Review: 10368 Chrysanthemum & 10369 Plum Blossom from LEGO® Icons Botanical Collection
LEGO® Icons sets tend to be expensive; often priced in the triple digit spending realm. LEGO Icons Botanical Collection sets have been more affordable, with the most expensive to date, 10289 Bird of Paradise (review by Victor Pruvost), breaking the 100 € ceiling in some countries. Outside of the Botanical Collection branding, LEGO has released smaller flower-themed sets within the price range of one or two dozen euros.
Two new sets available in August 2024, 10368 Chrysanthemum and 10369 Plum Blossom, combine these two ideas – a low price point of about 30 € each, and lifestyle picture-worthy aesthetics and quality. How do they fare, and what are they made of?

LEGO® Icons review + MOC: 10328 Bouquet of Roses
The Botanical Collection is a subtheme of LEGO® Icons that features relatively affordable sets. In reality, similar life-size botanical subjects have found their way to other LEGO themes, too, including LEGO® Creator and, surprisingly, LEGO® Disney Princess sets. For me, these sets appeal as beautiful models. However, I'm foremost a MOC maker, and they are very good material for own creations – they include usually many of the same pieces, often in bright colours and sleek, organic shapes.

LEGO® Icons 10337 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV: review & designer interview

LEGO® Icons review: 10338 Bumblebee
I was highly sceptical when the rumours of a LEGO® Optimus Prime first surfaced: two of the largest toy-making rivals cooperating? I'd certainly get hit in the face by a flying pig before that! It turned out set 10302 Optimus Prime was very real and I need to be on the lookout for airborne swine. Now lightning strikes twice and another famous Transformers character gets the LEGO treatment, namely 10338 Bumblebee. This means plenty of yellow elements to play with.

LEGO® Icons review: 10332 Medieval Town Square
Hear ye, hear ye! The fan-favorite LEGO® Castle System has returned once again in the form of LEGO® Icons 10332 Medieval Town Square. The set was released at the start of March, and marketed as a reimagining of 2009's 10193 Medieval Market Village, and a companion set to 10305 Lion Knights' Castle.
Considering the excellence of these previous sets, we were eager to examine 10332 Medieval Town Square to see how it compares!

LEGO® Icons review: 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr
Today we cast our fiery eye over the new, massive LEGO® Barad-dûr. The 83cm-tall tower of Mordor is the next LEGO® Icons The Lord of the Rings set, and features not only detailed minifigures, but also some precious recolours and prints. As a huge LOTR fan, I will try my luck to simply walk into Mordor.
