Here is my review on LEGO Friends 42612 Cat Playground Adventure: THE GOOD: New Chonky Cat =) Surprise action feature with a unique print for cat litter! THE NOT SO GOOD: none given the target of this set. It wasn't my intention to buy this but then I noticed the new chonky cat variant, with a 25% off discount, why not? Given the size of the set , I wasn't having any expectation in terms of details or building experience. But I did get a nice surprise with the play feature designed. Never would have thought they have a cat litter print for this, typically it would be sticker. With some very nice parts included in this set, I can say I ended up being quite happy with it. And the new cat is great! Definitely recommended if you looking for new cat variant and some good part! Also it's nice addition to the Pet Hotel last year.

Here is my review on LEGO Friends 42615 Pet Adoption Day: THE GOOD: New Green Mohawk and White long straight hair, plus some cool new outfits for minidolls. Unique environment for each of stand for the corresponding pets/animal. 5 very cute animals included THE NOT SO GOOD: High RRP in my region. First, this is not a set targeting adult, so I reviewed this set with this in mind. Seeing a 25% discount, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get some excellent new hair pieces instead of waiting for them to be available from PAB. Originally, I did feel the set overly simple and expecting a repetitive building experience before building it, but in the end I ended up quite like the set. Yes, it does not change the fact the set is very simple but it has very nice colours. I also see this as the Iron Man Armoury of Friends. Because each of the pet stand has an identical base with different colours & set up for the respective pets. The unique environment while being simple, it does fit the corresponding animals. All the 6 animals are cute, my favourite is definitely the hedgehog. With minidolls all have great new outfit and new uniqued hair pieces like the green mohawk, it's a great parts pack for adult and going to be fun entry set for kids. Now, I have to admit, regardless of the positives, I probably will still wait for PAB if I was not able to get a discount as the RRP here in NZ is $65 which is quite high. Otherwise it's a good entry level friends set I would recommend for a try if the price is right!

Here is my review on LEGO Friends 42606 Mobile Bakery Food Cart: THE GOOD: Surprisingly detailed food card with coffee machine, cookie jar and salad bar. Very cute Croissant mascot. THE NOT SO GOOD: none. Another nice small sent from LEGO friends. At the lowest price in range, there are really nothing to hate about this set. In fact, the mobile bakery food cart is surprisingly detailed given its size. You have coffee machine, salad bar and cookie jar. With a good selection of menu stickers, it's a very good addition to any LEGO city even you are not into friends. With a very cute Croissant mascot (I think this mascot has been referenced in other friends sets stickers too), and uncommon variant of minindolls, I would totally recommend this set to everyone. The only wish I have is I wish the face of the mascot is printed! Since LEGO decided to have a printed cat litter tile, why not this face too lol

Here is my review on LEGO Friends 42639 Andrea's Modern Mansion: THE GOOD: It looks absolutely beautiful, the exterior design is just so good. The use of colours is great and well balanced. The swimming pool, the jacuzzi, the waterfall are all great! Lots of nice furniture builds and the piano might be the best music instruments build in this scale! THE NOT SO GOOD: none to be honest, most of the points I'm going to raise are nip picking. Expensive and LEGO stores exclusives, so unlikely to get discount. The sports car suspension is too low, the front bumper touching the ground when getting out from the garage lol I can confidently say, this may be the best looking LEGO friends set ever! or to some extent the best looking house across all themes. Been impressed since the image was leaked and it really did not disappoint. The exterior just looks stunning. It's a big set but not really massive and just the right size of any shelf display. Great use of colours across the mansion and I love how it stands out with different architectural design compared to a lot of other sets. This makes the building experience refreshing. Whether is the user of colourful garage door tiles for the colourful shades or use of curves for the central pillar, it's great. The cool thing with the shades is that it also look great if you look out from the inside from one of the windows. The central pillar have curved windows to show you the elevator, which I first experience the same technique to build a working elevator from the Monkie Megapolis City. This took it to another level with the elevator going down to the pool with a curved blue transparent piece. With the roof garden, a great swimming pool, an outdoor jacuzzi and a very very lovely looking water fall, the exterior is a 10/10. Now this set also have very spacious and detailed interiors full of full and detailed furnitures build. For example, different types of bed, very cool looking lamp and probably one of the best piano build in this scale ever! With a recording studio at the ground level hidden with a double bed underneath the pool. Plus a garage let you push the car out. One thing to note is I really like the flooring desing on the corridor of the 3rd floor with a new (i believe so since I haven't exp it before) element to create a really nice pattern. Regarding the sports car, it's actually build more like the 6 studs wide speed champion car than your typical lego cars. With 10 minidolls included, it doesn't just look great but also very lively. It's hard for me to find something not good about this, except probably the high entry price for this and the exclusivity which makes it hard to find a large discount. Other than that, I could point out the car suspension being too low & may be the elevator doesn't have doors and with considerable gap which could be deadly if it's a FINAL DESTINATION situation XD. Definitely a set to recommend and can't wait to see the next Friends set =)

