A LEGO Friends Pop Star movie?!

I have just come across this movie audition info posted back in November, 2014.
Here's what it said on one site:

Wanna be in the upcoming LEGO FRIENDS movie?

LEGO Elves official images

LEGO Elves due out March 2015 have characters in mini-doll form and a storyline full of imagination.

 (Click image above for more images, set information, and links to videos)

     The sets are: The Elves' Treetop Hideaway (41075), Azari and the Magical Bakery (41074), Farran and the Crystal Hollow (41076), Naida's Spa Secret (41072), Naida's Epic Adventure Ship (41073), and Aira's Creative Workshop (41071).  Those name all belong to Elves.  The human in the story is Emily Jones.
     The teaser display at some retailers reads: Home to find she must be clever ...
Unity is needed more than ever ...
      Notice the Treetop Hideaway set indicates "suggested" age starting at 8, whereas the rest start at age 7.  These builds are a natural progression in complexity for kids (and adults fans) starting out with LEGO Friend sets.  The LEGO Group always said Friends was just the beginning of themes which may gain more girl builders.  So far there's lots of excitement 'buzz' around these and the core audience will no doubt welcome it -- as well as loads of other fans!  
   There are two additional sets that have been found on databases, no images yet: See images below: Aira's Pegasus Sleigh (41077) and Skyra's Mysterious Sky Castle (41078), which are due out in June.  With three Toy Fairs coming in the next 2 months, hopefully more will be revealed ...

~~~Update with images of the June sets~~~

This Nuremberg toy fair image has the Pegasus wings on the wrong sides and 

upside down, feathers pattern should be on top, so they arch up from the body.

Heartlake City to open at Legoland Florida Summer 2015

Legoland Billund (Denmark) has a Friends Heartlake City area -- the same type of zones are being built at Legoland California (USA) and Legoland Windsor (UK), and now we have confirmation a LEGO Friends Heartlake City will be built at Legoland Florida (USA).  The 3 newer ones are to open Summer 2015.
   The already existing gift shop will be re-configured as Heartlake Shopping Mall, and there will be a Friends-style Ice Cream Shop, Horse stables themed area and carousel rides, building zones, performing stage and a Friends Rescue attraction!
   For those Legolands with hotels, many will also have a new Friends-themed room guests can reserve to stay in while at the park.

All Legolands are owned by Merlin Entertainment.

LEGO requests Feedback on Friends hair pieces:
   Do you like the rubbery feel of them -- are they easy to build with -- does the texture allow for easy clutch -- how do they compare to traditional hairpieces of minifigures -- do you like the colors -- what is your experience on the play value -- how about their realism aspect ...?

Review: 41086 Vet Ambulance

Last summer Emma was busy riding on her Jungle Bike and looking out for troubled animals in the jungle. Clearly, she was good at it, as she is now hired to do the same back at home in Heartlake City! She drives her cute little ambulance around town making sure there is no animal in need of medical assistance. Oh no, Jojo the hedgehog tumbled down from the bush! Let’s take her to the Vet Clinic where Mia, our vet in training, is waiting!

The FriendsBricks community wishes to thank TLG’s CEE Team for generous support of this set to review and share with fans. Box Art: Front. Unlike my previously reviewed sets, this set was purchased in a US store, so there is a lot more information written on the front side of the box. I prefer the simplicity of the European version. Box Art: Back. Although this is a set featuring Emma mini-doll, the star of the set actually appears to be the hedgehog as the cute drawings suggest! Box Contents: 1 Booklet & 2 Bags

Review: 41085 Vet Clinic

Friends have a new express Vet Clinic to visit with their pets! Mia is a natural at caring for animals. She started learning in the first Heartlake Vet (3188) in 2012. This new curvy clinic may seem small, yet it has all the medical equipment and supplies needed.
There's also a playground for some fun therapy -- the best prescription!

Box art - front - new Aqua blue flanges on both sides and Aqua ribbon indicate Vet sub-theme.


Angled view to highlight the new Aqua blue flange -- with box art of the animals in this set carried over onto it. It helps identify the Vet sub-themes sets and is very sweet!


Box art - back - showing just some of the clinics functions for play all those animal needing care. Close-up of medical tools, and the Vet Ambulance (41086) that complements this set.

Happy 3rd Birthday LEGO Friends!

May you one day be "nostalgic" to some future adults who remember you as their first childhood LEGO sets!
