Reddit is saying that in the upcoming Ninjago 71861 The Old Town, Zane will have a 'falcon in the shape of the old parrot mold'. That suggests either a new print or a new mould, unless they're just going for a single colour grey, which would surprise me.

That seems like slightly strange phrasing to me. May have lost something in translation. I assume it’s either a recolour of the newish falcon, or a plain colour of the existing parrot. 
Falcons are just ‘tactical assault parrots’ though, so I can see a new mould being dual purpose, as the old one was. Like @roebuck I’d be sceptical at Ninjago introducing a new animal mould, for sure. 
 

Would be really interesting if they stuck with the existing parrot and gave it printing for the first time - but honestly, I think they’d go with a new mould for that, given it’s recessed eyes.

Is that what you call them in Scotland? 😂

It’s just biological fact. Falcons are in the same family as parrots, and only very distant cousins to other raptors 🤷🏽‍♂️

I like the German word for a puffin, Papageientaucher - it means Parrot Diver! 😄

That’s awesome. in Shetland they call them ‘Tammy Nories’ which is something like ‘foolish looking man’.
and again - we NEEDS a Lego puffin, moulded and printed like they did the toucan!

A (low resolution) leaked picture of the Dreamzzz Tiger Shark Tank shows a fox-like animal, maybe in satin trans-clear - and a very blurred green blob of pixels that may be a creature too. Definitely fantasy, though I'm really curious about it...

To me those both look like the same mould, but in different colours. Odd-looking thing, but definitely has fox similarities. Wonder if it’s an entirely fantasy thing or supposed to be something like a raccoon or tanuki?

I am not sure what it is, but one person suggested it's the axolotl mould in other colours.
I am not sure, but looks like a fantasy animal around the fox in size to me (so it probably are going to be expensive :tongue:)

Nah, you just know they’re going to price it on B&P for mere pennies, just to goad us further.

I squinted a bit harder and tried to imagine it, and I think you're right. Probable green crystal fox-thing.

Foals are up on PAB 6$ a part :hmpf: Snail is "OK" around 0,5$, but that is a small part without printing so not cheap either..

Can’t remember if the white foal ever made it onto B&P before, for a comparison?

I did not I am pretty sure, would probably be half the price if it did with the new price increases:def_shrug:

🎼 On the first day of Advent a gift was sent by you, some dark orange and a cockatoo…🎵

Sheesh that’s bright light orange! 

fun fact - I put a wee written clue in each day to what the next day’s animal is. I had to put the cockatoo for day one, so’s I didn’t get in trouble for a double entendre clue
