Ooh, that reddish-purple color on the house looks very nice. One of the main upsides of Friends sets.

Bunny makes a lot of mess for a broom that big.

I bought a friends set today.

They should have turned the spout on that water bottle to the side, so that the fact that the piece used for the nozzle doesn't have a hole would be less distracting...

@Miyakan: I'm guessing it wasn't this one.

No, it was 41717 Retail is $80 here, but I got it for $35.

I hope Andrea has a good understanding about "rabbit starvation" (aka protein poisoning), and why she'll need to supplement her diet with foods that are high in polyunsaturated fats, so she doesn't end up like Chris McCandless.

I have to say, watching the Friends style evolve, over the years, to use less and less studs, is interesting.

I liked the Friends theme before they went crazy with the colors. Look how nice and breezy this set is.

Nice to see Moana broadening her interests

Bunny!

Why is there only one bunny in the house?

@Givememorebricks: You've reminded me of a line from Hogan's heroes: "Carter, my boy, let me tell you something. There is no such thing as *one* rabbit"

Well, it's 'bunny' house not 'bunnies house'

I don't remember this one at all. Not in the slightest. Weird. Probably because it was a wave 2 set, which was 1) overshadowed by the summer themed sets and 2) this product image is arranged differently than the standard image seen on the box and in catalogs.

@Binnekamp I don't remember this either and I have a lot of the animal related sets.
Either a lot of the early sets had very limited release or my memory is just terrible.

That fence is nothing to a bunny. It only wants to stay there to lull you into a sense of complacency, and then before you know it, he'll be gone, and formulating revenge plans for thinking you could cage him up.

@legodachi:
Oddly, it’s not legal in the county where Las Vegas is located, so you have to go a bit farther than the outskirts of the city.

@MCLegoboy:
Tim the Magician has a few words of caution about that rabbit, I tell you.

Not used to seeing Friends sets with 4 digit set numbers, in the same way that I wasn't used to seeing Town/Space sets with 3 digit numbers as a kid.

@Ridgeheart: I'm reminded of the Mythbusters episode (that Discovery refused to air once they saw how things had come out) where they were testing the idea that the cardboard box the cereal comes in was just as nutritious as the cereal. One of the test mice ate the other mice because no, the cardboard wasn't giving it nearly enough nutrition.
