There’s no arguing with logic. There’s also no logic here. If you reeeeeeeeeally think white straight people are not represented or even underrepresented in Lego then I got nothing for ya, you’re deluded. What is ‘actual homophobia’ then? Is it only physical violence, or being killed? Where are you drawing the line?

You might not. Feel free not to buy it.

Oh please, please, submit a ‘straight pride’ set to Lego ideas 😂

Depends who you are and which baker you order the cake from of course :)

Must be nice when your existence is ‘not political’.

So, my second ‘new animal’ order arrived today, and I’ve caught up to @Roebuck again - just missing those elusive elephant heads! Have to say, none of these animals disappoint in quality. The new adult lion with mane is great, I hadn’t quite sussed the slightly limited head mobility that the mane would cause, but it’s no biggie, the head seems to be slightly higher than the other big cats, to allow for the mane, giving it a more impressive silhouette. The lion cubs are cute, but nothing compared to the baby elephant which has to be the cutest single Lego brick ever made. Even cuter than that hermit crab! Printed python and new eagle are also exquisitely done, really sharp printing on what can’t be straightforward moulds. New croc colour is very welcome and the monkeys are great; so glad we get two different colours already. Last, but not least, the sheep is just perfect - the dual moulding on it, and the monkeys, lion mane, and eagle is so well done, and makes the colours so crisp and clean against each other. Will be interesting to see which ones are reused and how. I’m guessing many more uses of the monkey, and expect to see the lion cub as a tiger cub soon enough. Sheep being dual moulded is interesting - I wonder if we will ever see a ‘black sheep’ or if they will stick to only using the dual mould for two colours? Always feel like I’m playing catch up getting my Lego biodiversity updated though ... no sooner had I ordered these than I heard about the upcoming black angler fish, and a possible baby croc ... Not complaining, obviously. 😜

*technically* I think it’s a ‘convocation’ of eagles ;)

New eagle 🦅 seems to be available again.

New eagle seems to be back in stock on Bricks & Pieces 🦅

Do feel free to explain.

Oops. Your homophobia is showing.

Think it’s the Vidiyo pirate set

Yeah no idea what this means or why it’s relevant to the set.

@Aurore you have such a similar taste in parts to me - I love seeing your loot shots for inspiration on anything I’ve missed 👌🏼 ... also. Tan adult male lion seems to be available again 🦁

Hey all, ‘standard’ coloured male lion, both lion cubs, and both monkeys seem to be available on Bricks &Pieces right now. 🦁🦁🐵🐵

Lol. There are literally stores who don’t stock HP lego because they disagree with its content. Not to mention JK’s forays into social commentary. Yet, sure, QE is the bad influence. 🙄

Maybe this is all just a big ploy to get us to arrange an elephant body part swapping network

Nice try to pretend you didn’t deliberately order the Friends cats, @Roebuck

It’s like your birthday & Christmas all at once, @Roebuck

Eye print is exactly what I’d expect given it’s on a black head

Yikes. That’s pretty bad given we were told both elephant pieces came in the one bag ...

I think the elephant cancellation might also be because they’ve realised the system has a glitch and people are getting ‘just’ heads or bodies rather than both (like me). If those people have called up to get replacements then I’d assume that would have alerted them to the problem, and be something they need to fix with the existing customers first? So it might make sense to make the elephants not freely available while they work through that mess.

I mean, that seems to make more sense, right?

Does anyone understand the baby crocodile reference? I haven’t seen the show and don’t know if it’s an obvious thing, and/or wondered if it’s a ‘normal’ animal, or something with less other usefulness (y’know, like a cat with a Mohawk, or a sparkly transparent otter ;) )

I had four separate B&P orders placed on four different dates - they all ended up being delivered on the same day, today. 🤷🏽‍♂️
