Rick's Zoo

Yes In the first year of my zoo (year 1999) there were not many animals on Minifig- scale... With Friends, there came more animal items, but personaly those animals have to big eyes In the beginning... I looked for penguins on a minifig scale. The penguins of Friends came in the right direction, but the eyes were still not right. So grab a parrot, cut off the tail and a bit of paint works wonders Happy now in the year 2020 more new animal species are coming out on a minifig scale and what I expect, there will follow more in the coming years! The BL- catalog has expanded considerably in recent years Tigers, Jaguars, even skunks and camels. My zoo started with 4x2 baseplates, but at the moment 28x6 baseplates and still animal exhbits are added. https://nl.pinterest.com/info_rickszoo/ Insta @info_rickszoo http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=Rickszoo

Both days, on this pleasant event in wonderfull Belgium ;-) Unfortunately I can't bring the whole zoo with me, but......there will be some small NEW parts and animal- exhibits. Looking forward to this weekend!

What NEW Themes or Sets would you like TLG to make? Hmm, speaking as an animal-fan , without doubt, more animals on Minifig-scale in many different themes!! CITY In sub-themes…. Farm: sheep, donkey, pony, goose…but not only new animals, also new machines / buildings. Australian Outback: kangaroo, koala, black swan [nice combination possible with the farmsets] Back in time, like this set: 6444 / 6490 New vegetation for landscaping, like cactus. ZOO: hippo’s, rhino’s, brown beer, pinguins, raccoons [for example “zookeeper with two monkeys” or “zookeeper with a ostrich” as a impuls set. “Zookeepers with rhino exhibit” or “souvenirshop with visitors” or “snackbar with visitors” (like 6683)as a small or medium size set etc.,etc. Holiday: I’d like the new mobile home, a continuation on this could be “car and caravan”(6388/6590), "tennis court", "small camping site" (tent plunder by brown beer or a bunch of raccoons). Citylife or in the Modulair-101sets: Bakery, postoffice, toystore, school, bikeshop, petshop, veterinary TLG is going well, it take's time and there must be a market for the new themes/sets, but I can't wait on the new pigs, ostrich and camels!!
