    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?

    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!

    We have a small glimpse of a 4+ set! It’s not on instagram to my knowledge, but you can see it in just2good’s latest video

    looks like it includes Gabriella from the dog rescue center! It’s one of the farm vet sets, that’s all I can tell!

    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.

    The blurry box pictures of the community centre confirm the blonde woman is Stephanie, also, Mia is in one of the 4+ sets!

    Ah perfect, the designers did say she would have a surprising role, perhaps a mayoral kind of role? I can’t believe how lovely the community centre looks and even more so when you attach the community kitchen set.

    On first glance, these a great especially the community centre and botanical gardens. Does anyone think the blonde woman in the community centre looks a lot like a grown up Stephanie would? I’m loving the inclusion of older characters, great mobility scooter built for a minidoll. Slightly disappointed with the sea rescue sets and sea animal molds, preferred the last wave but there’s still some good stuff there.

    The 13 minidoll 43215 has been leaked by a Korean website. That’s a lot of princesses. Kinda disappointed at the lack of Merida and Snow White as they’re now the only 2 princesses missing in the new style (assuming the Ariel’s castle is a minidoll set - and her absence here I think strengthens that idea). But fun to see the random other 3 characters.

    Still; I would’ve swapped out Alice and Wendy for Merida and Snow White. Tinker Bell makes a bit more sense as a kind of mascot. Wendy’s new hair is lovely though.

    and yay for finally Pocahontas, I knew that accessory pin-hole in her CMF hair was a good sign

    Thanks for the info. As a minidoll only collector I think this is a great set and will be snapped up by kids, it’s got a great aesthetic with the colour scheme and crystallized rocks, even reminds me of the good old days of elves. I think the minidoll line up is great, I really don’t like the new faces, they kind of remind me of a shocked my little pony with the big eyes but I think it’s the mouth, which really throws a lot of them off. Having said that, I think the Pocahontas face print is great as they’ve toned the eyes down and the mouth is normal, and actually looks more like Pocahontas in the film than the minidoll that never got released in the ultimate Disney princess celebration image. I also like the face print on tinker bell (surprised they included her but glad they did) and love the style of her in minidoll form. I’m impressed with the minidolls for Wendy and Alice and think they’re a great inclusion (however my opinion maybe biased as I have no intention of collecting minidolls we already have in the new style) just don’t like the faces although it suits Alice’s minidoll more. All in all great set, the price is high like all Disney princess sets but at least you’re getting all them minidolls and a good looking build.

    Looking forward to seeing if the 2023 friends will be in the April issue

    Oddly, aria is exclusive to Aliyas room, only pet to only be in a room and nowhere else

    I was in sainsburys today, and looked at the new magazine. Next issue is still the old friends and a poodle for the next gift, unfortunately, I really thought we’d get it next issue :-( Usually though it was an animal one issue and a normal build the other issue, so perhaps they’re getting rid of excess stock and it’ll be soon- that might be wishful thinking though!
