Surely we have all given up on that nonsense, given the state of *everything*?

Why on earth are they not marketing it as ‘the pigeon tower’!?

[Roebuck]

Will be interesting to see if the pigeons only come in that big set or are spread over a lot of the sets in the City wave
The more the merrier

Perhaps it is a bit like sausages where they have to have a certain % of meat content to label themselves as ‘pork’ or ‘beef’ sausages. Two pigeons probably isn’t enough.. We can still call it that though, a bit like the gorillas jungle set, which is 95% helicopter - it’ll always be the gorillas set to me.

Logic would suggest that they get spread around like the squirrels … but hey, this is Lego. Goats should be ten a penny … bunnies should be brown …

*Channelling my inner Andie MacDowell *… is there a helicopter in that set? I hadn’t noticed.

Oh, I think you could easily make a pack of sausages from two pigeons.

[lifeinplastic]

Most packs of sausages probably already contain some pigeon,

I think they have to do F1 animals only this year

I've been an F1 for many years, and in some races, the most interesting thing is when a dog, bird, groundhog, or giant lizard runs across the track. They should definitely include new animals in the F1 sets!

Just recolour the splat piece in red.

It's literally the same animal each time, just recolored.

They subbed a generic non-printed crab for Sebastian. Be careful what you wish for. They will include a red 2x2 round tile in the F1 set and say it was the roadkill.

Red, magenta, dark red, pink and red.

Perhaps Lego should recolor the wolf into white... to celebrate the 'de-extinction' of the Dire Wolf. LOL
