41744: Sports Center Set Review
There are plenty of things to do in Heartlake City and the new LEGO® Friends gang has a brand new Sports Center to enjoy.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Clone Wars. This fabled conflict was briefly mentioned by old Ben Kenobi in 1977’s Star Wars and remained a mystery until 2003.
