It was only a few days ago that LEGO revealed the new LEGO Icons Botanical Collection Tiny Plants (10329) which will be releasing on December 1. It has 758 pieces and retails for $49.99. Build The set is separated into three categories of plants: tropical, carnivorous, and arid. In each category of plants, they are fitted into small, medium and large pots. Note that all the pots are built the same way for all three types of plants which may get repetitive. For the tropical plants, we have the False Shamrock (Oxalis triangularis), Jade Plant (Crassula ovata), and the Laceleaf (Anthurium andraeanum). The False Shamrock uses the smallest pot and it uses purple butterfly pieces for the leaves that are attached on a tan stalk. As you keep building the set, you notice a running theme with the interesting parts usage. The Jade Plant uses the medium sized pot and the...

A few weeks ago, I received a mystery box provided to BrickNerd by LEGO. The only thing I knew was that the set was part of the Botanical Collection. My girlfriend already has the original Flower and Wildflower Bouquets, along with the Bonsai Tree (those sets are “hers” and I’m allowed to “steal” parts from them only for a couple of days but then I have to return them to their places), so she was very excited to add another botanical set to her collection. We were both delighted with 10329 Tiny Plants when it arrived, and I asked her to build them so we could take pictures of the set. But after that, I wanted to play with the parts and build something out of it. A Few Words About Tiny Plants… From Chrissy (The Current Owner of The Set) “The box is the typical representation of the Icons sets:...

During its 48 years of service, its shape remains unchanged, but the variety of colours and prints makes it one of the most aesthetically interesting pieces in the LEGO canon.

Star Wars Minifigure Head Tones, 1999 to 2023 (Including non-printed heads). Data Source: Rebrickable Quick Quiz There are currently 44 solid LEGO colours in use (excluding transparent, pearl etc). But only 40 of them have been used as a printed minifigure head…which four have yet to be used? You can find out at the end of the article.
