The new Lego Ideas set, Bird, has officially been unveiled. With exactly five hundred and eighty pieces, it features three birds (a Blue Jay, Hummingbird with flower, and a Robin), extremely detailed, and carefully exposed upon three green plates with the interesting particularity of showing their names in Latin (Cyanocitta cristata,, Colibri Thalassinus and Erithacus Rubecul, respectively).
Despite not being my concept of Lego, I surely agree with those who say that the birds are very beautiful (the several color combination are surely amazing…) and with an awesome detail. The Hummingbird (the green one) has also a yellow flower next to it, on which it seems to be hovering.
The set will start retailing in January and will cost forty five dollars. Have a look at the official details and the gallery:
