    Don’t. I’m not ready 😐

    Maybe it’s just 12 different recolours of classic spacemen 🌈

    The new ‘naked’ horse has eyelashes, because of course it does …

    That’s brick built reindeer abomination has ruined my week

    This is beautiful

    I shall call it ‘smowl’

    Ah. Potato camera

    It would be appropriate to have a new mould, but it also means that we would have three current moulds for *just* owls. I’m obviously not complaining, though we do still lack some pretty basic animals, whilst owls get all the love, and goats get all the teasing ;)

    And the Flying Monkeys in TLM2, and most recently the werewolf version of Professor Lupin in the Shrieking Shack

    Ah, Schrödinger’s goat. Maybe it will be a chase figure, in gold, and only in one in every 100 sets. I honestly think part of me is going to be sad when the goat is no longer of mythical status. In so many ways it’s one of the most obvious animals for Lego to produce, as goats are universally known and kept. Though obviously they are not first in line in the standard Old MacDonald farm repertoire.

    I blame Europeans for being colonisers and not understanding biology when they went places! I prefer to use ‘moose’ whether in Europe or N America, simply as it’s a much better name than ‘elk’. As for Bambi getting Disney species-swapped, as someone who lives in Scotland, where they like to emblazon stags on almost everything, you’d be amazed how often Scottish branded things feature American deer species! fun fact - Europe does now have naturalised populations of raccoons (and racoon dogs / tanuki) - though they are not native.

    Oh I think we should pressure him. I also assume he updates it every month 😂

    Once saw a rather splendid suggestion as a solution to gender balance in the CMFs, which was to include double sided heads with one ‘male’ and one ‘female’ face. Genius, but also I can just imagine the conniptions from some quarters! I adore the old style hieroglyphic printed bricks from the Adventurers theme (even more so because they all spell something), and the stickers that have come since, in the Indy sets and Pharaoh’s Quest, have been urgh.

    Love this! think I’d agree with the ‘Mushrooms’ idea. Also, since seeing the Friends Botanic Garden set, I’ve been keen to see how the Botanical range would tackle bigger scale versions of the Titan Arum, and some carnivorous plants (pitcher plants, Venus fly trap & sundews)

    Hush. It’s beautiful. I’m another vote for more animals, and a more diverse understanding of ‘City’. I think the locations like forest, swamp and Arctic are all fine - but even if one was being purist, there are cities which have bears, leopards, monkeys, etc

    The new animals seem to be appearing a bit sporadically and randomly …

    Printed ‘moth’ from the A Frame cabin is available on bricks & pieces on Lego site. Just in case anyone has been waiting for a slightly cheaper way to get some.

    Maybe we will have to wait for the next year of the goat, for an entire Goat-fest

    Nice! this would give us a neat way to get some historical characters. Perhaps not Hitler though.
  22. williejm
    For sure they put the henhouse / chicken battle pack to shame 😆

    It’s free publicity when all the North American fans are complaining about missing out the sets for two months on all the social media & forums 😄

    The owl features in the last episode of Hawkeye in a Christmas tree - I think it’s a saw-whet owl. That’s a small species, so there’s an outside chance that they give us a new, smaller, owl mould. That would make sense for use in other themes - but who knows? (In theory they should have given us a new mould with the owl that came with Cho Chang CMF but they didn’t) And yes the adult seal is a good size, which is nice to see.

    Nice to see the black cat back. Hope it’s easily available! Apparently an owl and dog coming in the next Marvel CMF wave. Would assume a new print on the owl, and the dog will likely reuse the retriever mould, but may get a new one. Either way, since it’s Lucky the Pizza Dog, it will be the first non-Friends animal with a visible disability, as Lucky has only one eye.
