I did one of those "legos for adults"
I received one of those "Lego Botanicals" plant themed legos for my birthday (which is next week). I haven't done a lego since probably 2017 or 2018, when I did a Star Wars themed set and then left it next to my television for three years without doing anything fun with it at all.
These "adult legos" seem designed specifically for that use case, which is honestly the most adult thing about them. We have a vase that we use when we are periodically given flowers by much older adults, and now they have the fake lego flowers in them. We are so extremely basic that the Danish toy wizards have intuited our home situation and family dynamic and created a lego for it exactly.
I have to repeat what everyone says abut these sets: one of the most fun things about them is that they use funny little pieces in weird and unexpected ways. Little frogs becoming buds, viking axes becoming petals, and so on.
I also like all the little tricks they do in the set to break up the silhouette of a flower so that it looks different from the other flowers of the same species which are in the set. The set I got, "Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet," is meant to be cut flower stems which slide into a vase you supply yourself. They make the stems variable lengths, so that the flowers will sit at varying heights, and connect them in odd ways as well, so that one flower might be alone on its stem, but the next flower in the same style will be bunched with others. They connect using pieces which are non-rectilinear, so the silhouettes of the cut stems are rather natural-looking and easy to adjust into different shapes.
Anyway, I'm very late to the party on this particular thing, but it is cool, and it was fun to make, and I do now understand why these particular lego lines took off so well. If you are not playing with your legos every day, you are going to be leaving them out to just sit around. And if you are going to leave them out to sit around, it's good to have some which are visually complex, brightly colored, adjustable, and meant to pair with some object you already have in your home, like a mason jar or a vase. Real adult-coded shit.
Also, I really like that the "persian buttercup" flower was made of viking axes! I've got so many etra viking axes now. I have no idea why they gave me so many. I've got to think of something to do with nine orange viking axes!
