LEGO® Friends room inspection: 41739, 41740, 41754 & 41755 'Room' sets

The January 2023 wave of LEGO® Friends sets bring us forward in the timeline with the original group now all grown up and the introduction of a new group of 8 brand new characters. To get to know them better the theme gives us a look into their rooms with 4 new sets showing their hobbies and interests: 41739 Liann’s Room, 41740 Aliya’s Room, 41754 Leo’s Room and 41755 Nova’s Room. 

The sets average around 200 parts, and are available for £17.99 / €19,99 / $19.99 / AU$32.99. I assume the rooms of the other 4 friends will show up in future?

The concept of rooms is not new for this theme. In 2012, Mia got her own bedroom with 3939 Mia’s Bedroom, and Andrea in 2013 with 41009 Andrea’s Bedroom, though it took until 2018 for the entire group to be given their own. 

Let’s take a peek inside the new rooms.

Animals

In each of the rooms we find a new animal. Going from left to right:

Aira
Animal, Dog Pup with White Spots, Mouth, Paws print is a new print and is also a recolor for the mold in Dark Orange (6416470 | 101135), found in 41740.

Popcorn
Animal, Salamander with Black Eyes, Dark Orange Spots print is also both a new print and recolor for the mold in Bright Light Orange (6416784 | 101304), found in 41739.

Churro
The animal also known as Grumpy Cat is a completely new mold: Animal, Cat, Chubby with Orange Spots, Olive Green Eyes, Grumpy print in White (6428858 | 103320), found in 41754

Pickle
Pickle is likewise a new mold: Animal, Dog / Dachshund with Vibrant Yellow Harness Pattern in Dark Orange (6416764 | 101284), found in 41755.

In front of the animals is a recolor: Plant, Carrot Top in Lime (6420268 | 33183) which also appeared with the LEGO Conservationist Koala Bear Collectible Minifigure from Series 24. I’ve placed it here because, like the animals, it is an element that represents something from nature, and absolutely not because I forgot to include it in the photo with recolors…

Recolors

Speaking of recolors, we get a nice amount of them among the 4 sets. And there is also a new print.

On the back row:

• Panel 1 x 6 x 5 in Dark Azure (6421703 | 59349), found in 41739
• Window Frame 1 x 3 x 3 in Medium Nougat (6422086 | 51239), found in 41740
• Sports Skateboard with Trolley Wheel Holders in Bright Pink (6421704 | 42511), found in 41739

Front row:

• Plate Round Corner 4 x 8 Double in Sand Blue (6424447 | 22888), found in 41740
• Plate 4 x 8 in Light Aqua (6421475 | 3035), found in 41755
• Brick 1 x 6 in Dark Turquoise (6396079 | 3009), found in 41754, one of those elements that surprised me it didn’t exist yet.
• Tile 1 x 6 with Groove in Coral (6425367 | 6636), found in 41739 and 41754
• Tile Special, Splat with Rounded Sides in Bright Pink (6424476 | 80677), found in 41739

• And a new print: Tile 1 x 2 with Phone print in Magenta (6416593 | 101199), found in 41755

Minidolls

Despite there being only 4 sets, we do get all 8 members of the new friends group thanks to each room including a visitor.

In 41739 Liann’s Room we find visitor Autumn and of course Liann herself.

Autumn comes with a new hairpiece, Hair Curly with Thin Braid in Dark Orange (6409765 | 2640). Because Autumn has a congenital limb reduction, a new torso was developed for her which does not have a left hand (6429023 | 100811). The head and legs show a new print on existing molds.

Liann also comes with new hair: Hair Long with Bun in Black (6409763 | 2633). Her head, torso and legs show a new print on existing molds.

In 41740 Aliya’s Room we find Aliya and visitor Paisley. 

Aliya has a new hair piece, Hair Big Curly, Braids in Dark Brown (6409768 | 2644) and a new mold for legs: Minidoll Legs Wide Pants with Medium Lavender Shoes print in Bright Light Blue (6416612 | 101117). Her head and torso show a new print on existing molds.

Paisley also has new hair, I think my favorite out of the whole wave: Hair Long Wavy in Dark Red (6409769 | 2645). The mold also appears in Black in 41732 Downtown Flower and Design Stores. Her head, torso and legs show a new print on existing molds.

In 41754 Leo’s Room we find Leo and Olly.

Leo’s hair is not new, but  Hair Scruffy and Swept Right in Reddish Brown (6284153 | 40938) has appeared in 1 set before back in 2019. His head, torso and legs show a new print on existing molds.

Olly is showing a new hair piece: Hair, Short Pointy, Wavy in Front in Bright Light Yellow (6409759 | 2631). His head, torso and legs feature new prints on existing molds.

And lastly in 41755 Nova’s Room we find Nova and Zac.

Nova has a new hairpiece: Hair Long Wavy/Curly in Tan (6409761 | 2632). The mold also pops up in Magenta in CITY set 60388. She also comes with a new mold for the legs: Minidoll Hips and Folded Trousers with Nougat Legs, Dark Turquoise/White Shoes print in Sand Blue (6430007 | 101347). Her head and torso come with a new print on existing molds.

Zac brings the 7th new hair piece in the batch: Hair Curly with Point, Smooth Back in Black (6409770 | 2646). His head, torso and legs come with a new print on existing molds.

The Builds

Each set contains 2 numbered bags and the larger plates as loose parts.

41739 Liann’s Room

Liann’s room can best be described as creatively chaotic with bins of paints scattered through the room, and paint splashes everywhere. Liann and Autumn are painting, with the salamander Popcorn as their muse. When Popcorn is done posing, it’s back into the terrarium. In the corner we find a place by the window to curl up with a good book or movie and a cup of choco. The bed can be folded up to show more books, though I wonder how they stay in place when the bed is down.

41740 Aliya’s Room

Aliya’s room packs a lot! We find a projector showing what looks like an Elves' movie, a bed that has a second pull-out bed beneath it, and a desk covered with prizes and books. I’m intrigued by these 2 papers found in her desk: with an A+ for what looks to be a chemistry test and an F for a test that only contains text. I look forward to watching the new LEGO Friends show to discover what that's all about!

41754 Leo’s Room

Leo’s room is all about baking and water. It is the only room that has a backside: a small balcony with a scuba helmet and a nice drink. Inside we find an oven with some cakes, a small desk and 2 bunk beds. The camera with ring light suggests Leo vlogs as well. As a side build we get a goal and football. A great detail is the playtoy for the cat Churro. The chubby feline seems not to be impressed with it.

41755 Nova’s Room

Nova is a gamer, with a great gaming chair and setup. Next to her bed we find a bookcase, which can slide into the backwall to reveal a poster of the same movie Aliya is watching. Nova takes care of Pickle, a dachshund she found on the side of the road. Beside gaming, she seems to be handy with tools, fixing Pickle’s rolling harness. Pickle also has a ramp to climb onto the bed. Underneath the bed we find a frisbee.

Conclusion

For sets of this size they pack in great detail that really showcase the new characters and don’t feel repetitive. Each set has its own setup and color scheme, making them feel like individual sets rather than a series and I think the graphic designers knocked it out of the park bringing extra life to the builds. 

There are some useful new and rare elements to be found, and without knowing when they will appear on Bricks&Pieces, the sets form a relatively cheap option to get your hands on them.
