Interesting parts
New mould: Technic Connector Triple (7329)
- 6x Technic Connector Triple in Bright Green (6545176 | 7329)
This is close to the very recent Technic Axle and Pin Connector Angled Quadruple - 60° (6611) but has only three connectors; thus, the analysis of part 6611 that TobyMac posted is applicable here as well.
Introducing this in bright green is zany - I expect LEGO® Technic builders will look forward to black and grey ones as well.
The angles are 60° and 120°, making the wider angle identical with the original triple connector (10288) from 2012. First, I though the angle was same as on Technic connector #4, but as Toby pointed out, its angle is 135°, as eight of them form an octagon.
As our dear commentators pointed out, three of them can indeed be pushed together without stressing the parts if all the pieces are pushed simultaneously. The resulting combination is pretty, and strong.
With six pieces included, an hexagon with additional axle connections can be built. Building various esoteric symbols with these parts is fun!
LEGO math-heads should be able to tell me why this gap is exactly 3 modules wide. I'm happy about it.
Recolours
- 12x Mini Ghost / Bell-Shaped Flower in Bright Light Blue (6546392 | 6017)
- 8x Plant, Sunflower 2 x 2 with 16 Petals in White (6545156 | 6901)
The white flowers will be good for architectural ornamentation. Both of these pieces were introduced earlier this year in 10342 Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet - in opposite colours! You can get part analysis from my review of set 10342 from December 2024.
- 22x Equipment Oar / Paddle End in Bright Pink (6545175 | 31990)
This is the fourth time a flower with paddle petals is released, this time in refreshing bright pink.
- 32x Plant, Plate 1 x 1 Round with 3 Leaves in Bright Light Yellow (6545172 | 32607)
- 8x Technic Axle 16 in Bright Green (6546387 | 50451)
Rare parts
- 2x Brick Round 1 x 1 diameter Tube with 90 Degree Elbow (2 x 2 x 1) and Axle Holes (Crossholes) at each end in Bright Green (6526749 | 25214) - also in 10344 Lucky Bamboo (review of set 10344 by me)
- Steering Wheel with 4 Studs on Center in Yellow (6389951 | 67811) - in 2 other sets
- Steering Wheel with 4 Studs on Center in White (6437702 | 67811) - in 2 other sets

The Flowers
Finding an appropriate vase for this was not straightforward; I tried several glasses and jam jars to find one with a narrow enough opening and a fitting depth. Somehow, the usual large bouquets are easier, as they can be displayed in vases designed for real flowers. It also seems that these flowers are similar in stalk height, so the blossoms don't pile up as beautifully as with the larger bouquets; thus, the green stalk mess forms a significant part of the whole.
The colours are fresh, with the dominating yellow accented by bright pink and bright light blues. There's a pleasant mix of shapes, from smaller colour dots to larger shapes. However, I feel that one of the three yellow flower types would have been better in some other hue. I like yellow - but this is not the most interesting mix.
Furthermore, I think that the billy buttons and daisies would have benefitted from longer stalks, enabling positions above the larger blossoms and leaves. In contrast, the bluebells arch over the composition beautifully.
I praised the daisies in 10342 Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet as they looked deceivingly realistic with their hair tuft pieces (68212). These are not as good, which is a pity, as the piece would have been available in bright light orange.
The layered yellow yarrows look great - the idea of layering the triple leaf pieces with accessory flowers is remarkable, utilising 2L bar with middle ring and plume hole in end.
Eero Okkonen's MOC: Soothsayer of the Groves
This model began before I even received this set: A ruffled white dress for an unknown character. It had sat on my table for a month or so. I returned to it when I realised that the recoloured bright light yellow triple leaf piece (6545172 | 32607) completes a nice gradient from white to orange for this mould.
Finally, I expanded the colour scheme with the staff, recycling the idea of the large daisy with a more colourful design. Equipment like this enables more dynamic posing options.

Fantastic review, and lovely MOC!
ReplyDeleteThe new Technic connectors this year are very welcome, particularly since it allows for rigid connections at acute angles. They will definitely be of great use for trusses (though my mind jumped to bridges, not buildings). Other ideas that jump to mind include streetlamps, large-scale bike frames, tent/awning supports, and perhaps even the classic "pipe frame" kart from the Mario Kart series!
More flower and leaf recolors are also always welcome. The bluebells do make me wonder how one might best make that hanging bell-shaped sort of flower at minifig scale, though. The various flora in the Great Deku tree set inspired me to try building a lot of different plants, flowers, and mushrooms from "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", but I have yet to come up with a design I like for the Blue Nightshade. https://zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/Blue_Nightshade The flowers themselves are small enough that I can take liberties with their shape, so the bigger challenge is figuring out what part would make a good curvy stem to suspend multiple small flower pieces from.
