Pros & cons

What I actually noticed.

LEGO Icons Botanical Garden

Pros

  • Victorian glass-greenhouse architecture with detailed iron framework
  • Fountain courtyard with cobblestone tile work and seating
  • Seven character minifigures spanning gardeners and visitors
  • Full interior plant displays — orchids, ferns, tropical species
  • Pairs naturally with the LEGO Botanical Collection plant sets

Cons

  • Glass-roof aesthetic means strong lighting matters for display
  • Some intricate iron-framework pieces are fiddly
  • Some sticker work on the interior plant labels

LEGO Icons Ghostbusters Ecto-1

Pros

  • Iconic 1959 Cadillac Ecto-1 silhouette with movie-accurate proportions
  • Working sirens (visual rotation, not lit)
  • Equipment bay with proton packs, ghost trap, and PKE meter
  • Opening doors, hood, and trunk for full interior access
  • Roof-mounted equipment is removable for transport-mode display

Cons

  • No included minifig (it's a vehicle, not a vignette)
  • Some sticker work on the side panels and windows
  • Size demands a wider shelf than the [Land Rover Defender](/reviews/land-rover)
