LEGO Creator Tulips Set 40461

Product Information

These sets present an affordable entry to the new botanical collection and look beautiful and realistic when placed in an attractive vase, although I don't think the two varieties display that well together. The stems are constructed using the same straight and angled Technic connectors as in the larger set, which can be shortened, straightened, or lengthened as needed by adding and/or replacing parts.

The way they are connected looks slightly awkward but most likely they'll be inside the vase and out of sight anyway. Within each of the botanical-themed sets from the LEGO Group in 2021, the leaves have been represented by an assortment of techniques and elements, with 40461 Tulips employing the use of a Hero Factory blade/weapon for the job. The three heads -- white, cool yellow and medium lavender -- are constructed using two of the very useful Brick 1X2X1 2/3, W/ 8 Knobs, design ID 67329, which is ideal for building SNOT squares like this.A single 2×2 jumper plate on the top/inside of the ‘cube’ with an added plant flower stem completes the tulip head.

The pterodactyl wing leaves have been replaced with a green NEXO Knight canopies which I think are more suitable. The easy-to-assemble set comes with 3 blooms – 1 white, 1 purple and 1 yellow – with bright green leaves to symbolize the fresh new life of spring.com) 10280 Flower Bouquet showcasing exquisite advances in realistic design, it makes perfect sense that a new tulip model is available alongside the new adult-targeted Botanical Collection range. Your mind doesn't count quick enough after 5 or 7 unless things are grouped such at you can quickly count. It’s not a major eyesore by any means, but it does seem like a missed opportunity for a new element re-colour. Until the day comes where we see a LEGO Honey I Shrunk The Kids-themed set, minifigures wouldn’t be appropriate (nor to scale) here. In addition to the two 18+ botanical sets, 10280 Flower Bouquet and 10281 Bonsai Tree that we reviewed recently, two smaller ones with a younger age rating have also been released, 40460 Roses and 40461 Tulips, just in time for Valentine's Day.

Ad: If you purchase anything via the links in this article, Brickset will receive a small commission.The three herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes share the same design DNA as all the other flowers in the botanical collection but are the only ones with lime-green stems, formed using 3-long Technic connectors which in that colour are unique to this set. The bright yellow-green of the stem itself has a strong contrast with the bright green of the leaves. I think the red roses look much better than the other ones, although I do appreciate that the Lego designers tried something different.
