What is your prediction for animals in Series 25?

for me, it would be raw, pigeon and sheep (obviously not new but seriously, I want shepherd with a crook!).

Did you mean crow?

I’m still shocked that hasn’t been done yet, honestly. Not only does the sheep exist now, but they made a crook part for Bo Peep in the Toy Story 4 sets. They’d just need to recolor it.

The shepherd's crook has already been recolored in the UCS Back to the Future Delorean, and is on PAB now: https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=6390370

I think raw pigeon would be OK. Cooked pigeon would be different, but at least it replaces the ubiquitous (and oversized) turkey!

Still not brown, but nice to know the mold still exists and isn’t IP locked or anything

Agreed,  I prefer it to be brown enough natural for shepherd to hold.

There's a turkey in there. That's an animal...

[Karalora]

The teddy bear is also an animal (according to Bricklink).

Sometime in October, I tried to get the exact date, but the PAB team could/would not tell me
My guess would be that there are higher chance early in October rather than later in the month..

Since the  City summer wavve was released in Europe in June and then it was released in August in North America, I guess the same parts from June will be avaialbe on PAB woldwide on “ame day” in October.

I'm so hyped. Even better if they show up before/during the rumored double points event next week. My wallet isn't ready

New pieces are showing up on PAB as we speak, all of the new animal moulds are visible but out of stock so far. Hopefully they'll be available to order very soon!

Some things are at crazy prices, as has been the recent pattern. Also some of the bigger ‘two piece’ animals seem to only be available in part 🙃

[Roebuck]

A lot of the animals have the same price or are cheaper on BL so that is a bit disappointing, LEGO City 60377 is probably better to buy then all the animals on PAB. However some of the juveniles have a decent price. There is also a lot of GWP to be had now so that must also be taken into consideration..

They are adding the parts in stock slowly now

Are PAB (Standard) orders eligible for GWP thresholds usually?

In theory no, in practice yes

As stated, in theory no.  I always add something small to the order or some Bestseller parts to insure the GWP gets added & shipped.

[Aurore]

Some of the animals from this year's Arctic sets are available on PaB in France:
- The big turtle (more expensive than on BL)
- The orca - one part for the body, one for the jaw (for half its current average price on BL)
- The adult polar bear (same price as BL, on average)
- The polar bear cub (cheaper than on BL)
- The baby seal (same price as BL, on average)

And perhaps others...but by the time I wrote this comment, the LEGO website is now down... 
Fortunately, I had already placed my order for a whole polar bear colony.

[SketchBrick]

I was wondering why some of you are saying the BL prices are better, but I realized the region matters a lot. I didn't know some of these parts were so easily available on European BL stores! Most of the new animal parts aren't even being sold by any stores in Canada, so PAB it is for me!

That what I thought too, but have been meaning to check it out ahead of double VIP next weekend. Looks like the current GWPs are added if you reach the threshold solely with Bestseller or Standard parts, which surprised me. I'd still add a regular set/product to the order to trigger the GWP shipping though.

Oh, and while it's obvious, and you wouldn't, I added the polar bear as my test, with 999 of them. $7692!
