Lyichir Posted January 1 The fact that they're featuring Ley-la so heavily is fun, though I'll admit I'm less drawn to those sets in part because I feel like the color scheme is less appealing to me than the much simpler color scheme of the 2015 Pop Star sets. Which I realize were now 9 whole years ago... dang. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted January 1 (edited) The Ley-la doll in 42619: Pop Star Music Tour Bus is great (better colors and face expression compared to the Talent Show set), too bad the set itself doesn't look interesting to me at all (compared to already owning Popup Party Bus, and Vidiyo Boom Box stages) Edited January 1 by TeriXeri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Garfio Posted January 1 The GWP (two polybags) for buying the Andrea's mansion is ridiculous I wait for a big discount and double points instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I went with the Monkie Kid Megapolis set instead (since unlike the Friends set I can't buy that in-store during a better sale). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karrit Posted January 2 Both of the polybags being offered as Gwp for buying the Andrea's Mansion set are available for purchase from Target in the US. Since the mansion isn’t on my wishlist & I already have several copies of the polybag with the Otter I'll just grab one or two of the Flower Garden from Target.

I don't know about leaks, but we'll probably get a full list in February-ish when toy fair season gets up and running (even though Lego doesn't generally show off as much as they used to, I think they do still at least release set lists for retailers).

SOckzz Posted January 19 Alrighty, I've acquired the Diner, swell build actually.. took me longer than expected but thats probably because I panicked over not being able to find a piece that wasn't even the one I read in the instructions lol (don't have pictures, they were too big apparently 😅) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeriXeri Posted January 20 Castle Friends ? that's going to be fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted January 22 (edited) There seems to be more sets, filling gaps between set numbers. 42602 Space Research Rover 514 pc (April ?) 42618 Heartlake City Cafe 426 pc $29.99 (Summer) 42625 Beach Smoothie Stand 213 pc $19.99 (Summer) Also different sets names , like Archery Range, and Castle Bed and Breakfast. A Castle with Friends interior (bedrooms and dining room I assume) does still sound interesting , I do hope the exterior isn't too colorful but actually Castle like.

Amazing! hopefully it includes adult Olivia in a much cheaper set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lemerbrix Posted January 23 Thanks to a promo video for Andrea’s modern mansion, we have our first look at the cafe! sadly, it features cursed croissant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted January 23 (edited) That looks quite nice, for a cafe / bakery, reminds me of some of the Creator 3-in-1 alternate builds , just with a different color scheme. (mainly the bakery build from 31105: Townhouse Toy Store with the pillars and awning combo) Same logo as 42606: Mobile Bakery Food Cart , which is consistent. Creator or Friends are really saving the day for City which lacks good bakeries imo, there was this City Donut Shop (duke detain's first appearance), or Bakery in that shopping street (road plates 1st year) but Friends or 3-in-1 just have more charm compared to those simpler , back then, City builds (which I did not get at the time as the sets were packed with vehicles taking like 30-40% of the set content) I mean, 41723: Donut Shop was a 4+ Friends set but for 63 pieces, still very nice starting point for a donut shop build, and 2 dolls, a bird , a unique donut dish print, and unique color of vespa scooter, and those hollow 2x2 printed donut tiles first seen in the 20x more expensive Police Station modular.
