More Friends 2014 Set Images

Some more January 2014 sets have been revealed, and if you’re a fan of horses then you’re in for a treat. One of the sets revealed is 41039 Sunshine Ranch and it sounds just like what the title says. It’s the largest set for the January line, weighing in at 721 pieces, and it features 2 horses, a foal, some rabbits and other animals. The building seems a little weird. It’s neither a barn, a stable, nor a farmhouse, but looks like a little of each. It’s only a facade, so don’t expect any sort of structure. That’s too bad, because a full-sized barn that opens up down the middle would have been awesome. I suppose that something you can build on your own and knowing the LEGO community, it will be done.

The set is augmented by a second “Sunshine” set, 41026 Sunshine Harvest. It has me curious to know if there will be other Sunshine-themed sets to add to the ranch.

The Brothers Brick posted photos of LEGO’s brand new Disney Princesses line. Based on the Friends scale and minidolls, there are a total of six sets to collect and based on piece counts, expect them to be priced from about $15 for 41051 Merida’s Highland Games on up to about $70-$99 for 41055 Cinderalla’s Romantic Castle.
Expect these sets to have a street date of January 2014, which means with some luck you’ll be able to find them on store shelves right around Christmas time. We’ll keep you posted with any further developments, but for now, enjoy the pictures.

Amazon Discounts LEGO Friends Video Game for Nintendo 3DS

LEGO Friends Nintendo 3DSAmazon currently has the LEGO Friends for Nintendo 3DS handheld game console on sale for $29.96, a 25% discount off of the regular price of $39.99.

Based on the game trailer, it doesn’t seem to be doing much to break the gender stereotypes that the Friends line is infamous for, and in fact probably perpetuates them more than anything. There aren’t any reviews online yet that I could find, and it’s not surprising considering the game and the market it’s aimed for. Not to say that girls don’t play video games, but that it is a smaller market and plus it’s based on a niche product line. The game play doesn’t seem to be very deep. The game feels like a collection of mini games you traverse your way through. In any case, take a look for yourself and decide if the game is even worth picking up.
