Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel
Pros
- Five fully-furnished floors — lobby, gallery, hotel rooms, rooftop lounge
- Art Deco facade with green-and-cream colour palette
- Built-in art gallery with three displayed paintings (rotates with mood)
- Modular base — connects to other Modular Buildings Collection sets
- Seven characters — guests, bellhop, gallery attendant
Cons
- Modular Building Collection footprint (32cm × 32cm base)
- Once you start the Modular collection, you'll want them all
- Some sticker work on the gallery painting tiles
LEGO Icons NASA Artemis Space Launch System
Pros
- 1m of vertical display height — the tallest LEGO space set ever made
- Iconic orange-and-white SLS livery in actual brick colour, not stickers
- Removable Orion spacecraft sub-build at the top
- Mobile launcher tower with detailed servicing arms
- Booster separation stages display modes
Cons
- Vertical footprint demands 1m+ of ceiling clearance
- Mobile launcher tower is tall and tip-prone — anchor it
- Some sticker work on the SLS livery panels
