Not Quite Natural
" As a bonsai and Lego enthusiast, I was really excited to get this model. While it was fun to build, it wasn't as interesting as I'd hoped. My main issue is the shape of the trunk; the smooth curvature and unvarying branching gives a more or less mechanical, almost cybernetic look rather than the graceful bends of an actual bonsai. I would have liked to see two or three levels of tapered leaf structure, rather than just the flat grouping on top. The "pebbles" in the pot are just lazy and could have benefited from an actual built structure. As for the pink frog blossoms, I actually really like those and found them a fun use of an unusual piece! It gives it a whimsical twist... but then, I am also an owner of pet frogs, so I might be a little biased. Overall a nice set, and I hope LEGO will put out more Bonsai sets in the future! "
I would recommend this to a friend!
