The first new Lego sets of 2025 have been announced, including Robert Indiana’s LOVE sculpture and a bouquet of pretty pink flowers.
As essentially a toy company, you might’ve expected Lego to want to have all its big new products out in time for Christmas, even the ones that are aimed at adults – like the new model of Shackleton’s ship Endurance.
But actually, one of the busiest times of year for Lego, when it comes to releasing new sets, is first thing in January, with the ones revealed today having a decidedly mellow and artistic theme to them.
The first is a recreation of Robert Indiana’s iconic pop art display LOVE! and the other is some new plant-based sets from the increasingly popular Botanicals range.

Robert Indiana’s LOVE sculpture was first created as a simple card design in 1964, before being made into increasingly larger sculptures over the years, starting in 1970. That means the first sculpture will be 55 years old in 2025, when the Lego version comes out.
The finished Lego model is 25cm high and 25cm wide and will cost £69.99. It’s not out until January 1 but you can already pre-order it from the Lego website.
The Flower Arrangement set even has its own vase (Lego)
Also due to be released on New Year’s Day are four new Botanical sets of various sizes. Botanicals has become one of Lego’s most popular adult-orientated lines in recent years, with many different sets based on all kinds of different plants and flowers.
The biggest of the new sets is the Botanicals Flower Arrangement, which costs £94.99 and is made up of 1,161 pieces. It comes with its own chalice vase and special pins that allow you to arrange the flowers however you want, including brick-built camellia, hydrangeas, peonies, baby’s breath, bouvardia, ranunculus, and lilies.
Since the Botanicals Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet doesn’t have a brick-built vase it costs just £54.99 for 749 pieces, with 15 different stems and foliage, including cornflowers, daisies, elderflowers, eucalyptus, roses, cymbidium orchids, ranunculus, a campanula, and a waterlily dahlia. You can display the flowers however you want, either separately, in a real vase, or combine it with previous Botanicals bouquet sets.
The two smaller sets are both £24.99, with the Botanicals Mini Orchid having five flowers in bloom, plus a number of others just budding. It comes with its own flowerpot, meant to resemble terracotta, and stands 25cm tall on a wood-effect plinth.
Finally, there’s the Botanicals Lucky Bamboo, which has three bamboo stems and Lego studs taking the place of pebbles at the bottom of its brick-built plant pot and plinth. Along with the Mini Orchid, it’s the final part of the ‘Four Gentlemen’ quartet of smaller Botanical sets, along with the previously released Chrysanthemum and Plum Blossom.
All the Botanicals sets can be found at the Lego website and Lego stores, while the January release date means they and the LOVE sculpture are well in time for Valentine’s Day in February and Mother’s Day in March.