Here is my review on LEGO Friends 42618 Heartlake City Café: THE GOOD: From the front, it looks great with interesting new ways to build various part of the cafe. An interior that replicate a modern cafe well with some very detailed kitchen set up. Goes well with 42606 Mobile Bakery Food Cart. THE NOT SO GOOD: I wish it has a roof. Missed opportunity to be able to integrate with the Heartlake City Community series. I own 42606 Mobile Bakery Food Cart, when this set is announced I immediately noticed the logo and thought this one looks nice. And this set does looks nice indeed. It's a corner type small building with an interesting colour pallet. The exterior featuring some refreshing use to pieces that often only utilised in a more castle setting. And mixing with the windows makes this look very good exterior wise. It also features some of the more interesting ways to place tiles despite it limited space and the angles entrance. The Interior is also very detailed. It really captures the vibes of modern cafes. But I'm more impressed with all the little builds at the counter & kitchen. The contact less payment machine is really cool. This set also comes with a scooter with a new colour. Minidolls come with a new head gear, beanie with hair exposed which recently has a new colour variant from the JAWS set. Beatriz also features the same uniform in 42606, and this really enhance the value of this set as now the small set can play a bigger part now. The only thing I wish LEGO could have done is having an actual roof. I know it's to enhance playability and keep the set at certain price point but still it would be nice to have a roof. The other thought I have was, it will be even greater if this can also integrate with the Heartlake City Community Kitchen and Centre, but then again by doing that could have shoot the price of this set up. I got this set with 20% off which made it a very good deal and the set is actually pretty good if you want something fun and look nice but not perfect.

Here is my review on LEGO Friends 41747 Heartlake City Community Kitchen: THE GOOD: Fun build with lots of details. Looking good. Loving the interior builds really reflecting a commercial kitchen. Work both standalone & as an expansion of the Heartlake City Community Center. THE NOT SO GOOD: RRP is very overpriced. A very good looking set with some authentic looking commercial kitchen details. I've really enjoy building this. The foot path, the exterior and interior. Best build is the cook top, then closely followed by the sink. And how these incorporated into the interior is very smart too. The overall build also feature interesting techniques and designs though out. While one of the sell point is being an expansion to the Heartlake City community center, this set itself also work standalone. There are so much to like this set except for the price! In New Zealand, the RRP is $130 NZD, which is ridiculous considering the size of this. Luckily I bought this with a discount. And if you are keen to combine this with the community center, the total cost with. be competing with most of the D2C sets. Fortunately, it's not difficult to get some reasonable discount on this set. A very good set recommend to everyone if you are able to get a reasonable discount on this.

My daughter and I are building a Horse Show layout, featuring many of the Lego Friends horse-related sets from the last few years. We've been documenting it on our YouTube channel. I thought you might like to see the main house from our latest video update. Full details of both the inside and outside are in the video. Thanks for reading the post. We are very keen to get people's opinion and comments on the building and layout. So any comments on this forum or on YouTube would be welcomed. Thanks, Mike
