Today we take a very quick look at the contents of the LEGO set 40680 Flower Store, a box of 338 pieces currently offered until March 10, if stock permits, from €200 of purchase without restriction of range on the official online store. This new promotional product takes up the principle of the small limited edition thematic construction already seen via the previous collection of "Maisons du Monde" (Houses of the World) with for this new variation a theme in the style of Modulars.
We are treated to a florist in this first box with a construction on two levels which brings together some elements of furniture with a symbolic design, all crammed into two sections with rather successful facades given the imposed scale.
It's microStructure summarized to its simplest expression but LEGO still manages to impose its subject with some well-felt finishing details. Flowers everywhere to match the announced theme, some furniture, a piece of sidewalk, a lamp post, a section of roof, almost everything is there. It's cute but to spend €200 paying full price for a few products, you'll have to think twice and ask yourself whether this box, or worse this new collection, is really worth the effort .
There are a few stickers to stick along the way and for once, I don't find these stickers very visually inspired. I have a hard time putting my finger on what bothers me but it seems to me that the graphic designer's line is not really in the usual LEGO spirit. We have two different stickers for the florist's sign, we wonder why but why not.
Everything is assembled very quickly and we don't really know what to do with this construction upon arrival. We will have to wait to see what the inevitable other boxes of this new mini-collection will contain to get a more precise idea of the coherence of the thing. No connection points on the sides of the building, the different modules will have to be carefully aligned with each other without being able to connect them via a few pins provided.
In short, as usual, it's up to everyone to see if the effort is worth making to launch into a new collection of promotional products which will a priori require spending at least €800 on the official online store over offers which will be periodically proposed. Personally, I'm at a loss, I don't know what to do with these mini-things even if I welcome the effort to offer something creative and visually accomplished.
