February 1, 201510 yr Does anyone know how much the hotel will cost, so I can prepare myself? :) £89.99 or around $99.99.
February 3, 201510 yr I hope finding the hotel next Xmas at the same price the shopping mall was last Xmas €70-€80 and take profit of early buys discounts (20%-30%) and have it for a little less of €60. If it happens, probably I will buy 2 and modularize it.
February 11, 201510 yr Feeling a little disappointed with that jet , it doesn't look anything like a real jet at all .
February 11, 201510 yr So really the only thing keeping the Grand Hotel from being a CREATOR expert kit is a back wall, and perhaps a few plates in between. That looks like it has an elevator shaft there. It'd be funny and sad at the same time if the Friends line beats the CITY line to a skyscraper condo-style building.
February 12, 201510 yr Feeling a little disappointed with that jet , it doesn't look anything like a real jet at all . It looks like a plane....
February 13, 201510 yr More like a rocket with that small elevators , vertical stabilizer and still no doors for planes in the Lego world yet .
February 14, 201510 yr More like a rocket with that small elevators , vertical stabilizer and still no doors for planes in the Lego world yet . I think the set had to small of a budget to feature doors.
February 14, 201510 yr I would have much preferred the jet to be around the same price point as the dolphin cruiser
February 14, 201510 yr More like a rocket with that small elevators , vertical stabilizer and still no doors for planes in the Lego world yet . The huge jumbo jets LEGO makes has doors.
February 15, 201510 yr http://brickset.com/article/14226/friends-box-images more pics but no grocery store yet :(
February 15, 201510 yr The kiosk is stunning. You get skates in orange, some of those new tan pieces that the hotel has. All the little titles that are most likely printed. It's very very nice!
February 15, 201510 yr The jet looks to me like a Friends version of set 3181 (although with crappier wings and engines)
February 15, 201510 yr I'll just place this here for easy viewing: courtesy of Brickset: http://brickset.com/article/14226/friends-box-images The kiosk is stunning. You get skates in orange, some of those new tan pieces that the hotel has. All the little titles that are most likely printed. It's very very nice! I agree! I think this is gonna be my go-to set, like the Lemonade Stand has been the past year. Loads of nice and useful parts!
February 15, 201510 yr The little Jungle hut with the squirrel and the Lemonade stand were probably the winners of best pieces in a cheap set last year, this kiosk is up there. I'm glad LEGO isn't making us buy the (I'm guessing) $130USD hotel to get the nice little detail pieces. I'm also glad LEGO made a new piece like that because the Castle lion head piece is a little useless, too big looks weird in a lot of sets. Can't wait for that piece in a grey color. And what is the piece name?
February 15, 201510 yr Looking at a Brick Show video from NY Toy Fair that hotel is just the best Friend's set produced so far in the whole theme but I have an issue with the private jet.......the tail.......I can see this one ending up on Air Crash Investigations !
February 15, 201510 yr I can see this one ending up on Air Crash Investigations ! Don't worry, they're safe- there's no pilot included in the set. Edited February 15, 201510 yr by just2good
February 16, 201510 yr Don't worry, they're safe- there's no pilot included in the set. Perhaps the plane uses this........ Now to keep on topic.......no sign of the grocery store......makes the tiger think - retailer exclusive.
February 16, 201510 yr Interesting new piece - check out the spinner rack in front of the kiosk and the countertop in front of the mirror in the dressing room. A 1x1 round tile with an extension that holds accessories like hair bows and sunglasses!
February 16, 201510 yr Oh cool. The rear of the tour bus slides out to make a stage in the mid-front of the bus.
February 16, 201510 yr Those crane hooks are great part usages for hangars for the dresses in the Dressing Room set!
