    Yeah but *in theory* they could have “paired” the crab with a figure that had a singular head piece (like the Unicorn they had) to allow the crab to not be homeless also - fun fact - I’ve swapped out my own hermit crabs’ shells for the awesome shell headpiece from POTC. It needs an extra of the little donut plates to fit properly, but it looks so cute.

    Oops, but good to know it’s widely released … seems a bit *odd* to offer a naked hermit crab though, should be given housing options

    It seems that the (printed) hermit crab has shown up in BAM here in Scotland. Haven’t seen it announced in any of the BAM posts but, assuming it’s not some weird glitch in one store, might be an easier way for folks to get hold of it, or make them cheaper in after sales market.

    Yeah it would have been ideal to pop a toucan into.

    The fox is the new goat - but let’s not even joke about fox hunting being acceptable

    The eagle is another animal that has been barely-used. Wish I’d stocked up on the bald eagles on B&P back in the day! Also would love to see it recoloured as a golden eagle

    Amen. FWIW I think the lobster with eyes was a misstep by Lego, rather than the other way around. Am a huge fan of the OG crab, and think they should try and have some consistency somewhere … I know, lol. As if. Whilst I generally agree with this sentiment, the reality is that many animals were very limited in use and only appeared once or twice, often in big sets - that means many people missed out. So I get it.

    Ooh nice, thanks for this. Also, this is hard! 1) FAVOURITES the (perched) great grey owl, the black bear, and the wolf … although I have also typed tiger, ostrich, toucan and changed my mind already 🤪 2) NEED beaver, puffin, and moose and I’ll do returns and recolours / prints too 3) COME BACK PLEASE little mouse, camel & toucan 4) RECOLOURED raven in solid black, new tiger recoloured as a snow leopard, and flamingo in the coral it deserves I love the elephant and the mammoth too! we have a brachiosaurus… ? Lovely, lovely little smowl 🥰 … and yes please for your fox, doe and donkey!

    BAM has, including animals, but not PAB Yeah I’d assumed it was that situation. The whole issue of ‘multi part’ animals beings sold in separate parts is just a bit … odd. and yes, I am still traumatised by the elephants and the gorillas on this

    Lol no 5. Whilst browsing the available animals on Pick A Brick & Pieces … I was delighted to see both of the new colours of crocagator available. Except that for one colour you could only order a head and a tail, and for the other you could only order a body and a head … Not even listed as being out of stock.

    Mwah ha ha - you silly fool, we don’t find things by real names!
  12. williejm
    Both of them are available for me (in the U.K.) just now.

    I mean, is it that much more unrealistic than a circular anti stud for chickens feet? I guess you can always place your flamingos strategically behind some verdant foliage to hide its simple leg if you need to …
  14. williejm
    Nope, three new animal moulds is the record. Series 19 though had three new moulds (dachshund, flamingo & chameleon), 2 new recolours/prints (chicken & French bulldog). And one reuse (scorpion) … plus a bonus rubber duck!
  15. williejm
    Sure the monkey could stand in for the monkey though ;)

    I like this. They’ve toyed a little with putting ‘historical’ figures into other sets, the caveman in the City museum a few years ago was a hoot! Have often thought that some carefully considered licensed themes would let the do this more … Night at the Museum sets anyone?

    Ach we can all use a Zombie Skateboard Knight somehow Re the Jester - when did they last produce a jester? We forget that current kids might not have a lengthy hoard of previous CMFs to rely on, so revisiting archetypes every few years makes marketing sense. Regardless, four specific ways a jester could be different are 1) new colour way, 2) gender swap, 3) new desirable accessory, and 4) new moulded hat piece and/or collar piece Also depends what we are talking about in terms of previous figures - to me we should presume CMFs are adding to the CMF roster, and so that’s the back catalogue that matters (one which has only two classic witches and two wizards, historically)

    As it might help some folk : having found some intact boxes in the wild, I’ve found that on the top level two Wolf/Beastmasters were all in the same place in each box. Specifically on the top level, left hand side, second and third from back. Might help those who aren’t able to scan to have a better chance of picking the right ones

    So here’s my attempt at a Castle CMF line up. For me it’d be some way between the eclectic-ness of the Space CMF, and a full-on one of Castle add-on characters 1. Princess with new harp 2. Peasant with new ram 3. Sorceress 4. Plague Doctor 5. Herald with new long trumpet 6. Blacksmith 7. Alchemist 8. Elf child with new unicorn foal (thanks @Lion King) 9. Beefeater with raven 10. Jester 11. Castle costume fan (utilising the Brick body piece in yellow, and/or a new ‘turret’ headpiece as an homage to the OG yellow castle) 12. Knight costume kid (reusing the wearable horse pieces from the Series 18 ‘cowboy costume’ kid)
  20. williejm
    Representing all the existing factions would be akin to how the Space series referenced themes, and how they have been appearing in CMFs Side note - didn’t Lego recently do a poll on what Castle factions to bring back / add? Whatever happened to that?
  21. williejm
    I mean, garden flamingos aren’t a thing to me, but I think the existing one is fine, it’s just the ‘leg/s’ that are an issue, and it’s minimal. Well I finally tracked down some WolfMasters from CMF 27. The wolf 😍😍 OMG … just been comparing it size-wise to other dogs as well as the big cats & bear: it stacks up pretty well. My only small niggle is the printed ‘angry’ eyebrow: hopefully any recolours will give a standard eye to future members of my Lego pack
  22. williejm
    Would be fun for folks to suggest their line up for 12 castle characters….
  23. williejm
    The only other possibility is that they have been hoarding OG goats all these years make your own goat hoarding jokes
  24. williejm
    He’s from the Goat Theme. That’s separate 😜
  25. williejm
    🤬 For sheer devotion to the cause, TLG should create a unique goat in a new colour and print, and distribute it solely to the steadfast crew of this thread.
