Rocking Potted Plant (LEGO 11506)

About this set

LEGO 11506 Rock Potted Plants sits in the LEGO Botanical Collection with a part count of 253 and a difficulty of 3/5. You get two brick-built pots, one tall and one short. The tall pot sends up slender green stems topped with small yellow flowers, while the short pot carries pink blooms; the palette stays on yellow-green, pink, green and red. Both pots have smiley faces and round little hands, so the pair reads like two characters rather than plain plants. For the build, finish both pot bodies and bases first, then handle the stems and flowers. The tall stems are the fiddliest section, so follow the manual step by step and press each segment together firmly instead of adjusting as you go. With 253 pieces split across two pots, neither one is large, and sorting yellow-green, pink, green and red into separate piles speeds up parts hunting. At 3/5 it is not a first-ever set, but there are no complex mechanisms, so anyone with a few small sets behind them can build it alone. It suits plant-themed builders, people who want a small desk display with faces, or collectors keeping the Botanical Collection together; the two pots also work as a two-person build.
