LEGO Friends Summer reveals okay to GREAT! Botanical Garden, Sports Center, Beach Amusement Park ++ 

It's such a shame that fewer people watch your friends reviews, because friends have been consistently putting out great sets for the last few years

I feel like the Friends line has just gotten better and better as time goes on. There are more and more sets that keep coming out that I want to pick up and incorporate into my normal city stuff. The Botanical Garden is an easy buy for me. Very excited for a lot of these!!

I love basically everything about Friends as a theme besides the mini dolls themselves. I understand their purpose, it’ll always just bug me a bit that they could so easily be replaced with standard minifigs. This theme feels like a modern-day Paradisa that had a chance to expand and grow, and so many sets knock it out of the park!

The botanical garden set is so gorgeous! If it wasn't for the minidolls I honestly would have mistaken it as an ideas or creator set. The colors, details and part usage are ridiculously good. It's going to get a lot of fans who have never bought a friends set to buy one and probably multiple copies of it to make it whole. I'm so grateful they went with such an elegant color scheme and kept the bright colors with the plants. Beach amusement part is another set that really stood out.

That Botanical Gardens set completely transcends the theme and I'm sure many LEGO City enthusiasts are considering buying it, so a review would be wonderful!

I would never have imagined a set like the botanical garden in lego friends, this theme has gotten so much better the past couple years

I thought the dome on the botanical garden looked like it was just a quarter of a full one. But looking closer, it actually looks like half of one on an angle. So you could probably pretty easily make a fully enclosed building with just 2 sets!

The garden looks great

I'm impressed that the community center and community kitchen can be combined and stacked! I'm also very grateful that you pointed out the lack of a parent in the forest protest set.

Man, I have to say the Friends designers are really on their game and, in my opinion, outshining the traditional City theme. I also love the bright colors. Did you notice that the Community Kitchen and Community Center can be combined? That’s a great feature!

11:58 They've added the community kitchen to the community centre

The botanical garden is my favorite; the wave reminds me strongly of Paradisa. Plus the green saxophone and pink frogs as flowers are an excellent part usage - The trees and palms though should be taller and less stiff.

As of recent, these Friends sets have been slam dunks. As a man, I really like these sets. I'll watch whatever Friends sets you decide to do JANG✌🏼

Friends sets are a blessing to the color palette for LEGO pieces 🙌

Friends are knocking it out of the park

That botanical garden is realistically one of the best sets I have seen in a long time. Wish it were a bit less expensive, but I will be getting tons of those parts!!!

That garden set could easily be made to fit in a City lay-out. Btw. The bus set also has that Zelda book that was in one of the room sets

DANG, Friends is the theme that really makes me want to save up money to buy lego! On top of the Botanical Garden, I adore the precedent that the Community Center and the Community Kitchen are setting? If you didn't notice it in the images, The Community Kitchen uses the same sub-system as the Community Center? So it can be stacked up as a Bottom Floor of the Larger Community Center? It's pretty slick! I hope we get more "Community [Blank]" Sets

People who limit themselves to only buy male-oriented sets are really missing out on something, this botanical garden is so amazing! If my sister doesn’t want it, I might just buy it for myself.

I can understand people's reservations about the friends theme when it started but they've really stepped up their game with the builds in the last few years.

If that garden goes on sale, I’m definitely gonna consider buying it. I think those parts could make a great build of any genre, and the plants look super fun to build

11:57 One thing I noticed while watching this, that park is not included, it's the roof of the diner. That picture shows the 2 sets combined. And no, unfortunately the garden is €85

Okay, this is crazy… I never really had much interest in Friends, and to be honest this was the last thing I had expected to improve like this. These are amazing!! They don’t feel necessarily like “Friends”, but structures and places that can fit next to City sets. Seriously, this is going to be the first time I’m buying Friends sets lol. Edit - I'm legit gonna buy 2 of the gardens sets. I need a full, 4 wall building!

Friends buildings are getting so good. That botanical garden especially is stunning. How many copies of it would it take to build an enclosed one I wonder.

Jang honestly I am absolutley loving that these sets make you happy. I feel the same way. They are so colorful and refreshing and look stunning. The Botanical Gardens and the Town Center are incredible and very impressive to me. Feel free to get these if they make you happy. Thats what matters most.

This friends wave is really great but the botanic garden is just incredible. I know it’s not worth your while to do loads of friends reviews but would love if you could maybe do light touch reviews of the ones you choose to buy for yourself.

It's probably been said a hundred times, but I wish they had Friends sets with a choice of minidolls or minifigures. Especially since they got away from all the pinks and lavender. Some of the best sets out there.

These are beautiful. The community center is definitely on my list if I figure out how to use it to add more floors on my Ninjago City.

