I have already ordered one for my grandson for Christmas.

Now, might SPNHC put forward an idea for a biological collection?

The LEGO Mineral Collection set is now available for pre-order (with modifications from the original proposal).

Hello SMMP!

If you haven't already seen it, this is a fantastic idea for lego mineral specimens that's been proposed for the LEGO IDEAS system (where individuals submit ideas and winning ideas are put into production by the company).

I'm sure you'll all agree this would be an excellent additional way to introduce minerals to a new generation.  I'm also sure many of you would want this yourselves (I certainly do!)

But this can only happen if it gets enough votes, so if you have a way of reaching out to your own friends and communities to get them to vote on the project, please do!

Thank you!   This has nothing to do with mindat or me personally other than I really want to see it happen.
