    Someday we might get them in moulds also
  2. Roebuck
    That is definitely a possibility If not City pulls the trigger first

    OK, I also buy mostly PAB directly from Lego these days, but I have saved up points for years now waiting for something worth spending them on in the reward centre and that do not happen a lot Yes that is right after you have triggered a reward the clock is ticking, so you better have something to buy in the next couple of months
  4. Roebuck
    Why?! Are you out of points? I thought it would be easier for most people to get a insider reward than another GWP you must spend a ton of money to get?
  5. Roebuck
    They do now

    Maybe it's similar to when a part retire with a set then pops up in new set a few months later it it gets a new part number right? When a printed animal retire with a set and then pops up 2 years later in another set, maybe they need to design the printing from scratch for that part. Makes little sense why they do not just store the print on a computer for use later Or maybe they are made on different factories and that's why they need to design them again I must check, but I probably picked up the dark gray one since it also had the printed chest not that I noticed the slightly different face-print Talking about cats the star trek set comes with one, not sure if it is a crazy looking one, new color etc (must probably google it).. Edit:

    Do not blame me I am in the same boat, did not know about the latest cat prints either However I must say they look worse than the originals

    I hope for around 1$, but fear it's 4$+ This seem like a nice blog by the way (just taken a quick look) https://www.bukabricks.com/en/brick-bestiary-the-ultimate-lego-animal-archive/

    How will no printing affect the price, It should be cheaper right or is dual-moulded expensive on its own? I think the first was rather cheap, but the second not so much or do I remember wrong? The can print it later I assume? However has that ever happened with a dual-moulded part Pigeons can be rather colourful and diverse so printing would be useful

    I am planning to do the same It's a nice GWP, but nothing that I must have. However if I am going to wait until they make one I must have, the gorillas etc are probably retired Somewhat irritating that the juvenile ones still have not come back in stock
  12. Roebuck
    I would argue that adding at least another horse in that set would increase the playability instead. I see your point and do not think that every set need to have 4-5 horses included, however since Lego are selling the horses for a lot on PAB it seems they value them higher in budgets when designing sets also. So the designers must really want a horse to include it in a set, during the 80-90ties the horse was apparently much more realistically priced so the designers could include one or more in set if they liked without it eating up a huge part of the budget compared to other parts
  13. Roebuck
    That is probably a part of it since previously we would get normal horses in sets like that, like Paradisa and Town. More important: is probably that we do not have a Castle, Western or other theme that require a lot of horses. It's strange indeed, but they have one in this odd set that never retire: Maybe they made a lot in 2012-2013 and then suddenly had no sets to use it in after Castle, LOTR, Lone ranger was shut down It is plain greed with the animals prices these days, Lego knows we love them so they make us bleed for them Lego really did miss the mark with the Town square and cut the budget so bad they could not even include a horse in the set No that is the first place, not even the flagship castle sets of that time had more than 4 It's more realistic that carriages are pulled by 4 horses then 1 like here: However Lego could apparently still include a lot of horses in a smaller set even if it probably is not very likely and there would have to be a "need" for them in the set like this one with the deer:

    Find one error, lobster or crab
  15. Roebuck
    Beggars can't be choosers I assume we do not get any new animals before next year now so anything is a bonus at this point
  16. Roebuck
    Is that crab yellow? Probably not
  17. Roebuck
    I assume that is a new moustache? Could be very useful for dwarfs, vikings etc
  18. Roebuck
    Is it the first time they have used that part for the rigging or is it a new mould? Looks interesting
  19. Roebuck
    Yes, without a doubt. However in this case I would have been disappointed with the lack of animals anyway when the 2 previous sets in the village had so many
  20. Roebuck
    What a waste, especially to foal would be great to have, it looks to fit with the horse from MVR Maybe since they have the colour now it is easier to get it in another normal print later, however what set could that be included in short term?
  21. Roebuck
    Yes, 4 horses should be no problem for Lego to include and it was the golden standard for big Castle sets back in the they, but with only 2 in LKC I think any more is highly unlikely unfortunately Me too, I still have not got it and if it had included anything close to the prelim picture it would have been one of my favourite Lego sets of all time Talk about butchering a set with the budget cuts
  22. Roebuck
    I think the pink foal leaked in the middle of April this year, if you saw some pink animals before that it was probably elephants The minifigure price machine has 1 parrot, but it is somewhat of a missed opportunity when it comes to animals, but I assume they used the hole budget on minifigs and could not include anyone that was bigger/printed as accessories
  23. Roebuck
    I am not so interested if the first half City sets however the interview is interesting especially towards the end. seems like they do not plan to do a big police and fire wave anytime soon since they did them last year. They try to build a system within City so hopefully this can lead to more interesting sets down the line

    BDP eats the scraps from Lego sets, if there are no other classic Lego sets with figs and accessories the BDP sets have nothing to include.. I agree with @TeriXeri. They are basically Mocs and have nothing to do with real Lego sets..
