@arsenicspud 3 года назад

Great review! I think the brown "vines" might be meant to represent the wires you wrap around a bonsai to train its shape.

@JANGBRiCKS 3 года назад

Interesting. I would have never thought of that because these are on the mature trunk and not the branches. Do they ever get left on permanently? I thought wrapped wires were only used on growing tissues. Correcting slowly developing deviations on heavily lignified tissues typically requires a significantly stronger technique.

@RobertVlcek 3 года назад

Little suggestion for the treehouse: use the green leaves as the base and add the fall leaves. Except for one bag I used all leaf pieces. Gives it a lusher look and it feels more like indian summer (if you have some red leaf pieces use them too).

@twinceptionproductions6083 3 года назад

I’ve always been a fan of bonsai trees, so this set is definitely high on my list. Great little display piece, and I’m glad it won’t break the bank.

@fi0062 3 года назад

This set looks amazing, I'm glad I was able to order one. On an off note for anyone who might be interested; the "vines" that swirl around it are actually supposed to replicate the wire used to shape the tree and hold it in place as it grows. It's a small detail but it's cool to see it incorporated into an official set.

@JANGBRiCKS 3 года назад

Strange he decided to wrap them around the mature trunk that wouldn't have it on a real bonsai tree as opposed to the softer limbs that actually need and can benefit from them.

@fi0062 3 года назад

@@JANGBRiCKS My guess is that the wire was never removed after the tree matured but that's half the fun of Lego; everyone decides their own story.

@MarelorMoon 3 года назад

Honestly: I love this set and the whole theme and also the bouquet that was released as well. I studied agricultural sciences, so I am more into vegetables and fruit trees, but this gives me so many ideas to build similar plants, I can't wait until they release a whole tree or plant of some kind, maybe I will make my own tomatoe plant soon