I don’t really like friends but I would DEFINITELY watch a review of the botanical garden, that thing is beautiful

Just watching Jang getting giddy over that Botanical Garden set was worth it! Go on Jang! Get this set! I WILL watch your review of that set, even I like this one!

Friends getting better every year

The Botanical Garden is incredible. I think I'll be getting several of them and making a larger moc. The community center and kitchen sets also look great and I like how they showed them combined. again a few of those for an even bigger build! I'm really liking how the friends sets are getting more elaborate builds and it's not just dinky facades. I've long been a fan of the bright colours in them too (I know a lot of folk aren't)-- but even those are starting to mature and come into their own-- the autumn stables is a great example of this. Having said that I think its time they retire the green/blue/white/purple palette for the vehicles. It's just not a good combo.

Wow... Friends has some amazing sets with very very useful pieces... stunned at the beauty of the botanical garden as well!!!

The friends line has been quite stellar as of late. This one’s easily adaptable for a city as well

These sets look fantastic. Friends is such a great line!

I live near a Conservatory and that Botanical garden set nails it really well. Kinda want two to make a larger enclosed building.

I love how Friends sets are getting bigger and bigger, and are including lots of stuff that should also be included to City sets. Of course I end up not adding minidolls to my city (my mother says thanks for them) but still I'm looking for a lot of these sets.

I'd love to see 4 of the Botanical Garden sets connected to make a full building.

Oh, wow! This just went to the top of my Wish List! So amazing! I just love this! Such a great looking set, especially for a nature-lover like myself; great-looking build, and some really unique part useage and parts in new colours, too. I am very excited about this set!!

The Botanical Garden will be the first Friends set I will buy. It’s absolutely exquisite.

We love your lego FRIENDS reviews!! In our home, whenever a new set comes out you’re the one we look for. My daughter won’t even entertain the idea of looking at someone else’s reviews. Please don’t listen to what others say, we’ve been enjoying your lego friends reviews for years, and truly look forward to them. It’s comforting for us like a warm blanket, and it’s become a tradition ☺. Review away!

100% would love to see Jang review that Botanical Garden. Amazing looking set!

The Botanical garden is technically an adoult set. It just looks like a creator expert set :)

Friends is one of the best lego themes ever and imo currently the best. I just wish the minidolls were minifig quality, they just break too easily.

The Botanical Garden set is spectacular 👌 I love putting Friends sets in my City even with the stark difference as it pops with colour and appeals to a wider audience ... also the NPU in that set is next level.... saxophones 🎷!!!!!!

That botanical garden looks incredible, but I'm worried it will sell out in seconds. Hopefully some of the target audience can get their hands on it, rather than just AFOLs sweeping the shelves just to resell the parts.

Friends Botanical Garden..? Heck yeah!! As a 49 year old man, I'm gonna get this:) I'm not even ashamed to say it:) Beautiful set:)

I will be grabbing that botanical garden as soon as I can. It’s absolutely beautiful.

I don’t usually buy much friends sets but this botanical garden is very impressive and a must buy! Looking forward to your review Jang! The community centre is also intriguing.

Botanical Gardens!!!!

That botanical garden is ace! Even just the first impression stands out as great aesthetic.

The botanical garden is amazing. What a great job!

The botanical garden set is amazing, a must for this year.

Friends continued to absolutely kill it with the sets

i would love to see your review of this! with your botanical knowledge and general enjoyment of lego builds, i think this would be a great video

20:29 I approve! Please review the Botanical Garden! And on another note, it would look great in your LEGO City!

“How am I going to just get one of these” perfectly encapsulates what I thought as I saw more of this set.

would absolutely love to see the botanical garden review, it's so visually stunning. i wish the expert modulars looked more like that!

Thanks for all the hard work today jang, so many videos to watch its great!

That botanical set is probably the best Friends set I’ve ever seen! May have to get 2 and make one for my LEGO city. It’s so nice!

Those fern parts are chalking up to be really cool with the right utilization and I can't wait to see them for years to come.

Thanks for doing videos on the friends sets. My kids love this line and I trust your opinions so I find these videos super helpful.

Love your reviews an live builds. Pls do the Botanical set - I feel like this could be a crossover and will engage more viewers than usual friends set.

Yes, Jang! Please review that botanical garden 😍

Delightful as ever. Friends team knocking it out of the park, again!

Personally not really into to friends but WOW is this wave just absolutely incredible. The Friends line really has gotten amazing recently. Especially that Botanical Garden?? That thing is amazing looking, I almost want to just get it myself and replace the minidolls with figs! Would definetly love a review of it!!

loving the garden set!! so many good parts!! love the huge amount of sand green window frames!!

