    Tom Alphin, author of The LEGO Architect, has learned a thing or two about LEGO® Elements over the years. He has spent much of the past decade producing a great collection of labels that LEGO Fans around the world use to help sort their LEGO Collections. His latest book, The LEGO Parts Guide, explores the parts that are out there, how they connect to other elements, and some history and geometry along the way. Tom sent me a pre-release copy a week or two ago, but you can now find it live on Amazon. The softcover book has 134 pages… READ MORE

LEGO Botanicals 10371 Cozy Plants introduces two new characters to the growing family: a cheerful chamomile enjoying a cup of tea, and a relaxed peppermint curled up with a good book.
