2024 Friends, Minecraft and Super Mario sets revealed!
Posted by CapnRex101,
The first couple of Friends, Minecraft and Super Mario sets were unveiled recently and several more from these themes have now emerged via Finnish retailer, Verkkokauppa.com.
By far the most exciting, in my opinion, is the stunning 42639, from Friends! We do not have any pricing information, the piece count, or even an official set name at the moment, but we can see the five original Friends mini-dolls reunited, seemingly at Andrea's house.
View the Friends, Minecraft and Super Mario sets revealed today below...
Hopefully more images and information about these sets will emerge in the next few days.
Which of these sets stand out to you? Let us know in the comments.

Friends continues to deliver the goods. Some amazing sets in the line recently.

Minus the color but it looks A house IN NW Wash DC
How excessively LEGO makes Minecraft sets now confuses me, it’s not like in 2017 where Minecraft is no longer “cool” but, at the same time, I don’t see many people keeping track of all these new additions to the game. Can’t we just get a Jungle Temple or End City already? Maybe just a village expansion? Just call the church “The Tower” if it’s that big of an issue.
Also, Paisley’s headphones looking a bit sus in 42621.
2-wise fern pieces?
My wallet started sweating after seeing some of those Friends sets.
Is that Zobo coming back in 42621 (the...hospital???)? Been a while!

Lego Minecraft continues to disappoint me. Those sets are so weak.. Mob-houses, mob-houses and mob-houses all over. It is impossible to build anything close to minecraft that we know (game) using those sets.
There are so many possibilities, some redstone logic to name one that was never used (ok, we had auto-open door in fortress and levers in jungle temple). End city, woodland mansion,desert pyramid also.
At least, they will run out of mobs to build more mob-houses one day..
I actually looked through the Friends sets to see Nova and what she's up to, but she seems to be absent from the entire wave! This could be a good sign, but it is most likely a bad sign. What evil deeds is she up to?

Well, we did get a jungle temple in 21132 and some additional village structures in sets like 21190 (which was just last year) and 21160. It would be nice to get a desert temple, though; I can't believe how long that's been neglected. An end city is probably my most-wanted MC set, although that might be rather hard to engineer! At least we got shulkers in 21242.
Also, I'm confused about the headphones thing. Paisley isn't even in 42621.

Ha, it made me think of "Lethal Weapon 2"
I dunno, the Friends 42639 looks like someone took a pair of 41106 and stuck them up on a pillar. It could be Livi's house?
71431 suggests there may be some Mario Kart sets on the way?
Really like the mini Bowser set. Hope its less them £40... and the Friend 42639 set is giving me Tracey Island vibes...anyone else?
I wish friends was this good when I was a kid. I have moved on to more collectible themes like Modular’s, Star Wars, and Speed Champions but these look better than any city set when I was younger.
I really am going to need a bigger house
No prices yet? The Bowser w/ car looks exceptional for a £20-30 set, which probably means it'll be closer to £50.
42639 - stunning certainly is the word, what an amazing looking building, I'm quite shocked actually, it's that good.
Once again Lego Friends designers knock it out of the park. I’m sold on all of them except for the Hospital.
Love the buildings, and even the car that comes with the big mansion has some excellent Bugatti Veyron vibes in a Friends style of course.
Also all 5 original "old" friends are included in 42639!
Friends has better architecture at this point than the Architecture line...

I'm thinking of Incredibles 2. I will finally have a place to park Mr. Incredible's Incredibile! (That's his car, for those who don't know)
Also: TRANS YELLOW GARAGE DOOR PARTS! This is NOT a drill!
Oh wow that big Friends house is superb. It almost doesn’t look like lego. Those palms and plants on top (cactus and aloe), the colors even and the architecture is very very nice! Maybe Tony Stark can live there
The two houses set is also real cool.
For the Mario sets i am dissapointed that they didn’t give us recolors of Yoshi we didn’t have already. That egg is good though.
Also the Bowser car is very good. But the same Bowser again. It would be nice if it was cat-Bowser since the car is from Mario 3D world
Finally a house to store some iron man armors in!... Until it gets blowed up.

