[Nhcoll-l] Mineral Creations in LEGO!

[Chelsea T]

I just noticed this one has been retired, it's one of my favorite:
https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/dinosaur-fossils-21320

I also love this one:
https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/the-insect-collection-21342

And this one:
https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/kingfisher-bird-10331

They were a lot of fun to build, I have them on my bookcase at home.
