Guess this is what Huwbot will have for a secondary girls' theme instead of Clikits until 2022, when Friends sets would be possible for the RSOTD.
HA!
I KNEW IT!
I mentioned Belville in another review comment, and here we are! Lol
TWENTY-SEVEN DOLLARS???
Admittedly, I've gotten into Belville dolls. I've recently started having a flair for 3 3/4" action figures, and Belville are pretty close. Good articulation and inexpensive, I almost always throw a couple in my Bricklink orders if a seller has new ones.
But, they suck in terms of the sets. There isn't much actual building, and the dolls are twice the size of a minifig.
Oh my god, those doors are gorgeous!
Belville buildings weren't so much sets as they were just ... walls.
I do like all those gorgeous transparent pieces, though.
Just a guess, but I’m guessing these sets came in an era when Lego wa trying to appeal to younger buyers and builders, who wanted a quick build-to-play toy and didn’t care about realism.
in the same way you could see ninjago dna in yesterday's exo-force, you can see friends dna in this belville.
I kind of want those translucent tower top pieces though...
You have to admit - some of the Belville pieces were really nice. They even use that big snowflake piece to this day.
Just browsed through the theme's sets and I had no idea the theme ran for so long. Twelve years!! That's an eternity for today's standards..
Not my thing this theme, though I like some parts in it. Besides the transparant medium-blue ice crystal pieces I see 1x1 and 1x3(?) bricks in light aqua colour, a trans medium-blue 1x2 brick and besides that teddy bear is that a lamp post in the background in teal?!
That gate would be great for Elsa castle moc!
And now they put the ice crystal in the newest Xtra pack :D
It says 2 minifigs. I thought those where figures not minifigures.
RIP trans-medium blue.
And...we're back to the "normal" random set selection! Maybe Castle, Space and Star Wars will return some day.
Huh. That’s a thing that exists.
