2014 sets images from German Toy Fair

Jungle is the setting for LEGO Friends in the second wave of sets for 2014.  In addition to new animals and some fun action scenes with rescues, there's an open-air shopping mall.  The photo-booth we've seen in various TV show episodes is finally going to be built in bricks.

 Left you can see part of Jungle Bridge Rescue #41036, then in front of that is the Jungle Falls Rescue #41033.  The larger set with slide is Jungle Rescue Base #41038.  The set in front is  First Aid Jungle Bike #41032.  In back you can see boxes of Heartlake Shopping Mall #41058.

 Check back for more images as they become available.  This is the first series of sets based outside Heartlake City.  The new Jungle scenario looks to provide lots of adventure for Friends!

Birthday Party Polybag Review

LEGO Friends Andrea's Birthday Party
 Set # 30107 Released January 2013 - 39 pieces
by tonistokes529
 
I think I am very a little obsessed with polybags, and I don't know why.
Their size appeals to me I guess. This is the last of the recent polybags
I had to pick up and it does not disappoint!

Here is the actual polybag. Let's open it up and see what's inside.

More Friends polybags for 2014

   Polybags are a fun way to get a small build (usually 30-40 bricks) and a Mini-Doll in a different model setting.  Some polybags are free-with-purchase during specific merchandise campaigns, and sometimes they are sold in specific global markets.  Fans always hope they will be able to buy them in their city!
