This is the big set in the theme, clocking in at $89.99 and it looks like they borrowed heavily from the Friends parts…

It looks to me like Lego is priming for another animated series.Is the Toys"R"Us Lego mark-up ripping us off?12/02/14 12:44pm I hear cries all the time from the casual Lego buyer about how expensive Lego sets have become, how they used to be cheaper...once upon a time. I've often wondered where these people are buying their Lego. Is it possible that their perception of price is simply because they are buying Lego from Toys"R"Us?New pictures of 2015 Lego City, Creator, Friends, Ninjago and Pirates themes11/05/14 11:39amThanks to another premature listing on Spielwaren Bludau, our pals over at Brickset were able to update their already huge database of all things Lego. They have included new images from the City, Creator, Friends, Ninjago and Pirate themes. Nearly all of the sets slated for 2015 release now have at least box art… Our community, 511 want it Our community, 988 want it Our community, 626 want it Our community, 587 want it Our community, 602 want it
Swamp Police Starter Set Our community, 770 want it Our community, 891 want it Our community, 1073 want it Our community, 1138 want it Our community, 907 want it Our community, 1194 want itOver on Brickset, there’s an image of a new LEGO City 2017 set with the Fishing Boat (60147). There’s not much to go on as regards to the piece count or pricing as none were stated. I’m also not sure if this set is for a boat-related subtheme for 2017 or one of the Great Vehicles. Lego Friends (stylized LEGO Friends) is a product range of the Lego construction toy designed primarily for 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[1] 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 café, 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."[1] According to the company, boys comprised 90% of Lego's customers in 2011 before the launch of the Friends line. According to NPR, Lego Friends are "one of the biggest successes in Lego's history ... The line doubled sales expectations in 2012, the year it launched. Sales to girls tripled in just that year." The success has caused other construction-set companies such as Mega Bloks to introduce girl dolls. The first wave was released in January 2012 with 14 sets being released. The largest of the sets was "Olivia's House" which included 695 pieces and three mini-doll figures. In addition to the first sets six polypag sets have been released as promotions. In February Toys 'R' Us in the United States released an exclusive in-store build set called "Lemonade Stand" and in March Lego brand stores released an exclusive in-store build set called "Ice Cream Stand".
Lego announced a further nine sets that would be released later in 2012. Subsequent waves were released in future years, expanding on various interests of the characters and their friends. Specific themes have ranged from various vocational, recreational and academic interests to agriculture, equestrianism, wildlife animal rescue and rehabilitation, and pop stardom, all complementing suburbia-themed sets. The largest sets since the original wave have included Summer Riding Camp, Heartlake Shopping Mall and Heartlake Grand Hotel. Lego has also released accompanying products branded under the Friends theme. These include a picture frame which includes 49 Lego elements which is available from Lego brand stores and a display stand which includes 17 elements that was released as a promotional polybag. In June 2012, two books are set for release based on the Friends theme. Lego Friends: Welcome to Heartlake City and Lego Friends: Perfect Pet Show are set for release on June 18, 2012 by DK Publishing.
