It was Sunday after lunch and I enthusiastically concluded that it was the right time to open my new set of Legos. The box waited for me for three weeks now and I was ready. Because when you are an adult, and you know exactly how much you paid for your Lego set, you want the timing for your ˝play˝ to be just perfect.
Bouquet of Roses was released was released in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. It captured my attention immediately. I always look at Legos also from that practical site of aesthetics. Does this look good? Is it something I can keep on my shelf as decoration? Will it only look like clutter? You get the point. So yes, these roses looked lovely and I bought them for myself.
This set includes 822 pieces, arranged into 6 packs. The whole building ¨process¨ is divided into three parts. At the end you'll get 12 Roses (3 different types) and 4 branches of Baby's Breath.
I believe it took me three hours of slow building and just chilling with some old music in the background. It is embarrassing to say, but I had a dilemma or two, but I solved that quickly. A brick separator can handle everything! It is a bit harder when so many parts come in the same color, but maybe it’s just me.
Anyway, this was my second botanical set. About three or even four years ago I got the Flower Bouquet. That one was very colorful and included lots of tinier pieces. Both were very fun and relaxing to build, I would highly recommend them. Roses are more compact and easier to ¨store¨. If I move other flowers around too aggressively or try to clean them, they like to fall apart.
I like my Lego flower decoration, but I need to find a proper vase now because it got a bit crowded.
And in the end, if Legos make you happy, just buy them. No matter how old you are it is never too late.
