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 Jazz Club
Pros
- Three connected venues — jazz club, pizza place, tailor's shop
- Working stage with horn quartet and pianist setup
- New Orleans-style architecture with cast-iron balconies
- Seven characters with story-rich casting (musicians, server, tailor, customers)
- Modular base — connects to the [Boutique Hotel](/reviews/boutique-hotel) and other Modular sets
Cons
- $230 is on the higher end of recent Modular MSRPs
- Cast-iron balcony work is fiddly — small pieces, tight tolerances
- Limited gritty-NOLA character (set is more polished than authentic)
