Today I'm reviewing the set: 41135 Livi's Pop Star House. This set another Friends house and is the biggest Friends pop star set. Will the biggest become my favourite, let's find out in the review:

The box[edit | edit source]

The box of the set has the other amusement park sets. I really like the addition of the neon lights and colours to spice up the regular Friends design.. Most of the images on the back of the box, are available on our article: 41135 Livi's Pop Star House.

The contents[edit | edit source]

We get 5 numbered bags that contain 597 bricks, plus the extra ones to the side. We get an extra piece of sushi, two warm gold accessory holders and two warm gold 1x1 plates! The sticker sheet is very instresting too, this year TLG has ditched the "only 5 colours rule" for stickers and prints! This sheet features 7 colours, including white!

The build[edit | edit source]

The build, like the other friends sets is easy and the instructions are quick to follow.

If your interested to see what each bag builds:

Livi has a new torso, that has a large star on the front, which I do like. I would've liked to see her without her makeup and died hair, just for some variation. Her over skirt is in a new colour and has a new gold star print.

Andrea's new torso is pretty nice. I like the frilly jacket over her aqua top. Her face, skirt and hair are pretty common. Her over skirt is white and has various gold dots printed on one side. It's a shame Andrea was included. I would've preferred Livi's parents, manager or even a boyfriend. Why where only two characters included anyway? 41106 Pop Star Tour Bus had three...

Cookie is the same as before, a Dalmatian with black spots, some of which are music themed.

This set is four stars for me in every way possible! The build is nice but there's some strange additions, such as the stairs and windows looking into the bathroom. The interior is really nice, but I wish there was a counter in-between the stools. White isn't a particularly rare colour, but the other parts have a lot of variety and some are rare. The playability would've been increased; if there was a slide or diving board into the pool, some vehicle for Livi or even another character. The price seems steep in the sense the tour bus has a similar number of pieces, but is $5 less. I do really like this set, but I think small differences could've made it better. What do you think of this set? Let me know in the comments!

Anyways, thanks for reading my review! I hope you liked it <3 Soup
