3. Assembly Instructions

The LEGO Botanical Collection sets are designed for adult builders and come with detailed, step-by-step graphical instructions. Please refer to the dedicated instruction booklets included in each set for precise assembly guidance.

1. Unpack and Sort: Carefully open the packaging for each set (10328 and 10280). Empty the contents onto a clean, flat surface. It is recommended to sort the LEGO bricks by color or type to facilitate the building process.
2. Consult Instruction Booklets: Each set includes its own comprehensive instruction booklet. Follow the numbered steps precisely. Do not skip steps, as this may lead to incorrect assembly.
3. Piece Identification: Pay close attention to the images in the instruction booklet to correctly identify each piece before attaching it. Some small pieces may look similar.
4. Secure Connections: Ensure all LEGO bricks are firmly pressed together to create stable connections. A loose connection can affect the structural integrity of the model.
5. Adjustable Stems (Set 10280): For the Flower Bouquet (Set 10280), the stems are designed to be adjustable. You can bend or shorten them to fit your chosen vase or display container. Refer to the specific instructions for stem adjustment.
6. Display: Once assembled, place your botanical creations in a suitable vase or display area. The Rose Bouquet (Set 10328) is designed with long stems for this purpose.

Note: These sets contain small parts and are recommended for ages 18 and up due to complexity and potential choking hazards for younger children.

4. Care and Maintenance

To keep your LEGO Botanical Collection models looking their best, follow these simple care guidelines:

• Dusting: Regularly dust your models using a soft brush, a can of compressed air, or a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the bricks.
• Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, gently wash the LEGO bricks with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow them to air dry completely before reassembling or displaying. Do not use hot water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the colors of the LEGO bricks to fade over time. Display your models in a location away from direct sunlight to preserve their vibrancy.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep the bricks in a clean, dry container away from extreme temperatures and humidity.

5. Troubleshooting

Should you encounter any issues during assembly or with your completed model, consider the following:

• Missing Pieces: While rare, if you find a piece is missing, first double-check all packaging and sorting areas. If still missing, contact LEGO Customer Service directly for replacement parts.
• Incorrect Assembly: If a section of your model does not look right or pieces do not fit, carefully retrace your steps in the instruction booklet. Disassemble the problematic section and reassemble it, paying close attention to piece orientation and connection points.
• Stability Issues: Ensure all bricks are fully pressed together. Loose connections are the most common cause of instability.
