First the Friends gang were into food: lemonade stands, bakery, ice cream etc. I like the idea of jungle sets, but why all the rescues? I'm sure they could have more adventures than rescuing a monkey or teddy bear.

^ Well, obviously kids can play however they want, but I think it's just another part of TLG's (seemingly) concerted effort to subversively drive "girl toys" in a different direction from the superficial (shopping, beauty, etc..) to more activity-based (soccer, karate, magic...). Jungle Rescue is more than just a "let's look at the pretty animals" and more a directed storyline of the Friends characters taking an active part in saving the environment/animals.

Sure, there is still the Heartlake Mall in this wave, and it's one of the larger sets, but it's overshadowed by the number of Jungle Rescue sets being released.

I know from my daughters play style that it's all about the animals. Horses, cats, dogs, anything cute and furry. I'm betting the R&D department picked up on this little nugget as a way to drive sales.

Just look at Unikitty with the LEGO movie. A brilliant move on expanding interest to girls (and boys secure enough to admit they like cute too).

I expect we will have enough heart lake animals to build a Zoo soon.
