Exclusivity

The Brick Fan: Seasonal release

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Seasonal set (Valentine's Day); limited distribution window typical of seasonal releases.

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Sand green profile bricks
Only appeared in two other sets; this set contains seven of them, making it the most efficient way to collect them. These elements are expensive on BrickLink.
Light yellow 1x1 plate pieces (4 of them)
Previously only obtained in the Uni-Kitty set; this is a fresh distribution of a rare color in an uncommon piece type.
Sand blue garage door runner side pieces (8 pieces)
Sand blue is not a color normally distributed; combined with an infrequently-used piece type, this is a 'double kind of rarity'.
Sand green colored brick pieces
Newly introduced color, just starting to appear in demolition sets.
Dark red 4x4 round plate
Used for the table setting; described as 'really nice'.
Jeweled trans dark pink heart piece (in bottle)
Decorative unique element for the romantic centerpiece.
