About this deal
As you pick each bag up, you might just glimpse some of the new moulds or see a flash of an unusual colour!
There are a number of stickers, and after much more consideration than usual, I decided not to apply any. I would expect exactly the same imaginative construction in a set that wasn’t slathered in purple and butterflies, so I’m heartened to see it in a set that is. Next to the poster page, there’s a full run-down of all the Friends sets, complete with little check-boxes to tick when you’ve bought them all. In addition to the fabulous new parts, it should be noted that there’s a good amount of tan and white pieces here.Great for sleepovers, Olivia and her parents (included) have a wonderful home full of interactive furniture and accessories to play with. The idyllic white picket fence continues, separated by cute gateposts, and lastly there’s a little vegetable patch for growing carrots – presumably to make juice out of.
I hunted around for a while, but I was disappointed to not find a Friends poster in the box or instructions anywhere. Again, here, you can see that most of the pink comes from the baseplates, with a little provided by furniture details like the drawers and sink in the bathroom.There’s also a handy inset showing a number of the new parts (and some interesting old parts), to really whet your appetite for the treasures within.
