Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if it would be smart to pick up some of the new line of Lego bricks for girls, the 'Friends' theme? With all the hub-bub about it being sexist, maybe there is a chance that Lego drops the line and the sets become more valuable? Thoughts?

outside of the house or mansion or whatever it is that gave crazy returns, how does this theme do overall? 

I would like to know as well, I usually buy the large sets and they do reasonable well but don't move too fast. I bought a few smaller sets here and there but haven't really got to selling them. 

The water park is already at 65% off here this week, even at these prices they move so slowly I don't know if I should spare the space. I did get a bunch of the large fairground set when they were on 50% off. I think it's a nice set and hope it will appreciate well. 

My arm sweep of the large hospital sets have been slow moving, maybe I should put them on elsewhere instead.

i'm thinking you should do well on the fairground ones as well.

i snagged a few of the lighthouses when they were on clearance at wally world. not sure they are that great of a set though.

the one that i think is cool is the rescue boat. but alas, it's still available at Target for RRP. 

The new Main Street and Treehouse look like good builds.

You know you have been here too long when you witness the birth, the first reboot, and then the second reboot of a line / franchise

Two things we know for sure. Mia got laid, and her daughter is definitely right handed. 

Interesting to me that I joined the site about the same time (within the same year at least) as the Friends line was introduced. As though I saw the girls came into this world, learned how to run their own businesses, had incredible adventures out in the world, then settled down having children of their own. I became a grandpappy and didn't even realize it.

 

 

Friends has really grown up! The most expensive set by $40.

This is what happens when inflation strikes!

It looks like an updated Livi's Pop Star House (that did quite well).

Yay LEGO!

At my local costco - all had this sticker - does anyone know what shep one means?

 

Figured it was time to update the Friends discussion......Just wondering what is going on with this set?...Pushing $400-500 on ebay.....Sold out at Lego SAH and looks to be a Lego/SAH Exclusive....For anyone who has access to local stores (I don't) be sure and keep  an eye out......Definitely worth picking up and doing a quick flip

Lego exclusive only,  been out of SAH for about a month.

Got popular as it was on the holiday catalog,  and yes it was one of the best flips of season.

Thanks for the update birdman.....I just happened to browse lego sah exclusives looking for sales and saw this was sold out and then checked prices and wowsers

My store has one and I'm tempted, at least to keep and build, but without Amazon access, it seems a lot of work for $30-50 and too tight a time frame.

Yay LEGO!
