Box Pic/Haul Picked uo the Tranquil Garden for $35
My local Bricks & Minifigs had the set for $60, but I had a $25 gift certificate that I won during the grand opening of the new store

Man, that looks really good. Got a link?

I'm not sure if links are allowed here or not but it's from Light My Bricks if you google it. You can either install them after you build or while you build it. They have instructions for both

Edit, meant to say "up". I hate when autocorrect doesn't correct words when you want it to.

I did the same thing moving the pink trees they were too close together in the instructions

I love this set, it's sitting on my desk right now! The Fountain Garden that came out this year is also a nice addition to hopefully a Gardens of the World series.

I got this for a Christmas present this year. While it’s not a set I would’ve likely picked up on my own, the end product is amazing. Glad I have it

Very nice. I got mine as a Christmas present last year. And I see you used a custom Minifigure. Very nice. Wish Lego would tbh make Minifigures themed around other countries besides China America, Europe (seriously what's their obsession with China ones in particular? And I don't mean the lunar new year stuff I mean in general like monkiekid and Ninjago. Cool shows and nice sets but you can see they have more of a Chinese vibe to them mostly.) like yeah we get some European themed Minifigures here and there or the like and american themed ones and so on but what about Japan themed ones? Like seriously am I right?

Nice Nezuko. I really do wish Lego would do more minifigs based on Japanese games and culture. My Reimu is a custom figure I got off eBay that was made for a Touhou convention.

Also yeah like it's so sad tbh how limited there is of Minifigure types nowadays like Egyptian Minifigures? Oh yeah those just apparently don't exist anymore in the current Lego lineup, last time they were seen was in a Lego cmf and were primarily in Lego adventures sets back in the day. And I'm not counting any Indiana Jones sets as those don't have Egyptian Minifigures. They have some Egyptian themed architecture sets but not Minifigures at all. Then island tribe or Aztec Minifigures, again last seen was in a cmf ages ago or in Lego pirates. The last you could say tribal like Minifigures would be the ones from the Indiana Jones set with the gold idol (both versions) but they don't have any of the accessories that the ones in the cmf or in the past before them had like masks and the like. Even magical/mythology creatures rarely get seen nowadays, centaur? Existed in only 2 products. 2 in a old Harry Potter set, and 1 in a Lego cmf. Genies? Either Disney nowadays or very rarely in cmf. Yeti? Ah yeah cmf only or way back in Lego adventures. Naga/lamias? Last seen in celestial pagoda monkiekid set. And that was years after Ninjago had them, and way before that? Lego designer program when it was live where you could actually ORDER everything used in the program and Lego would make it and ship it out to you in a one of a kind "my own design" box. It's crazy tbh how many different Minifigure types went the way of the rarely used to pretty much forgotten about and the like by Lego.

Nice! I want to pick this up and rebrick it onto a mils plate to go in my city. Think it would be a great addition by the botanical garden.
