Hey! How about a lego bonsai review?

[@387FanGatwick]

Not only for adults but also for kids

[@BenGoldNYC]

As someone who loves Lego but doesn’t want to look like I have “toys” in my apartment, I think the orchids are stunning

[@moronsmorons8913]

Yep. No need be be ashamed of your Star Wars and Harry Potter Collections. This could pass a sophisticated irony and will look good in front of your books from Wittgenstein.^^

[@philasopherr]

I’m just curious, what is undesirable to you about having toys in your apartment?

[@qwertstgs4020]

"They're not toys mom they clearly said 18+ on the box"

[@jorgerangel2390]

Why wouldn't you want to have toys in your apartment?

I have to give major props to the orchid’s designer. My nephew sat less than a meter away from it and he still had to look twice before realizing it was made of LEGO.

[@sachabx9146]

I already really loved the orchids, though I wasn't a fan of the succulents. This video just really made me love the orchids even more, but I'm now even considering getting the succulents just for certain parts now. The whole "botanics" themed sets just never cease to amaze me, and they usually provide some fun building time, glad to see them continued!

[@craftymom6934]

I actually teared up when you discuss the orchid. I love them so much. My mom also collected them and I inherited hers to add to mine when she passed. The combination of the soft music and the gentleness of your voice made me have all the feels. I can not wait for my orchids to arrive.

[@ManvinderSinghWalia]

I can't wait to get these. I love the botanicals collection. We need this to be a yearly thing. There are sooooooo many plants and flowers just waiting to be turned into lego

[@snasske]

I'm a guy who's childhood was Lego. As a 'serious' adult, with a passion for interiour design, I'm always looking for an excuse to buy Lego. This hits the mark 100% for me! Perfect decorative item for grown ups who loves Lego!

[@Robin0928]

I already pre-ordered the succulents, but now I want to get the orchid. The botanic series is so phenomenal. The Bonsai Tree is the thing that got me back into Lego after 10 years away and man it's crazy to see how beautiful they can look

[@sitsia3808]

Ye i also like my bonsai tree set

[@ssian6708]

Same here but I have the orchid, it’s beautiful 😊

[@ryanb4940]

You are absolutely right that these make wonderful gifts. I surprised my mom with the bouquet and used a simple clear glass vase we already owned along with clear round LEGO pieces I bought in bulk to fill about 1/3 of the vase that look not just aesthetically pleasing but also help keep each stem in place better. She’s LOVES it. She can’t get over that it’s a LEGO set and has pointed it out and sent photos of it to family and friends. I then surprised her with the bird of paradise set which she fell instantly in love with and has displayed with Hawaiian art she’s decorated the living room with. I can’t wait for this orchid. It looks so real and I love sharing a gift of something I enjoy so much as LEGO. In the past few years LEGO has tapped perfectly into the adult market with display sets. I loved LEGO as a kid and now as an adult found how calm and happy I felt building a set after a long stressful day at work. I could never imagine having LEGO sets on display in my moms house and I doubt she would have ever either. But now she has the botanical sets, I’ll sometimes put seasonal holiday sets on fireplace which she always smiles at, and the Christmas sets she’s fallen in love with too. Every Christmas now I bring out the village sets to display. I even displayed the Disney castle during Christmas with a Phillips hue light pointing at it so it would change colors slowly like the real castle at night. Last year I bought the Frozen Ice Castle set with Christmas in mind. Over the living room fireplace are two alcoves which I used one for the Disney Castle the previous year. This past year I put the Ice Castle in the other with another Phillips hue light pointed this time behind towards the back of the castle which made the clear parts all glow beautifully being backlit. LEGO is such a great company that I’m so happy to have still in my adult life. And it really does make me endlessly happy to share it with the ones I love proudly displaying. My worry had been at first when displaying Disney Castle and then following year the Ice Castle was they would look too much like I left toys out but they looked like gorgeous expensive large display items and everyone who has seen them gave it the excited and impressed “wow!” I had hoped to achieve.

