That said, the build drastically improves from Bag 7 onwards, when you start putting all the above-ground details together, and place all the decorations.
The parts made of plant-based plastic are only made of plant based plastics, and that plastic replaced another plastic that was used previously. The use of two transparent plastics would introduce a new plastic without substituting it for another or getting rid of another type of plastic, which would be not only less sustainable environmentally but far more expensive." An ice slide is positioned under the arch: perfect for the daredevil granny sitting in a chair fitted with skates to launch herself down. Such a chair is not something I've come across, but perhaps they are a thing in China. Of course, the torso is no good if you want to create a “pure” Tiger Costume Minifigure – which is where the 2020 Halloween Build a Minifigure Tiger Cub‘s torso comes in handy! Over on the left side of the frozen lake is the Ice Sculptor, busy at work carving this cute little icy penguin with her oversized chainsaw. This is where that piece of printed plastic cars is used. The circular cutouts are just the right height for an adult and child minifig.
Warranty & disclaimers
My guess would be that LEGO wants all the pieces in colors to match. They don't anyways but LEGO might want that." If I experienced such issues with sets from alternative manufacturers at least I could say ok, that's what you get for paying much less, but from a company whose claim used to be "only the best is good enough" and where you pay premium prices, such issues are unacceptable. There are plenty of other transparent clear parts that tend to be fairly rare in it too. Unfortunately, they are the new 'milky' type so don't look as clear and clean as the older polycarbonate ones. However, I suspect it's the new plastic formulation that has enabled parts with clips and bars to be made in clear colours." Lunar New Year Ice Festival will officially be released on 1 January 2022 worldwide, but is already available in some some territories, including Australia.
The snow-covered bushes either side of the steps in the right-hand corner look splendid, and this is the first appearance of the 3-leaved foliage piece in white. But here, in common with the likes of 80106 Story of Nian and 80107 Spring Lantern Festival, we have been provided with the entire scene, one that everything except the vendor selling the strange brown stuff fits on. Doing so has no doubt had a considerable impact on the price, but I think it's a price worth paying.There are plenty of other transparent clear parts that tend to be fairly rare in it too.

However, I suspect it's the new plastic formulation that has enabled parts with clips and bars to be made in clear colours. IIRC one of the reasons Lego switched to mABS instead of Polycarbonate (in addition to the advantages like not binding to itself the way PC parts could) was that Lego's sustainable materials team believed that mABS showed far more promise in terms of the prospect of finding an eventual plant-based replacement. It'd make little sense to continue manufacturing with Polycarbonate in addition to that when removing Polycarbonate from their supply chain was part of the point of the switch in the first place. " The Friends penguin, used for an ice sculpture, looks like it's been cast in Transparent Blue Opal, colour 366, then newest colour in our database. However, the inventory suggests it's actually regular transparent light blue which has been painted with a glittery shimmer on the front. Last but not least, we have the ice skating rink itself – the frozen lake is the perfect playground for the minifigures to skate and have fun in the Ice Festival. The frozen lake occupies most of the base, and has plenty of space for minifigures to join.
The pale door is also lovely, as is the entire colour scheme of the building, which injects a pop of colour against the mostly white snow. And yes, in case you were wondering, this is absolutely how he made the ice fishing hole – with a transparent orange chainsaw. The plant pieces are made from plant based plastics, the other pieces aren't. So LEGO clearly has two different plastics being used for parts already. Right outside the equipment rental shop is Commander Cold, doing some ice fishing. He’s made himself a neat little hole in the ice, and has caught a large orange fish.As already mentioned, Lego uses several different types of plastic already, it's far from just ABS. But hey, if you're happy to pay ever higher prices for ever worse quality, by any means do so. I'm not trying to stop you. TLG is happy to take your money. To me, that advantage (plus the potential future advantage of being more easily sourced from plants) more than makes up for a barely perceptible difference in appearance."
