shop and popcorn stands), this version is specifically based on the Disneyland Anaheim site. That means it's got the Disney family's apartment above the fire station (complete with the lamp in the window that'd always be on when Walt was staying there) and the Crystal Arcade.
Because Main Street classically leads up to the castle (the focal point of the main Disney parks), and a Lego version of the Disney World castle exists too, fans can now theoretically recreate that portion of the happiest place on earth at home. Add in the now-retired Disney Train and Station for the ultimate Main Street setup.
Now we just need a Lego take on the original Snow White Castle...
