LEGO Friends Snow Resort Hot Chocolate Van 41319 (246 Pieces)

A fantastic set - the children absolutely loved this set as they love skiing!

This set was an awesome set. It was super cute! I liked that there was also slides. Everything is so cool. The van has loads of different things you can play with. I would totally recommend this to a friend. I like that it is snow because it is something new and awesome!

My daughter is 7 years old and was able to follow the picture directions with no assistance. The price is reasonable and the overall idea of children building legos encourages engineering.

My daughter loved 0utting together all of the Snow resort bldgs & cars.

I bought this set for my 5 year old boy who saw it and fell in love with the toboggan slide when he saw it! Great build , which he was able to do alone with help only to apply stickers straight , lots of details like making the sleds in a way that the girls can hold them, a hot chocolate machine, and even a little milk carton! This is our first Lego friends set as the marketing comes across as exclusionary and it's a hit! It was nice to hear him saying " oh my hot chocolate is too hot! Let's put some snow in it ! " or "let's race down the hill! " instead of the usual weapon sounds and conflict many of the "traditional" Lego sets for his age group depict ( super Heroes/villains and Lego city seems overly populated with cops/robbers scenarios) overall a very fun set! My son has already used our existing bricks (the "L" shaped ones with a curve on the inside ) to build makeshift extensions to the slides and build more sleds because they need to race down a bigger hill :) , we will try to get more of already made tubes because it uses less bricks. We took a look at some others and many of the friends collections could have been made in a less gendered platform perhaps? The packaging is definitely alienating. I mean an amusement park coaster and games etc would appeal to all children! I'm hoping Lego city will add fun winter sets along these lines. We definitely will add more Lego friends sets to our collection and encourage him to see past the colours on the box because there is tons of play value that is less violent.

Adorable Hot Chocolate Van! The entire vehicle is very nice. I love how the greens, pinks, and blues create an almost winter/summer feel. The accessories are really cool as well, and my siblings and I love the mini dolls in this set especially. The one thing no one in my family likes about this set is the double slide . . . I don't get the point. It's just an extra, useless thing that simply makes the set cost more. Honestly, LEGO is getting very lazy with their new staircases, slides, and support beams. Very unimpressive, and unattractive. When my Dad sees something like that, he is especially angry, because he grew up with the old LEGOS, where you pretty much had to build every piece that took several bricks to make, when now, it only takes one, giant brick. "It takes away the creative, challenging building experience" Dad says, and I completely agree. It's no fun if everything is already "put together" for you. My entire family is very disappointed in LEGO for making such big, unnecessary bricks. However, the van and mini dolls alone are very nice, but to me, this set is only worth about $15.
