LEGO Icons Dried Flower Centerpiece review! Incredible parts pack, a bit fragile & drab

[@rejectclone4504]

I know that this set might not be for everyone, but I think it’s GORGEOUS! 😆🧡 I like how it’s such a standout when compared to the other, more vibrant looking sets in the Botanical collection, with its dried out and muted colors and a more compact visual profile! 🌼 I absolutely need to get this, as the only other Botanical set I have currently is the bonsai tree!

[@Gameprojordan]

Ah yes, my favorite vegetable; the lantern

[@ianroe1076]

I'm really hoping that Jang chose that Star Wars hoodie in the outro to complete the "kid in the 70s" look with the muted flower display.

[@1upchavez]

As a fan of Lego, and been surrounded by flowers my whole life, these sets are incredible to look at. I work in a flower shop now and I’m starting to display the botanical collection at work. Everyone at the shop thinks these sets are really cool!

[@antraxxslingshots]

I have yet to come across a channel on youtube that (and is obviously operated by a single person) tries AND manages to achieve such a level of flawlesness like yours. In about 90% of your Videos all of my questions that pop up during the review i know get adressed before the end. The presentation is always kind, fair and a joy to watch in terms of editing, lighting and background. Thank you for your work!

[@BlueToad6456]

Couldn't have said it better

[@nadiabouk8712]

As an avid fan of the botanical collection, this feels like one of those sets that isn’t going to catch my attention… until fall when I start craving this muted color palate again

[@JTM1809]

It looks amazing to me. The imagination required to put this thing together. Whoever designed this, that person is a true designer artist.

[@migatron1]

The perfect bouquet for that extra special morose person in your life this Valentine's Day

[@Angryoyster]

I got the same amount of leftover whips. I bought it the day it came out. I enjoyed the build process and I LOVE the finale product. I did it on my own and I only plan on buying one and I’m content and happy. Growing up I learnt to press flowers and make arrangements I also love the fall time and autumn colours so this was definitely a must buy for me.

[@Breyzipp]

Absolutely love the soft/sober/autumn colour combination in this set. Lego nailed it!

[@hobikidalbadminton]

I'm a florist. Seeing a life flowers all day I think this set is the most realistic of all the botanical collections so far. Maybe because it mimic dried flower and it made of LEGO, which I don't mind see the rough edges here and there. I think the color is great and from the flower arrangement perspective, this is a European style and the textures are amazing. The depth and pop up flowers are cleverly placed. Btw, compare to the orchid set 10311, in the box picture it looks realistic but seeing the build, it was not as I imagine, so.. I like this dried one.

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

Interestingly enough, the bladder cherries which use the lantern piece also go by Chinese/japanese lantern

[@117johnpar]

I love the look of this thing, it presents sooo well. I didnt know it could be hung from a wall but now that I do I plan on getting it.

[@OlleMoquist]

For anyone curious, I also got 5 whip pieces as extras. This is a pretty good parts pack.

[@thegamingdogwr]

This theme is the best way to get good parts with a large variety . Amazing

[@georgebruce4224]

That rose though! If only the 49097 Mudguard came in Red. Maybe Lego will see this potential 😃 Great review Jang! Thanks for highlighting the parts pack value.

[@Blake_Stone]

I am drooling over those classic trees...

[@gregm963]

I like this a lot for a harvest / thanksgiving Lego display. Really nice fall colors.

[@Pannemat]

Finally a Lego set I can let go dusty on purpose.

[@valdemarbndinghansen3109]

As a danish person, I can indeed confirm that lanterns are our favourite vegetable😋

[@Zenlore6499]

Whoever’s been designing the Botanicals are genius part users! (I guess, Chris McVeigh? Well done, sir!)

[@ceoofcorn411]

This is really well designed. I love these kinds of colors.

[@victorp7932]

Looks good. Looking forward to getting it when I have money.

