April 8, 20213 yr Hmm the new cubes have already been retired in Australia. That’s really weird considering there are no April release of the cubes this year. Maybe they’re keeping the shorter shelf life just to be consistent? If the new cubes come out in June are retired in September maybe that means we can get the winter cubes? 14 hours ago, Mooch said: I saw this list on another site for the summer sets, is it legit?

April 15, 20213 yr I always wanted the last hotel but never found it on sale. I'm currently building 41379, the Restaurant from a few years back. It's a very un Friends like building. But there is a 6x8 junk of it where the stairs are that's completely wasted space. I'm going to have to redo that.

Makes sense that he's hanging out with Mia but you've got to feel for poor Stephanie. It will be interesting to see how they replicate his hair piece.

The prelims have him using the Sleepyhead hair, but that’s the same hair for Ethan so I doubt they’ll use that. :SÂ

I'm honestly really happy that LEGO has been introducing more Afro-textured hair pieces like this in recent years. Even if the options they currently have aren't perfect for representing all hairstyles like River's "fade", they are a LOT more accurate than if LEGO's options were still limited to pieces originally designed to represent straight hair, like the Sleepyhead hair piece. And the number of new options in just the past few years gives me a lot of hope that this variety will continue to expand in the future!
April 30, 20213 yr This discussion is pretty dead saying that all the pics have been released! All a bit meh apart from the hotel, in my opinion, and even that will have to wait until there’s interior photos.Â
May 1, 20213 yr All the pictures have been released? I have only seen 4 sets? My problem with the hotel is is the dual pale purple/pink colors. Should have just picked one. I do love the new building style for the pine trees.
May 1, 20213 yr The circus sets can be seen here; http://www.terminalvideo.com/ricerca?src=1&q=LEGO+friends+magic+&dir=5&nav=1 They aren’t on the Dutch site everyone else is linking too. :)
May 1, 20213 yr Thank you! Those sets have perfect colors, love the new peg hat the owl has, but probably won't pick any of them up. Looks like this year I'll be saving a lot of money.
May 1, 20213 yr I like the tree design, and yet again another Camper Van with nods with a VW Surfbus, which isn't a bad thing as it's a well known "Camper Van" in the real world, and a recurring design in LEGO vans. Overall, the Forest sets look they will go really well together and not just the trees, the colors just work very well. Edited May 1, 20213 yr by TeriXeri
May 1, 20213 yr Big fan of the minidolls in the caravan set - the face printing looks almost "Elves". Stella looks interesting too from this perspective. I like the magic theme coming in - a bit different than another "place to buy food" The tree house doesn't look different enough for me. The Hotel looks interesting, but it will be one that I'd only buy if I saw a really good deal on it rather than a day one set.Â

I loved the waterfalls in the Alpaca mountain and the tiger rescue set. Though I appreciate we've had more of those with the Flower Fruit Mountain from Monkiekid. Campervan looked more interesting when I saw the arial shot.Â
May 1, 20213 yr So the small horse got an update it looks like, with the removeable back piece, and I assume dual moulded hair color , great for minidoll kids to ride I suppose. That makes a total of 4 big, 2 small horses this year in 3 sets. Now I also hope minifig horses get some more attention in the future, with the mould still being used for a set like Medieval Blacksmith.

Yep! It'd also be great for making pegasus foals using small wing pieces like the ones from the Legends of Chima or Super Mario sets. This mold first appeared in one of the Disney Storybook sets as a microscale version of the Nokk from Frozen 2, and it's great to see it in more "normal" horse colors. That said, I'm surprised that the Horse Training and Trailer set still uses the old foal mold but the new horse mold. If it's any help, this page has a lot of the new set pictures, including some of the ones Brickset doesn't have yet: https://heartlaketimes.blogspot.com/2021/04/summer-2021-friends-sets.html The new school and hotel both look very attractive and authentic! I hope we get to see more pictures of the hotel interior soon. The forest sets are also fantastic, from the trees and landscaping to the rustic architecture and adorable raccoons!

May 3, 20213 yr The retail exclusive has been revealed! https://www.brickshop.eu/lego/lego-friends/lego-41693-surfer-beachfront.html?f_theme=21 It looks amazing!Â

May 4, 20213 yr That Surfer Beachfront is indeed quite amazing, the car is quite weak but at least it's not a 4+ big premade chassis so could be changed. I do hope that €99.99 isnt the actual retail price however. Edited May 4, 20213 yr by TeriXeri

The Mickey and Donald Duck set has a rabbit, tan horse and a sheep. The beachfront to me looks like a $60 set. If its $60-70 it's a must have. $100 LEGO can go do things to themselves. But damn LEGO designers, nice job! Pale yellow and light aqua are some of my favorite LEGO colors. Edited May 4, 20213 yr by Maple
May 4, 20213 yr Agree that the price is really steep. I'd be hoping that there is some way to get a discount on that.
May 8, 20213 yr A new little set dropped. 41693 Surfer Beachfront. Honestly love it. The teal and yellow color scheme is very South Florida.  The little waterside palm tree is a nice detail I honestly love the set. The new child body is a bit weird tho. The arms are so stiff, wish they made a smaller head to accompany it because the kid mini dolls look like awkward bobble heads lol Anyways so many interesting recolors of head pieces in this upcoming wave. The builds aren’t the best but a purplish pink ponytail, princess leia hair in aquamarine, Frozen hair bun in red, a lot to see.  As for the rest of the wave. I am so excited for another school. I plan on getting the hidden side and original friends school and using all of them for figures. I may have mixed figure and mini doll settings. But even though I’ve grown to really appreciate the builds for Lego friends, the dolls aren’t always my cup of tea. I love the elves dolls because of the designs but just regular mini dolls in human clothing kind of bore me. The new hotel is also a must have. Besides those 2 large builds and the surfer set the wave is meh.
May 12, 20213 yr Reviews of the summer sets have started to trickle out. I wonder does this mean the Circus sets are actually releasing in June like the other sets and not July like we previously thought? Retailers getting sets almost two months early would be pretty shocking. :P Â Â

Retailers getting sets almost two months early would be pretty shocking. :P They could be releasing in different months in different countries. It isn't all that uncommon for new waves of sets to have slightly different release schedules in different parts of the world — for instance, with stores in Europe getting a wave a month or two earlier or later than stores in North America. But sites reporting on new sets can sometimes be a bit lax in acknowledging these discrepancies between countries.
May 14, 20213 yr Surfer beachfront is on Lego com - £60 in the UK. Much more reasonable than I thought it was going to be!  Looking at the pictures of the horseback riding centre - how can they imply that the minidolls are that articulated? They simply can't do that with their legs surely?
