2022 Friends Rumours, Leaks, Information And Discussion

[TeriXeri]

I do think a reboot like this can be a good thing.

Even while I'm not a long time collector, having new characters is interesting to see after basicly 10 years of the same main cast.

I think it's more interesting compared to re-releasing modernized version of old sets, for example , Paisley's House , Autumn House (assuming 2 characters), instead of a remake of Olivia's House (2012)

Also new side characters, new pets, new hobbies, new dress styles, new use of the expanded skin tones (from 3 to 6 in 2022), etc.

There was a pretty good reboot this year and it worked out great. If they want to do a bigger reboot I'm fine with that.

I am sure the core themes that appear in friends will remain the same (e.g. a lot of people who own, like, play with and care for dogs)

If by reboot we just mean a new rotating cast of characters I guess that is exciting but the theme constantly has new friends and sidekicks so if anything it would just be a change of focus. Soft reboot is a good way to put it.

International school sounds exciting. The recent Emma’s art school was spectacular imo so really stocked to see how this turns out. Not a huge fan of this far

 the 2012 Horse Stables remains the best Friends set of that sub theme.

Extremely promising! Seems 2 of the main characters will be males as well, so hopefully even more scope for expanded themes and ideas. Even though grainy, I can tell I really like the aesthetic.

How do we know they are males? LEGO could be doing non-binary people now too. Who knows.

@CM4Sci posted on his IG stories a cleared pictured. 2 males for sure. 

Lots of new hairpieces!

One of them seems to be using Rex Dangervest's hairpiece (o a new one very similar to Rex's)

A 2023 thread is needed now

We don’t I suppose, but we have had Leo confirmed in the set names and both mini dolls look to have the boy (young male) torso.

Well tht’s really interesting.

[DragonElves]

Wow, I’ve only had a quick look but these are great sets and so detailed. Everything from the designs, minidolls (one girl has a limb difference, excellent!), more animal molds (the dachshund with wheels is amazing). I like how they’re continuing the story of the five original girls, Mia is Autumn’s mum! It’ll be nice to see them as adults in minidoll form.

Non-binary people can look like anyone. 

The sets are amazing, the prices even better. Not a huge fan of the school but that's okay. The house is amazing and the skate through dinner is a blast. Good to see new colors for the double door frame and windows.
