How will we react when 10 or 20 years later we go to pick up some bricks, or pull out that rare unopened box stashed away for future collectors, and find the bricks break and crumble to dust because they are designed to be bio(degrade)able? It could work for Lego to force new replacement purchases, but given the nature of the product and the community this could be a time-bomb of unhappiness heading towards Lego HQ.

However the desire within TLG to create mini ball joints had apparently been floating around for many years; it was the sheer complexity of designing/moulding these parts that meant it kept getting put on the back burner. <br /><br />I've ended up calling them Mixel joints really because everyone else does... and I guess that's because the Mixels were just so iconic and these parts so obvious in the builds.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188856208086872634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-28713029896282289382018-08-01T13:08:55.243+01:002018-08-01T13:08:55.243+01:00Awww how cute.

Firstly huge areas of ancient forest are being felled and burned to make way for these giant sugar cane plantations in countries like Indonesia - secondly the diversion of food crops into plastic production forces up food prices generating hunger and poverty. Surely it's better to make plastics from a plentiful cheap underground source which no other living creature relies upon: oil & gas. Instead TLG are burning forests which millions of living creatures depend upon - and diverting food crops which could otherwise feed millions of people.
