As usual, it's up to you to decide whether you should go for it without delay and pay full price for these boxes or whether you should show a little patience and wait for the inevitable reductions that will be offered in the weeks and months to come at Amazonon FNAC.comat Cdiscountat Auchan as well as some other retailers.

chloe roses final 1

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the set that everyone is currently talking about, on social networks in particular, the LEGO ICONS Botanical Collection reference 10328 Bouquet of Roses. This box of 822 pieces has been available at the public price of €59.99 since January 1, 2024 and in my opinion it has everything to very quickly become an absolute bestseller as the subject is treated with care and delicacy.

I have already written it here, yet I am one of those who have a little difficulty with the concept of plastic flowers, it is undoubtedly a question of generation because I knew the ugly but imperishable flowers which adorned many interiors in the 80s and I have very bad memories of it. It has also always been explained to me that if the flowers fade, it is because they are sacrificing themselves to remind us that it is time to offer them again and the concept developed by LEGO therefore goes a little against the grain of my approach to the subject.

That being said, this bouquet of 12 red roses decorated with a few sprigs of gypsophila offers a real construction experience and is not content to be a simple lifestyle product intended to collect dust on a sideboard or a shelf.

The bouquet is divided into three subsets of four roses in different stages of flowering and blooming and each type of pink rose offers a completely different assembly process. Don't spoil too much the techniques used, they are part of the pleasure and even if we reproduce each flower in four copies, we never really get tired of seeing the final bouquet take shape.

You see in the photos, the designer used a lasso to embody the center of one of the three roses and the accessory fits perfectly here. I'm not always a fan of the principle of misappropriation of a play, but when it's done intelligently and appropriately as is the case here, I applaud with both hands.

Same observation for the shoulder pads of Action Figures Marvel or Star Wars which here become very elegant petals and for the stems strands of gypsophila which discreetly integrate saber handles in Sand green.

You already know if you also follow me on social networks, the set offers the possibility of assembling this box with several people with separate instructions in three small booklets, one for each type of rose. This opens up interesting possibilities, such as a couple's building session for the next Valentine's Day.

You can obviously improve the dynamics of your composition by distributing the different types of roses according to your wishes, by neatly integrating the gypsophila sprigs and playing with the length of the stems. The bouquet therefore retains a certain modularity which allows different shapes and heights of vases.

On arrival, we come close to the perfect trompe l'oeil if the bouquet is observed from a certain distance, and it is in my opinion by far the most successful of the different creations of the Botanical Collection LEGO.

I also think that you don't need to be both sensitive to flowers and a fan of LEGO to appreciate this bouquet, the whole thing obviously remains a construction based on plastic bricks, but the thing is sufficiently elegant that each of the roses can be appreciated individually and the bouquet effect is reinforced by the graceful and accomplished side of each of the three versions offered.

However, don't let this stop you from offering real flowers to try to keep in shape for as long as possible, taking care of a real bouquet means maintaining the memory of the moment when it was given to you.

IF you don't want to fill your interior with LEGO lifestyle products and only had to keep one, this pretty, reasonably priced bouquet is at the top of my podium. I find it more easily integrated than many other compositions in this range of constructions on the theme of botany, it will stand out for its bright colors but also for its relative sobriety and the absence of too striking a reference to the LEGO universe such as visible studs or intelligently diverted but poorly integrated pieces.

This product therefore ticks all the boxes in my opinion and perfectly embodies the maturity of LEGO's foray into the world of purely lifestyle products. You will still have to dust these 12 roses regularly, for example using an air spray.

Don't forget that it's not because you like LEGO that the person to whom you are going to give these flowers, thinking you have found a good idea, will necessarily be receptive, nothing replaces a real bouquet for many people. When in doubt, take both.

Note: The product shown here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at 23th January 2024 next at 23:59 p.m. Simply post a comment below the article to participate. Your participation is taken into account regardless of your opinion. Avoid “I’m participating” or “I’m trying my luck”, we suspect that this is the case.

LEGO has put online a new reference in the LEGO ICONS range, the reference 10331 Kingfisher with its 834 pieces and its public price set at €49.99. This box, which will allow you to assemble a Kingfisher on its base decorated with reeds, will be available from February 1, 2024.

At first glance it is rather successful and the product should easily find an audience among budding ornithologists who want to decorate their interior with a decorative but compact product.