Actually, Nova's at the mall: https://brickset.com/sets/42604-1
42639 absolutely destroyed my humble 6374
Does 42620 make 41724 Paisley's House obsolete? It doesn't look like she moved (or if so she moved to a house with the same exact number), so I'm just a little confused.
(I'm hoping someone could clear this up, because I wanted to have houses of all 8 new Friends, but now I don't know which one to get!)
Also, in 42621, Autumn is getting a prosthetic hand?? She seemed to be able to get along fine without one in the show, so I'm curious where the designers are taking her character story-wise.

In general I think if I were collecting their houses I'd consider the non-4+ set more "canon", if that makes sense. Though as the theme goes on it would not be surprising to see similar "redundancy"—for instance, if any of the characters who got bedroom sets last year get full houses.
@Toa_of_Pi
41724 is a Juniors version (4+) & 42620 is a "regular" version (7+).
Therefore, if you're collecting all 8 new Friends houses, then I'd go with the 2024 version.
This also happened with Stephanie's house in 41398 and 41314 .
P.S. The 42620 house is gorgeous!
Lego Friends for the win, yet again. Hey City, pay attention!
Really trying to avoid buying Friends stuff but I’m a sucker for a good looking Lego house ;/

Give in!
(Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to avoid them?)
Wow.. that modern abode [42639) is amazing
Friends absolutely crushing it in yet another wave. The Mansion looks spectacular, and I love the recolors for the garage door elements! It's also great finally seeing the other three original friends! If a minifig set came out like this when I was a kid, I would have been spent so much time dreaming of owning it. We also have some amazing new foliage elements! 2x fern elements and composite leaves(as another bricksetter aptly nicknamed them). I'm looking forward to seeing them in more colors and themes.
On to Mario! I love the Bowser hot rod! I spent countless hours playing 3D World with my brothers, so I might consider picking up my first Mario set. If memory serves me right it will also be reasonably priced!

Not to speak for the other guy, but I personally avoid them because I'm nervous about expanding from Minifigures, It's a silly thing, but my collecting across themes is spread far enough at the moment, and I would 100% buy Friends sets if they had minifigures.
Well, there goes my headcanon that Olivia, who was last seen in 41713 , didn't make it back to Earth. Same with Stephanie (41716 ) disappearing somewhere near Bermuda, Emma (41711 and 41712 ) flunking out of art school and working in the public sector for the rest of her life, and Andrea (41714 ) moving off to Hollywood to become an actress, but struggling to get a good role which is further complicated by her taking guardianship of her sister when her parents passed (neither Donna or Martin are seen in 41698 ). This left just Mia ( 41730), who moved out to Heartlake's outskirts, raising her daughter as a single mum, and coping with the loss of many childhood friends...
But it's nice to see a reunion anyway: the mansion looks fantastic. In fact, Friends still seems to be going strong with this wave.
Nice.
I loved the 42639, colors and everything. But the car is atrocious. Oh well, can't win them all.
Why you are stoppin itself? It's all minifig compatibile!
I usually sell my minidolls.

Minidoll themes are extremely strong and the mini dolls themselves are awesome too, I don’t see why you should avoid friends solely because of the mini dolls if you would buy them immediately if they had mini figures…
Wow, the architecture in 42639 is absolutely lit. Lego has been on a tear with this recently.
60365 and 60380 from the City line may not be as impressive, but they do have the same level of pazzaz in my opinion.
I'm glad I'm not a building enthusiast, otherwise I'd have to demolish everything to make room for new stuff... or expand greatly to accommodate.
These Friends sets are just so gorgeous. If only City were half as good...
My guess is 42639 gonna have the biggest piece couunt of the Friends theme?
The buildings recently from Friends are stunning, put this and 41732, 41704 and 41748 together...awesome.
Friends goes Architecture :-)
Friends is becoming too good! Don't have enough money XD

Lack of space, money, and silly minidolls and pink bits.
Now imagine if City sets would be good as the Friends one

Until last year I felt the same. But then noticed that Friends sets were *way* better than City (in terms of variety, and not mostly being based around conflict) so I gave in. I’ve been selective but now have about half a dozen Friends sets and they’re great.
That said, I sell on the minidolls, which are just horrible and minifigures inhabit my Friends world!
I also change all my minifig heads in modulars to classic smileys, as that’s the world I want them to live in!

