I bought the Ideas football table for a friend when it was discounted heavily recently, and all the above conditions applied. The sides are clipped at the bottom then folded up and attached to the core to form a perfectly circular pot. TheOtherMike: but that only makes sense for exclusive sets that aren't available elsewhere, since VIP points only mean about ten percent discount, which is far less than what you get for the majority of sets elsewhere. The build is rather straightforward. First you build the base that keeps the vase together. A 8×8 grid plate is cleverly used so long bars can move into the base. This makes the build well balanced and sturdy. After this you’ll build the different flowers. It’s not specified what kind of flowers are included in the set. 2 pussywillow branches stand tall above the rest and some small orchid-like flowers are in the front. Other than that I can’t really judge how accurate it is, since I’m not an expert on flowers. The branches are very repetitive to build, taking up quite a few of the parts. The result looks rather beautiful I’d say. The unnamed flowers are nicer to build and there’s more variation. The orchid-like flowers in the end are the least fun part of the build in my opinion. It’s very detailed and small and the instructions aren’t clear enough to properly see how everything needs to be attached.

A handy companion to the wider LEGO Botanical Collection – which has already grown in 2023 with 10313 Wildflower Bouquet, 10314 Dried Flower Centrepiece and 40646 Daffodils – 40588 Flowerpot repurposes hot air balloon pieces into a pot, then fills it with a colourful assortment of plants. It’s difficult to make out specific species at this stage, beyond what looks like tall pussy willow climbing beyond the rest. 40589 Pirate Ship Playground The interior of the pot both holds the sides in place and the flowers upright, and it reminded me of Oasis floral foam when I was poking the stems into the holes. The Flowerpot is great if you’ve been waiting to get your hands on it, but if you’re a LEGO Star Wars fan, it’s probably best to wait till May to score some LEGO Star Wars GWPs for May the 4th 2023, which will hopefully be revealed soon!I'm not entirely convinced by the pot, though: its curvature is not particularly elegant, so it looks a bit squat and bottom-heavy. LEGO's parts palette is not awash with suitable elements for flowerpots -- yet -- so I guess the designer has had to use what was at hand.

But since the people who we're buying the sets from must have, one way or another, already forked over the money TO Lego, it's not like TLG is actually losing money over it. So I guess "w'all" can go about our merry business in the comments-sections. Yay!" Shell 13M, w/ 3,2 shaft (4x in Bright Light Yellow) 37837 Double sphere 2X2X1 (3x in Yellow) 1566 Plant, w/ 3.2 Shaft, No. 1 (16x in Reddish Brown) I expect them to show up in other sets sooner rather than later.What’s surprising to me is that some of these are recolors (so far) exclusive to this set. These are: It's annoying to see more harshly negative comments under the popular GWPs ("Lego is too greedy!") than under the boring ones ("Easy pass").

LEGO® minifigures for roleplay – Clone Commander with a blaster pistol and 2 Clone Troopers, each with a blaster rifle. This 66-piece building toy is for ages 6 and up Enjoy a mindful building project with a display piece to cherish as you build all the details of this LEGO® Flowerpot (40588). The elegant flowerpot holds LEGO interpretations of springtime favourites such as cherry blossom, billy buttons and other blooms. This LEGO flower building set makes a great gift for plant-lovers or anyone aged 12 and over with a passion for home decor. LEGO® flower building set – The flowerpot comes with LEGO versions of springtime flowers including cherry blossom, Salix discolor and billy buttonsI must admit I really wanted this GWP just for the parts. Usually I won’t build sets I get for parts. I liked the look of this set however. And building something new to me (like flowers) sparked my curiosity further. It’s hard to see the justification for the high spending threshold in my opinion. The previous Easter Bunny GWP was a lot cheaper to get and has a similar building experience and part count. Granted, the parts are more interesting in this set because of the exclusive parts. Lego isn't your kind grandparent, and these aren't generous gifts; they're marketing incentives from a massive corporation.
