LEGO Creator Valentines Lovebirds 40522

Product Information

As you can se, both birds are identical, with variances in the colour. I’m not an expert on birds, so I’m not sure if the colours are supposed to denote their sex.

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. 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. From the rear things don’t look as great – again that heart just doesn’t seem as polished as the rest of the set.

As a standalone set, they make a great display piece, and if you’re a fan of birds, you’ll definitely enjoy building or displaying them. I can see these being really popular sets, like 40524 Sunflowers or roses come Valentine’s Day! The assembled Love Bird set is very adorable. The birds are mounted on 2×2 turntables, allowing for a limited amount of posing. But no matter which way you turn them, they still feel like they’re having a great time together. 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. 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. 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. Note that I changed the orientation of the lower bird to make their beaks touch, which I think looks much better.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 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.
