I just got a bunch of Belville sets, and just finished building the Royal
Coach.

The coach is built on a 10x21x5.3 base. Only the front bench and the
footrest are molded in, the two rear benches are built of bricks and plates.
An apparently new 1x3x2 curved top piece is used for the ends of the rear
benches. These pieces are printed with flowers (no stickers in this set), as
is the coach base. The other special piece in the coach is the front wheel
axle/arch. The wheels mount on Technic pegs, and the smaller ones are about
5.5 studs in diameter, while the larger ones are about 7.5 studs in
diameter. The wheels are normal blue, while there are two 3+ flowers and 2
1x1 cylinders in the new Belville pale blue. Two white 1x4x2 multi-lobed
bricks are included.

Light yellow (cream) parts include 4 1x10 bricks, 2 1x4 tiles, 1 2x10 plate
2 dark pink 4x10 plates form the rear bench seats
2 trans pink 1x12x5 curved top arches are used to form the roof of the
carriage

Nifty accessory parts include:

2 gold 2x2 radar dish
1 gold 1x2 tile with large knob
2 gold Belville mini-crown
1 clear magician's wand
1 clear 4x6 chest and cover
1 trans pink wine jug
2 trans lt blue Belville goblets
1 white minifig goblet
1 lt pink 2x2 radar dish w/rose and filigree printing
2 lt green 3 branch flower stems
4 lt pink flowers
4 trans blue gems
1 trans green gem
1 trans pink gem
3 dark pink cherries
2 clear minifig heads are used in the lamps

This set has some nice accessories, but sure is expensive for what you get.
