There’s a swivelly sunlounger, which isn’t pink but rather tastefully composed of medium blue and lime green, and the trans dark pink umbrella casts a gentle pink hue over the white pieces of the ensemble.

The printing detail is great and the cross-compatible hair is very handy, but I’m still not really excited by them. The inside of the instructions are laid out in exactly the same way as any other modern LEGO set I’ve built. Olivia thinks her room is great - it has a balcony with pretty views and a desk for her laptop and journals. Bag one also contains a high number of mini-bags, mainly because the legs and torsos of the figures are individually wrapped.The gagne-child (latterly re-named Raging Demonic Child) has had a sex-change, and is now a moderately less offensive child, not least because she’s a girl. The attractive medium blue tiles, interspersed with more functional 2x2 white plates, make it really look like a tiled bathroom. 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.

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.The back of the first booklet has a colourful picture of the five Friends holding Olivia’s house as if it were a LEGO model. The only minor disappointment is that they are all red, but hopefully new colours will become more common too. It should also be remembered that this set is SYSTEM, and thus completely compatible with minifigs, who can be swapped in to replace the Friends figures if they don’t appeal. Mia loves animals, Olivia builds crazy new inventions, Emma designs the latest fashions in her studio, Andrea loves to sing and Stephanie's always ready to spend time with her friends.
