    I agree it’s so good to see these figures and mobility aids being normalised across sets and themes. Representation matters so much. Would love to have seen some sort of revisit to the ‘teamGB’ Olympics or sports CMF series including some Paralympic athletes! I wonder what an ‘everyday’ prosthetic leg would look like in Lego terms? One of the impactful things is showing differences, but we also know that many eg prosthetics are so good as to be not readily visible. Similarly, there are so many invisible disabilities. I think that’s why the prosthetic leg is a ‘running blade’ - to be clear what it is. I think that’s also why the hearing impaired figure has a clearly printed hearing aid - despite so many heading aids being virtually invisible, and the fact that minifigures don’t have ears!

    The standard wheelchair also came in red / green in the skate park set!

    Always thought the LOTR/Hobbit sets shortchanged us by not including the Rhosgobel rabbits, as well as the missed potential for rideable boars & goats

    Four of those are not ‘gender neutral’ @MAB

    Aaaaaaaaaarguably an animal mould - looks like the ‘coral’ (“thallus”) piece comes in another colour this year - dark pink showing up in latest Monkie Kid sets.

    Adorable! From the hat I assume that the hedgehog also moonlights as a whip-cracking archaeologist getting into adventures. 😛

    Aye, they are desperate to make an app thing work with a theme!

    Genuinely fascinating that you guys don’t see it, when it’s there for me. It’s like that gold&white dress picture all over again :)

    Agreed -they are lots of fun, and have lots of potential. I just hope the choice of the name ‘Missions’ doesn’t limit them too much

    You’re overworking that software, dude.

    I’m calling that baby crocagator ‘Abby Gato’ now 😈

    Sure, I was just interested in who else should make the cut ;) Dionysus is referenced in the statue with the bunch of grapes, I thought. Aphrodite?

    This is beautiful. Great use of parts and colours, and amazing depth to the whole thing 🙌🏼

    Who’s missing from your *must-have* deity roster?

    I will be very happy to be proved wrong @Aurore ;)

    Twelve barn sets, twelve wildlife mission sets…

    I mean, my new thing is weird prints (that tan owl 🤮) or weird eye colours

    I like your optimism and logic. We should also get an alpaca, sloth, seahorse, bear cub, fawn, panda, fox, raccoon, hamster … etc then 😜

    To me that image *does* look like the baby crocagator has blue eyes again. Given that the adults never have ‘standard’ black animal eyes, maybe that’s just how they are. increasingly weirded out about the blank toy bunny in the Wildlife Missions set though … is that some sort of lure to entice the hare? 😜 I see the City ‘farm’ polybag has also been revealed. Not that interesting to my mind. Farmer figure with watering can, some accessories, a scarecrow build, small veg patch build with carrots and pumpkins, and a boring boring boring old white bunny.

    Ooh that looks like it might be a more useful version of the ‘Grim’ in HP set

    Love it @nicknack116!

    Duplo goats Brick built goats now a Minecraft goat … does Friends have one yet?

    Indeed. Stacking some sets with animals is a definite trend, across themes. Also great to see the inclusivity commitment coming through with more wheelchair users and the new prosthetic leg! Also, given the *ahem* issues with revamped Bricks n Pieces, I think the animal-heavy sets will be big sellers.
