These sets represent two different themes. The Botanical Collection appears more intricate in design and targets older builders. The LEGO® Group advertises the Roses and Tulips sets as “home decor”. However the set numbers closely resemble those types of sets usually classified as “seasonal” or “iconic”. Interestingly, the product descriptions for the Roses and Tulips indicate they are compatible with each other as well as with the Flower Bouquet set from the new Botanical Collection. The home decor sets do not have a release date, however the product descriptions state they make a great Valentines or Mother’s Day gift. What do you think of the botanical sets coming soon from the LEGO® Group? Feel free to comment below or reach out on social media. I know I am looking forward to modifying that bonsai tree for my city’s Ninjago district 😉
Until next time,
