LEGO Creator Valentines Lovebirds 40522

Product Information

These three birds are well recognised around the world and would allow a larger target market as there is one European bird, one North American bird and a tropical bird. Below I have listed three small birds that came top in a recent supporter vote. I think these could easily be recreated by LEGO's professional builders. Oh and last but not least, you also get a teaser of the next LEGO Seasonal set – 40523 Easter Rabbits on the box and in the instruction manual! After all of the effort I have put into this project I really want it to pass the review stage so I am quite flexible with what the final set would consist of, the above are suggestions as to what I think would work best. Here’s a look at the branch and base that the Lovebirds stand on. As you can see, each Lovebird is placed on a swivel….

LEGO have couples in mind with the set, and as you can see, you get 2 instruction booklets so you can build together, which I think is a brilliant date idea for Valentine’s Day, especially if you’re looking to get your significant other into LEGO, or if you’re thinking of a cute little gift. Note that I changed the orientation of the lower bird to make their beaks touch, which I think looks much better.

The end result is really pleasing, with the LEGO Designer deftly capturing the proportions, and look of real Lovebirds, with slight exaggerations to get them to look like LEGO.

I think it would be a great shame and an anticlimax for all of my dedicated fans and supporters if there was only one bird in a set from the dozens I have built so far for this project. If you’re looking for fun LEGO-based activities that you can indulge in with your partner, crush or family member – Valentine Lovebirds is the perfect solution. I also think that if these birds were turned into official sets they would be inspirational to both children and adults and would be a great gift for anybody. They would sell very well in zoos, museums, wildlife centres, and of course the LEGO store. If there are any concerns that LEGO CUUSOO have with creating multiple birds in one set and we have to choose just one then Bobby the Robin Red Breast would be my choice. He was the first bird I built and the inspiration behind this whole project. He is also one of the worlds most recognised small birds. If LEGO CUUSOO think that they could create a set using a different bird from my substantial collection then I would be happy for them to use one of these.I find birds a great subject to build with LEGO and I'm sure from the great response I have had on this project that thousands of other people would too. These would make great gifts come Valentine’s Day, or even yet, building together with your date or partner, which again, is a great way to introduce them to LEGO! Valentine’s Lovebirds is available now from LEGO.com and LEGO stores, and is a really fun couples set that you can look forward to building with your partner, or crush this Valentine’s Day.
