i am going with print.
but we will have to wait for the reviews to find out.
Overall not a bad set, but the color scheme looks a little off in Lego form. Nice to see a Lego castle in this size. The designer video was surprisingly bad however.
I really do do hope these are printed, but I would not be surprised if they were stickers. This would be the first instance of the Magic Sticker Theory were stickered pieces look like printed parts in photos.
this thing looks huuuuuuge!
Look at the long slope parts either side of the entrance - both have the same print/sticker but the one left of the door is very close to the studs, the one right of the door is slightly higher (further from the studs). There is no way these are printed.
Maybe they are clear stickers? Should be fun to get on if they are.
Or maybe the stickers are shaped (so the edge is lost in the design).
It wouldn't be suprising if these stickers are different to normal - you get a lot of them, they are big and there is only two designs. They could even be water slide finally.
maybe the stickers edge is on the black edge of the rock-texture? it looks like its standing out a bit (thickness of the sticker! )
I can't work out how this is done. That is a a piece (or two) with studs on 5 sides (or 4 sides next to each other). Is it new snot?
Maybe one of these with studs on the ends as well?
Or am I just being really dim this morning?
brick, modified with studs on 3 sides
The actual Castle in Orlando isn't completely grey, the portion that's tan on this model is actually a tan/grey/peach/pink in real life. It's a bit hard to tell, but there is a difference. It's not this tan as the Lego model depicts, but it isn't too ridiculous. I suspect they wanted to make that distinction, but with the current colors available in Lego that's what they went with.

I guess dark grey wall, light grey tower could have worked also. I can see the merits of both approaches honestly - I don't think it's clearly better either way.
best choice from 2016 color palette would probably be light nougat, but that's mostly just used for skin coloring, so likely a big stretch, and not sure it's better than tan. less color, which is good, but probably too pink.
;)
Didn't think of mirrored vinyl (not come across it before).
Still going to be a pain in the butt to fit in the right spot due to no real flat edge to line up.
I was really hoping the bricks were printed but not really expecting it. As @bandit778 said, they are going to be a pain to line up. I may just skip putting them on altogether as long as it doesnt look terrible that way.
Patience pays off, literally.
The only risk I see in not getting the castle early is that you might not get it in time for Xmas, and I see that risk as being low also.
I was going to ask if I could watch them apply the stone blocks stickers... but they are too nice so I didn't ;-)
Only got to see the top towers; looked good.
I actually asked a LEGO Store manager if I could help them build the display sets and she said to drop by any time. I haven't tested it out but her reply seemed genuine lolz
