Lego Game Boy 72046 vs Lego Botanicals Magnolia Branches

These are two adult LEGO display sets with almost nothing in common. The Game Boy is a near 1:1 brick replica of the original handheld with working-feeling buttons, a contrast dial, volume dial, Game Pak slot and interchangeable lenticular Zelda and Super Mario Land cartridges, so it is the one for Nintendo fans and retro gamers. The Magnolia Branches is a 435-piece botanical build of five branches in two petal shades, meant to sit in a vase as floral decor. Builders rate the Game Boy highly for its accuracy and interactive details; the Magnolia is praised as a calm build and a long-lasting decoration. Buy the Game Boy for nostalgia and play value, the Magnolia for a gift or a room that needs flowers that never wilt.

• Choose the Lego Game Boy if you grew up with the handheld, want pressable buttons and swappable game cartridges, and want a conversation piece on a shelf.
• Choose the Lego Botanicals Magnolia Branches if you want flowers for a table or a gift for a plant lover, and you would rather build something decorative than something electronic.
