42604

LEGO Friends set 42604, Heartlake City Shopping Mall, depicts a shopping mall in the Heartlake City setting. Released in 2024, it contains 1237 pieces and belongs to the Friends theme, which focuses on everyday city life and character interaction.

Heartlake City Shopping Mall adds a public retail setting to the LEGO Friends range. It is part of the Heartlake City environment rather than an outside licence, placing it alongside other Friends locations built around social scenes, hobbies and everyday activities.

The set includes 1237 pieces and 7 mini-doll characters: Victoria - Orange Dress, Michelle, Tan Skirt, Irene, Petch, Nova - Black Top, Bright Light Yellow Shorts, Liann - Lime and Coral Shirt, Lime Pants and Aliya - Lime and Bright Green Tartan Shirt, Red Pants. The French retail title refers to a mall with toy shops, so the model is clearly framed as a role-play location for shopping and meeting up.

This set is relevant for builders expanding a Heartlake City layout, especially where a large shared venue is needed. It also has collecting interest through its named character line-up. Within Friends, it sits among the urban buildings that can support both display and story-based play.
