That's an enjoyable office, despite of the blue screen. The computer is a very realistic model of the old types, that took more than half of your desk. Other than that, the blinds are amazing as well. It's a great design and looks very 'smart'. Well done!

Great and incredibly detailed interiors! Amazing work! My favourite are the spiral stairs and the 'cheasy' carpet, but the armchairs, paintings, mirror, etc. are wonderfull as well. The interiors looks crowded at first sight, but altogether it's just great. It fits in nicely and adds life to it!

The building(s) look(s) great. I like the concept of a whole block, combined into a huge structure with different architectural styles and colour. Well done! Can it be combined with Downtown Metro?

Here's my friendsified avatar. It's a rendition of my profile picture - a female minifig enchanted obsessed by PAB wall. Here, I included a Friends minidoll in front of a PAB wall with colours common to Friends' sets (unfortunately only those 19 colours that came as 1x1 round plates). Being more experienced than at the time of my previous vignette (a PAB wall), the minidoll came prepared (hence the baskets instead of the cups ).

That's a great building full of interesting details. The interiors is just as interesting (or even more than) as the exteriors. Good luck at the competion with many great entries!

That's a great mansion with many interesting architectural details. The colour scheme is nice and fits the modular's line pretty nicely. Well done! As it looks, the competion will be tough one, so good luck!

Great work! Despite the change of business for Ollivander, he seems to be doing well if he can afford 'renting' a lovely corner building. I like how you used a design inspired by the 'official' Ollivander's and still made a unique building. Good luck in the competiotion! It's going to be a tough one!

That's a really nice modular and it fits in perfectly with FB and GG. The colours are great and so is the theme chosen. The facade is full of interestin details. As others have said: 'Hats off to you!' and all the best in the competion.

The arch looks great! And the tiling work is amazing as well. The round 1x1 tiles fit really nicely. As usual, I'm looking forward to more pictures.

Caparica, this is a really nice little park! Well done. It has everything, trees, flowers, bushes, sitting area, etc. I also like that you included some of the Friends 'parts', as it gives extra colour to the creation. Good luck in the competition!

Having a ZOO theme would be fantastic. I prefer the animals to look more realistic (the Friends rabbit is too cute ). My top five would be turtles, deer, sheep, pigeon and lobster (as I'm a townie more or less).

Thanks for this great review. This is definitely ma favourite set of the so far released summer sets, and I already go two of them! The great details, the bedroom design, the drums, and sheet notes with an actual tune, and then there's the radio, and the oversized book (I remember having a coloring book in about the same size when I was little). In addition to all these details, having a musician - a drum player is fantastic.

These houses are amazing! It's not just the colours, it's the similar, yet differently detailed design that made me look at them more than twice in search of interesting designs. I like the way you included minidolls, they do fit in. My favourite details are the basketball, the dog on top of the stairs and the red car in front of the blue house. These details add so much life to the district.Congratulations on this amazing build!

Thanks for the nice review. The set looks nice, although I'm not convinced on actually buying it. Most definitely, there are some features, such as the horse jumps that really add to playability. For the time being, I have to think it through as the set never came even close to my wish list, although it looks interesting enough from your review.

That's a nice house there. I like the colour combination, it look perfect for the mansion. And sand green and gray combination fits nicely with black roofs and brown wood on the house. I never thought I'd like it so much, it's not what I expected. The only down point for me are the minifigs, as I don't see any use for them. All in all, it's a great set!

That's a great garden. It actually looks sort of secret and definitely private, which is a plus for the owner. As it has everything one needs, it's just sweet and perfect. Good luck in the contest!

That's a nice build. I like how you positioned the cabin on a brick-build base.

Your mini-modular looks great and put together with the official ones, it fits right in. My favourite is definitely the rotating door. How did you do it? I'm guessing a turntable and trans-clear panel (1x2) or even a glass (1x2). Well done!

That's a great addition to town. I like how you created the cemetery, looking slightly forgoten. The back pavement looks great (I'm using similar style in another MOC), and the tumb stones with fish details are great. Good luck in the contest.

This sounds like a great idea. I sure hope to be able to join in, as I'm up to my neck (and higher) with work these last few weeks.

That's a nice MOC. I like the way you presented the minifig as actively recycling. I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems recycling cardboard and paper.

