“I honestly think this set is awesome, and i just love all the unique undersea elements like the seaweed, crabs, starfish, seahorse, and just the over-all color scheme of it.”

“This set is a treasure trove of unique and vibrant pieces, including colorful transparent fish, jellyfish, and castle tops, plus an array of starfish and orange crabs. While the figures have limited articulation and customization, the set’s stunning variety of parts makes it a must-have for fans of magical builds or collectors of rare LEGO elements.”
 

About Belville

The Belville theme which was introduced in 1994 and later discontinued in 2009 was created to appeal primarily to girls. While the sets revolved around the concept of the LEGO system it featured doll-like figures known as Belville Figures instead of regular LEGO minifigures. The Belville Figures featured multiple joints to make play more like normal doll play and were larger than minifigures. The Belville theme was the predecessor to LEGO Friends.

Belville The Mermaid Castle set 5960 was released in March 2006, retailing for $70, but has since been retired. New, unopened The Mermaid Castle sets are valued at $423, while used sets can be found for $300 in good condition.
