LEGO says ‘there are no fixed rules’ on exclusive minifigures in UCS sets
The LEGO Star Wars design team says ‘there are no fixed rules’ when it comes to including exclusive minifigures in UCS sets.

LEGO’s new Star Wars licence rumoured to exclude Collectible Minifigures
The LEGO Group’s reported new Star Wars licence agreement apparently still doesn’t include the option to produce Collectible Minifigures. The blind-bagged characters have expanded their reach to encompass licensed properties like Looney Tunes, The Muppets and even Marvel in recent years, but there’s still no sign of a Collectible Minifigures series based on Star Wars.…

Two more plant-based sets are blooming in the LEGO Botanical Collection next month, with 10309 Succulents joining the already-revealed 10311 Orchid.

LEGO’s biggest Spider-Man set to date swings back on to the online store
Bring us LEGO models of Spider-Man: the biggest set based on the wall-crawler’s comics to date has just swung back in stock online. Just like 10294 Titanic – another massive set that’s just been restocked in the UK and Europe – LEGO Marvel’s largest set has proven tricky to come by over the past few…
