The Full Take
Heartlake City's latest concept is a hotel for bunnies, which is delightfully unhinged and completely on-brand for the Friends line. At 161 pieces and $20, it sits comfortably in the impulse-buy zone without feeling like a ripoff. The build is compact but the theme does a lot of heavy lifting — this is the kind of set that has a clear personality before you even open the box. Two minifigs is right for the scale, and the animal focus gives it a specific charm that straight-up house or café sets can't always match. It's not trying to be a centerpiece; it's trying to be a good time, and it mostly succeeds. Friends fans who've been collecting themed locations will find it slots in nicely, even if it won't be the crown jewel of the shelf.
