A better picture of the owl is out in the wild, it might even be useful as a juvenile owl for the the old mould, looks great :sweet:

Hopefully the Harry Potter team recognize the demand and include it in some of next year’s sets. 

In new colors I hope :wink:

The baby croc mold came out in a new color in 60353 less than a year after the first Marvel cmf, so it’s not like they haven’t done it before. 
 

I’ve got my fingers crossed that they made the new tiny owl with its usefulness for another major theme in mind, seeing how the animal in the show got very limited screen time. 
 

And someone has gotten their hands on some minifigures early, and it just so happens to be both Hawkeyes. So now you can see even better pics of the new owl and golden retriever with new color and print in the usual places on Instagram.

The owl looks good. From the original blurred images, I wondered if was brick-built like a porg! :laugh:

Disappointing, though not unexpected. I don't see a reason to pick this one up (animal-wise) since both the dog and kitten are available on PAB.

Not good as far as animal molds but it looks much nicer to me than the bulk of the ones from the past several years.  At least there aren't any micro builds this time.  Wonder if the Mrs. Claus torso will show up in the BAM towers.

New Halloween VIP bag coming, with a grey cat and the obligatory bats and spiders so not so existing (purple helmets for the Space fans) to me, but I really like the VIP bags since that is normally the only GWP limit I reach with my orders these days :shrug_oh_well:

Ooo, where’d you see pictures of that? I missed out on the last Halloween vip bag and they tend to have some decent parts for beefing up the Harry Potter theme.

It was a Instagram post, but not in the normal place, I am sure it will pop up soon. It was at least one wizard hat I remember, but probably not the best HP parts pack I have seen:shrug_oh_well:

That was unnecessary use of printing, it is not a big thing, but do not look the same as other horses with round eyes.. On the positive side it is not IP marked so it will most likely show up in PAB in a few months :wink:

Don’t worry, the previous Halloween Add-On is so-so - it has a bunch of skeletons, bats, two McGongall’s witch hats, and other random items. I really like army of skeleton, witch hats, wheels. But this new one gets me interested!

Definitely similar to last year's spooky pack, but I'm glad to get a cat. Also the food selection is notably good with cookie and waffle prints, bread, apples, and pumpkin pie!

Finally got to see a pic thanks to a Brick Fanatics article. Lots of food, tan snot bricks, a sand green dish piece, brown and medium nougat bricks, wrought iron fences, wooden inserts for small arched windows, dark green foliage, pumpkins, an old trunk, a spider web and several black spiders in addition to the bats and cat. 
 

All and all a solid spooky pack good for gothic architecture buildings, or even just a slightly dark castle. Plenty of serviceable parts for Harry Potter collectors who might want to moc something. Rather ironic that it’s getting so much interest in the classic space helmet in purple that’s included, since pretty much everything else is unrelated.

Well, you could argue it’s more realistic that way since horses do have pretty massive eyelashes :snicker: But yeah, it’s inconsistent since other mammals they’ve done before also have eyelashes, and those just got regular eye prints

I seemed to have missed something. Which set does this horse come in?

City’s 2024 winter wave doesn’t sound like it’s promising us any animals but i would assume Fire Off-Road Vehicle would have an animal mold, who knows?

I mean we got kitten, puppy and squirrel in the recent years. There is no way we would know yet so we will have to wait then.

Yeah nothing too exciting based on the set list, but it's not uncommon for them to sneak in a new mould here and there, like this year's puppy. Here's hoping!

And of course we have CMF Series 25 to look forward to; I'd expect 2-3 new animals there 😀

Ah yes, the time of inevitability having to go the eBay when lego introduces an adorable new animal mold in a series where it’s impossible to feel what you want. I’ve been mentally preparing myself for that.
