I hate to revive this thread with a double post, but guys, the new LEGO Friends Summer 2014 sets are finally out in the United States in LEGO Stores! :drool:

So, to start, here's a review of the Jungle Bridge Rescue set from me!

Overall, decent set here! You have two minifigures with exclusive torso prints, some great casting on pieces (i.e. 1x4 tiles/plates in light brown), and a good price- it's $30.

These new Jungle friends sets are going to be awesome with all the MOC fodder parts included in them. I cannot wait!

Oh, no..... Series 6 has a baby seal.... This will mean nothing but trouble on the politically incorrect versions of our layouts.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing! :sweet:

I also took lots of pics and reviewed the next three Jungle sets, which are now at Toys"R"Us stores in the US.

Here are pictures of the sets, since they're three sets, I spoilered the images. Lots of them in there! :blush:

has anyone had any luck tracking down the wave 5 animals in the states? I'm starting to get pretty upset over here. It was 6 months between waves 3 and 4 and is 5 months and counting between 4 and 5. That is way too long for series that are only 3 packs big.

Nope, and it doesn't seem like they'll be out 'til later this month/September 1st. :sad:

The advent calendar is out in some LEGO Stores now!

Of course, here's some photos for those who like photos over video. Spoilered to avoid advent calendar spoilers. :grin:

Looks like Friends is all over the place, continue to look for Series 5, while my daughter is excited about the jungle sets, but she is not sure on the shopping mall, anyone have this yet to give an opinion?

Thanks for the advent calendar review, just2good! :)

I agree with you about Mia's torso. Too bad she is wearing Stephanie's hand-me-down clothes from last year.

By the way, the one you think looks like a meal cover may be a Christmas pudding... Of course it can be anything you want it to be. ;)

Herky, I went to Walmart today and while I didn't see Series 5 animals per se, I saw a sign on a shelf that said "Friends wave 5". It might mean Series 5 animals are showing up pretty soon...?

The shopping mall is really fun to build, but I feel the shops upstairs are a bit too small for play. I love a lot of the things about the mall, but girls who are into fashion might find this mall a bit lacking in some ways... More clothes and hair options would have been nice. Although I'm not too keen on the big mall sign, the overall design is very nice and it was the most fun I ever had building a Friends set.

I'm still contemplating whether or not I'll get the mall- but the Jungle sets are awesome. :classic:

Hm, I didn't think about that! Good thinking, Maya! :classic:

Series 5?! I picked up the series 6 panda in the UK yesterday! I haven't opened it yet but I'm pretty excited for it.

Series 6 is already out in the uk and Scotland? THAT IS NOT FAIR!!! I live in the States and we haven't even gotten series 5 yet! I could understand ya'll getting 6 if series 5 had been out a little while in the states but it hasn't! Except for the fact that the sets have good parts, are cheap, add animals to my collection that isn't' yet another fish or dog or something like that, and look good in my display cabinet; i'd be finding another collectable to pursue instead of the animals since i'm getting fed up with constant waiting.

Series 6 is available in Ireland also. I built all three. The panda and seal are really cute.

It's not fair that the US get Polybags & exclusives at SDCC etc that the rest of the world don't get.
