LEGO® Malaysia: Bunga Raya

Description

The national flower

Bunga raya is the Malay word for hibiscus, and the bloom is regarded as Malaysia's national flower. The set renders it in bricks across 133 pieces and belongs to a series that shows symbols of individual countries and cities. There are no minifigures; the flower is the whole subject. It goes together in only a few steps, which makes it a calm little project for a spare hour that does not need much experience. Its simple, clear form makes it easy to recognise even at this small size.

Strong colours

The main colours are red, yellow, green and dark red. Red and dark red shape the petals, yellow adds accents at the centre, and green stands for leaves and stem. With 31 unique parts among 133, the selection is modest but not dull. That mix of many identical parts and a few special ones keeps the flower's shape clearly recognisable while still giving it some finer detail. Small details add depth to the bloom so that it does not look flat on the shelf.

A souvenir in bricks

The set comes from the Brand Stores and is a collectable and decoration piece rather than a toy. On a shelf or desk the red bloom catches the eye at once, and next to the other models in the Malaysia series it forms a small collection. If you have a link to the country, it becomes a personal keepsake that never wilts. As a gift for flower lovers the compact model is a pleasant idea as well. With a little room on the windowsill it even becomes a lasting replacement for real flowers.

Parts list and rebuilding

All 31 different elements are listed with colours and quantities on this page. Use “What can I build?” to see which other models your collection could produce once the flower has been taken apart. Red, yellow and green parts are particularly sought after for custom gardens, flowers or landscapes, so it pays to look closely through the list. That way the bloom can supply material for quite different models, without you buying any new bricks.
