Klaus-Dieter Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Thank you very much for this information, Sir von Lego! I've got three questions: 1. Is Emma's Cafe Of Arts about the same size like the cafe from 2015? 2. Is the House Of Friendship some sort of youth center (where youngsters meet) with games like table kicker, billiard etc. and is it about the size of the 2017 training center? 3. And how big is the Kiosk? Edited July 18, 2017 by Klaus-Dieter spelling mistake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sousmarineuse Posted July 18, 2017 Yes, thank you very much about all of this! Very interesting with tree house, van ( and tent), and kiosk and cafe. I don't know what to think about the playhouse. Need to see picture. But IMO it seems to be a good wave! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sousmarineuse Posted July 19, 2017 Kiosk of arts: I hope for some music Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted July 19, 2017 Very hard to say. Arts imo could be music or paintings. Since the kiosk presumably will be the smaller set, I more guess that the cafe will have a small music stage and in the kiosk there are paintings sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger of Bricks Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) This is getting exhausting! Again, Instagram user lego_peru has prelims up of four 2018 sets for Friends, including a very nice camper in White, Lime Green, and Dark Azure I think.

Digger of Bricks Posted August 25, 2017 There are images of five more 2018 sets on Instagram for the theme, which include... 41330 Stephanie's Sports Park, 41332 Emma's Art Stand, 41333 "HLC Vehicle" (not final name likely), 41334 Andrea's Performance Park, and 41335 Mia's Tree House.

cebelicamya Posted August 29, 2017 Where can I see photos? Are there 2 pages? I 've seen the page where house of friendship is on the left side and on the right side is camper van.

I 've seen the page where house of friendship is on the left side and on the right side is camper van. Yeah, there are two pages, but I'm not sure where to find the image now. It was one of the last leaks posted by a particular Instagram user before it was pulled, and I just checked both Reddit and YouTube but to no avail. Everyone was all over all the other big name leaks such as Star Wars, DC Comics, City, etc; but I know, there was not much discussion nor coverage of leaks of themes such as Friends and Creator.

Gobias1234 Posted August 31, 2017 I did notice there are two male characters and I read the fine print that Friends is undergoing a brand reboot. I hope that means that there will be some more characters. We have like..409848 Mias! The play features seem more in line with the other action series' sets... talking specifically about the tree house. It looks like maybe the bedrooms are companion sets to the house of friendship? They look fairly small as well...wonder if they are taking the place of the <$15 animal sets/subtheme? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofdragonss Posted September 1, 2017 Ehh... We are never going to get Mia house right? :P I really like the rooms actualy - they are great way to get good furniture! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alsielou Posted September 1, 2017 A brand reboot? That's an interesting idea - I wonder what it means? That they will change all the characters? Or turn them back into minifigures? Change the colour schemes? Why would they change anything? I thought Friends was now one of the top three best selling themes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoAndDisney Posted September 1, 2017 I'm excited for the Friendship house. I love the Lego Friends houses, so this is a welcome addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyichir Posted September 2, 2017 I wonder if the "brand reboot" thing might have more to do with the media than with the sets themselves. I'd love to see them move away from the CGI style they've used for all the webisodes so far, which I've never found very appealing. I do hope they stick with the core group of Friends, since I love a theme that sticks with its main characters. Have the Friends characters ever been released with different facial expressions? That would be a way to add variety without abandoning the existing main characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger of Bricks Posted September 2, 2017 This is slightly related speculation, but I wonder if we will ever see TLG tweak the current minidoll in the near future for additional articulation, particularly next year. Why? Well I'm wondering if this will be necessary if we were ever to see minidoll characters make an appearance in 2019's The Lego Movie 2. This seems to me to be highly possible given what we know about the major role Finn's sister plays in the sequel. It just would be awkward to see minidolls animated within the confines of the established rules for motion of characters in the cinematic movies done so far. But then again, WB could just cheat with the animation irrespective of the actual physical product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then again, WB could just cheat with the animation irrespective of the actual physical product. I have been thinking this too... I don't think the mindolls will change... I have always wondered why they were taller though...seems to make a lot more sense to have the figs/dolls the same height. I think there is a lot of potential in Finn and his sister embracing each other's Lego and their forces uniting! In my house they coexist peacefully though with no issue ? The reboot did reference tv tie ins. I wonder what will change about the show! I'm guessing more adventures and activities beyond rescuing animals. The tree house had a zip line feature and a water gun... Looks super fun. I'm not hoping they move away from the core group...just add to them! Maybe at least change up their outfits every year like they do in the elves line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klaus-Dieter Posted October 23, 2017 Here's some additional (preliminary) info: There will be a new flower piece in pink. The 28573 bracelet upper part will get a new mold with five (instead of four) pieces standing out - which is imo a peeve for thoese who ordered a lot of the "old" pieces in order to make flowerbeds. Plus there'll be a part which resembles a 180° leaf for under that kind of small flowers, looking realistic and really cool. The cafe is set on a 16x16 plate and is a corner building. It uses the new frame from 2017. The interior might be nice. Plus there's a small 8x8 terrace with a small roof. In this set as well as in others, there'll be a white cup with I"heart"HLC printing on it - a nice detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cebelicamya Posted October 24, 2017 How did you see that from the preliminary pictures? ?When the preliminary pics came out I saved them on my ipad and they are all blurry, i can recognize the buildings but when i zoom in, can't really see the small pieces very clear. You have a good eye or I don't have the same pictures. ? Would love to see those! From your description flowerbeds and leaf part sound really cool.

FortNerd Posted October 27, 2017 Did Lego ever release a male Friends character in formalwear? Is there a chance one would be released in the next wave? I could really use one for my MOC idea, but currently the best thing available is Mia's tux from 41001. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