[@empatheticrambo4890]

The ability to adjust the display is very clever

[@FlymanMS]

A set that both you and your mom/grandma can appreciate

[@AverageDrafter]

If LEGO did polybag / small box versions of individual flowers and modular plants (like the succulent set), they would make an absolute fortune off of impulse buys and custom arrangements. You can sell these ANYWHERE, and I can see people "army' building their favorite flowers.

[@frostedbutts4340]

They do, there are like 4 cheap boxes with 2-3 stems of flowers in them. It's possible they aren't at retail, I got the roses and daffodils at the lego shop.

[@lbricks7631]

Ah yes, I remember sipping on lantern soup in a concrete bunker In Denmark. That was in the summer of 1895.

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

Vegetables:__proceeds to present a fruit and a light source__ lol

[@yomekpiecemaker8764]

Nice, I didn't knew it was created by Chris McVeigh ! I love his personnal creations and own some of the Lego Brick Sketches he did in 2021&2022, can't wait to know what Lego will release this year. I don't collect the flowers sets but maybe I will purchase that one 'cause McVeigh+Mural Piece !

[@hazbinhotel5488]

Yeah this Lego set is simply gorgeous. Prolly their best one to date.

[@BadgerBishop]

I feel like this is a wonderful way to recolor the bonsai.

[@azraelvrykolakas157]

I've only had this set for a day but it's seams really great for making steam punk weapons. Two of those shoulder peices and six leaves gives a good spider body the bar sized items would work as legs but they're aren't quite enough.

[@FinntheSquire]

6:13 just built this, and got confused by the whips as well, I don’t know why I have so many extra. But I remembered that your channel tells me what extra parts I get from the set! I haven’t tuned in in a while due to me not getting as many Lego sets and overall life happening. I do thank you for that because I thought I was going crazy. I’m trying to collect the entire botanical collection and I’m only missing four which I will be purchasing very soon! Keep it up your content is amazing and helped me get through a lot as a kid.

[@guleri]

I think this is meant to be one of those decorations of dried flowers that was so popular some years ago here in Scandinavia. The colors looks really great, and if I can find a place to display it I will get one.

[@johnvocatura]

Agreed, such a great parts pack. Keep it up LEGO. Thank you Jang.

[@BossBast1]

Hmm, yummy lanterns. Such a treat...

[@huemanatee1452]

I like the earthy colorscheme, but this would be better as a fall set, so many cool (warm) recolors

[@legobrickabrac]

I'd have that in My city as it is, in the middle of a park, yes the flowers would be huge in scale to minifigure but it looks great.

[@brickinamsterdam7444]

great set

[@kilianmauchle3329]

I think the set has great parts if you want to built something from the wild west theme.. And lego should make more sets in this colors or style i think, like some mocs

[@adamverone7143]

I host Thanksgiving every year. I'm looking forward to using this as the center piece for the snack table to see if anyone notices that it's Lego.

[@Lordodragonss]

I got it yesterday -20% off! Such a great partpack, hope the small trees will pop up in the Lego P@B!

[@SneezingEagle]

Appreciate the video as always!

[@thebookwasbetter3650]

I feel like if I had a nephew I didn't like very much that I would get him this for his birthday.

[@Benjamin0119]

It is really creative and nice looking, though I agree with you, I wish they were in their living form and not dried. I do hope LEGO will include some of these in their living forms in some sets, or at least the rose. I guess it might be possible to look at the instructions and buy different colored versions of the parts to make living versions, but that could become tedious.

[@Mick0Mania]

A bit on the expensive side, but that would make an awesome parts pack indeed! Might consider this one.

[@thrillhouse4151]

Lots of cool pieces, but looks like something we’d find in my late grandma’s basement in the bottom of an Xmas decorations box.

[@stehlik]

Hey if a bouquet from dead dried flowers looks dead and dry to you - mission accomplished, right? :) Thanks for nice review, as always!

[@0x0404]

I can smell it. Those dried flower things always smell the same.

