Roebuck

and a cat

I do not have any of them so could be wrong, but from what I can see on BL: New part From Dilophosaurus in 2019 From raptor 2012 From Dilophosaurus 2015 From Carnotaurus/Stygimoloch 2018

Looks like the new friends (TV show) set comes with a dog, hen and a small bird all in white, to bad they did not make a duck mould for it

Well they don't, yes they make some new pieces for a new dinosaur, but most of the parts they take from other dinosaurs. From what I can see from the dinosaurs that came last year: Ankylosaurus 12 parts 3 new Indominus rex 8 parts 2 new Gallimimus 8 parts 1 new Pteranodon 5 parts 0 new Ankylosaurus Baby 1 part 1 new Triceratops Baby 3 parts 1 new Velociraptor 8 parts 0 new Dinosaur Baby 1 part 0 new

The old elephant have 10 different parts (not counting the pin), of which 6 comes from dinosaurs/creatures made previously and 4 where made for the elephant. So if they where to make a similar elephant today with 10 different parts, they could probably use 2 parts already in production. However today the dinosaurs/creatures are much more specialised so they can not use any parts from them on the elephant, so then they would have to make 8 new moulds and that is not realistic to expect

They were made in a different time and consist of a lot of parts. Take the elephant it was made in a time that Lego did a lot of decisions that was not sustainable economically. It made good use of some dinosaur parts, but they had to make several new parts that cost a lot of money. Today they do not have any parts they could use except the trunk, so they would have to make even more parts to make a similar elephant with a lot of parts. So no wonder they made one with a solution of using only two new moulds, on the other side from a third mould that they did not use on the adult we got a completely new juvenile, so it is not all bad news is it For the Afols or teens that wanted new animals this subtheme is fantastic and one of the best of all time For kids in the age range 4-6 +/- a few years it is also great, since they never would have made it out in shelf's without passing a lot of kids tests in the development stage. For everyone else the sets probably holds little interest, the City line is for young kids so if you want a similar 18+ set buy a modular etc..

Do not know about the capes, but in general if you "trick" or even if the sales reps let you order a part that is not for sale, the order will be cancelled "down the line"

There is a picture of frog cards up now! It do not look as they are named unfortunately, but even with the small picture it looks as they are possible to recognize and I am sure Lego will publish a list

I do not think any castles will make it, why would Lego limit themself to an ideas submission when they can make one on their own Lets just hope they make one proper one soon

We welcome animal geeks here

I like the 31120 Medieval Castle for what it is, but I will probably not buy it. I do not make MOCs so the parts are not very useful to me and the minifigs I got already. Something I never thought I would say about a Disney set, but 10775 Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck's Farm are more useful to my Castle collection than the 3in1 set. It has a new sheep mould, how many years have we been waiting for that?! No only that we also get a horse, hen and rabbit in addition to some other useful parts Since the parts are in other sets the same year it is a shame those animals do not come with the blacksmith set, that just tells you how low budget most ideas set get

The leakers get some info and then they guess the rest, it is not like they have seen the sets. So he probably had some info that it will include a remembrall and assumed it was a big brick-built one, I hardly think he was lying on purpose.. So the leakers have some vague info about the D2C as well most likely, maybe the price and a name. So say the price is right, but the name is just a codename then the guess most likely will be off target. So takes leaks for what it is 50/50 leak and guess with a grain of salt until pictures show up.

I knew it could not be made from the City budget since they spent all their money on the animals, if it had I would have been disappointed that they wasted budget on a hair mould instead of including another animal That is how City sets are the last few years, 4+,5+ or 6+ I assume they sell best in that age group, as long as we get all the animals I do not care at all

https://www.promobricks.de/lego-city-2021-sommerneuheiten/122217/ Yes, but I get more than one of every animal, the ones in the sets are just a bonus

Yes, I think you are right, the lion is probably 5-6$ and the elephant 10$ plus
