The technique and part choice are reminiscent of earlier roses in the Icons Botanical Collection. Like in the ‘Dried Flower Centerpiece (10314)’. With a release in January this set will be perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day. So surprised your beloved LEGO fan with a bouquet of bricks instead of actual flowers. You can be sure these will last quite a bit longer!

LEGO® Botanical Collection Blooms With Bouquet of Roses

Today, the LEGO Group revealed a timeless classic to the LEGO® Botanical Collection: LEGO® Icons Bouquet of Roses.

A joy to build, this LEGO radiant bouquet depicts a dozen red roses – including four in full bloom, four blooming and four in bud – plus a scattering of small white flowers. Place the floral bunch in your favourite vase for a touch of elegant home decor that brightens any room, whether displayed at home or in the office.

The LEGO® Icons Bouquet of Roses is a thoughtful gift, either as an indulgent present to yourself or as a treat to a loved one to celebrate a special occasion. The building process has been designed to be enjoyable and easy: the set comes with separate instructions for the three flowering stages, making it perfect for a mindful solo project or great as a bonding group activity with friends and family.

The LEGO® Icons Bouquet of Roses joins LEGO® Icons Tiny Plants, which was also recently added to the Botanical Collection. The building set contains nine tiny plants, each from an arid, tropical and even carnivorous species, that are nestled in its own terracotta coloured plant pot. A great gift for gardening fans and plant lovers, this set is the perfect project to enjoy with friends and family, with different models for easy, medium and advanced builders.

What’s more, there is also a digital version of the building instructions available in the LEGO Builder app. Here, you can also discover a space for relaxation with the inspiring range of LEGO creative building projects designed specifically for adults. These have been introduced after finding 80% of adults are actively seeking new ways to unwind, with the vast majority (87%) adding that play helps them relax and feel calm (Play Well Study 2022 research).

The new LEGO® Icons Bouquet of Roses will be available from January 1, 2024, via LEGO stores, lego.com and from select leading retailers around the world. For more information, please visit: www.lego.com/adults-welcome/botanical-collection

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.

Watch creativity grow
No green thumb needed as you craft these 9 tiny plants to fill your home with joy. The LEGO® Icons Tiny Plants showcase a range of arid, tropical and even carnivorous species, with each plant nestled in its own terracotta-coloured plant pot. A great gift for gardening fans and plant lovers, this set is the perfect project to enjoy with friends and family, with different models for easy, medium and advanced builders.

Rainforest champions
Tropical plants like the jade plant, false shamrock and laceleaf thrive in warm, humid conditions.

Captivating creations
Carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap, red sundew and the pitcher plant can lure and trap their prey.

Desert survivors
Succulents, prickly pear and pincushion cacti thrive in hot, windy climates with very little rain.

On first glance the final product stays rather true to the original, which is awesome! the wheel for operating the moving elements has moved to the back, some colours were changed to make it look a bit more refined, but other than that I don’t spot any major changes.

So what do you think of this GWP, will you pick it up when released? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Before I discuss the rumour and it’s potential in more detail there needs to be a big disclaimer of course! These are unconfirmed rumours and should be treated as such. I consider the sources credible enough to post about it, but at the same time release schedules can and might change. Sets being cancelled last-minute also has been occuring. So take this with a healthy pinch of salt.

After we’ve seen the release of Eldorado Fortress this year, it’s rumoured we will see 2 new nostalgic sets released next year. These are rumoured to be part of a new ‘LEGO Moments‘ subtheme as originally shared by @brick_clicker.

The first of these will be number 10391, a large black spaceship (possibly Blacktron) containing 966 pieces with 2 minifigures. This set will probably release in April 2024. The second set, numbered 10392, is also claimed to be part of this LEGO Moments subtheme. However no specifics are rumoured about this set at the moment.

Furthermore there have been rumours going round in the last few months that 2024 will see the return of BIONICLE. These rumours are also unconfirmed at the moment but it’s possible that a BIONICLE set would fit in the nostalgic LEGO theme. Other rumours suggest a Medieval Market might be on the cards, finally bringing back the Goat figure. Time will tell if any of these rumours come true.

So what are you hoping for? What would you love to see returning if LEGO produces more nostalgic sets? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

These are the Disney Villains Collection (43227) and Disney Duo’s (43226).

The Disney Villains Collection (43227) does remind me a lot of the Harry Potter Icons collection (76391). Featuring several buildable objects refering to Disney movies. The set contains 1,540 pcs, including 4 minifigures and will retail for $129.99.

The Disney Duos collection (43226) includes 8 buildable characters which include Moana, Pocahontas, Beauty and The Beast and Finding Nemo. This set contains 553 pieces costing $44.99.

What do you think of these 2 new Disney 100 sets? Will you be picking up one or both sets? Share your thoughts in the comments!

The reveal comes from The Brothers Brick as they, and others, have received review copies of  new LEGO Architecture set, Taj Mahal, and a new addition to the LEGO Botanical line, Birds of Prey. 

Both sets are speculated to launch in selected regions 1st June.
