I look forward of getting the summer wave. The "Grand Hotel" sounds promising. I hope it will be really "Grand".

After all these successful years of the minidolls, an Expert/UCS version of something from Heartlake City would be a nice idea. (I guess I will get that whenever I find a working wishing well :classic: )

The fan light over the windows on the main floor - is that a new brick? I'm fairly new to lego and haven't seen those before.

That hotel may easily be the best looking (top 5 at least) LEGO building set that isn't a 10xxx modular. Wow! The color scheme isn't screaming I AM FOR GIRLY GIRLS either!

Friends sets impresses me more and more (IMHO their only dud is the jungle theme)

I think the next wave of Friends could be pretty story-driven, which is a nice trick. Looks like the Friends bump into a pop star character who secretly stays in a hotel. And it could finally be Andrea's turn, who hasn't got her own story in the cartoon series.

Anyway, the hotel is obviously what Paradisa FOLs have been waiting for decades!! It reprise the miss of Shopping Mall and it also looks just perfect as a new member of Creater Modular sets, some MOCs have made before:

Additionally, Andrea's home was supposed to be an appartment, so if LEGO allow this kind of Friends building, her home would have a better chance in future waves too.

The popstar also reuses another Disney member, Ariel hairpiece. So this almost proves that Disney Elsa and Cinderella's hairpiece could be reused in generic themes.

There is a bit more information in

, beginning at minute 4:40.

I am not that much into the purple roof of the Grand Hotel, but I love the new arch window piece and the golden architectural detail brick. In the video above, you can also see that there are going to be a few big window pieces that seem to be printed with pretty golden lines (could also be a sticker though).

Wait, no discussion for the stage?

It's not the first performance stage in Friends, but technically the very first outdoor live stage. And werdly it seems to be too late for LEGO since other competitors had done it in licensed themes before. I personally think the Barbie one was probabally the best out of their own catalogue, due to that it had two alternative buildings.

The minimovie today also gave a hint for the plot. Looks like they would indeed meet the superidol and Andrea would have a guest appearance in her live.

The new arched window piece and the support golden part are my favourite in the hotel. Hotel looks ok, it's not too purple, but if I get one,it will be mostly for this new parts.

I saw that too and I think it is, looks very nice.

I love the hotel, but will never buy it being the cost. But it has a nice Indian feel with only a little purple which I would replace.

However I'm disappointed that the Friends theme goes from the awesome "Let's save jungle animals" to returning to Lakeheart (That's the city right?) only to meet up with a rich pop star and get a bus and a limo and a hotel for the rich brat, I mean pop star, to hang out in?
