42640 January wave for friends courtesy of https://falconbricks.com/news/lego-2025-sets/#friends Quite a few interesting sounding sets, especially airport set and heartlake city apartments and stores, hopefully a big set. Glad to see we’re getting a few animal sets too!

I think it’s a stoma bag.

Yes, instagram exacbrickslegogo

I’m impressed with the new sets, especially the adventure camp treehouse (and it includes beavers 🦫!)

Could it be Lego based off Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game and had to have a different code name because it’s not part of the movies?

Brick Clicker has just confirmed next summer Friends are getting a jungle exploration wave, very exciting! I thought the last wave was great when they teamed up with National Geographic, which they might be doing this time as City are also getting sets. I hope they’ll be plenty of new animal molds, perhaps a recolour of the adult tiger from the Disney sets.

@PotterBlocks thanks for sharing, I’m glad it’s minidolls, I always think Disney princesses translate a lot better to mini dolls than minifigs. Gothel does look very good but to my eyes it’s doesn’t look like they’ve updated Flynn, which surprises me with the new (worse imo ) faces they’ve given the minidolls. Build wise I think the snuggly duckling pub looks great (minus the slide) but the tower looks lacklustre compared but I’ll wait to give my final verdict until we’ve seen more pictures. I wonder when we’ll get to see mini Ariel’s palace?

Just noticed Kaya from the farm sanctuary set has heterochromia.

Better pictures of the friends reunion set… amazing! And the parents actually have a bedroom, I usually feel very sorry for the parents of HLC not having a room of their own https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/andrea-s-modern-mansion-42639

Wow that cat is lovely @Lemerbrix, the chunky cats always looks great, we seem to be really getting spoilt in the January wave. The hamster set is amazing, for such a small set the playability is great, I would have spent hours playing with that as a child (and now!) The 4+ farm animal vet clinic not only includes a goat but a kid too! The inclusion of the printed pregnancy scan is cute, is this the first time Lego has referenced an animal being pregnant? If so, it might be a step forward to getting a pregnant minidoll but I don think that’ll ever happen. Excited for the calf, looks a good mold, the farm sanctuary set I feel is a bit of a let down build wise but has some nice features. The mobile bakery, again for a small set very detailed and nice vehicle. Pet adoption day is a nice surprise, but did have to look what the name was to see what the set was about, again lots of playability and I like that Lego are including the older members of the series more and more. The music talent show is executed very well, love how they’ve done the strobe lighting and I’m glad we’re getting Paisley in her stage alter ego and another adult Andrea. Hot dog van is ok as well as the hospital ambulance, again great that they’re introducing more varied minidolls, friends is really great for this, I think on the minidoll is it supposed to be a cochlear implant? Space set looks excellent from what I can tell from the blurry image, very detailed and focuses on how they could live in space (obviously with a big dose of imaginary storytelling) adult Olivia and a space cat!

A look at the new Disney wish polybag https://www.jb-spielwaren.de/en/lego-30661-asha-s-welcome-booth/a-30661/

I think it includes a goat too, if you look at the side of the box at the bottom it looks like the shape of a goat and I think you can see it’s face on the front of the box stood on a table.

Wow, unexpected but great news. I wonder if it’ll just be avatar way of water or the first as well. There’s plenty of scope left for sets, akula, the rhino thing from the first film, viper wolves, home tree(doubt they’ll do something that big), more RDA sets etc. I didn’t think it would happen as many have said the sets didn’t sell well, I never noticed that near me but they must have done quite well.

2024 line up sounds great and diverse, glad we’re getting space themed sets and I’m always excited about the animal sets, especially the baby cow (calf) shed! Just hope we get a cow too, I’m still waiting for an adult friends zebra to go with the foal we got some time ago!

Great, detailed set. The Bambi figure is lovely, it only makes me want a Bambi set even more though! I wonder if we’ll ever get a bambi, lion king or jungle book minifigure scale set in the future.
