This little polybag came as a surprise to me in January 2014 when I placed an online order containing a Friends set. It comes with mini doll Stephanie, a small stand, and a handful of Lego food items, two of which are brand new to me.
Steffie is a character I seem to get a lot in the Friends sets I've bought, so perhaps my interests are the same as hers. I never assemble or even take the figures out of the bags as I have no use for them. For the sake of completion however, I can show you that she is wearing a printed green tank top and a short pinkish skirt.
Keep in mind this was a free promotional item, so one shouldn't expect too much from it. In the past, I've gotten some with a much higher piece count, but that was with a minimum $75 purchase, whereas this seemed to be free with any Friends set.
Lego Kane is manning (personing?) the stand which you can see doesn't have any Friends to normal Lego scale issues. The stand itself is a basic build with cute pink and magenta slope pieces as an awning.
The food is the best part of the little set and we get 5 different items, with two of them showing up in the extras. The model sandwich appears to be tomato and lettuce or cucumber and we also get a dish of strawberry ice cream, a pretzel, a special printed cookie, and a printed strawberry used as a sign here. The pretzel has so far been seen in 7 sets of which I have 4 so while still delightful, it isn't a new item to me. However, the strawberry and cookie printed round tiles are. The cookie is in 5 other sets and the strawberry in only one other.
A very nice assortment of extras, since this was both a small set and a free one at that. I'm overjoyed to have extras of the cookie and strawberry tiles and the pink ice cream piece is useful to have as well.
