Insights

Released as a magazine gift in the Friends line, Dolphin and Beach is a promotional item whose magazine-exclusive distribution created only moderate scarcity and broad initial supply, and the lack of a unique minifigure plus common parts points to mild, uneven post-retirement interest rather than strong investment potential.

Set Facts

The dolphin set came with issue #14 of the LEGO Friends magazine.

About Friends Magazine Gifts

These are the small packs that come with LEGO Friends Magazine, which is made by Blue Ocean, the Stuttgart publisher of LEGO's magazines. Unlike the Ninjago and City magazines, the gift is usually a small build rather than a figure, a pet with its basket, a market stall or a piece of furniture.

Friends Magazine Gifts was introduced in 2014 and currently consists of 112 sets.
