Description

A coastal colour scheme

White and light grey cover the lighthouse and station buildings, dark blue stands in for the surrounding sea, and coral supplies bright, warm accents across smaller details and fittings. Coral shows up far less often across the wider Friends range, which gives this set a distinct look on a shelf next to more typically pastel builds. Together, the palette reads clearly as a seaside setting without tipping into overly bright, toy-like tones.

An unusually detailed build

280 unique parts across 622 pieces is a high ratio for a set this size, noticeably higher than many similarly sized Friends sets. That variety shows up in small touches like rescue equipment, window details and fittings rather than long repeated sections, which keeps the build feeling fresh from start to finish. Builders who enjoy spotting new part shapes throughout a set, rather than repeating the same steps, will notice the difference here.

A lighthouse with a working station

Rather than a single tall tower standing alone, the set spreads its build across the lighthouse and several smaller connected areas for equipment, observation and first aid. That layout supports a proper rescue scenario rather than just a static landmark, letting an alarm at the top of the tower lead into a response and recovery scene at ground level. It is a sensible way to fit a working coastal story into a moderate piece count.

Two minifigures, room to grow

With 2 minifigures, the cast is small but enough for a focused two-person rescue scene, one figure stationed at the tower and another handling the response itself. Owners of other Heartlake City sets can easily bring in extra figures for a bigger group scene. The full parts list on this page covers all 280 unique elements and their colours, useful for anyone hunting coral or dark blue pieces for other coastal builds or checking a secondhand set for completeness before buying.
