The upcoming wave of LEGO® sets is gradually taking shape. The latest in a string of announcements is the summer 2021 Friends sets. As with other recent announcements, the initial images come from a retailer in Italy, while Canadian many prices come via Archambault. Some of the pricing also comes from Club Jouet. While Friends enthusiasts and target audience might enjoy the selection, my feelings remain unchanged from the January wave. Friends feels a little tired. There is not a new concept in this entire selection. As with the City and Ninjago sets, it looks like Canadian will have to wait until August 2021 for these sets. The Italian release date is set for June 1.
Get a preliminary look at the sets below. However, not all information or sets are available yet. I will update this post when I learn more.
