Lego Icons Bonsai Tree 10281 — 878-piece adult botanical building set with interchangeable green leaves and pink cherry blossoms

My 10 year old son and I built this set together. He’s moved past a lot of the more basic Lego City, Harry Potter and Jurassic World sets and is wanting to try more unique Lego sets. This set lives up to creativity! Like nothing I have seen before from Lego. The bonsai tree comes with both standard green leaves or they can be switched out to cherry blossoms. When I opened the box, initially I wasn’t sure what to make of the hundred plus pink frogs. We had seen the frog piece before in green with various other sets (Harry Potters and a treehouse set). It turned out amazing and the cherry blossoms were beautiful. Such a creative way to reimagine a piece! This entire line uses existing piece types in re-imagined ways and they are incredible. Can’t wait to try a few other sets, especially the aquarium. Overall the build took us about two hours as we did a bit of pickup and put down. But it was so much fun! Challenging in a few spots to keep us both entertained. My son needed help in a few areas with the trunk. Not entirely suitable to a younger builder but could be done with some adult help. This is not a “play” set but rather a display piece and it’s amazing! Lego has given us hundreds of hours of electronics free time over the years and we will forever be loyal Lego builders.

I was so excited to get my own Lego set instead of a kids set. This set didn’t disappoint. The instructions are easy to follow and the parts are separated in numbered bags. I love that you can either have a green leave bonsai or pink flowers. I chose pink but it will be simple to change it to green when I want. This set took me about 2 hours to construct with interruptions. I do help put Lego together regularly with my kids so I have experience. And the best thing yet, the tool this set comes with to separate pieces put together incorrectly is a life saver. First set I’ve ever had it come with. I will be buying more of these adult sets. This tree looks so pretty on my dresser.

It's a great piece of lego, beautiful. The build was fun and relaxing. In my opinion it is worth the money.
