Lego has officially revealed its $220 take on Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, coming March 4th, and it looks incredible.
It also looks a lot like a fan design!

I definitely prefer the more thatched, lively look of the Lego’s official playset, though — and Lego has repeatedly recognized that particular fan designer in a different way.
“Hanwasyellowfirst” also created The Mountain Windmill, which went on to earn its creator well over $100,000 in estimated royalties after Lego greenlit it to become a BrickLink Designer…