17:29 THAT 3 sided clip-bar piece. . . I like it. Also gonna pick up couple of magnificent Botanical garden sets and expand it.

I was looking through the LEGO Store to see if there were any sets that caught my eye, and when I saw the beach set I remembered liking it a lot when I first saw it a few weeks ago. There's an image from behind the set showing a very complicated gear system through the windows. I love mechanisms in LEGO sets so I was excited to see what it controlled. I was astounded while watching the video show that a single crank made the entire set come alive. The big seas creatures spin and rotate just like a real ride. The Pirate ship sways from side to side. The little water gun targets move just like the real thing. The surf board moves fluidly and organically likes it's actually surfing on water. All this from one crank And my favourite part is that they don't hide the the mechanism away completely. from most angles you can't see the gears, but if you're like me and love to see how machines work, you can look through the back window and see the gears at work. I'd highly recommend going to the LEGO website and watching the video for yourself.

If I ever decide to do a Gotham City MOC, that Botanic Gardens is definitely going in there. Just need a way to cram Poison Ivy and a giant man-eating plant in there

I would really enjoy your review of this set… I’ve enjoyed your enthusiasm in this video! Thank you for your thoughts😊

That Botanical Garden is amazing. I've never bought a Friend's set, but I think I'm gonna have to buy that one.

Great sets from friends, the botanical garden blows my mind. Will get it for sure, one of the few friend sets

38 year old male here, thoroughly enjoying this review of Friends sets!

All hail the botanical garden!

I was not expecting such beautiful friends sets today, I'll really have to think about which ones to get

i am in love with the botanical garden building.

Yes please do review the botanical garden set!!!! It is so beautiful!!! Amazing part use!!! I do love the other buildings a lot to!!!!

Never bought a Friends set in my life, but that Botanical Garden actually looks really nice. Without the figures and maybe with slightly more detail, that could easily be an 18+ display set (or an Ideas set).

Buy two Botanical Gardens and you can create a full building, more or less. Might need a couple extra pieces to fully enclose it though. 💚

That botanical garden is so cool. Love it.

All these recent Friends sets are so lovely. I wish I could have them, they look great & I love all the colors. Any set that you decide to review I will appreciate a lot! 💕

I had the exact same response JANG the Botanical garden is great. Get 2. Put the Minidols in storage and integrate in our minifig cities. Yay

Think I might need to buy four of those Botanical Gardens. Just imagining a nice large MOC with a couple of complete domes flanking a grand entrance and a large glass hall behind it. A bit like the old Crystal Palace.

The Community Center is shown combined with the Community Kitchen. That’s cool!

The friends sets have been getting better and better the last few years. Its much easier to make modulars out of them and include them in the city. Definitely going to be picking up a few of the Botanical gardens and making a modular arboretum.

Jang I will just say that I would love to see a review of that Botanical Garden, It might end up being my first friends set

Another strong wave of Friends set! I feel like the Friends design team might be the best of all themes, their designs are consistently very good. 🤘

I think the Botanical Garden set will be my first ever Lego Friends set, it just looks too good not to get!

I have chronic illness and haven't smiled in a week at least but when I saw that big pretty community center tower and the beautiful botanical gardens I have a grin a mile long!! As a Lego Friend's collector who isn't always keen on the style or colors they have morphed into I am really happy with those! I'm surprised the botanical gardens is with the Friend's stuff as it looks more like a stand alone kind of set to me but I'm just glad its a thing whatever genre its grouped into!!

Bro, these friends sets look so stunning. Wondeful sets

Love Jang! Always choose your Lego videos first.

when this theme appeared i didn't liked, but over the years the opinion has changed... good parts, nice colors and fresh ideas ! has grown so much and many times with better sets than City or other themes !

Wow I really want to see someone take four of that botanical gardens set and make a huge one!

The botanical garden is AMAZING. it will be my first lego friends purchase. As you said maye more than 1... I hope they sell those transparent pieces. If not, this will get expensove... I love this set

I would like to see a review of that botanical garden. It looks soo good🔥

That 10$ set sold for the mixer and other parts!...now that botanical garden😍 give me now and then let's modularized the heck out of this and buy more plants parts to make it bigger and more grand! For a friends set I'm impressed with the plants and even the lily pads too

The botanical gardens looks amazing: dome, waterfall, plants, butterflies. It is reminding me of real greenhouses and the museum in Animal Crossing. I don't love the colours of the bus but it is great that it goes to Unity St. That is the location of the Downtown Flower and Design Stores. It will be interesting to see how all the downtown sets look together.

Friends has blurred the lines between the Lego city and heart lake city stuff like over all quality and also colors can blend easy with the city builds.

I think the botanical gardens will be my first Friends set. I agree that it looks so good!
