LEGO Ideas 21365 Love Birds announced!

Pretty.

This would be a great addition to a larger forest scene. I wonder if there’s any kind of attachment point underneath.

Good pricing, and the tree is still fantastic!

My wife would be all over this if it was a pair of love *owls* and not pink birds. Somebody get me a Hedwig mod.

1st of Jan could be a busy day!

The birds are rather scary in my view. I appreciate the use of colours to make this an appealing set, but I feel like the birds should have given more of a varied colour palette.

So…is this the typical cardinal situation, or do these birds not display dimorphism?

ok this is adorable

I always wanted a battle droid bird.

Still like it and might get it though!"

My first thought on seeing this was that I would have been more likely to get it if the lovebirds had been those mango-looking ones.

Gorgeous tree build - I might pick this up if I see it for sale in the future.

Very cute. I like this.

Oh, that’s adorable.

Good place to showcase the new pink!

Meh, there’s something really off with the legs that just simply rest on the branch.

My sisters gonna be pissed, she has been so excited hoping for the Snoopy set to come out and was hoping the next announcement would be him

The tree looks phenomenal. The birds, meh. They look good but I’m not as interested. May buy the individual pieces for the tree to add to my landscape

LOL perfect reply!

I like the tree, not sure about the birds.

This might be true this time around, but usually, it goes the other way: goes from "great submission, I want it so badly" to "wow, Lego changed it so much, I now have very little interest in this".

It is indeed a very good looking rendition.

There will be good stud reversal techniques in these birds.

Nitpicking here but it is fairly rare that a male and female bird are identical in appearance.

They indeed look more like robot birds than actual birds, plus their look is a little too evil-ish/angry to be cute for me, but the colors are very nice. Guess I'm the only one who liked the initial submission more for its simplicity

The birds and tree look incredible! Not sure on the bird eyes though.

Agree, the color palette especially is usually way prettier imo

I love the lavender leaves on the fan model, and this would've been an excellent opportunity for the new blue-violet, but hey I'll just modify it myself. that's what Lego's all about.

The bonsai tree is good... the birds not soo much. The way they've done the eyes make them look kinda sinister to me.

It's cute, but unfortunately it's also... reasonably priced? Wait what???

Must be nice. I'm the complete opposite. I was so happy when this won, now I'm not interested.

Everything looks great, except the birds' eyes.

The birds look like they are about to murder each other. The tree is pretty though.

That one picture (https://images.brickset.com/news/127813_Love%205.jpg) looks like the birds are angry that someone interrupted their moment.

Which makes this the perfect gift for a same-sex couple!

It's the official unofficial replacement for the Party Tree in 10354

Hence my question about dimorphism. I always get a chuckle when I see two bright red cardinals posed like they’re cuddling up to each other, and so very rarely see someone make a piece of cardinal merch that has one red and one brown. Maybe once every couple of years I spot one of those. But I don’t know what these birds are based on, and some do have males and females that look alike.

I'm still waiting for a sale.

Great.

A dimorphic response about 'dimorphism.'

Came for the meta-diamorphism, and wasn't disappointed!

Really like this. The identical look of the birds doesn't bother me. The eyes do though. Might have to do some slight modification to those once I get this.

Overall, not a day one purchase for me, but certainly one in the future.
