LEGO Advent Calendars: (a little) less plastic ...

The real good news today comes from the LEGO Star Wars 2017 Advent Calendar (LEGO ref. 75184). It does not come from the contents of this box, but from its packaging.

Exit the usual black insert with its thermoformed plastic boxes and welcome to a new cardboard version bearing the FSC MIX label which means that the product is made from a minimum of 70% wood fibers from FSC certified forests. and / or recycled fibers and a maximum of 30% of controlled wood and / or recycled fibers.

I can see the disappointment from here in those who generally reused this plastic insert to sort or store their parts, but this change is rather good news for the environment.

I'm not going to put you through the ordeal of the mini-thing to assemble every day nor (over) analyze the playful and cultural significance of all these mini-tricks, we will speak again just in due course of the minifigs provided in this LEGO Star Wars 2017 calendar. .

If you don't have your copy of the LEGO Star Wars version yet, know that there are some left on the official LEGO store at the price of 23.09 € instead of 32.99 €.

From amazon, this set is offered at 19.99 € but it is being restocked with a date set for December 11th.
