Take that Green Grocer.. err..  

This and the Grand Hotel from the new Friends releases are definite purchases for me. It's appealing to me that these sets mostly consist of neutral building colors (white, tan...) also useful elsewhere.

LOL.  I saw "Heartlake Flood Market" in the subject and thought where can I get those sets!

This is a great looking set. Darn you Friends!!!

This bad boy is money in the bank, bring on those discounts!

388 pieces so a retail of $40-$50 I am assuming. Nice looking play set, but I'm a little wary of its investment potential. Nothing screams out to me that i have to have it. The friends theme seems to have cooled off a bit since the first wave investment wise. I've got several riding camps, Olivia's house, dolphin cruisers, horse trailers, malls, and plan on getting a few of the hotels, but nothing else from this theme seems to get me excited anymore.

​I thought this one would have had you at pineapples and pink shutters?

I love this set.

It looks like the perfect one to raid and clean out Target stores for the Christmas season.

​Agreed.  Nice little set for under the tree.

too many similar sets in this theme, and very few winners after the first 2 waves.  

This is one where it feels like Friends meets Creator and if there is one thing I enjoy from either theme, it would be the buildings (especially the storefronts) without a doubt. Now if only City were to give us a supermarket or dollar store even.

​The Friends theme has become a solid staple for LEGO (the company) in the same way City has. Actually they could have probably just called the line "Heartlake City" as that mainly is where the sets are centered around plus it can simply be looked upon as 'City for girls'. Picking the true winners will become an increasing challenge I imagine but with any luck a strong pattern may form right before our very eyes. I favor the houses and stores myself. Now whether those will turn good or bad with any sort of consistency remains to be seen. Anyway I am hoping for and figuring a $40 retail on this set considering other ones in a similar range.

I like your way of thinking...

Here is a Brickset review. Also to note, I saw this stocked at Target and retail was $39.99 which for 388 pieces is priced reasonably well considering what all you get.

Is this set a Target exclusive?

I believe so.
