Crab!
Bees'll buzz, kids'll blow dandelion fuzz
And I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer
A drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand
Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer
I'll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm
And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm
And I can't wait to see what my buddies all think of me
Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer
The hot and the cold are both so intense
Put 'em together, it just makes sense
Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle
But put me in summer, and I'll be a... happy snowman!
When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream
Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam
Oh, the sky will be blue, and you guys'll be there too
When I finally do what frozen things do in summer
"I'm gonna tell him." "Don't you dare!"
In summer!
A Snowman's Demise
Perfect timing, as it is indeed summer.
“Hands down, this is the best day of my life…. and quite possibly the last.”
"I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat."
"NOPE!"
GET OUT OF THERE OLAF YOU ARE A SNOWMAN
Whoa Lego, don't include too many builds!
An imagine spot song is a pretty concise subject for a polybag, which means this polybag is excellent at depicting the scene without anything else. Well done! I like the variety of objects, and that some have a decent size. And back then it was really nice to see Olaf available in a smaller set.
... too bad it was a GWP. At least it might have been sold on its own in some places like polybags usually are. And it's not a theme,one-off license or remake of a classic set you'd miss out on if you don't get it in the GWP period.
So this is a before and after thing where the rightmost model is what he's going to become, right? XD
Hey, we have that one.
From the days gone by when our daughters still played with LEGO.
Happy times.
LEGO presents: Disney presents: Frozen presents: Olaf's "Last Rites of Summer"
I just noticed the radio. Was Arendelle more technologically advanced then we thought? Or did Olaf's imagination that good?
"Winter's a good time
To stay in and cuddle
But put me in summer
And I'll be a--
HAPPY SNOWMAN!!!"

On a different note, I can't get over how bald Olaf looks here; even though his hair is only ever comprised of just three sticks, so you'd think it wouldn't make much of a difference. I'm glad they eventually added a piece to represent them to his 'minifigure' design, although I'm surprised it took them a full half decade to do so.
This one was a fun little addition to my citys beach, like vacation santa and the droids escape pod.
This set has a special feeling to me... my first ever GWP. Bought 70818 & 75902 when I got it, and it was at that time my interest in LEGO came back after just over 10 years away

If you don't already have him, you should get Beach Vader (https://brickset.com/minifigs/sw1239/darth-vader-summer-outfit) and his sand castle (https://brickset.com/article/84494/star-wars-advent-calendar-day-13) to add to that scene.
