* WorthlessTreasureTwist: In the reboot series, half of season 2 is about Carter Green's obsessive search for a sunken treasure. [[spoiler: When he eventually finds the treasure chest, he screams in rage about it being full of worthless old junk and leaves without claiming it. Curious as to what the treasure actually is, the Friends look inside and find historical artefacts instead, as well as a handwritten note telling them "the true treasure was the adventure."]]

** With the huge, unexpected success of the Friends line of sets, several of Lego's top rivals – most notably Mega Bloks – introduced their own line of sets targeting girls. Mega Bloks' answer to Friends was Barbie, a collaboration with Mattel to introduce marry the iconic doll line to construction set-style playsets, the idea possibly being that girls wanted to play with girl-type sets and with brands and names that were familiar to them, rather than the (previously unknown) Friends and with sets that had the girls engage in interests other than fashion, fun and boys as the Barbie line had for years. (In fact, the Lego Friends – contrary to initial criticism that they were engaged in girl-only interests – quickly developed interests ranging from music to sports to agriculture to zoology; so far, Mega Bloks' Barbie sets have strictly stuck to doll and fashion sets.)
