Lego Friends
Nice set for the kids. They enjoyed building it.
Probably the most entertaining of the Friends Lego sets. If your kid loves
Legos and you do too, and you both have some time, a hot summer or a cold
winter, the Lego will keep you busy.
"Our daughter loves
LEGO Friends. She first saw them at a friends house and was instantly obsessed
with them. We purchased the "Olivia's Tree House" Set for her for
Christmas and it was a big hit. Since then, we have purchased several additional
sets for her collection." one of reviews said

Lego Friends
Friends,
also known as Lego Friends, Lego Friends of Heartlake City, and sometimes just
Friends of Heartlake City is a product range of the Lego construction toy
designed to appeal primarily to girls. Introduced in 2012, the theme includes
unique "mini-doll" figures, which are about the same size as the
traditional minifigures but are more detailed and realistic. The sets include
pieces in pink and purple color schemes and depict scenes from suburban life
set in the fictional town of Heartlake City.
The Friends
product range replaces Lego's previous female-oriented theme Lego Belville,
which had been in production since 1994, and featured dolls that were much
larger than both the mini-dolls and minifigures. Other related product ranges
have included Homemaker (1971–1982), Paradisa (1991–1997) and Scala
(1997–2001).
Launched
January 1, 2012 in North America (and December 15, 2011, in France), the line
includes 23 sets and features five core characters -- named Andrea, Emma, Mia,
Olivia and Stephanie -- in various suburban settings. In the initial wave of
sets, the larger sets include bricks that can build a veterinary clinic, a
malt-style cafe, a beauty salon and a suburban house; smaller sets included a
"cool convertible," a design studio, an inventor's workshop and a
swimming pool.
A
description from Lego website stated: "The Lego Friends story centers on
the everyday lives and personalities of five girls in a fictional hometown
called Heartlake City. Each of the friends ... has a distinct personality and
interests, such as animals, performing arts, invention and design, that are
reflected in the models. Building sets reflect different parts of town where
the girls’ adventures take place—downtown, suburbs, beach, camping grounds and
mountains."
The
launch of Lego Friends came after a $40 million global marketing push,
according to Bloomberg Businessweek. “This is the most significant strategic
launch we’ve done in a decade,” said Lego Group Chief Executive Officer Jørgen
Vig Knudstorp. “We want to reach the other 50 percent of the world’s
children.” According to the company, boys comprised 90% of Lego's customers
in 2011 before the launch of the Friends line.
