Way back in March, LEGO announced that they will be producing LEGO plant elements using plant-based plastic in a move to use sustainable materials in a majority of the products and packaging by 2030. The first set that has been released using this initiative is the Plants from Plants (40320) set. You can get for free from now until until August 14 with purchases of $35 or more, while supplies last. The box is a small one similar to the small Creator sets. What’s interesting about the box is that there’s printing of the perforated push box but it doesn’t work, instead, I just cut open the tape and to my surprise, the box isn’t actually perforated.

His accessories include a new short wand piece...

Last week I ran a contest for some SDCC 2018 LEGO swag including some posters and the Jessica Cruz minifigure. The contest is now over with over 8,600 entries and the winner is: Cesar R.
