With 2025 just around the corner, LEGO Friends and minidoll fans have some exciting new sets officially revealed for a 1st of January 2025 release date. A total of 18 set will be hitting shelves in just a couple of weeks with three sets in particular standing out to us: 42656 Heartlake City Airport and Airplane, 42669 Beekeepers House and Flower Garden and 42670 Heartlake City Apartments and Stores.
The first of these that we're putting under the spotlight, 42656 Heartlake City Airport and Airplane, is the first LEGO Friends Airport since 2015's 41109 Heartlake Aiport. 2025s set is a substantial upgrade with a white and green passenger airplane included along with an extremely colourful and detailed aiport building. This airport includes a check-in desk, a security gate, an X-ray machine, a turning luggage carousel and much more.
42669 Beekeepers House and Flower Garden sounds like your stereotypical LEGO Friends set coming in with around 300 to 500 pieces. But in reality, the 2025 model includes over 1,000 elements with a piece count of 1,161. The extremely detailed nature-themed build is another beautifully crafted model from the LEGO Friends theme, raising awareness for bees yet being a perfect and unique addition to a LEGO city.
Last but not least is 42670 Heartlake City Apartments and Stores - the biggest set releasing in this wave for the LEGO Friends theme with a total of 2,040 pieces. On paper, this sounds like a set on the same scale and template as both 41704 Main Street Building and 41732 Downtown Flower and Design Stores which included 1,682 pieces and 2,010 pieces respectively. But 2025's 42670 combines the busy shopping life with a more relaxing residential life with highly detailed and imaginative flats.
