It's actually rather good! If we're talking dreadful cars, the one in set 2962 was actually part of an official Lego set! 2962 - Search results | Brickset

Has a Friends animal mould ever found its way into a City (or other minifigure based) set? I always thought a beaver would be a good shout for the CMF being an animal not too large. Anyway, curse those Heartlake City folk for again having an animal needed on Planet Minifig (still waiting for those llamas, sea lions and sloths)! 😩 Here’s hoping Lego have a Safari Park City subtheme up their sleeves for next year and we finally get those zebras, hippos, rhinos and giraffes I’ve spent decades yearning for!

I think the problem with the harbour set is it doesn't know whether it wants to be a commercial/transportation port or a more civilian location. I personally would have preferred more of a marina with a selection of smaller 'leisure' boats and a seafront restaurants. Others (as mentioned a few posts up) want larger cargo ships too. In the end we don't really get either! I doubt I'll end up buying this. However, I have been wanting something similar to set 6543 Sail 'N' Fly Marina for some time and this does seem to have some resemblance with the red crane.

Pfffh! I don't know enough about D&D so I'm telling myself the characters exploring these dungeons are often accompanied by a flamingo companion, particular coral-coloured ones! :-D

Not sure how I fell about that - I mean a lot of us would love an Adventurers comeback but I don't really want anything watered down.

I’d also add to the PAB comment that this only provides existing animals so no new moulds or re-colours (which would have been most welcome in the Medieval Village set)

Yes - the medieval village is a real disappointment. Let’s hope Lego aren’t so reluctant to give us a greater abundance of animals in the jungle sets for the summer.

This looks hugely underwhelming and an easy pass for me.

I’d certainly be in favour of a Winter Village modular. I’d like to build a New York street that can be adjusted for each season.

I’d also like to know more about the double points - how often does Lego usually have this?

Just saying that new harbour sets would be a perfect opportunity to get some sea lions.

I thought I had read at the time it was released that the number was used as it is gamer slang... 1337 Meaning & Origin | Slang by Dictionary.com

Junior Lego Set Designer: The usual suspects over at Eurobricks are moaning about the lack of animals in the recent winter City releases, boss. Senior Set Designer: *Sigh* Go fetch the Current Random Popular Animal Generator… (Current Random Popular Animal Generator flashes past Llama/Narwhal/Meerkat/Wombat, etc before eventually slowing down and stopping on Red Panda) Junior Lego Set Designer: Red Pandas huh? That’s going to be a tough one to integrate into a City set, particularly as they live in coniferous forests rather than the jungle environments we were planning for the summer… Senior Lego Set Designer: Nah, make it a small set and stick a quadbike in it for good measure.. Junior Lego Set Designer: A quad bike? Not sure if that’s realistic, boss. I mean red pandas are quite shy animals and we just tried something similar with the otter sets which are now retired after just one year.,, Senior Lego Set Designer: *Glares* I said give ‘em quad bikes…

Excited for the gorillas! Is it too greedy to want three sizes though if we get a baby, adult and silverback!

I really wish they had got rid of the train track parts from the Orient Express set and replaced it with printed parts for the interiors (particularly as it doesn't come with a working engine).
