Lego Friends 2015 Sets – I can count the number of LEGO Friends sets I own, which is almost unheard of for me and any perennial LEGO theme. But I have to be honest: I don’t like minidolls. So, as you may have guessed, it takes a lot for a group of friends to impress me. Still, at the 2015 New York Toy Fair, I was surprised by what might be the best addition to this theme yet: the summer 2015 LEGO Friends Heartlake Grand Hotel 41101!
I was hoping to just catch a glimpse of the LEGO Friends exhibit at the New York Toy Fair, but I was so enthralled with the Summer 2015 sets that I spent 15 minutes taking photos and notes in the exhibit (an eternity when you think I had a total two hours at the LEGO stand).

For me, the highlight of this summer’s Friends sets was hands down the LEGO 41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel (which, by the way, is the biggest LEGO Friends set of 2015).

What common hotel features are repeated here in this hotel set? Well… do you want a chandelier? Here it is. A grand piano? Present! Revolving doors? Yes, they are here too! Elevators, luggage carts, taxis, they are all here!
Everything you’d expect to find in a luxury hotel is included in this set, and I love it!
The sheer size of this outfit makes it feel much more special than the usual Friends outfits, while attention to detail has been paid to both the exterior and interior of the hotel. If this isn’t the best LEGO Friends game of all time, I don’t know what is!
The LEGO Heartlake Grand Hotel 41101 set includes five minifigures (which is a pretty significant number for a Friends set):

While we already have countless Olivia, Stephanie and Andrea dolls, two figures in this set are truly special. I’m always happy to see more LEGO Friends kids included, so Nate the Bellhop is the highlight of this minidoll selection for me. And since he’s a bellboy, I doubt we’ll see Nate released again! Susan Minidoll is another new character that is exclusive to this set.
You can expect this LEGO Friends Summer 2015 Endless Game to come with a similarly high price tag. And you would be right (although maybe not as much as you think). LEGO 41101 includes 1,555 pieces for just $129.99 – over 8 cents each! For such an attractive set, it’s a great value!
I really thought the price on the poster for this set was wrong, but LEGO representatives confirmed that $129.99 is the correct price for the LEGO Friends Hotel in the United States.
Strong value! Many girls are going to love this set as their main Christmas gift this year, I’m sure!

The LEGO Friends 41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel set is scheduled for release in August 2015 (first shipments expected in July 2015). I’ll also be posting photos, views and information about the remaining LEGO Friends summer 2015 sets, and you can like Bricks and Blocks on Facebook to get the news in your Facebook Newsfeed!
What do you think of the LEGO Friends Heartlake Grand Hotel (41101), one of the greatest Friends sets of all time, LEGO fans? Does this grand hotel pique your interest, or is a friend over $125, 1500 or more just not for you? With a song in my heart and stars in my eyes, I took over a thousand photos of the LEGO booth at the 2015 New York Toy Fair, including a double-digit number of photos of every set shown at the event. I had intended to write a full review for each set, but sadly ran out of time. Still, I hate to ruin beautiful photos, so LEGO Friends fans, go ahead and enjoy over 5 dozen photos of LEGO Friends Summer 2015 sets!
I really, really wanted to do a full coverage of every single LEGO Friends set from summer 2015 for all you Friends fans out there, but I got sidetracked by one thing after another and never really got into my groove with this preview. New summer friends toys.
While I wrote a full preview of the Heartlake Grand Hotel setting back in the spring, time is almost up and new Friends LEGO sets are hitting stores any day now.

And while it’s too late to do a big review of each of these upcoming outfits, I still have time to do one last mega photo dump featuring my favorite “coming soon” outfits from this theme!
…and it’s a wrap! If anyone has any questions about the sets, be sure to shoot them my way and I’ll do my best to answer anything anyone wants to know.