[@samsengir]

Looking forward to seeing your KZbin videos of these displays. 😉

[@prons_gaming5083]

I've always kept it to myself that I build and display legos, but people really seem to appreciate the ones that are made more for display. Those who've seen my modular buildings and roller coasters on display have looked at them in awe, and i have a good feeling that the botanical collection will get the same reaction. I don't have any of them yet, but I hope to get the orchids and succulents soon, and the bonzai tree if it ever comes back in stock

[@antivire]

My mom loves orchids. I think I’ll buy this and build it for her. Update 6 months later: It’s her birthday today and I found the orchid set at Barnes and Noble so I bought it!

[@azmainsaquib9344]

Really is look like real life flowers for a few seconds I thought this was a few real life flowers wow

[@jamielawrence6229]

The Frogs, Demogorgon Heads and Forest men hats are just wonderful!

[@bbs32]

orchid set is amazingly chill. good addition for home office decor

[@dralbora]

My grown son gave me the Succulents set for Christmas. I finally had a perfect time to build it a couple of weekends (late January) ago. I enjoyed it very much and was persistently impressed by how many mechanical elements became organic shapes. As far as the nine little boxes, I built each in order as I paged through each book of instructions. Building all nine at once feels like it would have robbed me of the natural growth/building process. Most entertaining to me was the structure of the large red flower...what felt like a six-shooter cylinder being filled with the six pistol connectors! Future botanical sets may be in my future! Thanks for reviewing!

[@steveschappell8374]

I ordered the Floral Bouquet and Roses for my wife last Christmas. She is a plant lover and we have (1) Orchid among our flowers. She started adjusting the flowers to be more lifelike and when I showed her both of these sets, she was interested in the Orchids. I pre-ordered them and recently had the sunflowers delivered. I hope Lego continues to add to the Botanical Collection in the future.

[@unodos1300]

i could not stop smiling throughout this video, it makes me so happy looking at such beautiful sets. i love lego

[@peppastoes]

actually, really fun fact, the clips holding the stems is not JUST to hold them up because they’re a little heavy but because real orchids are also held up by small clips. this was too cool, my favorite flower(s). definitely bought them :)

[@kleinemonnik]

Those succulents look pretty awesome.

[@kunkunLAH]

you said it correctly, i played with Lego since 1994 but as i grow older i got disinterested and just passed it down to my nephews.. but this set oh my oh my made me giddy about Lego again at the age of 33. so good job Lego.

[@brickmultiverse]

*Can't wait for the LEGO Ideas Crystal's to come!* *Awesome flower set review, I like this set!*

[@Brickfilmer125]

I absolutely love everything that comes out of the Lego botanicals line. Great stuff!

[@lawrencesacay673]

My mama’s 50th birthday is coming up and she’s becoming quite a botanist. I just placed a pre-order for both set’s and am really excited that she’ll love this! Thanks Tiago!

[@Zhiperser]

These botanical sets have got me back into lego. I got the earlier ones and enjoyed them so much. Planning on getting all of my stored lego when I'm home for the holidays. The modular buildings and Christmas village look promising and I want to see what I can manage to do with some of the old stuff.

[@kriscook7035]

As a Lego fan and a gardener I love the botanical collection is one of my favorites

[@julypatchouli9719]

I got my sister the Bonsai last year for her advent calender. And she LOVED it!! All the little pink frogs 😀

[@carriew5106]

I was really impressed by the orchid set. Not a complicated build, and a bit repetitive, but looks much more realistic than I expected. Have stuck it in my hallway, which has no natural light and it looks real from a couple of feet away. The worst bit was pulling half of it apart mid-build because I thought I had made a mistake, but it turned out I was just missing a piece. Very unusual but new piece sent straight away.

[@jharinga77]

I've recently decided to start building legos again and started with the orchid, am currently working on the succulents with my wife, and have pre-ordered the new wildflowers

[@matttran7161]

Instantly preordered the orchid for Mother's day and now I wish I had purchased a second for myself.

[@blueeyedbaer]

I think the orchid one is the most beautiful of all this botanical collection. It looks almost life like and would look really cool in any room.

[@kentslocum]

This is the first time I have been interested in the Botanicals series--and I am VERY interested. They turned out so good!