Surprisingly, I'm the first to start with the summer wave of Friends sets. Having a rather bad day yesterday, I treated myself with a bike ride to the city center to visit the library (picking up some tourist guides for the summer) and being in the vicinity of a toy store, I had to make another stop there. Luckily, there were some summer wave sets out on shelves, but only a few. Actually, in addition to 3184, there were only 3 of them (1 box of each), and all were Friends (3063, 3186, 3189). Admittingly, I only bought this one. Set number: 3184 Name: Adventure Camper Theme: Friends Year: 2012 Minigifures: 2 Pieces: 322 (counted from the instruction booklet) + 13 extra // 309 from Brickset Price: 29,90 EUR. To start with the box, it's a standard dimension for a set of this size, meaning that you can see empty space upon opening the box. Front of the box is decorated by now already standard Friends design and has curved edges. Similarly, the back of the box offers some sneek-peaks at numerous play possibilities of the set and advertises other Friends sets. Whereas a close-up of one part of the back of the box shows that the build is divided into three steps with numbered bags, and some goodies of the set - a yellow basket, medium azure surfboard, and the red kitchen utensils,... ...the other part of the back of the box shows one rather dissapointing detail - Friends figures can't really ride a bicycle (more on it later). Nevertheless, the new medium azure bicycle is welcomed anyway. At this point I should mention, that little girls likely won't mind about this 'problem', whereas the big girls (me included) probably feel a bit dissapointed. Side of the box shows the two minifigures included, Olivia and Nicole, with some of the accesories. Already on this picture, it is clear that the surfboard is decorated with stickers. In reality, the minifigures look the same as on the box. Olivia (on the right side) is one of the five main characters, and in this set, she got to keep the same shirt and skirt design seen in 3315. At least some colour variation design would be welcomed. On the other hand, Nicole is introduced in this set. She has a tanner complexion than Olivia, wears an old skirt design (seen in 3061), but she was treated with a new torso design - a yellow shirt with Hawaiian flower print and partly open back. And no pink this time! The contents of the set can be seen here. There are two instruction booklets, three numbered bags, a sticker sheet, and a caravan baseplate. To focus on the sticker sheet, it is quite nice, and I used all but one of the stickers. Although I'd prefer printed parts, these stickers add some special design to the set. The large yellow ones form the 'textile' of the car seats, and the blue ones are surfboard decorations. In addition to this, only two car licence plates are included, and another sticker shows some sports surfing channel on TV. Again, it is great to see that none of the stickers is to be applied on more than one brick. Contents of the bag 1 show a selection of multiple colours common to all Friends sets. There are many plates and tiles incldued, and much less bricks. The parts of interest are the red kitchen utensils, a yellow basket, an 'orange juice' brick and definetly the medium azure bicycle. First to build is a large grill. In comparison to other grill designs appearing in different LEGO sets, this one looks rather poor. It has two clips attached to hold some of the most useful utensil for grilling, but then there's some greenery attached to it in a rather unusual way. I'm not a cooking/grilling expert, but I don't see what this should be. I'm only sure it's a bit too big to be some sort of spice, and it's definitely too close to heated grills. A nice addition is a container, storing extra set of forks and knives. The grill is followed by a picnic table with benches. Although the benches are tiled, the minifigs sit nicely on them (without a chance of falling off). While the chicken wing is still on the grill, there are some starters on the table. Being in the shape of cupcake holder, they're probably some sweets Olivia and Nicole brought along on this adventure camping. A nice addition is the orange juice and the pink cups (last seen in a set in this colour in 1998). The third build from bag 1 is a trailer. The lime/pink colour combination is definitely not my favourite, but it's in style with other Friends set. A nice (and playable) details is the moving latch on the back of the trailer to ease the loading of the bicycles. Also, a stickered license plate (with a heart, ofcourse) is included on the latch. Another great detail is the bar with a clip to allow a more horizontal position of the trailer when it's not attached to the caravan. A different angle look of the trailer reveals one of the weak spots of the set. The wheels 'stick out' from the sides of the trailer too much, making the trailer almost 10 studs wide. In comparison to the camper's 6 studs width, the trailer looks a bit out of scale. Again, I'm not an expert on cars/trailers either, so perhaps this is the way it should be. Completing bag 1, bag 2 is a logical next step. Brick selection is similar to bag 1, there are