I am WELL outside the target audience for this set, but there's something about it I just love. It hits a kind of "impractical, extravagant, dreamlike" vibe that I can't quite place but is oddly nostalgic for me. What a phenomenal design, seriously impressive. It would've been so easy to make it look just plain tacky, and it definitely IS tacky, bu, like... Tastefully? Idk. Just kinda adorable.

The colours are easily the best part, in my opinion! Makes for exciting and joyful sets, perfect for the theme's target audience. This really feels like LEGO's answer to Barbie's dollhouse.

I actually kind of like the sunset colors being used on the house, but once you showed it in a more modern black I had to agree that black looked better. I do wish we would get more modern homes from Lego as in my experience Lego blocks are perfect in replicating the modern aesthetic, especially since many modern homes are very blocky.

OMG, as someone who DID grow up loving friends and mini dolls, I love seeing all 5 of the grown-up original crew. Like, those are my girls!!!

Friends have been getting better and better

As someone who grew up on Lego Friends, I'm super happy you're reviewing them now! People often undermine things designed for little girls, and its really awesome to see you being open-minded and giving them a chance! Thank you, Tiago! Love your videos

This really does feel like a Hollywood Hills type of mansion. I really have no interest in Friends, but man, this is an awesome set. It’s great to see that modern architecture has finally arrived for building toys.

Thanks for doing the review on this! As I get older the more I look at sets not to purchase for myself. Going to get this for my nieces birthday! This will be a fun build to do with her! Thanks, Tiago!

I like that it kinda captures the retro vibe of fancy houses in like LA in the 80s Its also nice that lof of construction and walls are build up, not made from huge pieces like CIty often has

It looks so cool, all the rooms and details got me saying "wow" out loud as you were listing them off.

I'm an AFOL for a LOOOONG time now, but this has got to be one of the most beautiful Lego houses ever. I don't care much for minidolls, and I'm not even into City, but I'm seriously tempted. You could use this easily in a superhero setting or in the Ninjago or Monkie Kid worlds. It's stunning. Once on clearance, I don't think I'll be able to resist...

Converting this into the malibu mansion is gonna be awesome!!

Love seeing the occasional Friends reviews finding their way onto your channel! I think if you wanted to review a couple more Friends sets next year the Space Base would make sense in a group review with other Space-themed sets, and possibly the Farm Animal subthemed sets for a goat comparison.

Lets call the new orange “tomatosoup”

I agree with the other commenters, I think the colors are fun!! Why should everything be drab and greyscale? Not only are the colors more appealing to the target demographic, but as a Lego enthusiast outside that target group, I also love it more than if it were plain black and grey and white.

So many cool play features and architectural/landscaping design features.... genuinely love these large sets and your reviews are always excellent❤

Good to see you give this theme more credits!!! Very awesome design this beautiful building!!!

Really cool to see how the Lego Friends sets have transformed! Would love to see more if they continue to look this cool!

Finally, thanks for this review, please continue. THIS set is a day one purchase for sure!

Wow, they are treating Lego Friends as a proper Lego line

This is pretty fantastic, thanks for the review as always! I honestly would love it if Lego did some modular compatible buildings with Friends the way they did with Marvel and Ninjago. Based on the many MOCs based on Botanical Garden and the forthcoming Ideas set, it is clear that there is an appetite for these kinds of products. I can only imagine what a fully modular compatible Friends set would look like, I think it would be wonderful additions to Lego cities all across the world. Lego, make it happen please!!

the yellow to magenta gradient is so pleasing! can’t wait to see more of that vermillion piece in action 👀

There are a ton of fabulous Friends sets, pretty much any time there’s a boat or ship I can’t resist buying it! And my kids love the Disney themed Friends sets. Definitely hope you’ll review more of this line of Lego

Thank you for the review! I made up my mind on buying it when it was revealed but this review made me more excited on getting it! The garage feature is sick!

I love the bright colors. I’ve gotten a few friends sets lately. I got the bowling alley on super sale, the botanical gardens, and the tower and kitchen sets to make the 5 level tower. I used to skip that part of the LEGO aisle, but not anymore

The new LEGO Ideas Twilight house looks a little similar to this! Maybe this Friends set was inspired by it? Maybe the LEGO designer saw Twilight and thought the house was cool and made something similar?

I love the FLW Fallingwater-style supports/embankment on the exterior garage wall.

