Review of LEGO Set 43173 Aurora’s Roya Carriage

For those unfamiliar with her name, this is Sleeping Beauty. I don’t remember the story well enough to even know if she has a carriage in the movie. Guess that is what Disney+ is for.

Not being a fan of the “girls” line because LEGO has always been a gender neutral toy and those minidolls are hideous, sometimes I find myself picking up a Friends or Disney set despite that hatred because I find the parts interesting.

The gold parts, flowers, and the owl got me to pick up this $10 set. (Because I couldn’t get the owl on Brick and Pieces and did not want to py shipping for just the owl from a Bricklink seller. )

While most of my minidolls are languishing bald in a box somewhere, Aurora may stay intact. That is unless I find a use for her hair elsewhere.

I only wish the parts of the minidolls were more in system like a standard minifig. Her dress could be used for something else but the top connection doesn’t work with anything other than a minidoll torso.

So what is the reasoning LEGO has a small table, tea cup, and cake with a carriage set? I don’t know! Perhaps the owl is hungry?

Overall not a bad little set even with my personal objections to it.

I had to take the carriage out for a spin. Why not it is a magical, horseless carriage after all.
