Would be nice to spruce up the Santa's Workshop reindeer. EDIT: never mind, it looks like a different part to that used in the Workshop set. Other than that, will definitley try and recreate some of the builds from this, and cross fingers the City one is just as good! For what it's worth, the antler pieces from Santa's Workshop (or earlier versions of them) have been available in Pearl Gold/Warm Gold since 2006, in over 30 sets! 2006–2008 version: https://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-4498544 2011–2018 version: https://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-6006741 At BrickLink, they're readily available for under 10 cents apiece!

sunhuntin Posted April 27, 2018 Thanks, will have a look next time I order from Bricklink. It had never occured to me to fancy them up before. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted May 3, 2018 Just noticed that the big screen in the Drifting Diner doubles as a phone/device stand so you can use it to play real videos. Pretty clever touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, I hadn't noticed this before, but apparently the GoKart sets have introduced a new helmet piece with an attached ponytail. Now I'm looking forwards to seeing how they will work on minifigures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a better picture of just helmet part so we can see ponytail mould better? But will definitely add it to my hair pieces list.

LegoModularFan Posted May 10, 2018 That's a nice looking set! I like the mini builds a lot! 5 hours ago, Digger of Bricks said: Say, is a Sky-Fi subtheme for Friends perhaps on the horizon? Why not?!

That seems an obvious and unnecessary call out, unless there is some functionality linked to the prop rotation. Any thoughts? Arrows and other "chalk markings" just seem to be part of the design language for this year's LEGO Friends box art. Compare with the spiral arrow on the fire pole, straight arrow on the winch, and double arrow on the garage door from the Friendship House box. Together with the other "doodles" on the box art it gives them sort of a arts-and-crafts/d.i.y. flavor. The GoldieBlox building sets, which a lot of critics of LEGO Friends seemed to respond more favorably to, have had a sort of similar marketing approach, even though the toys themselves are usually more focused on abstract contraptions similar to K'nex or Tinkertoy, and less on playable scenes that imitate real life. I love how beautiful the biplane in this set is! The airport scenery is also pretty swell. I wonder when we'll start seeing pics of the Spinning Brushes Car Wash?

Fenghuang0296 Posted May 13, 2018 We now have high-quality images of all of the summer wave! . . Except that biplane one. That's news to me. http://www.ibrickcity.com/lego-friends-summer-sets/ 41349 Karting Snack is definitely a standout in my opinion. 41348 Service Truck is pretty cute too, certainly something I want to consider getting to sit on my streets. (Full props for the dark azure/white colour scheme.) I also like the stained-glass arches adorning the roof on 41344 Andrea's Accessory Store, as well as the stickers on the windows, and that lovely-looking teal wig.

I don't know why they added the arrows, but they are oriented the wrong way. If the prop would rotate clockwise, the plane would move backward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofdragonss Posted May 22, 2018 I just wanted to point out the Friends calender will not sell well because it has no figs. Maybe I will get it cheaper then, because for right price it will be a great part pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My young girl is kind of these mini print base plates, easy way to build her own house or castle (the frozen one is the most beautiful in my opinion ;)). About the friends calendar, so do I. I'm not a big fan of these kind of calendar. I prefer 24 mini things to build a big one at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