I was confused as well and I think Mosquitosquisher7 meant 42620 and more precisely HOW the headphones look on her body. It's adult humor so I won't dig deeper into this.
I have to admit though that without the comment I would have never seen this myself, I guess my mind is too innocent. :D
Friends could be majestical if it wasn't for the dolls....
Hm…still waiting on the last couple of Koopalings.
Hoping they’ll get Daisy, Wario, Rosalina, and Waluigi too, seeing as the theme is apparently not done as was briefly feared.

Yeah exactly, who cares about the dolls when the builds are this good

I am sorely tempted to pick up Bowser and his car, despite my waning interest in the current Mario-line.... "
Just when I think I'm done, they pull me back in. (The Boweser car and that Piranha Plant.)
That Friends house 42639 is crazy good. True Malibu Barbi. Barbi colors plus Malibu architecture.
I've never once considered getting a Friends set but that's all going to change with 42639.
The people working on the Friends line sure know how to make 10/10 buildings
That bowser car has gotten his theme from mario 3d world stuck kn my head
The Friends houses 1re really, really beautiful. And overall, the trend on this range tends to go better and better to me. Nice shapes, colors, design choices... Excellent.
It's time to give the Friends designers a crack at the next few modular buildings
The Mansion set 42639 has a Bugatti?!
Yet another year where Friends sets are just way way better than City

"Yet another year where Friends sets are just way way better than City "
Since I am a City fan, I agree due to how friends really went very well with their sets. Including their Mansion set. I was very surprised how the Masion set was very well done, compared to the Downtown set from City this year.
The year was 2028. TLG decides to terminate the production of its original minifig has it has 50 years. Consequences: City core theme is merged into Friends. Brickset announces two new new sets called Friendly Cops rehab Unfriendly Robers and FL-Amy the Fire Chief.
In Heartlake City that's what they still haven't done as well as a harbour.
That baby turtle build is fantastic! Getting all three frog colors in one set is cool. I've missed out on a lot of the animal building sets, but these two are pretty adorable.
At first glance I thought 21252 hand both Skulk and a Shulker and thought LEGO was doing a tribute to How Did We Get Here, but it was just a player in Enchanted Armor. Still more Deep Dark sets are neat, the last one included everything you needed for the Deep Dark so I expected that to be it.
Steve an Alex seem to have new face prints. Odd because the ones they already had were pretty game accurate, if you'd change their designs at all I'd expect duel molding for Alex's boots, but it looks like they might've finally given Steven their darker skin in comparison to Alex. Both's facial expressions are nothing like their faces in the games though, so I wonder if they'll have different faces in every set to add variety now.
21253 seems to come with Efe, one of the new default skins they added this last year. There are seven of 'em, so I find it out that three of this figs are still just random LEGO-original dudes. We still have so many Legacy Console Default skins and Dungeon Skins missing as well.
Pretty cool to finally get a Minecraft Legends set (even though I still haven't played it oops.) The BIONICLE fan in me is a sucker for large buildable figures, and LEGO Minecraft is lacking in spinoff content, so I always regretted not getting the Jungle Abomination. This piggy is my most wanted of the wave. Gotta say though... Dungeons had the exact same artstyle as regular Minecraft, while Legends has it's own look, so this set unsurprisingly is built a bit different than regular LEGO Minecraft sets. Even so that bird thing looks... weird. Legends characters certainly have more edges and are less boxy than regular ones, but it still feels uncanny and like a LEGO Creator model was just plopped in there.
Getting two Yoshis in one set is cool and that Bowser car is aweseome!
Also gonna throw this out there, weird that one of the big hooks of the last Minecraft updates was you could "trim" armor to add decoration, and they have a whole Armory set here that comes with just default gear. Missed opportunity.