[@amberpasta9379]

As a plant lover who owns many plants i have to say I’m interested in these.. they are supper cute even tho I’ve never personally owned any legos

[@PatHenshaw]

Thank you for this review! As an older female Lego builder, I wasn't sure after building so many restaurants, hotels, and other city structures that I'd find much challenge or variety in these kits. You've sold me, however, that I have to have them since I grow and love succulents and plants and that Lego has made the builds new and different.

[@jessicah4462]

I have both sets and if you haven’t gotten them, get them. They’re actually beautiful. All of the botanical sets are really pretty and can be placed on a table or by a window without looking like toys. I’m an older Lego builder myself. Got back into them while looking at sets with my grandson. Now we’re a 3 generation of active Lego builders. If I could just get my mom building them, lol.

[@matthewpotter8491]

Succulents look ok, but absolutely loving the orchid. Brilliant job by the designer.

[@patrickwetterlov7332]

The orchids looks absolutely stunning!

[@TrebleWoofer1]

I run a piano studio out of my home, and my clientele is usually kids. I've collected these botanical builds and the kids LOVE them. They don't need watering and are so much more interesting to look at then fake plants.

[@bricktheory]

I just got the bonsai tree set for Easter and I'm very much looking forward to building/reviewing it! There's something so relaxing about building lego and I think these botanical sets will be a good avenue for more adults to rediscover their childhood hobby (as I have!)

[@rg8766]

The vase from the orchid set would make a really good wheel for a large scale mars rover!

[@TheJereguy]

The orchids look amazing and was going to buy that for mothers day. After seeing this video I'm going to pick up the succulents too! Maybe even another for myself for parts, so many neat elements!

[@jardex2275]

My current living situation makes growing flowers hard, so I think I'll pick up the orchid at some point. The succulent is also very tempting. Overall, I'm impressed with the 18+ line so far. They have a mature feel to them, but still keep a reasonable price point for casual builders. I can actually imagine displaying these in my living room.

[@steveschappell8374]

We have the floral collection in our living room in a vase. My parents first thought they were real flowers.

[@hmrdev-billnye8166]

I bought and built the Orchid for my mother on Mothers day. She loves it.

[@jilliandesjarlais5544]

When buying Lego sets I usually gravitate towards 3-in-1 sets because I really enjoy creative parts usage while also balancing an aesthetic display piece (Majestic Tiger, Aquarium); however, I am really impressed by the Lego Company in their botanical collection. I'm definitely going to the store to pick up the Orchid set when it hits shelves. Great video and great review!

[@SailorYuki]

I'd get the orchids for sure. As an interior design piece it would sit nicely anywhere and I don't have to water it.

[@stacyr.8585]

Yup. I'm adding it to my classroom decor, for sure.

[@MonodelBuilder]

When you need to give your home some colour, but are terrible with plants and love lego, these are just perfect! Gonna try and get the Orchids as soon as I can!

[@tay-lore]

As a lifelong Lego lover, the orchid set is one of my favorite build experiences and favorite sets that Lego has ever designed. It's just a phenomenal Lego product!!!

[@feda_roz]

Just ordered the orchid! Cant wait to build it together with my kids as a coming school break activity! We're excited. Nice review of you! 💖

[@skeletonboxers7336]

used to be a huge fan of lego growing up. but i dont care for any licensed franchise sets they have. so i never had an interest in displaying them. but the lego botanical sets is entirely up my alley, i have a massive plant collection and they fit right in place amongst my real plants. i have sooo many friends who arent even into legos for their own apartments. my only complaint is that you have to dust these like real plants, without the benefit of seeing your plant grow over time. hahahaha

[@msusann]

I have always wanted an orchid plant but I was afraid I would kill it so I have never gotten one. This is going on my wish list.

[@hellhound_haunt]

I have the Succulents, and absolutely love them. I got them for Christmas last year. They were an amazing build, with a lot of fun techniques. Highly recommend it! Same with the Bonsai Tree! I don't have the orchids, but I do want them

[@jasonnorman-hodges3471]

Getting those forks in the shields for the orchid flowers was the most unpleasant Lego experience I've ever had. So difficult, literally painful to jam them in. But the experience is totally worth it, the most beautiful Lego set ever, just a joy to have around the house. Cannot recommend this set enough.

