Adorable in-hand, but at this scale it reads more like an accessory pack than a centerpiece — shelf collectors will want something bigger to anchor it.

The Full Take
The dog-grooming car concept is one of those ideas that sounds silly until you see it built, and then it just works. Two minifigs, a bath station, a blow dryer, and an actual dog crammed into a $9.99 package — LEGO® didn't phone this one in. The build is light but the scene reads completely, which is harder to pull off at this scale than it looks. Friends has been quietly nailing these small-set moments, and this is a clean example of why. It won't dominate a shelf and it won't flip for profit, but as a snapshot of what the Friends line does well, this is a strong one.
