Funny. The flower stem piece isn't a piece they make any more, and the flowers aren't either, but the flowers aren't the ones usually associated with that stem piece.

I'm going to take that one lime stud to be an actual lime, which means we can...

Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh...

Only been a few days since we had her as RFotD, now here she is storming back onto the front page on a beach buggy

Fun little set, I've built the buggy with my spares for regular minifig. Good build.

Someday, somebody should make a list of each Friend's vehicle fleet. I bet there's a reason we've seen Olivia's house, but haven't seen her garage. It's probably the size of a Costco.

Always thought this was an interesting method to make the coconut palm, but it's too straight. The old palm trunk parts from the original Pirates theme are sorely missed.

Olivia ate the last of it.

I like how the palm tree actually has coconuts. That's a fun inclusion. The stem is also an interesting technique. That was the most memorable thing about this set though. Being an early Friends set it was quite simple and didn't look particularly good. I think we've gone the opposite direction now, with some Friends sets looking like a parts-heavy MOC instead of a product with the fat trimmed out.

Or she doesn’t have one at all, and just whips out an AmEx Black anytime she needs to get somewhere. Heartlake City could be littered with the discarded toys of the 1%.

Huwbot must be thinking of my collection, because this is the second Friends set selected in the past week that I happen to own! I also find it interesting that Olivia has appeared twice during the past few days as well, being selected as random minifig just the other day. This set isn't one we had out for very long, but I still have some memories playing with this one, and we especially loved the buggy itself and the side builds too. I also plan to assemble this one again and stage a race against the yellow dune buggy from 60082 .

Well, it and trans-neon orange *were* delicious, so I can't really blame her.
