Random minifig of the day: frnd169

Those Amusement Park sets were cool; definitely one of my favorite Friends waves. If I'm not mistaken, I believe my sister has all of them.

Alright, you know the drill! Lore time!

Andrea is cheerful, funny, a dreamer, and is a bit of drama queen. She is not vain, but loves dressing up fancy and being praised for her performing skills She has four best friends, Emma, Mia, Olivia and Stephanie. She is also friends with Kate, Liza, Jacob, Matthew, Noah, Isabella, Amy, and Daniel. Andrea works at the City Park Café with Marie, and at the Juice Bar with Naya. Andrea loves to write and compose her own songs, and wants to be a singer and songwriter. She also likes dancing, blogging, and animals, especially her white pet rabbit, Jazz. Other pets include Cleo the parrot. Andrea's favorite foods are ice cream and crepes.

Just to make something clear for future Lego friends lore, I’ll pretty much just copy paste from the Lego friends wiki, and another thing to note, this is the 2012-2017 version of the character, but during 2016 Lego friends had a small retool, which changed the girl’s personalities, quite strange if you ask me

That's certainly the most unique quantitiy we've seen so far."

My guess is the Brickset database query returns null if no-one owns a minifig or set, instead of zero, and the Random [minifig|set] of the day post generation code isn't written to catch that null and replace it with a zero.

@Huw, it's a corner case for sure, but something did barf in the autogenerated post system on this one.

Strangely, when one of my friends' daughter has grown out of Lego, he had the idea of giving her Lego's to me :)). For a mere beer and a dinner, of course. This minifigure, along with the set, was in the bunch.

Did not twig those were sunglasses until the description, they just look like a funny little hat like an usher

Look at the 'Minifigs' section of a set. Do you see anything, because it just says there's no minifigs in the set, no matter what the set is... at least for me...

The minifig import failed overnight. "

Is that pretty bad or terrible?

EDIT: It's working again! I no longer have 4 minifigures.

Weird stuff can happen with auto-filled messages. I got a promo email from Lego News last year telling me 'The race is on, %%[IF EMPTY(FIRST_NAME) THEN]%% LEGO® Fan %%[ELSE]%% %%[ENDIF]%%'"

I'm having Portal flashbacks. "You, [SUBJECT NAME HERE[ must be the pride of [SUBJECT HOMETOWN HERE]." although it's entirely possible that GLaDOS is trolling you there.

Hmm, GLaDOS may be masquerading as a hat, now. A rather pointy one, to be more specific.
