It's annoying to see more harshly negative comments under the popular GWPs ("Lego is too greedy!") than under the boring ones ("Easy pass").The Flowerpot is great if you’ve been waiting to get your hands on it, but if you’re a LEGO Star Wars fan, it’s probably best to wait till May to score some LEGO Star Wars GWPs for May the 4th 2023, which will hopefully be revealed soon! I must admit I really wanted this GWP just for the parts. Usually I won’t build sets I get for parts. I liked the look of this set however. And building something new to me (like flowers) sparked my curiosity further. It’s hard to see the justification for the high spending threshold in my opinion. The previous Easter Bunny GWP was a lot cheaper to get and has a similar building experience and part count. Granted, the parts are more interesting in this set because of the exclusive parts.
A handy companion to the wider LEGO Botanical Collection – which has already grown in 2023 with 10313 Wildflower Bouquet, 10314 Dried Flower Centrepiece and 40646 Daffodils – 40588 Flowerpot repurposes hot air balloon pieces into a pot, then fills it with a colourful assortment of plants. It’s difficult to make out specific species at this stage, beyond what looks like tall pussy willow climbing beyond the rest. 40589 Pirate Ship PlaygroundLego isn't your kind grandparent, and these aren't generous gifts; they're marketing incentives from a massive corporation. I bought the Ideas football table for a friend when it was discounted heavily recently, and all the above conditions applied.
