574 pieces for $69.99 is the kind of pricing that makes you double-check the tag — this Friends airplane delivers a full, detailed build at a price point LEGO® rarely offers anymore.
Is the price fair?A+One of the fairest price tags in the Friends lineup — this is what good value actually looks like.
Will you love it?B-A fun, well-sized airplane build with genuine play scenarios baked in.
Holds its value?C-Resale is a non-starter here — this one depreciates and doesn't look back.
The Full Take
The Heartlake City Airplane is one of those sets where the price does a lot of heavy lifting — $69.99 for 574 pieces and a proper airplane build is a genuinely fair deal in a theme that doesn't always deliver on that front. The build itself is solid: a recognizable, colorful aircraft with enough detail to feel complete without overstaying its welcome. Three minifigs round out the experience, giving kids actual characters to drive the story. It won't turn heads at a collectors' meetup, but on a Friends fan's shelf it reads as a polished, purposeful set. The weakest link here is long-term value — this one is built to be played with, not held onto. Buy it for the build and the fun, and you'll walk away happy.
