Extra Pieces: Modular, Botanicals, Chinese New Year and More
Welcome back: In this episode we consider some of the Big Philosophical Questions:
There’s a new Modular and Botanical to be released in December - not January as we have become accustomed.
Is it my imagination, or are Christmas and New Year starting sooner than usual?
The silly season (for LEGO news) is now underway, with new reveals and deals coming along on a daily basis...
Reveals and Reviews:
LEGO Botanicals 10639 Tiny Plants - to be released in December, this is a return to the "I can't believe that it's LEGO" that we have seen in the range previously.
