My copy of 40426 Christmas Wreath currently hangs on my LEGO room door. I think this is a perfect successor, and hope that LEGO continues other similarly themed ornaments throughout the year. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{

Two other alternative builds are shown in the instruction book, but with this being LEGO, I created my own version using most of the extra pieces to the alternative build. While standing in line on January 1 at my local LEGO store, 40638 Heart Ornament caught my eye. I was hoping to find some seasonal builds, but hadn't seen this one before. The decorations are quite detailed, there are several layers which adds to the effectiveness of the build.Inside the box are three numbered bags. The contents of the first bag make the base of the heart, which is quite sturdy and put together with hinge pieces. The final heart shape is quite effective. There aren't any particularly rare pieces included, though there are a number of 1x2 hinge plates in red. I have been trying to make a heart shape for a Friend's display (cos it is Heartlake City) and nothing ever looks right.

There are more decorative pieces provided than what's needed for the main build, emphasising blue, green, and lilac colours, and some alternate orange colours for the centres of the flowers. For those of you wondering "Why isn't it perfect?" I would have to say that my wife normally doesn't think of ABS as a suitable material for a gift. :-)" That is quite nice, but I'm sure in my day "impulse buys" were less than a fiver - I must be getting old :D
