Inspire creative play with the LEGO® Friends Mobile Bakery Food Cart 42606. People who love role play can act out stories as Aliya visits the Jules’s bakery cart with her pup Aira. The set includes 2 mini-dolls, a dog, a cart, a croissant mascot, and accessories such as food, dishes, money and even a coffee maker. The accessories in this food playset let you create your own stories as you help Jules serve customers from the small toy vehicle. It is a great addition to any Friends or City building to create some fun street activity.
The Bakery Cart is similar to a 3-wheeled tuktuk or auto rickshaw you might find in many tropical and developing countries. The minidolls can sit in the cab of the vehicle or serve bakery items and drinks from the back. The vehicle is light blue, light yellow, black and medium nougat brown. On the side of the Bakery Truck there are four tiles with stickers showing items for sale, drawn as if on a chalkboard. Number one shows a mug and indicates various drinks by arrows pointing from undefined text to the mug. Number 2 has a croissant. Number 3 has two macarons, pink and blue, and an orange cookie. Finally, number 4 has a blue mug with a straw indicating a cold drink, and an orange mug with steam indicating a hot drink. All four have decorative swirls, hearts and flowers. There is also a sticker of the croissant mascot on the roof piece of the vehicle.
The set contains two minidolls and a small dog. The first minidoll is Aliya, who has appeared in many Friends sets. She has dark brown, curly hair, brown eyes and medium brown skin. She is wearing a pink metallic sandals, a dark blue skirt, and a white, blue blouse with a blue checkered vest over it. Aliya’s dog, Aira had floppy ears and is dark orange with tan markings on his front feet, muzzle, and eyebrows.
The second minidoll, Jules, is a new Friends character in 2024, and this set is his first appearance. His hair is medium brown, short and a tad messy, his eyes are blue, and his skin is nougat. He is wearing red and white sneakers, white pants with a white collared shirt, and he has a long yellow apron over his shirt and pants.
A fun extra is a cute brick-built mascot of a croissant wearing a white chef’s toque (hat). It has a sticker of a smiling face giving it a Japanese Kawaii feel. It has black legs and white shoes.
Bakery accessories include a croissant, 2 macarons, cookies, a cookie container, coffee machine, coffee cup, hot chocolate and a cup of tea, plus a coin and a book for Aliya, and a bone for Aira. All these pieces add up to lots of opportunities for imaginative play.