[@sakomeow]

They got me back into LEGO, I've got every one

[@Fioggi]

As a 15 year old who loves lego, the orchids caught my attention. I loved it the second i saw it and it will arrive on monday/tuesday

[@mcostello88]

I was happy when this orchid came out and built it today. I got into lego Because of an Easter bunny but am not really interested in star wars, Harry Potter, movie characters or having massive buildings so It’s nice to see different things being offered. I have struggled to find things I want because lego does seem very gamer based.

[@azraelvrykolakas157]

Funny you should mention building space ships since the red flower in the dried flower set reminding me of the tale engine of the serenity(firefly) is why I'm even going down the rabbit hole with botanical sets. Although that may be the strongest entry.

[@InkyOwOComics]

I already pre ordered two of the orchids and one succulent set. These both look amazing

[@SpykersB]

I absolutely love lego plants! I use to have real plants, lots of them, but when you go away they are a pain in the arse! So I gave em all away, and bought 3 expensive nice fakes. Then I discovered legos flowers n plants! And my plant stands now have a bonsai tree, bird of paradise, etc. My kitchen table has the bouquet with the red roses and the sunflowers added of course, makes a beautiful colourful table centre piece. Lego needs to create a vase for all of these stem flowers! I’ll be pouncing on these new ones asap, thx! 🍻

[@nazariivibritannia]

Orchid is wonderful😍

[@alphaspursncowboys]

I totally agree with the last sentence while not one of the ones in this video I got my mom the Birds of Paradise one plus assembly as a mother's day gift as her office bans potted plants due to fear of them attracting mice.

[@MicsarBuiltDesigns]

Great video, I love the way Lego makes use of the different parts for such interesting uses.

[@BRICKZIBIT]

The botanical collection is amazing! Very realistic! Definitely getting one (or both) of these 😆👍

[@TheWillOfJ]

I've been thinking carefully about what lego set I want to buy to build with my older father, and I think it's gotta be these succulents! They look fun to make, not TOO difficult for amateurs, and when we're done we can display them without worry that the cats will eat them!

[@jolttrontitan2755]

Oh my golly I am astonished with the creativity to figure out that orchid flowers

[@reyathua]

WOW! I’m going to be getting my mom the orchid set; she loves orchids and it will be nice getting her these synthetic orchids she can display in her room year-round

[@justbbricks]

I got my girlfriend the Birds of Paradise and now I really want the floral collection of sets. Love the part selection and techniques!

[@milli2315]

I love lego flowers. I have a black thumb, everything I try to grow dies a painful death so plants I cant kill are a 10/10 and it being lego makes it even better

[@simonjakobsson1004]

Agree that these weren't the most fun to build, but I LOVE having them on display! It was totally worth it, and I'm looking forward to seeing more in the Botanical Collection!

[@victorpalacios5668]

Wow that orchid is beautiful I’m a huge lego fan and I think it’s stunning!

[@jvckie1225]

I have the whole collection and just preordered the orchids and succulents. im so excited !!!

[@pablesm]

2:24 dark green invasion from below cockpits

[@mister_bleeps]

I found the bouquet kind of frustrating to build. Hopefully these aren't as fragile and fiddly as I really do like both of them.

[@20erzet00]

Was it hard to build the bouquet?

[@mister_bleeps]

@@20erzet00 No, not hard exactly. Just that some of them were very delicate to handle and parts would fall off while trying to finish the build.

[@shannonswain8555]

Your review was beautiful. Thank you

[@ofdragonsandbooks3979]

I think I’ll get my mother the orchids. Since we have cats she can’t put her flowers out on the tables and windowsill anymore. And I get to build something fun :D

[@bento6190]

I recently got given the bonsai tree and love it. As a complete beginner and novice I have no knowledge or pieces but would like to try and make a tree or two. Would you please consider showing us some trees using currently available pieces? Thank you

[@Patrik2166]

And mom's birthday is around the corner :D Bought it for her as a gift. She's in her 60s so it will be interesting for both of us to assemble it

[@CrimsonFox36]

of all the sets to get me interested in Lego again, this one does it for me.

