nolanfan34 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I like it. The gold elements are cool, and I like the piano in the lobby haha. Quote
minicoopers11 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Wow. I love it. So much so I'm singing, "Winner, winner, chicken dinner!" But I also loved Battle of Alamut. Nah, still think this will be a big winner. Quote
rastascoob Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Hope the Grand Hotel and taxi signs are printed but not getting my hopes up. Quote
jaxman Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Not getting my hopes up either. Every Friends set my daughter and I have built has had lots of stickers. But this grand Hotel looks like a definite winner. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Hope the Grand Hotel and taxi signs are printed but not getting my hopes up.The Grand Hotel sign is certainly a sticker and the slight lopsidedness on the Taxi one implies it too is a sticker. Quote
exciter1 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 So, is Friends going to have 2 big sets, or is the Mall leaving us early? Quote
marcandre Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I'm happy to see the Heartlake theme continued. All the jungle stuff had me thinking it may be over. Quote
inversion Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 This is frikken huge. It reminds me of AA, which was an exclusive. Friends must be really a hit if LEGO releases stuff like this. Quote
jaxman Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 This looks more along the size of Olivia's House, not the mall. My guess would be a $70 price. The doorman minifigure looks cool. Quote

I think it's bigger than Olivia's house, more detail, plus the accessories, plus the vehicle. It's a $110 - $120 set. Quote
chipbee Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 This set looks fairly easy to modify into a modular building. Quote
Thumper Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 yikes... ugly!!! (a little potential as a parts pack thou) Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 What's with using black bricks in Friends line ? Shouldn't that piano be bright purple or bright green or something ? Quote
jaxman Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Yeah, looking at it again it is bigger. I thought it was just a four module build like OH, but the tower in the back is another 2+, along the lines of the mall. Quote
jaxman Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Here's the YouTube link that has the video of the set. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Here's the YouTube link that has the video of the set. 3 Quote
nolanfan34 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Great link. I will be buying a lot of this. I think the question of whether this and Heartlake Mall exist at the same time is a good one. I am guessing we will see the mall disappear from retail shelves but remain online for quite a bit of time. Quote
wsuskee Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 ShopKo has had the mall for $70 lately so I was wondering if it was going away. Quote
bricketycricket Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Normally I have less than zero interest in anything from the Friends lineup. But I do want to create a custom modular building at some point, and it seems like 2 of these could make a very, very nice custom modular. What's the likelihood of being able to get these at any significant discount during its lifespan? (In other words, it's not an exclusive, is it?) Quote
matt1147 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Walmart clearance and/or TRU coupon stacking seem like the best shot based on the Mall and other similar sets Quote
10230 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) ShopKo has had the mall for $70 lately so I was wondering if it was going away.Shopko or the Mall?And on topic: any house that doesn't even have a back wall feels - how should I put it - incomplete? It would be so much better to make this modular-style. But I guess play-value has priority for this line - for a good reason. Maybe combining two could give you a nice hotel.