Awesome set great review Happy holidays 🎄

I love this build it is beautiful 🤩 thank you so much for showing us the model before we buy it 😀

Love the review, especially pointing out all the new pieces.

I’m one of those people who buys the occasional Friends set when it fits into the City line, like the Botanical Gardens. Am thinking of picking up this one and the other Friends houses for the same reason. It would be great to see the same design innovation brought to City and Creator 3-in-1 houses.

It’s a great looking set for sure. Always interested in new parts and colours. Be interesting to see the profile brick released in the new red-orange down the road.

I totally agree with you that classic minifigures are way better than minidolls, also the color scheme can be wild but I already own the first Friends Grand Hotel (twice) and the old Friends Hospital (also twice) because they where good buildings with good pieces. Recoloring is super simple with LEGO 😀

I loved the friends theatre. Lots of play value and loved the aesthetic and the build! This is now another legitimate set worth a look! Great stuff.

LEGO Friends has some amazing sets right now! The friendship treehouse and Andrea's theatre school are two of my favorite builds from the series. Also, kids LOVE Friends sets like this, especially little girls. Like you said, it's the ultimate LEGO dollhouse!

Great set! I would like to see your take on minifigurization (is there is such word🤔?) of this house - similar to the botanical garden) Love your reviews! They are the best way to look into amazing sets that I cannot afford(

Tiago I love you, you’re a great reviewer but my man that sunset colour theming across the set is stunning

I for one appreciate @Tiago going outside the traditional, AFOL review box and giving us yet another Friends set that I too, "oddly" enjoy. LEGO did a great job bridging the gap between the Friends 14 year old target audience w/both younger and older audiences. Heck, even my 6 year old son told me this set would look awesome in our future LEGO city. :)

Interesting new pieces and color. And interesting review too ! Pease do more friends sets.

As a Speed Champions fan im really happy with the colour of the car, now it's possible to make a teal car due to the new arches, i think the rims are pretty funky and could work in some builds. The windshield piece could perhaps be used for a spaceship

As an unexpected Lego Friends Fan, I am totally here for these videos, and would love to see more reviews on this theme.

Using this set, people could make a great looking Malibu Mansion from the Iron Man movies… You can have his sports car in the garage, his workshop, his hall of armour and more areas to fit iconic scenes. (Just a few colour swaps).

Omg I've also kinda written off the friends line for years but this might be the first set from the line I actually want :0

Lego Friends have been knocking out some seriously impressive sets recently, I agree about the Botanical gardens set, really enjoyed that build and I think the same will be with this set. Excellent review. Do you think you can review the pop star bus also a new release for friends. Merry Christmas 🎄

Yes! Do more reviews of Friends sets😃😊

Friends has been killing it for several years, starting with the Rescue Mission subtheme in 2019 and extending to the botanical garden in 2023 and now this one. I'd never buy it for myself of course, but I sure am happy to have a daughter who's the right age for it to give me an excuse to build and play with it.

I am so happy for the transparent yellow garage door pieces, and I really hope that they will be on pick a brick so that I can build epic Blacktron Mocs.

I’ve never seen a Friends set which I’ve wanted to buy more than this. Going near the top of my hit list going into 2024 for sure!

Amazing review

I love this set! Lego Friends and Elves is actually why I started collecting Lego as an adult. I've always found minifigures to blocky for my taste, so minidolls (even though they don't move their legs independently) are what pulled me in. Lego Friends has come a long way! I Love their colors. :D Me encanta! Gracias for the review.

Thank you for another amazing kid-friendly review, Tiago!

This prime real estate looks like a redevelopment in Paradisa

so beautifully done

I love Friends. I’ve had many of the LEGO big builds, and a Ninjago City Set - I sold them… they are massive and hard to keep clean. My Friend’s sets can be switched out, easily wiped down with a damp paper cloth- I create different little town set ups. I love the botanical garden set best- now this set is a stunner- just have to decide if I want to get back into the “big boys” - not so easy to move around sets….

I wish I could afford this. It's so gorgeous!

I have some kind of aversion towards the new Friends generation but I remember how previous generation Friends sets were simple play toys, kinda rough around the edges. This generations sets are all incredibly designed and look so smooth! I even considered buying this one at the end of this academic year!

