LEGO Botanicals Orchid - Artificial, Fake Indoor Flowers Building Set for Home, Kitchen, Desk Decoration, Adults Ages 18+ - Gift for Birthdays - 10311

Very pretty and fun to put together. Makes as a great decoration and gift.

As shown colors are vibrant, assembly is great, at a comparable price. Best for ages 10 and on up.

Perfect gift! I bought this LEGO Orchid as a gift for my wife, and she loved it! It looks beautiful, realistic, and was a fun, relaxing build. Highly recommended!

This kit comes with a large-print booklet that makes assembly easy and fun. The building of the orchid is broken up into 4 stages, each with its own bag of parts. Everything is neatly organized and the flow of the building process is fun. You aren't stopping to search through a huge pile of pieces for that one last part you need. Everything is compartmentalized so that you can focus on the fun of building the model orchid. I had all the parts I needed plus a few extras. Getting the orientation of the orchid branches can be a bit of a challenge, but this is solved with trial and error. At a relaxed pace, this LEGO model took me 3 hours to build. The quality is top notch and exactly what you'd expect from LEGO. The value for your money is good. The model looks beautiful and the material is top quality. I bought this as a gift to myself, but it would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys both the beauty of flowers and putting together LEGO sets. This orchid will have a place on my desk to brighten up the room.

very cute and fun to build, great room, decor

Wasn’t to complicated to build and any parts I had confusion about I went on Youtube. It’s really beautiful!

My friend loved this. She was so excited to get it as a gift. It’s from Lego, so great quality, great gift idea, and fun for Lego fans.

Gorgeous lego setup, Mimicking an orchid. Good size and fun to put together.

Regalata a mia moglie che ne è rimasta entusiasta! Veramente bella e di impatto scenico ! Usata per arredare la libreria Ha il suo costo ma è Lego, si sa!

Montagem bem instruída pelo manual, requer um pouco de habilidade e paciência, mas o resultado é muito bom. Fica um enfeite bonito.

Plantlife is very much "survival of the fittest" where I'm concerned, much like how I do laundry. I love plants, but I kind of forget they exist and while overwatering used to be my besetting sin, underwatering and other accidents befall mine often enough that I now have a couple of hardy succulents and everything else is plastic. Naturally, when Lego started releasing flowers and plants, I was super excited! I picked up an 'open-box' Orchid kit from Amazon Warehouse (I've had excellent luck with them, only one kit was missing pieces, most just have dented/crushed boxes) and the build was definitely lots of fun. I like that you build the pot as well! There's a lot of room for customization once you've seen how it goes together. I added a couple of pieces to make the stamens and sepals look a bit more like the real thing, but I have a lot of extra pieces laying around. The resulting plant is super easy to adjust and modify, letting you decide how many stems you want and how many open blooms, etc. I wanted more of the single-piece buds, and Lego definitely had them available at the time of this review in their popular pick-a-brick section for something like $5 each. It's a little expensive for single pieces -- most go for a few cents, unless they're animals or special minifig related or large plates -- but I do orders a few times a year to fix whatever special pieces I've managed to lose, or need for a new idea (I always need more transparent pieces! Most vehicles have brake lights but not turn signals. Safety first!), and whatever my nieces and nephews have managed to lose or need more of, so adding on a couple of these to a larger order is worth it in my case. I think they're currently being listed as minifig heads as they share the Demogorgon minifigure mold, heh. Actually, that would be a very fun orchid to make, entirely in those colours... I'd love to do an orchid mantis as well in pink and white, the new White Rabbit kit shares a lot of pieces and colours, so that's probably my next project. I think orchids are awesome. I also never, ever get them for myself or anyone I know because we kill them. I know they can be incredibly hardy, but I do not have a way with plants despite really trying hard and researching a lot. When my spider plant jumped from a tall shelf I decided I just wouldn't put living plants through the horror of me anymore. (At least, my cat says it jumped. He wouldn't lie, right?) My mom loves plants. She wanted me to take care of her plants including her gorgeous, blooming orchids while she was away for several weeks. I can do this, I thought, just x ml of water once a week. They'll be fine. I somehow knocked the pot off the counter and it and plant smashed into a million pieces. The replacement I got her was somehow irresistable to her cats, the first and only plant they have ever eaten. The replacement replacement had some kind of weird tiny spiders on it and despite a very gentle anti-insect treatment (catnip would have worked, except her Scamperbeasts would have mowed this one down too, so dish soap it was), the plant never managed to thrive and is just a sad collection of sticks. My mom now has a Lego orchid on her bathroom counter and is rather bemused about the whole thing. Considering she has my Christmas Cactus that only blooms on Easter and cuttings from my EXTREMELY aggressive Jade plant that is attempting to choke out the sun, I'm not really sure what else she expected from me. I only get the weird plants. Her grandkids ("accidentally") take it apart frequently. I put it back together. Her cats have knocked it off the counter while barreling around the house at 3am. I put it back together. I've bumped it and it's fallen and smashed to pieces. Not only did I put it back together, but there was no dirt cleanup or guilt afterwards, either. This thing is a gift that truly keeps on giving. My nephew can rebuild it in a couple of hours (I kept the instructions, and they're available online thank goodness) and he's 13, I'm 43, so let's say it's definitely a good build for that age range. I'd say 8+ would be fine if they're Lego pros, just know there are a couple of tricky bits that need some juggling of pieces to get them all locked into place. They use some really interesting techniques in building the pot and securing the stems so they're very solid (they handle bumps fine, it's falls to tile floors that they don't really enjoy... but I'm not sure what Lego can handle that, honestly. Some of the Technic monster trucks maybe?). There are some very clever uses of pieces as well, although I will never be able to look at pink frogs the same way again. I honestly enjoyed this one so much I picked up one for myself and several of the other large plant kits soon after, and all they need is the occasional dusting and retrieval of minifigs and other toys from them when the nibs visit. To my near-sighted eyes, it looks very pretty about 6ft away. Blurry, but pretty. Totally fools me into thinking I have an actual plant. Considering I have the memory of a goldfish, this is less difficult than you might believe ("Hey, look, a castle!"). It also hasn't bid the cruel world goodbye, so I guess my cat isn't interested in it either. He just wants to lay on the instructions when I'm building something. (He has stolen a few large, oddly-shaped pieces, but Lego customer service accepted the pictures of him playing with them/sleeping on them with claws out and agreed that they belonged to him now, and they mailed me replacements. They're seriously good people there, I adore them! Be super nice to them and they will build the moon for you.) Overall this is a really great kit no matter if your decor is adult-adult or Lego Metropolis With Jurassic Park (And Spaaaace). It looks GOOD, and it makes me smile when I see it. It's easy to fix and re-build, and I haven't noticed any loosening of the parts that hold the stems or flowers put despite some unfortunate events and subsequent rebuilds. I really like this set, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Super cela m’a bien occupé pendant mon congé maternité. Le lego est trop trop beau, facile à monter, je recommande.

Como cualquier otro lego, muy entretenido de armar y bellísimo cuando está armado completamente, perfecto para decorar!
