It came from a Harry Potter Lego Advent Calendar. My kids didn’t build them right away, and squirrelled them away until recently.

Damn thing drew blood.

    Just some weeks ago, I talked with a friend about how in every Post about Lego, someone just fucking steps into the comments and knows the exact ID of some obscure piece or set shown.

    And now I see your comment 👏

      In this case, I knew it because of a “botanicals” set that I assembled recently.

      Those sets use a lot of pieces in creative ways, often in unusual colors. In particularly obscure cases, like this crown or the rose petals that were originally from a car fender, the manual will include a brief trivia callout.

      I remembered the callout, and that was enough to find it by keyword on the fan database sites.

      I think it’s almost a matter of reverse engineering the info.

      OP said the set.
