LEGO has officially revealed the next LEGO Ideas gift with purchase set coming soon with the Friendly Snails (40788). The set was part of the Build the Gift of Purchase Set of Your Dreams building contest last year with Jagamax being the winning fan designer. It has 264 pieces and will be available starting on July with purchases of $160/€160, while supplies last.
The set features two snails with decorated shells along with a bee, log, rock, puddle, and greenery on a display.
Amazon has dropped the price of the LEGO Ideas Polaroid OneStep SX-70 (21345) by 24% which is the lowest it has been on the site. The set is now listed for $60.70 and that saves you $19 on it. It features a replica of the old school Polaroid camera that dispenses a picture shortly after you take it.

If you’re a collector of high end LEGO items, a very rare LEGO Peter Jackson minifigure has popped up that you can try to get. Former LEGO designer Marcos Bessa is selling off some rather rare items in his BrickLink store but the highlight is an extremely limited Peter Jackson minifigure that LEGO produced for their first meeting with the filmmaker for the LEGO The Lord of the Rings sets. Apparently there were only 20 made in total and this is probably the first that it has appeared publicly.
As of right now, Marcos is auctioning the LEGO Peter Jackson minifigure for 24 hours and the current highest bid is already at $15,500. If you want to get on the bidding, you can DM Marcos on Instagram. We already know that DuckBricks loves to collect rare LEGO items and even he is out of the running for it so it’ll be another hardcore collector that gets it.
Earlier today, The LEGO Group announced that they are celebrating three years of zero waste to landfills. In an effort to minimizing their impact to the environment, the goal called Zero Impact in Operations is to reduce carbon emissions, energy use, water usage and waste generation. Last year, 96% of the waste generated in production was reused, recycled, or recovered without incineration or going to the landfill.

BILLUND, DENMARK, 24 June 2025: At the LEGO Group, we are committed to minimising our impact on the environment. That means continuing to reduce the impact of LEGO® production and our use of resources. We set targets for our carbon emissions, energy use, water usage and waste generation, as part of our goal called ‘Zero Impact in Operations.’ This aims to decouple our impact from business growth.
One of our areas of focus is reducing and managing the waste created in our factories. We are constantly looking for ways to avoid waste and to ensure disposal methods are as sustainable as possible.
Focus on waste prevention, reduction, reuse and recycling
We aim to reduce the waste that goes to incineration or landfill across all our factories. In 2024, 96% of the waste generated during production of LEGO bricks was reused, recycled or recovered. For the last three years, and despite a minor increase, we have remained within a ‘zero waste to landfill’ threshold, which is commonly interpreted as less than 1% of waste generated going to landfill. We have also successfully
