Do you want to build a snowman? Kids and adults who love both Lego and Frozen — and we have a feeling there's some overlap — should be thrilled to know that Lego has created an amazing Frozen-themed set called Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle. Yes, it even includes your very own Lego Olaf. Image: Jonathan Ellis/MashableThe only problem? Lego is not releasing it in the U.S. until January. Why they're waiting until after the holiday season, when the set already exists in northern Europe, is puzzling at best. Frozen is "a wonderful movie," Lego's CEO Jorgen Vig Knudstorp told Bloomberg, "but for us, it’s a minor thing." Let it go, Lego. But here's the thing: You can actually get the set today — still in time for Christmas and the last night of Hanukkah — with some research and some luck.
The secret, as the site Hip2Save revealed, is that the sets are already sitting in some Target stores, sometimes in the back. Not only that, but you can use a site called BrickSeek to find out whether a nearby Target has the sets in stock. Go to this page, enter your ZIP code and use the "DCPI number" 086-14-2474.

On Sunday morning, BrickSeek told us that the Target in the Bronx neighborhood of Riverdale had 17 of the sets in stock. We took a long subway ride and raced to the store as quickly as we could. Yet when we arrived at the Lego aisle, huffing and puffing, Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle was nowhere to be seen. (Lego does have several other Disney Princess sets readily available.) Lego Olaf: He exists. Not clear what happens in summer.Image: Jonathan Ellis/MashableWe asked a Target employee, who said that the store didn't have a back stocking room, but said he would check someplace else in the store for us.
Where he went was never entirely clear. But after a few minutes, he returned to the aisle with multiple Frozen sets in hand! Not only did we pick one up, but he put a few of the sets on the shelf, which meant other families would get one for themselves. It was truly a Lego miracle. (And no, as a grown man, I don't care what they're going to say.)

Target did not respond to a request for comment, and a Lego spokeswoman said she couldn't "confirm anything at this point" about the set. If you don't live near a Target that has them in stock, you can now also try eBay as people start to pick them up. The set retails for $39.99.
