Herky Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 SweetiePie is right, the US and the rest of the world was in sync through Wave 3 I think and then 2014 changed all that, frustrating yes, seems silly, I haven't even looked for them on ebay cause I figured they would hit North America at some point.

Bricknblue Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 The Friends Animals have never been released on time in the USA. I never got a baby deer because those sets were just thrown out. All the Animal sets have been randomly released. It's annoying, but it's only a plastic toy. If the people of the USA cared as much about health care, the hungry, and education as they did with electronics and plastic toys made in China we would be much better off. Quote

"The Friends Animals have never been released on time in the USA. I never got a baby deer because those sets were just thrown out. All the Animal sets have been randomly released." weird. around here, that in particular wave stuck around for AGES and i think there might still be stock left at one walmart! "It's annoying, but it's only a plastic toy" Maybe to some people but to me, it's an effective, non-perscription anti-depressent. I haven't talked about it much here but throughout this year, i went through a major dental journey(details below) thats taking everything out of me. i had days i never wanted to get out of bed except for the fact that mom pretty much dragged me out to do whatever needed to be that way but she doesn't know about most of what's really going on.. You know a big part of what's kept me going? Me making a goal of creating my own lego building space and doing more building. The lego space is coming along very nicely and i am doing more building. am definatly feeling WAY better and more hopeful for the future. How major of a journey? Try to the tune of 14 extractions, 2 fillings, getting upper and lower partials that i had to go in for several adjustments, and a cold sensetivity problem that took a while to solve. Quote
just2good Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 This polybag showed up on TRU.com, and what a great set it is! You get the hat and hair combo for the cheap price, as well as the printed coin piece. Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 That set looks nice! This site has some review up for the 2015 Friends sets.

SweetiePie88 Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 WHOA! I really love that lighthouse! It's kind of like the creator lighthouse but taking up a notch. Anyone know the MSRP? Quote
Aanchir Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 The official website now has product pages for the new sets, including some cute and funny videos showing off the sets' features! Quote
Herky Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 SweetiePie, sorry to hear about your dental problems, those issues can be worse than breaking a bone. Glad you have found a hobby that makes you happy and is helping you to cope. 14 extractions is what, almost half your teeth? Good luck in the future and I hope you get all the sets, have seen them on ebay as well, hoped they wouldn't be so pricey, but am also hoping they hit stores in 1st Q 2015. I really like the heart polybag, will have to search the 2 TRU's here to see if I can find it. Quote
SweetiePie88 Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 more or less Herky. between a bad dental phobia and genetics, my mouth was in rough shape. Still is in a manner of speaking but that's more of a tale of a P.M. conversation so i don't get to off topic here. at first i didn't think legos would help much but when i realized that i could set a goal of having a building area set up and i can MOC a lot easier, i was able to keep moving even on the roughest days. I checked the lighthouse MSRP. Definatly am going to look into it after i secure the vet ambulance, at least 2 momma rabbit sets, and have enough money reserved for the series 6 animals i want. if it would of been 50 bucks, i would of waited for a sale since a bunch of the parts in the count are tiny parts.

Klaus-Dieter Posted December 25, 2014 Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) Having seen more detailed pictures (esp. of the interior) of the sets, I decided to not buy the lighthouse (it's weird that regular ice-cream as well as iced-lollies are sold there since with this the ice-cream parlor competes with itself). In opposite, the saloon is a must-have and maybe I'm getting the family house, too. I'm already excited which sets the summer wave will bring us. A flower shop? A big hotel? A jewelery? A market garden? Klaus-Dieter Edited December 25, 2014 by Klaus-Dieter Quote
Soupperson1 Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 All sets are available in Ireland in smyths :D Quote

