    Apparently they are made from prelim pictures of the sets so they could change, but would be surprised if we do not get a single new animal out of the patronus gimmick. Hopefully they will include them in the sets in the coming years also.. HP has a lot of budget and are not afraid to use it on new animal moulds after all

    It was just a scale how well you liked the idea on each point, I was mostly on the natural-negative side on most of them There was also a question about about what kind of modular set idea (new or revisited) I would like to see. You should choose 3 of a lot of "older modulars" and some new ones. There I choose park, train station and post office.

    Hi and welcome Yesterday I answered a survey about Lego Icons sent to my LUG, there where a few general questions, but after that most of the questions was about Modulars and Winter village sets. How do you feel about: second modular series (steampunk, historical etc) wider sets narrower buildings sets from real world IP Sets from other styles/part of the world taller buildings extra sets to add more floors on the buildings etc So they are interested in finding out more what the customers want from the modular series at least, not sure if that has anything to do with the anniversary next year or not

    Yes, unfortunately they have stopped with paper part list, they probably save a lot of money and paper so make sense.. They will ship the order even if a part is missing from stock now, sometimes they ship it later and sometimes they delete it it seems. So must pay more attention now and put any missing parts back on the next order, but it seems there is less delay now at least

    Yes it had the potential to become the G.O.A.T. set when it came to animals and Lego cut the budget big time and gave us one recoloured goat instead. I was shocked for months, the set is decent, but could have been so much more and ended up selling below expectation and retired early
  6. Roebuck
    You are probably right, series 20 was not anything special. 50 years of minifig on the other hand should be crazy

    Pretty sure they used the CMF budget since the Icons set had not the budget to do it themself. Icons MTS was a very low budget set compared to the high budget set that leaked of it a year before

    Thank you, perfect when someone have a good source to back their claims I still think the wording of the goat mould was damaged means that it was destroyed because they could not find a use for it in a set the next 5 years.. No wonder when they closed down the castle theme and had not any farm sets in City etc.. OK, so both the mouse and flamingo are probably made in China then, if they where made today they would probably showed up in BAM or a set

    I had to contact CS since they charged me for shipping, they gave me Insider points to cover both the shipping and to buy the part when it is back in stock However recommend you to pay more attention with orders going forward since parts can suddenly disappear. On the other hand orders seem tho ship faster now
  10. Roebuck
    Yes, and that makes sense when parts disappear as well, up to 5 years old parts show up again without much issue in a new set, after that it seems much harder. That video was a eyeopener to me and it suddenly made sense why the goat mould was destroyed. It believe the CMF parts are special and are made on a different factory (in China?). If they want a CMF part in a set later they need to make a new mould in another factory for it. Since they already have made the mould once it cost less money to make a copy of it than something from scratch. However probably more than another part already in production and some parts they do not find a use for outside the CMF Take this with a pinch of salt, I think I have read it somewhere, but do not have a source to show you.
  11. Roebuck
    Yes, it's possible they can just use any mould that have been in use within the last 5 years I am not do not think so at least, somebody else with a better memory can help us out BAM definitely have a lot of recolors of parts (even a few animals) and a lot on new prints on minifigures etc.
  12. Roebuck
    No prints in Match, but maybe the black kitten will show up printed somewhere

    New elementary have all the new parts every months (you can get it other places as well), a few years ago it was more like: "Look at what I found on PAB just now!!". https://www.newelementary.com/2026/02/lego-pick-brick-new-elements-coming-in.html
  14. Roebuck
    I fear the mouse and flamingo is in the same boat as the goat. They have not been in a set for more than 5 years so the mould is destroyed, so it will cost a lot in terms of budget to get them back. If something with a lot of budget like a IP need one of them they might come back, but until that happens BAM is unlikely. Except some new prints it seems like BAM piggyback on other themes and use moulds that show up there. So it is a little strange we get the koala now, it might show up in another set soon, or Lego had a lot in stock they need to get rid of or they do it to keep the mould alive (If BAM can do that it would be great).. It's BAM so we can hope, but I do not expect much, if it's been City on the other hand..

    Has it not been 3-4 only every wave this year? The Easter one was 3 I believe
  16. Roebuck
    Great to see some animals in BAM again
  17. Roebuck
    Nice to see some animals there again and it's been some time since we saw the koala, good to get the wolf pup, but the fox would be a lot better
  18. Roebuck
    I saw the picture and dismiss it as a dark grey kitten, then looked later and it must be a adult however it looked strange like the chihuahua almost. So probably a sitting one if so that is nice Damn, I think you are right, I thought it was a more natural color in the mane and planned to use it as a normal foal I am sure the the fish skeleton will be very useful, just think about all those garbage cans with fish in them I will struggle to try and sell the fig that comes with the clown fish

    They have put up shipping in the order now, but will see what happens when they ship it. I they charge me I will complain of course
  20. Roebuck
    I am not sure that is correct The USA have still bestseller and standard right? So assume bestseller come from USA and standard from Billund. Standard and replacement parts have always come from Billund in the past at least The rest of us gets PAB parts from Poland..
  21. Roebuck
    News from the Bricktastic PAB talk via the PAB discord. Increased the headcount in the polish warehouse by 50% 13/1-26 5600 orders where picked in the bestseller warehouse! pickers can do 4 orders at the same time (could be why some parts are extra or missing?) 45 rows with a average of 350 bins! In the last few weeks they can finally part ship orders (makes sense with my latest orders)
  22. Roebuck
    Maybe, time will tell, something is wrong with the system that is for sure Will see if my snails are cancelled as well then My third order suddenly dropped in cost and when I look at it the pirate coins now cost 0, so the order is now below the free shipping limit. Do this mean that coins are cancelled? I for sure will not pay shipping for Lego error ..
  23. Roebuck
    They shipped me an order yesterday and today I got a mail saying 1 part was backordered! It's marked "Partial shipped/Partial backordered", so apparently @eldiano this could be a thing now however I assume they should tell you if that is the case with your order. Guess what part that was missing: Snails!
  24. Roebuck
    Personally the most interesting thing is the minifigures (or less likely animals) with the set, after last years shift with sets in Creator 3-in-1 with new superb minifigs and even animal moulds in one of them we should expect something new and usefull in the set
  25. Roebuck
    Parts go in and out of stock and sometimes they disappear completely and reappear later. I would not worry about it unless there are parts from a set that has retired
