Why I Bought It
I grabbed two boxes of LEGO’s Botanicals Roses set right before Valentine’s Day — each one builds two poseable red roses with leaves, about 26cm long, and two boxes felt like the right amount to actually look like a bouquet instead of an afterthought.
Living With It
These have been sitting in a vase since February and look exactly the same as the day I built them, which is the whole pitch. The build itself is quick and simple, almost too simple if you’re an experienced builder looking for a challenge. They only come in red, so don’t expect a varied bouquet unless you mix in other Botanicals sets.
The Good
- Never wilts, unlike the real thing
- Quick, satisfying build
- Poseable stems for display
- Cheap entry point into the Botanicals line
The Bad
- Only available in red
- Very simple build for experienced builders
- Needed two boxes to feel like a proper bouquet
Final Call
Rating: 4/5