Herky Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 you are right, I zoomed in a picture of the items in package and the top of the white bricks do not say Lego...I had found them searching ebay for the animals series 6 packs...didn't look too closely as I had not even heard of these, figured someone here would know, thanks for the info! Quote
SweetiePie88 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Actually those bootleg figures aren't that bad of a quality. Not lego quality but not as bad as some bricks i've encountered. Got the stephanies mini bakery clone and it's pretty cool. as far as bootleg legos go, they've been around for at least a year or so. I remember there being that malibu mansion add on u could build that had like 5 iron mans that u needed for the full look. I remember people talking about clones then since it was way cheaper then buying the real deal Quote
just2good Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 My source and my friend 'demitri' from here has provided me with a sets list for Summer 2015 Friends sets: 41098 Emma’s Tourist Kiosk 41099 Heartlake Skate Park 41100 Heartlake Private Jet 41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel 41103 Pop Star Recording Studio 41104 Pop Star Dressing Room 41105 Pop Star Show Stage 41106 Pop Star Tour Bus Pop Star will be a new subtheme. Cheers. Quote
lightningtiger Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 City gets Explore and Friend's get Pop Star......Lego Vs. Haspro again ! I'm interested in the Grand Hotel......must be a big set.....one can hope for right ? Quote
SweetiePie88 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Anyone else have a target that only has 2 out of 3 boxed animal sets on the shelf? Went to the closest target seeking the mama and baby bunnies set and they only have puppy training and the foal on. Mega aggravating since i only want mama and baby bunnies set. Talked to a guy and he said that they MIGHT be coming in next week. No series 6 either, or even series 5, despite the ample space for new stuff. REALLY??? am debating between waiting for wave 6 to show up on the lego shop and doing one big order when i get the money(vet ambulance, series 6, and 2 mama and baby sets plus 3 wave 4 mixels if i choose to get them ) or hoping that the sets eventually show up around here. However, taking into account how lazy the closest Walmart to us is with maintaining the lego aisle, i might be better off doing an online order for the majority of stuff unless we get to a target b4 hand or a miracle happens at Walmart. We REALLY need a Lego store where i live. During vacation time, the #1 thing i look forward to is going to the lego store where it's neat, tidy, and they care about stocking the shelves.

Klaus-Dieter Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Thank you very much for this set list, just2good! Well, I have to admit that nearly all of these sets do sound very promising! 41098 Emma’s Tourist Kiosk A nice small kiosk with a lot of food and drinks is always welcome! 41099 Heartlake Skate Park Well, I bought some months ago the Extreme Island Skatepark used (but in a very well condition) but for a lot of money on Ebay because I finally wanted to get a skatepark for the teens in Lego City to meet and make sports in their free time. But I fear that the Friends' one will be too girlish (pink and violet everywhere) that I won't regret to have bought the Extreme Island's one. 41100 Heartlake Private Jet and 41106 Pop Star Tour Bus Because of the different size and seats of regular minifigs and the minidolls I fear that these two sets won't work for me. Why can't we get these sets in the City theme?! 41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel I have to admit that I much more would have liked to get a hotel located in the City theme. But since we're getting one in the Friends theme, it's very likely that I'll buy it because I really want a hotel since decades (and in City we for sure won't get one for some years now). The only condition is that it won't be too pink and violet. Do you think that it will be more located on the beach (with palms, a small beach, a swimming pool etc.) or be more a downtown one? 41103 Pop Star Recording Studio, 41104 Pop Star Dressing Room and 41105 Pop Star Show Stage That there will be much pink and violet in these sets imo wouldn't disturb since it's in some shows in reality, too. The only question for me is following: Will the rooms have walls (meaning be seperate parts being able to be putted together to one huge stuio building) or will these sets mainly only be interior? If the first one is the case, I might get the sets. If the second one it the case, I for sure won't get the sets. Btw: Happy new year! Klaus-Dieter Quote
DD840 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Can't wait for pictures of the Grand Hotel. I only wish it would come with a minifig bellhop Quote
Soupperson1 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I hope the popster sets focus on Andrea :) Did anyone else notice no animal packs for summer? New Friends DK books. http://brickfanatics.co.uk/dk-books-2015-new-lego-friends-books/ The build your own adventure ones is really cool! The adventure guide seems to have karate Emma perfect for those who missed out on her set Quote
K4kitty Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Nice! I'd definitely get the jet and hotel for my twins (me) ;) Quote
