So far, we have three of the sets shown for the SDCC Exclusives set for 2018.  I think that we will get one more, but I am not certain.  We should also be seeing the exclusive minifigures as well.  I believe that we will see something from Unikitty coming up next.

as expected, these are starting to show up on eBay – see here 

So far, we have Star Wars, Marvel and DC Comics!  Lego is awesome.

Orange Lego Test Print Superman Minifigure is one Superrare Superman Minifigure

This is definitely one to add to the price guide and it will probably come out near the top of the Super Hero Minifigures.  I do not know a whole lot about this figure, but the owner states that less than 5 of these exist and that they were made as a part of a test print when they were creating the Superman minifigure.

I love the stand and I believe that this guy would look great next to the other Superman minifigures in my collection.  Unlike some of the other waves of minifigures, I have seen very few test print or prototype Super Hero Minifigures hit the secondary market.  My best guess is that these have either been destroyed or highly coveted by the LEGO employees working on these projects.

Some of you will be familiar with the name on these pictures as he regularly puts up very expensive items on eBay and finds some of the best prototypes.  I would definitely check his listing whenever you get a chance.  Here are his items for sale.  I just checked and he does not have anything for sale right now, but he usually puts out a few very interesting items each year.    He also has a much better camera than I do, or at least he is more patient!

As an interesting fact, if you read this website here you will learn that the old Black and White Superman actually wore a brown suit that looks pretty orange in the pictures on the link above!  It appears that brown looked much better than blue in black and white pictures.  Here is a direct link to the original picture in case you are looking for the source.

It also looks like Superman has an orange suit here as well.

Finally, I found this orange / yellow suit Superman toy on ebay that is from the 1950’s here on ebay as well.  Not sure why this is not blue either!

LEGO Launches first sustainable brick set 40320 plants and grass in August 2018

I remember reading about this a few months ago, but I doubted that it would happen.  It looks like LEGO will be releasing the first sustainable brick sets made from plant based plastic sourced from Sugarcane.  In a bit of irony they are using the plant based plastic to make Leaves, Bushes and trees! lol

It looks like the first set will be obtainable by all and will be a free gift with a $35 dollar purchase and will contain 29 pieces.  I wonder if they are edible?  JK

Set Number 40320 with 29 parts and made from plastic.  I wonder how well these parts will hold up compared to regular lego bricks?

Per LEGO –

“The new sustainable LEGO elements are made from polyethylene, which is a soft, durable and flexible plastic, and while they are based on sugar-cane material, they are technically identical to those produced using conventional plastic. The elements have been tested to ensure the plant-based plastic meets the high standards for quality and safety that the LEGO Group has, and consumers expect from LEGO products.”

You can pick this up in the US on Amazon here.
