LEGO has unveiled pictures and info for the latest set in the LEGO Icons Botanical Collection. The set is called Tiny Plants and features 9 plants in dark orange pots. The set is set for release December 1st and can already be pre-ordered for £44.99/€49.99/$49.99. The set consists of 758 pieces and instructions are made so 1-3 people can build on this set simultaneously.
At first glance I’m a little torn on this set. It sure has some nice pieces and part choices. Lime cake frosting, purple butterflies, dark red brushes, yellowish green hats among others. But on the other hand a big chunk of the piece count goes into making rather similar pots and the part counts for the actual plants appears to be limited.
