Tbf in Wales you can’t see the sheep for the sheep

Santa already knows.

Indeed, but I don’t think the existing mould would work for them

Yeeeeeeeaaaah not sure that would look good though Simplest would be swapping out one of the two colours, but I’d be happy with any realistic variant Yep, was the Billund warehouse. Gorilla parts remain critically endangered.

Well so far, one day is one gorilla arm … I think I’m gonna tease you one day at a time @lifeinplastic - and only then if you’ve been good!

I’m still not adopting you, @Aurore - I’m already bankrupting myself ;)

I’m seriously beginning to doubt you are actually in the UK 😜 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Blackface

A bit of an aside, but it’s animal related, I promise! I wanted to share a nice story: Today called Lego customer service, to check on my existing two orders for animal parts that are still showing as ‘in warehouse’. They are for the Gorilla parts, and the order is in two parts because the bodies became unavailable as I was placing the order, so I ended up with two orders, three weeks apart, for ‘just arms’ and ‘just bodies’. Anyways, I called to check on the likely timescale of delivery, as I was worried they would arrive too late for their intended use - Lego advent calendars for my nephews, which I have put together for the past few years. The customer service rep was lovely, and very interested in the Lego advent, but told me that the timings had actually been pushed back for orders, and that it was likely that things wouldn’t arrive until ‘40 working days’ after order, and that the warehouse had been closed down for a week which explained the extra delay. In all likelihood that means I’m going to have to source the gorillas via eBay or Bricklink - as that will be after Christmas. But I was told that there should be some better info next week once the warehouse is operating normally again. Long story short - I don’t know when my gorilla parts will arrive yet! Anyways, a short while later I got an email from the customer service rep, saying she really enjoyed talking to me, was excited about the Lego animal advent calendar, and didn’t want my nephews to run out of animals to build … and that as a gift from Lego she was sending two building sets for my nephews (it’s two of the little “Lego creative monsters sets (11017)”! How nice is that?! Lego customer service is a nice thing in a world where we don’t seem to get a lot of nice things some days. ❤️💛💚💙

Sideshow Bob I could see a mix of sets and a CMF. Characters like Skinner & Otto could come in school themed sets, but I think they would really have to up the quality and desirability of a new CMF series. I wasn’t as down on S2 as many were, but I think that some were poorly executed.

That’s the same ‘Celestial Dog’ as before, from what I can see, so it’s not *new* and of limited use with the printing on the head

Alpine garage better have a goat on the roof…

Nice.

Honestly - they could just give Sam two bananas. We’d all get the joke & no one is offended Right? plus some figures have shelf appeal beyond fans. The present D&D series being a point in case

I sure don’t Also : totally here for that

I have just ordered bodies with no arms… to make mine up !

Gorilla parts and tiger back in stock 🦍🐅

All of the adult gorilla parts, and the tiger, back in stock on B&P now

I don’t know what level of this is ‘self-censoring’ by the brand and what part is Lego rules.

I assume they will stick with ‘normal’ huskies, rather than any new version - though as you say more often than not sled dogs are a mixed bunch. Would be nice to get a penguin variant somehow. Bagsy a rockhopper! The random-animals-introduced-via-City are so hard to predict. So many still so overdue. I’d be fine with a swan, duck or something else ‘freshwater’-y though

It’s called fashion, look it up 💅🏻

Some new pics leaked of CMF27. Seem to confirm just the one cat for the ‘cat lover’, though you can’t really see the cat. Wolf looks smaller when standing next to the figure than it does in the group pic render.

Does seem to confirm just one cat for the cat lover. Wolf looks smaller in real life photos to the group shot too.

It’s interesting that they don’t have all the animals set out clearly, especially given there are a few. Nice surprise to see the dark tan bird reused. Hope that also makes it available on B&P in time

There’s a yellow bird too - so nothing new animal-wise. I like the puppy, would be nice yo get it in some more colours. There’s one new plant piece that I can see - a ‘flower bud’.