mainly plates, a bit more bricks, and less tiles. The colours are common to Friends, and consist of lots of lime, yellow, white, gray and dark pink. Considering the mix of these colours, the finished model doesn't even look too colourful. Worth mentioning is a new piece that I came across for the first time in this set. It's a new bracket 1x2-1x2 inverted, and it's exclusive to 2012's sets. For the time being, this new bracket comes in dark bluish gray only, and looks as a very useful SNOT brick. Bag 2 allows us to build the bottom part of the caravan. In the front of the caravan, there's a split panel allowing for fixing siting minifigs behind the wheel. The car seat has a nice textile pattern, although only 'stickered'. The same textile pattern is repeated in the back of the car. The back of the caravan holds a secret storing area for hiding some of the kichten utensils. The back of the caravan reveals a use of the new brackets for SNOTing up the license plate and the tail lights. Bag 3 continues the building of the caravan. The majority of the bricks is white, pink or lime. Here, a medium azure surfboard sticks out. Even without the stickers it looks a great addition to any of the sports store in your city. There's another newer brick included - a hinge plate 2x2 locking with 1 finger on top. It's available in 9 sets since 2011, and in white from 2012. The finishing steps of building the caravan are similar to the rest of the set. It's a simple build including some 'moving' details. The side and the top of the caravan are attached on hinges, allowing easy access to the interiors of the caravan. In this way, the adventure caravan resembles the 7639 Camper from 2009. A very distinguishing feature of them is the pink/lime colour scheme of the Friends camper and white/lime of the City camper. Also, both use the same piece for the front of the camper, whereas the roof design is different. This camper has an asymetrically built roof, which is clearly not seen from the official pictures as they are always taken from the better looking left side. The caravan from the back right side reveals some flaws of the models. To accomodate hinged left side, there is a visible corner 'cut off' from the back and the roof is sticking out on that side. To make up for these, there's a stud to attach the surfboard on. Also, the right side looks fine. The only uncertainty I have is the tap on the side, most likely to be a water tap. There are two more comments from my side on minifigures anatomy. It's probably still a hot topic to some, but for me, I mainly see them as not completely 'evolved'. One thing is that they are able to sit shoulder to shoulder in the front of the car, but their arms are overlapping, so I have no idea how they manage to drive the caravan. Well, in a way that's not such a problem, as they can't reach the steering wheel anyway. The other things about this minifigures is that they can't really ride a bicycle. Their hands can't hold the bicycle, and the longer legs aren't a plus either as they appear to be too tall for the bicycle. As seen here, there's a gap between the mnifigures 'bottom' and the bicycle 'seat'. Maybe they should get bigger bicycles. However, these are probably some details that the target audience (6-12) likely won't mind about. To finish this rather lengthy review, another view of the set showing a nice camping scene. And the concluding remarks on some of the more interesting aspects of the set. Brick-wise, there are not many bricks of special interest included. The highlights are definitely the medium azure bicycle, red kitchen utensils, the 'juice' brick and yellow basket. Other inlcuded bricks are more common both colour and type-wise. Despite the new interesting pieces, the brick selection is not overwhelming. The minifigures included have only one new printed torso, and in general not being a fan of this type of minifigures, I strongly feel new torso/leg designs could be included. The overall design is strongly in favour of extra playability, but has some flaws in the build itself. Obviously the designers were trying to come up with a new camper design, different from the 2009-City one. This way, the built caravan gives an impression of partially finished model and offers some space for improvement. Nevertheless, target audience likely is not as peaky as slightly older, and the playability options surely prevail in favour of the build. Altogether, this set is a nice addition to the Friends series.

Nice work, my favourite thing about it is being a 'monchrome'. The use of different pieces to make a more detailed facade really stands out this way. Good luck in the competition!

You did a great LEGO replica of the shopping center! It looks great, the choice of colours goes well together. Letters are perfect, and make the model even more realistic. All together, the simple, tiled design shows off a small shopping center that could easily fit in any town. Well, I'd prefer to buy something other than the rabbit costume.

This is some nice work here. I like the round walls of windmill, and the watermill is great as well. I like how you added details to landscape as well to give more life to the creations.
