plastic_ati Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 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 ) Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Sheesh, this is probably the most dead of all 2015 threads. That hotel.. Edited January 28, 2015 by CM4Sci Quote
DD840 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Yay pics! Want to see the grocery store too. That hotel looks really promising Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Woah, thegrand hotel looks amazing. I betwith this colorsheme even City fans will love it~! I can spot a piano on the back! Edited January 28, 2015 by Lordofdragonss Quote
Robert8 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) The Grand Hotel is stellar! They were truly inspired while designing it... Edited January 28, 2015 by Robert8 Quote
DD840 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 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. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Cool tour bus......though not real life though.....it is not trashed ! The Grand Hotel is delightful......might need to get instructions when available. I too am dying to see the grocery store. Quote
dr_spock Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 The hotel looks pretty good and that grand piano. The 8 wide bus could also work as one of those large campers. Quote
wooootles Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 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) Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I counted some great pieces here!!! New arch window piece (down windows)!!! New gold supporter brick (under balcony)!!! Pink suitcase Brown grandma hair. Quote
SweetiePie88 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Sheesh, this is probably the most dead of all 2015 threads. That hotel.. Yea, I guess pop star is a little to weird for people here. Quote
Dorayaki Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) 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.

tafkatb Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Ooh, I see new corbel bricks! Hope they come out in other colors soon. Quote
sgeureka Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 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). Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Now who doesn't dig the London style cab by the Grand Hotel eh ? I wonder if there is a TV in one of the bedrooms so the pop star can have a meltdown and throw it out the window ? Quote
danimarroquin Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Let's see if we get some good pics from the private jet. Quote

K4kitty Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I'd like to see a photo of the private jet also! Quote
Dorayaki Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited January 28, 2015 by Dorayaki Quote
Redhead1982 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 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. Quote
Cagast Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Oh, Grand Hotel! This is the best Friends wave, now waiting for pics of the private jet. Quote
Cammo Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 That hotel has a 'Grand Budapest Hotel' vibe. I like it! Quote
Bricknblue Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 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. 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?
