LEGO FRIENDS OLIVIA'S HOUSE 3315

Product Information

The 1x2 medium blue tiles are attractive, and not that common unless you own multiple copies of 10185 Green Grocer (in which there are 27). You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. There are a remarkable number of dark pink 3x4 slopes, and considering this is the first time we’ve seen them in this colour, that seems rather generous. If you look closely, you can see the copyright is for 2009 and is embossed into the backs of the figures.

I'm quite surprised that the stickers are all on one sheet-- in the past, I've been more used to metallic stickers being on a separate sheet from other stickers that don't need any chrome surfaces.I really thought this was a set I wouldn't like, but your review has defintely swayed me towards the 'want' side of things. I’m a sucker for alternative builds, and although these aren’t really alternative builds but rather a re-arrangement of the modules of the house, I still really like that it’s here. The colour scheme is pleasant, and if you find the pink offensive then it can easily be swapped out as there isn’t really that much of it. You cannot fail to notice the colours; having exhausted pink with Paradisa, TLG have fallen back on the next girliest colour, purple.

There’s also a handy inset showing a number of the new parts (and some interesting old parts), to really whet your appetite for the treasures within. As indicated in the inset on the back of the box, the contents are in numbered bags relating to the corresponding build. The idyllic white picket fence continues, separated by cute gateposts, and lastly there’s a little vegetable patch for growing carrots – presumably to make juice out of. At the back you can better see that there’s a BBQ here, which reminds me a bit of the CREATOR house 5771 Hillside House and the City house 8403 Family Home. From the back you can see the garden extends around the side of the house and you can see how the rooms all fit together.Next to the poster page, there’s a full run-down of all the Friends sets, complete with little check-boxes to tick when you’ve bought them all. But I guess it was more economical to do it this way, especially as it allowed some small mirrored areas on the trophy sticker, the bath rack sticker, etc. This house is completely designed for interaction and customization, and certainly not with the silly levers and numerous catapults from some of the other lines.
