41741: Dog Rescue Van Friends Set Review
I’ve always assumed Heartlake City was a hip and happening place, where its residents were a happy bunch of folk. Presumably, they were so joyful thanks to the complete lack of crime and random arson attacks which are prevalent over in LEGO® City. However, after building the first half of this new LEGO Friends set those assumptions were shattered. But why is it so disheartening? Let’s find out in another LEGO Friends set...
LEGO Friends Bedroom Sets Review
Next year will see the LEGO® Friends theme completely rebooted with a new cast of characters. This new generation of Heartlake City will be more diverse and offer fun new ways for kids to see themselves in the toys they play with. Even before the upcoming changes, LEGO Friends has offered groups of similar sets such as Heart Boxes and Cubes. This will continue with the new sets and 4 Bedroom sets. These also provide one of the easiest...
41714: Andrea’s Theatre School Set Review
LEGO® Friends sets are often overlooked by the AFOL community. Friends sets often include an unusual mix of colours and of course, Mini-dolls, so I understand they lack the appeal of other themes. But they shouldn’t be completely written off as LEGO Friends has plenty of hidden gems and the set I’m taking a look at today is one such set. As the Friends sets continue to diversify ahead of a rumoured reboot, this is the...
41708: Roller Disco Arcade Set Review
This year marks the 10th anniversary of LEGO® Friends and it’s a theme which shows no signs of slowing down. The latest wave of sets features some particularly interesting builds and also continues to expand the residents of Heartlake City, with new characters and a greater balance between gendered mini-dolls. I must admit I don’t build that many of the Friends sets, although I have do not dislike of mini-dolls, I do...
41707: Tree-Planting Vehicle Set Review
LEGO Friends has always had an odd relationship with LEGO fans. Many simply wrote it off as a girls theme and the use of Mini-dolls has always been a sticking point when compared to Minifigures. I personally have no issues with either. In fact, there have been plenty of impressive little Friends sets and they have become way more diverse over the years. Despite my appreciation for the theme, I don’t give it enough coverage, but...
LEGO 2020 Polybag Sets Review
Who doesn’t enjoy a polybag? These small sets give you a taster of what to expect from various LEGO® themes. This week Lidl UK started selling a selection of LEGO them. But some of these polybag sets are also available elsewhere. The NINJAGO set can also be found in Asda and one of the LEGO City sets and the Friends set is being given away in LEGO Stores. The cheapest way to get them all is at Lidl, but however to go about...
41401: Stephanie’s Play Cube Review
LEGO® Friends isn’t a theme which makes up much of my LEGO collection. But every so often there is a set which catches my eye. As 2020 begins we are treated to a number of new play functions and elements, which is something I like to take a closer look at. One of those new elements is the collectible LEGO Friends Play Cube, a series of enclosed mini playsets. These use a new clam shell type box to house a small scene based on...
