Yesterday, we did our first of two LEGO Christmas Seasonal sets with the Reindeer (40092). The other Christmas set for the year is the Snowman (40093). The set has 140 pieces and retails for $9.99 for a really good $0.07/piece. The 140 pieces is the second most among the Seasonal creatures for 2014. The box has a small instructions booklet and two un-numbered bags.
The building of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Snowman (40093) is pretty straightforward. You start building the base of the Snowman which is pretty bland. Once you get through that and you start the details, he’ll start coming together quickly. When the body is complete, you build the head which is pretty much the same as the body but a little smaller. It has a orange cone for the nose and a horn piece to represent the mouth. You can flip it either way to have him have a smile or a sad face. Some accessories that the Snowman has is the top hat and a broom.

The LEGO Seasonal Christmas Snowman (40093) makes a great final set to finish out the year of these buildable creatures. Like with the Reindeer set, LEGO has gone with a generic snowman due to legality issues but it does have some references to the popular children’s character, Frosty the Snowman such as the broom, hat, and orange nose.
Again, it is now available at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home for $9.99. Like with the Reindeer set, the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Snowman (40093) makes … Continue

If you didn’t see it yesterday, LEGO announced that the LEGO Botanical Collection will be rebranded next year to just LEGO Botanicals. The theme has been through some changes since its start back in 2020 when it was part of the LEGO Icons theme before becoming the Botanical Collection subtheme. It’s a subtle change but good to see that the sets will get its own theme since they’re pretty popular.
It is unsure how LEGO will categorize the older sets, whether they keep them with Icons/Botanical Collections or just move them over but I assume it’ll be the former. LEGO has done this before, with the more notable sets being the modular buildings switching themes a few times and finally settling in the Icons theme.
The LEGO Botanicals theme will introduce four new sets in 2025, three of which in January and one in February. I’ll definitely be picking up a few of the Lucky Bamboo to decorate around the house even though I have some real ones already.
Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet (10342) – 749 pieces/$59.99
Mini Orchid (10343) – 274 pieces/$29.99
Lucky Bamboo (10344) – 325 pieces/$29.99
Flower Arrangement (10345) -1,165 pieces/$109.99
