New for September 2023, we have a new Lego Ideas set, this one being based on some insects.
The set consists of 1111 pieces and was created by fan designer José María Pérez Suero. In the set you are building three insects: the Blue Morpho Butterfly, the Hercules Beetle and the Chinese Mantis.
Starting off with the Blue Morpho Butterfly, we noticed it uses a lot of plates to create the wings, and it looks very nice. At the bottom there is a stand with lots of plants and a bee, which comes from the original design.
The Hercules Beetle is a very nice build, which uses several good building techniques and a lot of yellow and transparent orange pieces. I think the shell uses pieces in yellow for the first time. The stand also looks very nice and has a ladybird from the original design on it.
The Chinese Mantis is made out of bricks and has lots of long legs. The front legs have a sword piece that I think is a new recolour of a Ninjago piece. The other thing that we noticed is that it is very long and also has the wing piece in light green.
This set released on 1st September 2023.
