Bonsai Tree

This was my first adult set, which I had already read that they tend to be repetitive and straight-forward, without much room for creativity. This is absolutely not the case here. Even though the pot and the base may be a little repetitive, they are the smallest part of the set. The bonsai trunk is very complex and unique, with somewhat difficult bits. The leaves and blossoms may be a little repetitive (because there…

The best thing about the Lego Bonsai Tree are the pieces. You get 101 frogs in the set and most of them are pink (which I believe is the first time lego frogs have been that colour). You also get interesting facts (ex. there are 101 frogs, this is the first time vines have been a dark brown colour, etc.) in the instructions. The set looks incredibly realistic and is a great display. The only annoying part was buildin…

From a few metres away this build is indistinguishable from a real bonsai tree. Up close it is a super detailed and ingeniusly designed model. I prefer the white/pink blossom leaves to the standard green, mainly because the green had more gaps. Still, both look great. The build is amazing and surprising. A whole bag is built in one step by just pouring all the studs, and the blossom is made of almost 50 frog pieces! …

I'd been wanting this set since it was released; I like the novel concept and have recently been more interested in sets I can display. This seemed to hit the mark. But it is so much better overall than I really expected. The build goes surprisingly quickly. I was expecting a bout 1.5–2 hours of build time but actually got the basic build completed in about 45 minutes. Building is split into 6 phases: pot, tree trunk…

This is a truly great set and a great way to kick off the Botanical line from LEGO. It looks almost real and is great for a desk display. It was a great idea to include both options for the bonsai with the cherry blossom option and the normal green option. It is very easy to go between both versions and to switch them out. The soil in which the tree sits is unique in the way that once the tree is built the soil is po…
