LEGOFriends 41027 Mia's Lemonade Stand

Mia's Lemonade Stand is quite possibly my favorite of the $10 Friends sets to date. The accessories are spot-on, the scooter is great, and Lego has finally included printed bricks instead of stickers! I'm really tickled about that and I hope they go the printed brick route more in future Friends sets.The included Mia mini doll has a new printed green top and a layered pink skirt. She has both a dark pink hair bow and a helmet for her scooter. I think she may be my favorite Mia yet! The floral printing on her shirt is very nice.The lemonade stand, while not an amazingly impressive construct in itself, comes fully equipped with five lemons, two limes, a juicer, a pitcher & two glasses, printed cookies, silver coinage & $100 bill, buildable cupcakes, a flower vase, and a colorful printed sign. It's basically everything you could ask for to sell lemonade and then some! It might have been nice to have some clear yellow 1x1 dots to put in the top of the pitcher and cups, but it's still a great setup without them. The accessories really make this set!The extra pieces are really nice, too. I got an extra cookie, lever, visor, bricks to build an extra cupcake, and more. Always appreciated.The one thing I don't get is why the helmet is designed so that the visor doesn't actually cover Mia's face. I'm not familiar with these helmets in real life so maybe they're trying to be more realistic or something? I don't know. It's a tiny detail anyway I guess.Overall, whether you're buying this set as a collector or for a child, you can't go wrong! It's a strong value and a lot of fun. I was an entrepreneur as a child and I'm a business owner today because of it, so it does my heart good to see Lego encouraging entrepreneurial play.

This set is a total winner. While very small, it effectively conveys the lemonade stand concept and is cheaply priced at $10. For that price, you get Mia the minidoll in an attractively printed outfit, and a bow for her hair. The stand itself is attractively colored, as all Friends sets are, and there is not an overuse of the color pink. The details are delightful--a plate of cookies (no stickers, these are actually printed bricks), and cleverly designed cupcakes and juice machine that are built out of bricks rather than molded plastic. The sign for the lemonade stand is also a printed brick, which is surprising given how often Lego uses stickers these days. The lack of stickers to apply in this set makes it very young child-friendly. In addition to the stand, we get a chair for Mia and a crate full of brick-built lemons and limes.The highlight of this set is the mint green scooter! Brings to mind vintage Vespa scooters. Mia can ride this while holding the handlebars, and a helmet that can be swapped out for her hair is included so that she can be safe. Although the scooter isn't directly related to the concept of a running a lemonade stand, it is a very nice inclusion, and an appropriate means of transportation to and from the stand.With all these fun elements, this is a very playable and fun set for kids. It is well worth the $10.

I've heard a lot of criticism for Lego making a "girls" line, and while I agree with some of the points made I have to say this set is super cute and my daughter loves it, LOL! So sorry critics. we also have a huge bin of regular legos so she can pick what she likes. She is enjoying adding to the Friends sets and the houses, etc are really fun. I was thrilled to see her build a house and follow all the directions herself without any assistance at all (she's 8). Having lots of fun making a town and using Friends and plain old Legos to be creative and it's not TV/electronics so no complaints from me!

Way over priced! This is like a $9 set, not $18 that I paid. It was so embarrassing when this was all I had for a birthday gift. I'm sure the legos are just fine, but this is a TINY set.I have bought tons of lego sets in my day, and never have I been so ripped off.

This is a delightful toy for children who are lego fans. The parts assemble to form a lovely lemonade stand. My only quibble is that the pieces are very small and can easily be lost.

Bought this as a gift. It was a big hit. Very nice little set.

My 8 year old daughter loves the LEGO Friends playsets and this one was a present for her birthday. She loved it and put it together easily and quickly. While she will play with regular LEGO bricks, she definitely enjoys the LEGO Friends series. Most of them are very empowering to girls as well, encouraging them to view science, entrepreneurship, and more as a possible future, while having fun in the present.

This is one of the small add-on kits, but still so much fun! The blue Vespa is adorable! If your daughter likes the Lego Friends series as much as mine does, this is a great stocking stuffer.

Good

GREAT BUT HORRIBLY OVER-PRICED, AS ARE ALL LEGO PRODUCTS SINCE THEY "REINVENTED" THEMSELVES. WHAT CAN KIDS DO WITH IT ONCE ITS BUILT ?

Ok, since my niece has a few kits, it's really the moped in this that makes this kit great! Mia has to remove her hair to put the helmet on, but otherwise she can ride the moped and put her bunny (from another kit) in the basket on the back. The lemon aid stand itself is OK too, but for me and my niece we like the accessories better!

I was really disappointed after waiting weeks for this item to arrive, paying extra above my prime subscription for shipping for it to be the size that is readily available at Walmart stores for less than $20. Not sure what makes this in the mind of the seller worth $65. I should have read more carefully. The money does not flow quite so easily from everybody's home. Ours is on a budget and the $70-$100 dollar range is considered a major gift item. The 19th of December and now I have to search for something for my youngest grandchild's "Big gift". So disappointed!!

Lego is always great. it is a small set but very cute and she loves to play with it :)
