2023: 60394: ATV and Otter Habitat

I wonder if they were able to cost-share the otters to some degree with the Ideas A-Frame, since one was included in that set as well, and just a month later?

I doubt it , normally Ideas set has very low budget so they "steal" where they can. B-bay had a pig several months before the HP set that used the budget to bring it back showed up. City on the other hand has a very high design budget, but they cost a lot as well 

Over to this weeks goat news

Given how tightly controlled LEGO designers are in what they say publicly, them saying that the digital files will be 'in storage somewhere', I can't imagine them not bringing it back now.

My hope and guess is that it will return in the medieval village set maybe next year

Lego can be unpreciable.

Oh interesting! I didn't know that, I guess it makes sense why City gets so many animal moulds every year.

I was through my old lego for yard sale today and I found the old elephant from the beloved Johnny Thunder theme! I was amazed by how moveable it is than the modern elephant. 

It’s real shame that Lego didn’t give the modern elephant a proper treat event the way they gave the Adventurer elephant… I mean I love that trunk, legs and ears. 

Lego, shame you.

Great! I hope the blue morpho from the Friends' Botanical Garden set will show up as well one day! 

The dark orange husky also appeared today as a new part in B&P.

The new animals seem to be appearing a bit sporadically and randomly …

"there are 15 spiders to represent issue no. 15 of Amazing Fantasy in which Spider-Man first appeared in August 1962"

I still see only 14 so I assume your counting is right

@Roebuck Out of curiosity, would you ever release an update to your original 2017 bar graph? I'd be interested to see how the last few years stack up against some of the previous heavy hitters like 2013-15. No pressure of course!

Oh I think we should pressure him. I also assume he updates it every month 😂

I have not updated it in several years actually It did not seem like it was very much interest in it here and it was rather time consuming to do so I stopped doing it. I agree that it would be interesting to see so will see if I get the time eventually, my guess is that the last 3 years would would be very high, maybe at the top of the ranking 

 

[Lion King]

@Roebuck, Yeah, i agree that updating the chart is surely time-consuming.Maybe you could remove the outdated chart and replace it with a simple link.  Like… “Latest News about aniam. Click Here”.

I just got a baby dragon Riku off eBay and it’s from Ninjago’s latest sets. It’s nice and cute! I like its texture down its spine and tail. And its wings are tiny but cute.

I would like to see an updated bat mold with the wings similiar to Riyu’s. 

[Roebuck]

Not the "roedeer" mould I was asking for

[Lion King]

Maybe another year to get a proper fawn! Bambi looks fantastic.
