    No wonder it’s such a good idea then! S24 will be interesting - after two no-animal series in a row, fingers crossed it’s overcompensation time. But it’s getting impossible to predict

    I for one think that even if we just stick solely to a ‘City’ interpretation of City - we still are animal-lacking. No pigeons, crows, ducks, raccoons, foxes or falcons for a start ;)

    You’re right. As usual. Coral was made for that flamingo!

    Mountie, Lumberjill or Park Ranger with a beaver, I reckon 🦫 In practice the pattern is that EVERY animal released in CMF has been reused in time, either in sets, BAM, or more CMFs. That sometimes happens immediately, and sometimes takes a while. The ones which haven’t been or aren’t imminently being reused (mouse, flamingo, hermit crab, toucan If I recall correctly) are still *relatively* new.

    Don’t diss the ostrich. I love him.

    I dunno. I think if *any* licensed series could break the new normal of 12 figures, it’s Disney. And two complete sets of a series of 18 would fit perfectly in the new boxes of 36…

    Looks like the nougat bulldog might be showing up in BAM stations soon

    Hey buddy. Yes! They are listed as ‘mountain’ parts Mountain bottom is 6082 (available in dark tan, out of stock in dark grey) Mountain top is 6083 (available in dark grey) And the newer one, called Mountain brick is 23996 (available in dark grey and dark tan)

    Agree - and some pretty neat figures in their own right. The snowman, nutcracker, elf, dragon, turkey and wolf costumes are all great! Here’s hoping we are ‘overcompensated’ with animals and historical figures in Series 24 though

    Yeah they really went all over the place with the gator eyes, there’s no consistency across the adults or the babies

    You *do* mean the head, right?

    Interesting change to the standard cat mould. Up until now the injection mould point was at the base of the tail (giving the cats a defacto butthole). In the new 2022 versions of both ‘Crookshanks’ and ‘Mrs Norris’ from the Harry Potter sets, the injection point is on the top of the head. But ‘Sox’ in the Lightyear sets released this year still has the old mould with butthole. Maybe it’s just in the wizarding world that cat butts need censored?

    It seems as if the January series will be Series 24. *Sometimes* the January series start showing up in shops in late December, but technically they’re next year’s release.

    Are any of the scarecrow parts new?

    Given the Bricklink prices at the moment for the new animals, the Wildlife Missions set is a better buy if you get a decent discount. The secondary cost of those *tiny* piglets and lambs is totally obscene. I’m still waiting on a cheaper option for my farmyard beasties, but have managed to score the owls, panthers, hares, and crocagator.

    Batboy’s headpiece and winged torso are new colours / prints (lavender wings and ear print) and the witch has new torso/dress slope, plus new colour of the witch hat introduced in s14 CMF (black hat, orange hair)
  19. williejm
    Indeed. At this stage they might be better doing something like a quarterly ‘regular’ update on including new parts, to stop everyone asking and so they can plan around demand.

    It’s sweet. The bellhop is a great figure but the foal is the star
  21. williejm
    City advent pics are out (although not many) - three animals in the calendar, the existing dark grey kitten, the dark orange chicken, and the foal in a new colour. Body is white, and tail/mane appears to be either tan or maybe light yellow @DBlegonerd7

    So exciting. If the big set has M’Baku *and* Ramonda, it will be a dream. Now I just need every single hat and hair variation available for the Queen Mother …

    It’s been showing up in BAMs now for quite a while, I think

    Lol @lifeinplastic no I agree with all of that. Since wombats do blocky cube-shaped poop they should be an ideal Lego animal inclusion 😂 I think I see the new animals, much as I want them aaaaaaaaallllllll, in terms of which ones are a) necessary to ‘sell’ or authenticate a particular theme, and b) which have usefulness elsewhere. That *seems* to be how Lego considers new parts, so it would make some sense. But clearly in some instances and for whatever reasons, they produce bespoke one-off animal moulds and confuse us all.
