Friends

Retailing for $4.99 at Toys R Us is this latest polybag just in time for the Jungle themed Friends sets. via The Brick Fan

Here is a reveal for the final Pop Star set of Friends, baby. Truly outrageous.

Here is a polybag possibly planned for the start of next year that has already been spotted at a Target here in the US. Source

This 'rare' polybag is going on a year old already and was found at Walmart in March (never saw it myself) then at Toys R Us for May. Well if there is a nearby Five Below in your state, you may be able to find a bunch like I just did for $3.99 each. Your experience may vary of course but worth a shot if you dare.

Other than this image, number, and name, I have no idea about this polybag I came across.

These are only $10 apiece, so there isn't a whole lot of risk here. I have been getting into Friends a little more lately, and I have two young daughters who like the theme. Any opinions? As we all know, it is hard to pass up on any set that is retiring soon or harder to find.

Does anyone know if the Lego Friends Magazine (the one published in the UK by Immediate Media and mentioned here by Brick Fanatics) is available in the US? Or how to subscribe to the magazine? I can't seem to find it anywhere online.

I recently bought 10 copies of Olivia's House for $49 each with it drying up from retail stores. This is my first major set from the Friends line up to flip. How has the Friends theme been treating you guys? Are you reselling as a set or mostly parting it out? Are we seeing any significant returns on retired sets yet? If so, which ones are they? Which ones are sleeper that we should keep an eye on? Thanks for sharing!

JANBRICKS' review of the Heartlake Pizzeria set:

Seems like every other retired set from this theme has had great gains, this one sitting at $13 with prime shipping on Amazon. Any idea why this set is so much less popular? All the other ones that retired around the same time are all over $20, a couple over $30. I am kind of stumped.

Looks like DK Publishing has more Friends stuff coming out this year, following their Character Encyclopedia from last year. Spotted these available for pre-order on BN.com and Amz: Ultimate Factivity Collection: LEGO Friends (DK Publishing). Avail 6/2/15. A fact-packed activity book filled with LEGO

No official name or anything at this time. Looks like it's Andrea's chance to shine!

For the little lady on the go, here is a carrying case made to travel for her favorite minidolls. No pricing or listing on Shop-at-Home yet but should be up eventually. It includes two black 6x16 plates.

Going into 2014 I'm thinking that there is a pretty good chance that the Lego Friends theme looses traction due to competition by its own new princess theme-the question is, how much. Might be worthwhile thinking about whether it's worth stocking away friends sets as they retire (or not). I predict princesses will be huge though.

friends modularish subtheme continues to grow big. this set really gets my attention. so much going on here culminating with stephanie is the new mayor of heartlake city. heartlake city community center 41748 is an amazon exclusive. at least no one else has it in stock so i'm guessing that is the case.