Very nice Memphis Milano/80s/Jems and Holograms type of set, didn't expect this level of design

A certain Canadian Slug out there is probably hyped at the new dark turquoise mudguards that he can use for his MOCs.

It looks so 80's 90's I totally love it. So colorful

Please keep doing the Lego friends set reviews. I am a huge fan of both Lego friends and your Chanel.

Thank you for this review. 😊 Your happiness, echoes my joy. 😊 I love Friends sets. ❤

Wow! This set is absolutely amazing. It Changed my opinion about friends sets! I will buy that!❤

I was really surprised by this result and the modern house which are rare with Lego, but the fact that this house and maybe the Cullen house Form which will a be idea set make me want to build a city with all moderns house, Lego is starting his new era of modern architecture build …

Wow. Best house ever. Great review too!

That looks so cool and if I had enough space to put my lego and money wasn't an issue I would have bought it for sure and even play with it from time to time hahaha.

I bet someone will make an awesome MOC out of a few of these. Has an aawesome Miami vibes.

I’m pretty sure those are donuts, not cookies. 😂 I love the clever “subscribe” scene at the end. If I wasn’t already subscribed, I’d definitely do it now. 😉

Oh my god i want this set so bad! Those colors are absolutely amazing!

Box in car: *has croissant printed on it* Box in car: *has donuts in it* Tiago: "Cookies"

Yes, more Friends reviews, please.

Damn that looks awesome

I might consider buying this one.

That car is kinda rad, very synthwave looking.

Lego Friends has been at the vanguard in terms of building design for a while now. For instance, they were also the first to do slanted roofs, and then, a year later, city had those as well.

I think reviewers might want to stick stuff under a blacklight then complain about the colors. Between glow in the dark elements and these new neon colors…things are getting pretty fun in Lego land.

Honestly, as a parts monkey. I've really been loving the Friends theme for the last 2 years. I'm glad to see they keep getting better!

You could do a ranking with the bests tecnics that lego co. did during the year teching how to assemble It.

One of my top five sets is Poolside Paradise from Paradisa and this feels like a modern take!

200 $ is a lot of money for many people, but then again, even if I grew up playing with Lego, I never got any outside of birthdays and Christmas, and for that, I think this set is fairly appropriate. I could see a couple of family members coming together to give a kid this set as a present like my family members would do with big Adventure and Harry Potter sets back in the day.

I'm getting this. It's just too good to miss.

Really like the car, even with the semi-neon rims. that would be nice as a standalone set. I'm not much on dollhouses, no matter the theme.

Friends has quietly been LEGO's best theme for a long time now.

At my house we have the Friends Tree House. I was impressed with that set. I've seen some cool build techniques and things from the friends line, but not a fan of the dolls, I wish they were minifigs (I'm not the target audience for Friends line)

This set looks so animated. I might need to cop one for my grown self!

I wonder if MatPat would do a film theory about the deep lore of Lego friends.

Looks awesome

What a cool set!

This set is awesome Great new parts

I am starting to think the theme (friends) is someone's pet project (internally at lego). They get sets that would make EVERYONE crazy in Lego city or if they would make such great castle sets / space sets with such attention to detail as this set - and the storyline connectivity between old friends and new friends. Who knows how happy lego fans would actually be?

Such an amazing house!

Friends sets have done an amazing job of being sooo much better then city sets. City now is trying to catch up. I love this set just like the botanical garden. Looking forward to modding it.

Hi Tiago, just like you I’m quite a bit older than the target clientel for the Friends line. We have similar tastes when it comes to building experience and dislike of Technic. Your reviews have been a big help to me, so all I can say is ... please review the sets that seem like an interesting build to you and all will be ok. (... and if not ok, just say so and learn form it).

Can’t wait to get this set cause it looks fabby

I love this set design

When I get a friends set I just strip the mini dolls of their hair pieces and forget about the rest of the body lol

I do think you should’ve do mor review off friends I don’t buy but I think the designers s are awesome I saw her in a tour really great stile of her own and very positive and showed in her sets I think she’s growing and you can see it in her models too

The Friends line always introduces either new colors or pieces to the lego system. sometimes even the mechanisms leave me surprised

I wish they would make a Creator Expert Fire Truck, I have been wanting a large Fire Truck for awhile. Same length as the Mustang or Porsche.

You must check out the Performing Arts theater from 2022... Its not remotely close to classic friends sets.
