Roebuck Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, Accio Lego said: I mean, it’s definitely a new print, but between the horrible picture quality and the fact that only the head and chest is really visible it’s hard to confirm that it’s a new mold or not yet. I agree, but I compared a owl to a minifig head and in the picture the head looks big beside the owl, that is not the case with the normal owl mould so should be new I think.. 9 hours ago, williejm said: Ah. Potato camera As normal I am sure Lego has a fancy expensive program to make the pictures small with low resolution Even if the picture is bad and it is hard to see much of the accessories it is strange they do not include the dog in it since all the figs are there (had it been 7-8 figs on the other hand)..

Yeah, but rendered artwork like this tends to play fast a loose with how things look in real life. Just look at the rest of the image. Kate Bishop is tilting her head slightly in a way that minifigures just can’t and similarly Moon Knight appears to be holding his right arm at an impossible angle for a Lego torso. And it’s not the low image quality playing tricks on the eye. Just look at a Disney 100 series checklist and you can clearly see Jiminy Cricket has one leg bent back despite coming with short legs that can’t actually move like that. That’s why I’m saying it’s not worth trying to make any observations on the leaked photos - yes, the head is clearly level with the minifig the owl comes with, and if the minifig is holding it that would mean it’s significantly shorter than previous owls, but it could just as easily be the box art artist cut and pasting a larger owl a little lower than it should be so it’s head isn’t significantly higher than any of the minifigs in the splash. We won’t know until we get better quality images, preferably on all the characters individually so the full body can be seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are right did not take into account that it was a render, I guess we must wait and see then Looks like there is at least one owl in HP Gringotts, but the picture is taken with a potato camera so the jury is still out on that one as well (I guess we know later today) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Accio Lego Posted July 18, 2023 Gringotts has been revealed and features a somewhat abridged Magical Menagerie! Animals I can see in the current crop of photos: -flying owl in grey -perched owl in brown -frog in lime green (and I think brown as well) -snakes in dark blue and dark green -pygmy puff* -bat -unprinted kitten in grey as a figural sign for the MM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roebuck Posted July 18, 2023 Magical Menagerie was somewhat of a disappointment I must say since it looks like it have no interior, was looking forward to shelf's full of animals 3 hours ago, Accio Lego said: -flying owl in grey Some of the pictures it looks like a new colour and or print, but do not think this is the case.. 3 hours ago, Accio Lego said: frog in lime green That is nice to get in a set..

Luckily, we have the power of MOCs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karrit Posted July 18, 2023 I'm a bit disappointed in the apparent lack of access to the interior of the Magical Menagerie also. I've been accumulating various random animals and parts for cages to populate it with so guess I'll have to try my hand at creating a full size building to place all the critters in. At least this small build creates a starting point to expand on. I can't find the snakes in any of the pictures but I'm assuming they are somewhere in the cavern & vaults. Need to find a way to enlarge the published pictures but there's still a lot that is hard to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s just tricky to see them because the Death Eater is posed in front of them in most shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Accio Lego Posted July 22, 2023 New rumors say that set number 40603 will be a holiday themed gwp in November or December called ‘Horse and Cart’. Obviously, at this point we don’t know if the entire thing is brick built or if it will feature minifigure(s) and a molded horse, but if it’s the later then that’s extremely generous for a gwp.

That would have been a perfect fit for Castle however I assume it is City. Anyway as long as it is a moulded horse I am happy, they show up in too few sets for my taste I guess it do not include a horse in a new colour or a foal since that seems to generous for a GWP budget, so then the new white horse would be ideal to get. We got a similar very nice GWP around 10 year ago: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My impression also, sure if we get the set it will include a goat or two, however so far not a single set from that survey is confirmed from what I have heard. So until that happens we do not know if Lego just took some prelim models for the survey to gather interesting data never intending to release the sets. I do not hope that is the case however some of the sets seem unlikely to happen and if contestants did not have to sign a NDA, Lego must have know there was a high chance for them leaking Talking about goats I hit the jackpot yesterday at a fleamarked, found a Mill village raid set for 45 euro. Only one part was missing apparently a white animal mould; Spoiler the hen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, looks like the preexisting golden retriever mold, although it’s in a new color (it’s only been available before I. Brown and tan). That owl is definitely a new mold though, and so tiny!

It was someone from Medevil Village thread mentioned that “includes a goat”. But Brick Clicker is pretty reliable.