[@TBear-br7ht]

I got a bunch of extra whips as well

[@vincentwiddershoven2122]

...You coud'nt let the Lego photoshoots go, could you?... 🤣🤣🤣

[@deathscythehellfunk]

This really looks like something that thrift stores use as decoration.

[@zappidos1678]

Most of the people I know who buy these own cats, I don't think this will survive long with cats around

[@resaliputra4910]

What would you rate it for 'swooshability" ?

[@danielunderwood5217]

This is brilliant! Lego flowers look great, but they do not look like they are alive. Because the "Dried Flower" is imitating dead flowers, it looks and feels more real than any of the other botanicals.

[@Vadahann]

The color choices is bold, that doesn't catch the eye as much as the other botanical sets making me doubtful of its success though there's probably some who will see itss value as a part packthat could compensate. Also I'm wondering if releasing it in autumn would have been more appropriate, that would have been more in the season spirit.

[@empatheticrambo4890]

I do wonder what kind of Mocs can be made with these colors

[@dactel]

I actually really like the look of this set and I’m not even a flower guy 😂 and for 50$ that just seems *correct* because of how much there looks to be when it is on my screen, maybe that changes in person but it still looks great

[@Skullgrin.]

The gold nugget piece has become a chicken nugget!

[@ethanribitzki8147]

good morning

[@pixart_king]

So did you bought an extra for the parts?

[@HNBGamer]

A set that has nothing to do with moving parts still manages to have more Lego gears than some certain Technic sets (with none)

[@JaniaFravel]

what are the dimensions on this ?

[@JaniaFravel]

what are the dimensions

[@nodakshak]

Lanterns are so juicy and sweet! Mmm 🤤

[@GuanoLad]

Dried flower arrangements were such a staple in the 70s, and they really were unpleasant, dull, and often messy things to have sitting forlornly on your windowsill. I get why Jang isn't into them, even in artificial Lego form.

[@ltlmissscareall]

I want to mount it on my wall but I'm STRUGGLING can anyone help?

[@worldsheaviestjamband93]

Pumpkin is a fruit. Purple is a fruit.

[@13thmistral]

I swear, hang this on the wall, many people wont notice it is lego. edit: in actual defence, the kind of dry flowers this stuff is based on are in general really fragile too.

[@rogerhalt3991]

It’s a bit dull and boring and an interesting direction from Lego but that’s a lot of great MOC parts for the price

[@LordWaterBottle]

It's ok that the end result feels kinda dead t you, it's representing something that actually is dead.

[@Dredguno]

not a big fan of these plant sets; the parts are too strange to be used for other MOCs

[@studebricker2845]

Honestly getting tired of the flower sets. Extremely boring subject matter for Lego...

[@vexorian]

I think this is a great botanical set for people with bad taste.

[@vexorian]

They deserve to get sets, too!

[@Lordodragonss]

I got it for pieces xD

[@BossBast1]

Depends where you put it. For some esthetics, it can be nice

[@ChristopherGains]

Really wonder what Lego was thinking with these botanical sets… the bonsai was cool but the rest is really meh…

[@Lordodragonss]

They sell amazingly well for normies as presents, but builders just use them as amazing partpacks.

[@natbarmore]

They seem to sell like hotcakes, so I’m thinking what Lego is thinking is “how fast can we come up with more of these?” Personally, the bonsai is my least-favorite of the large botanicals, and I really only got it because my spouse really liked it-I think it’s cool, just not $50-cool. But I have every other one just for myself, and lately have been preordering them the day they become available, because I’m just that excited to build them.

[@aman5436]

Def not for everyone could be good for the ladies tho that aren’t into the more traditional themes of star wars, marvel etc

[@mathewcurtis8484]

I mean they are the highest selling lego theme currently

[@jessiewabbit]

I bought my friend the succulent planter. She's a big plant person but can't do succulents, it looks cute

[@JanKustersSittard]

I think it looks great, and with these colours I would make for a nice autumn table piece. Next I would like a similar one in brighter spring/summer colours. Like start out with a sunflower, and work from that to colour the rest.
