41757: Botanical Garden Set Review
As Heartlake City continues to expand with new characters and locations, the latest LEGO® Friends sets continue to follow the adventures of the new gang of Friends. One of those new sets is the Botanical Garden. Forgive the plant pun, but let’s not beat about the bush, this is one of the best LEGO Friends set released. I would go as far as saying it’s one of the best LEGO sets ever released. But what makes it so...
LEGO Friends 2023 Sets Reviews Round-up
For what seems like an age, I’m been taking a look at the new LEGO® Friends sets and for over three months and 13 reviews, I’ve finally reached the end. In total, I’ve reviewed 17 of the new LEGO Friends sets and you can catch up on them all below. It’s clear, the new direction for LEGO Friends offers a unique mix of new ideas and new characters but also an air of familiarity. Highlights include the Bedroom...
41732: Downtown Flower & Design Stores Set Review
It’s been a long slog but my final LEGO® Friends set review is here. The set I’m looking at today is the largest of the newly rebooted LEGO Friends sets not to mention the biggest Friends set ever released. The Downtown Flower and Design Stores set caused quite a stir when it was first revealed, thanks to its interesting design and large-scale size. But does the set love up to the hype and should the LEGO Friends theme...
41731: Heartlake International School Set Review
For my penultimate LEGO® Friends set review, I’m taking a look at the second largest of the new sets. It’s also quite an important location in Heartlake City as the school is where the new group of LEGO Friends meet. The Heartlake International School is also the focus of the feature-length first episode of the LEGO Friends The Next Chapter animated series. The school brings together students from across Heartlake City and...
41729: Organic Grocery Store Set Review
Despite being revealed last year, mainstream media has only just cottoned on to the fact that LEGO® Friends has changed. The new sets have introduced a number of new characters that better reflect the differences some people have. By some people, that includes kids. You would think allowing kids to see themselves in their toys would be a good thing. Well it totally is, but some have decided characters with differences are terrible and...
41730: Autumn’s House Set Review
Although the new range of LEGO® Friends sets is focused on a new generation of characters, they haven’t forgotten their roots. The 10 previous years of characters and storytelling haven’t been wiped away and the history of Heartlake City remains in place, even if the original five girls have gone on to have new adventures. One of them is all grown up and has remained in Heartlake City with her new family. But which of the...
41743: Hair Salon Set Review
It’s time for another LEGO® Friends set review and a look at the last of the smaller-scale sets. Hair Salons have been been the inspiration for a few previous Friends sets including one released in 2020. This is almost a remake of that set, as it features plenty of similar traits. But it still offers something new and is the largest of the Hair Salons to be featured in the LEGO Friends theme. Has a new generation of characters...
