More like €4 actually ;)

AKA “seems like forEVER” Think we should fill the time running a bet on the cost of the pigeons on PAB …
-
Thanks for that @Clone OPatra ! So yeah, it’s dual moulded with no printing - meaning it’s got dead black eyes with no white glint. I know consistency isn’t Lego’s forte on this stuff, and it does still look great, but something slightly lacking to me. I think this also means that we have limited options for ‘recolours’, if the wing pattern, beak and eyes are all dependent on one mould colour. Maybe we will get the main body colour in sand blue, dark grey or dark tan though? Oddly I think the most analogous other Lego animal is the dual-moulded angler fish.

So has anyone here seen the new pigeon up close, and in-hand? From the renders I’ve seen it seems to be dual moulded but with no printing, instead relying on the black plastic moulded eyes & beak. That also means it doesn’t have the white ‘glint’ in the eye. If that’s the case then this is quite a departure from the birds we have gotten recently. The ‘small bird’ and smowl are both smaller but printed, the cockatoo and toucan are not much larger (if any) yet both receive dual/triple moulding *and* prints. I’m old enough now not to trust rendered images, especially on small animals, but just wondered what it was like in real life, and how it compares to the existing flock of feathery beasts.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
williejm replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
This one is curious to me, since we already got a cat mask for the previous costume series… so why a new mould? If it was one of the Chinese Zodiac animals then it would make sense as they are standardising those and updating existing masks accordingly (in favour of the full mask with cut out ‘face hole’ beneath the animals’ chin). Will be interesting to see where it shows up! -
Any of the light/mid blues would be good, we need green too!

Does it come with a pet targ?
-
Nah, I love the OG crab. It’s good, could do with some more colours though

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 27. Rumors and discussion
williejm replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Yep. Immediately just deleted the app and chose another 🤷🏽♂️ -
Slim pickings then, if a potentially recoloured crab is getting us excited 😂
-
We’re already getting the flaming Paradisa gay in the Ideas Vending Machine 💅🏻
-
As long as we stick to ‘realistic’ colours, I’m in. None of that yellow and purple nonsense that Friends do!
-
I was thinking we need animal battle packs, but should have ones with two opposing teams, like foxes v pigeons wolves v ravens seals v penguins koalas v snakes squirrels v owls flamingos v … er…
-
I guess we are onto Jan 2026 and the next CMF rumours for scraps of hope. Do you want a Robo-koala or a superhero one? Those sorts of options seem as likely as straight up animal-based sets…
-
Right? But Lego animal logic defies us all. I’d have thought that animals would be introduced specifically with reuse in mind, but that seems to be very hit & miss
-
See also flamingo, mouse & toucan … as well as the OG dark orange foal Lego animals don’t always follow rules.
-
Won't someone think of the AFOLs?!
-
it was the worst of times, and all Lego’s fault.
-
Unless it’s a licensed theme and you get a ‘Bat Swan’ or ‘F1 wombat’
-
Yeah I immediately thought of that horse - the only time we have ever had a grey horse before, and now we get one with a Spider Man mask …. *throws stuff* *kicks things*  
-
Looks like the Spiderverse CMF gives us some Spidey-fied animals: namely the foal and the new long haired cat from CMF27. Annoyingly they are both in new colours, as well as having the Spidey masks on their heads, rendering them of limited use!
-
Hard agree re the spacemen ‘bits’. It’s like a very expensive and unfulfilling scavenger hunt at fans’ expense. Looks to me like the inconsistencies with the ‘brick suits’ (re hands and some coloured legs) are heading that way for something folk have been encouraged to collect too. Add to that the inconsistency with how the BAM figures are made available by stores … and 🤪
-
Ooft. Well can someone leak a red fox for us already?
-
Well that is just *rude*
