Dolly Parton?! Take. My. Money!

Agreed. At the very least fingers crossed that the bunny gets a recolour. I did expect the tractor set to be an excuse for animals, much like the safari truck was.

Red tractor seems to just have one animal - the white rabbit ?

Looks like a new dog mould, in the townhouse and the big city set. It may be wishful thinking but I’d call a Labrador and it having a harness as an assistance dog in the larger set.

So some fuzzy catalogue pics have been leaked: large city set seems to have a dog mould that might be new that might also be wearing a harness, and is being walked by someone in dark glasses. New assistance dog and new Labrador mould? ? paws crossed! Looks like another dog in the townhouse set too. Possibly same mould.

I think I changed my mind. Having seen how they did Big Bird, I now more think that Road Runner will be more like the flamingo accessory. Big Bird is basically a big rubbery head piece over a Minifigure, but RR has very different proportions,

Yep, somehow you manage to capture her ‘Missy’ character in Dr Who *and* her character in Sabrina with this.

Ooh, and Michelle Gomez joins the cast ;)

Lego City is the only City in the world with no pigeons! they should have introduced a pigeon in the first modular, and made it a thing that each modular and City building came with a pigeon.

So, having received the ‘new’ chihuahua (Hidden Side printing) today, I have to ask why they even bothered with alternate printing. It is so small and infinitesimally different from the original. Maybe if the dog had been a different colour ... but it seems like a waste of time. That said, my Lego City dog collection is once again complete!

*finally* Liz Hurley gets immortalised appropriately ?

Indeed. I think a new bird mould was too much to hope for! I have the same feeling. Would be daft not to cash in on the moulds...

Must admit, I’m kinda tempted. The more I think about it - a ‘Gods & Monsters’ seems like a fun themed series

I think it’s more likely that they have to replace damaged or misprinted ones, since they are a big part of the set appeal, rather than them just being missing!

I dunno how I feel about Tweety & RR being ‘accessories’. ... on one hand I can see them working: Tweety like Baby Groot, and RR like the flamingo. On the other, relative size differences didn’t stop Stitch, Chip & Dale, and others being produced as minifigures. I can see a novel minifig working for RR, perhaps the satyr legs, a tail and modified headpiece, with a torso using the existing wing moulds. I wonder to what extent existing parts like the Disney duck tail, and the satyr legs will be used in this series.

I think there are a couple of options for expanding Diagon Alley. Gringotts will have to come at some point, and I think it would work well enough on its own, or it could be in a second DA set. Though there’s a chance that a second DA set *plus* a separate Gringotts is possible. Heck, they might even give us a Knocturn Alley set. I think a Gringotts & Leaky Cauldron & Eeylops Owl Emporium & Borgin + Burke’s would be a popular set (and I think they are the most likely missing buildings to appear) but can just as easily see that without Gringotts and some other additions instead.

Same lol - I might edit my post with four extras

I see Playmobil has a whole line of Greek God figures ... still think it could be a fun series for Lego to do. Possibly including revisits of some of the mythological beasts like Medusa, Cyclops & Minotaur

It’s just 31 zombified versions of earlier figures,right @Robert8 ??

I’m surprised that they haven’t introduced a more standard ‘dog’ mould with folded ears to be a Labrador / Dalmatian. But yeah there’s no apparent logic to this - i just hope that they start cramming animals into CMF and City the way they seem to be doing with Friends. I mean, they got sloths, alpacas, elephants, seahorses, squirrels, foxes and all sorts already ?

Amazon U.K. & Smyths have some sizeable discounts too

12 is hard, but I also think if they are reducing the number, then they need to up the quality. So I’d imagine a similar amount of new moulds, and (hopefully) some more generosity with accessories. 1. Centaur 2. Terracotta warrior 3. Mountie with beaver 4. Female Inuit with seal 5. Steve Irwin/ zookeeper type character with an Aussie animal 6. Victorian naturalist with a dodo 7. Viking king with wolfhound 8. Park ranger with rabbit & squirrel 9. Roman standard bearer 10. Sorceress with raven 11. Suffragette 12. Statue with pigeon — 13. Farmer/shepherd with sheep 14. Merman ‘deep sea’ warrior 15. Showgirl 16. Rocketeer

Is it a new hen colour?

Ooh,maybe the hare from the HP room of requirement set will get a recolour here. I know it’s a longshot ...

Yeah, to me that implies either a second set or GWP, or CMF - like the alternates we had for the Simpsons in the Simpsons House set