[@ArthurCowboy06]

I like that these sets do not require you to purchase an additional pot/ vase like the bouquet set

[@Sonderax]

The use of the Demogorgon head is best use of the year

[@BrickLady]

I like it 🥰 especially orchids 😍

[@natk9438]

I'd buy the orchid only for the parts and colours but I own the succulent set and absolutely adore it.

[@ljupkadobrosavljevic8267]

I am not much of a plant lover, but I was thinking about having orchids or suculents. These Lego builds might be a solution for people like me. Who would like to have them for their beauty, but not into caring for plants.

[@codytentis9909]

I have the orchid in my therapy office! So pretty.

[@hugomiguel366]

This video was so great, I really appreciate it, we’ll done Tiago! 💯🙏🏻

[@kimchilover8172]

Great review! I’m definitely getting these for my mom’s birthday!

[@Scarletcroft]

Ooh I like them. Pretty, decorative, fun to build and they wont die by accidentally over watering. ;) I think it would be funny to build it and put them between the real plants on the windowsill to (partially to mess with people). Sadly that's a bad idea due to legoplants not liking sunlight. Thoug the discolouration of the bricks might even make them look more realistic.

[@Khether0001]

Wow... those are REALLY Master Builders!

[@russ4550]

Man you showed it multiple times but I never even realized it was a Demogorgon head 🤯

[@HiCZoK]

Loved the bonsai tree last year. Fantastic looking sets to display on your computer case or just on a shelf

[@XENOMORPH13]

The Orchid made me smile 😊

[@danieljjin]

Tiago you do reviews so early, I only found out about this set a few days ago and you already have it… I wish LEGO would just give me legos for free like they do for you

[@WildflowersCreations]

Thanks for breaking down which pieces were used for what.

[@BeerBourbonandGames]

I loved the bonsai tree set. These look a step above in realism. I can't wait to get them both!

[@Aar0nDown]

Definitely going to be getting these sets, I have been an avid Lego fan for a while and have the bird of paradise Lego set it makes way more sense to me to make the plants with a buildable pot rather than using a vase like the bouquet I don’t have the bouquet set , I am a super big plant fan . I also have real plants, a few of my real plants are aloe vera, Haworthia, jade, African violet etc., this is a good addition to the lego line because caring for some of the real plants can be hard because of lighting conditions and the amount of care required , people that don’t have a green thumb but still want nice looking plants would also enjoy these sets, this is a good deal for me and other people who find some real plans harder to take care of than others but still want the species and are lego fans or like you said just enjoy the sets. It’s also really satisfying to build something then in the end will also look really good on display.

[@Erikve]

This looks really good, I would almost consider to buy that for some extra plantlife at home 😀

[@woogaloo]

The orchids look really nice, but I don't really enjoy those. I do however love the pot they come in. I wish they had done that for the other botanical sets I've done. I will definitely be picking up the succulents set. My loves succulents so she'll enjoy it.

[@bdonaghu]

New green Forestmen hats! That's all I care about with these sets 😂

[@noahmurcia8806]

Hey Tiago! The flowers look really cool! I just had two questions for you. Number one, are you going to be reviewing the LEGO delorean soon? Number two, will you make any more Minecraft Mocs? Keep up the good work

[@AdriaOliSal]

I bought the orchid and build it yesterday with my gf. It was really fun to build and it looks stunning

[@Greenphantom622]

since you are lego designer, can you maybe make a new tow truck or a technic mclearen

[@RalseiGaming]

the eggs new color seems perfect for a minifigure scale alien moc

[@TofuBebe]

I might get the succulent set! The dark red one would look pretty cool on my desk, and I’ll probably give the rest to my mom lol.

[@austinborton8693]

We’ve had the orchids up for a few weeks now and no one has even realized that they are Lego until we tell them. The designers did an amazing job!
