The Adults Welcome section of the LEGO Shop has provided a teaser image of the upcoming LEGO Ideas The Botanical Garden (21353). The garden seems to be rather large, probably the size of modular and it looks to include a number of minifigures as well. The caption shows the set as a campaign promo so it doesn’t look like LEGO wasn’t ready to show it yet but hopefully the official reveal should be coming soon.

Presumably the last LEGO shop set that will be released this year is the Bakery (40696). The set has 376 pieces and we’re assuming it’ll require a $200 purchase, similar to the previous shop sets.
The front of the Bakery has your typical boutique style design with the two windows on the sides of the door. Inside the windows, there are two giant cupcakes which is probably deceptive marketing.
The awning uses a combination of red and dark red slopes. The bakery sign uses a sticker and there’s a croissant logo above it.
On the second floor, there are some more smaller windows with some dark green awning above them.
On the back side of the bakery, it has an open concept as there is no back wall. This has stuck with all four of the shops that have released this year. The bottom floor has a showcase showing some of their offerings as well as a counter with more baked goods laying around.
The upper floor has some seating as well as an island of pastries in the middle.
Overall, the LEGO Bakery (40696) isn’t a bad model but the thing that holds it back is the $200 purchase price requirement to get it. Although the model is fairly detailed, I don’t think it is worth the $200 purchase but if you’re already collecting the line, you’ll most likely get the last one. LEGO likes to double up on promotions for these sets so it’s more incentive to make a larger purchase so it’ll probably … Continue
