  1. We already got a blue (and yellow) parrot in assembly square A lioness is only a matter of time before we get i am sure, and probably a new head mould for a male lion as well.. Animal news: -It looks like we will get the skunk in a normal set for the first time (60176). -Star wars set 75204 have the old snake, but it could be in a new color if it is not light bluish gray. -a new nexo knight set has some sort of critter shooter (but as far as I can see looks more like robots than live critters) and a polka dot pig
  2. If they release a elephant in a set it will be a updated mould for sure! I like the old one, but like other animals they have updated; the old one is nice and the new one is great
  3. Thank you for the info I wonder what the skunk will cost on B&P...
  4. So it means we will get it in a set for the first time?! Do you know what kind of set?
  5. Lost in translation, that can happen Is it this animal: It is as @makoy say already released in a CMF, but anyway it is interesting that they will have it in the first normal set? I had no luck finding it in a new set on brickshelf..
  6. New animal will be a plant?!
  7. Maybe a smaller set like 7936 Level Crossing is in the wave
  8. No Should of course be "Patience is a virtue" I have to some degree symptoms of a reading disorder, so can sometimes result in a few (funny) errors
  9. Well the "park" had only one animal (dog), in the "beach" on the other hand they had increased it to five (dog, parrot, lobster, fish and dolphin). The reason I believe is that Lego did not want to take too big chances with the first set before they see if it is popular, much like the early CMF.. They could easily included e.g. a pigeon, crow, squirrel and a deer in the "park". Now they know they are popular so they will probably include more new moulds (hopefully some of them are animals) in the sets to come. I think the "fun" sets are our best chance for a pigeon at least, looking forward to see the next one in a few months
  10. Any theme that brings new animal moulds to the table is good news for me But as several already have pointed out circus animals are frowned upon by many people these days and without the animals they loose a lot of the attraction. So I do not think it is likely with a hole subtheme, a few CMF or maybe something like "Fun at the circus" could happen in the future Zoo's are more likely, because: A couple of years ago I made a similar tread concerning a zoo theme:
  11. Ditto
  12. I have only seen the police set prelim and that turned out to have a black bear.. On the other hand the jungle set prelims had the black leopard in the big set and the normal one in the small set, they where swamped in the real sets! Lets hope that happens now also
  13. Ok, then I would like to see revamps of: 1: 6763-1: Rapid River Village 2. 6276-1: Eldorado Fortress 3. 7414: Elephant Caravan (or other adventures set like 5976: River Expedition, 5986: Amazon Ancient Ruins) 4. 10193-1: Medieval Market Village or 7189-1: Mill Village Raid 5. 7637: Farm (or other farm set like 7684: Pig Farm & Tractor, 6419: Rolling Acres Ranch) In short mostly very good sets with a lot of animal moulds or sets that have the potential to include a lot of animal moulds if they revamps them
  14. See the new puma mould here: The bear that looked reddishbrown in the prelim turned out to be black, but at least we got one new bear colour
  15. It is most likely the upcoming mountain lion/puma/cougar! Nice one, what did you pay if I may ask
  16. Personally I don not want re-releases since they take a spot from a new set. What could be interesting is if they make some old classics like pirates, indians and castle with modern pieces and building. That would mean that eg eldorado fortress with 462 bricks would become a set with 2-3000 pieces
  17. Sounds like someone just lost a lot of money with this release I think it is to stop the Chinese pirates, the scalpers were just collateral damage.. My main concern is that if there is to many re-releases, the old sets will take a place in the shop from a new one, but I think Lego have tried this enough to now that a new set sells better than a re-release. I would be fine with a "re-release" of some old classics like pirates, Indians and castle if they make them with the standard of today's bricks and building technique, but I do not see it happening. It is a reason why we get a new police station every year..
  18. As I and many others expected one of the two biggest set on the list was a architecture set, but had not expected this I do not believe Lego cares about the scalpers and that some sets increase a lot. What they do care about is when a company who must not be named starts steeling their old treasures and make a lot of money So now we see their answer to the pirate scum... 1. Hope this was the one and only architecture set on the list. 2.Come down we will get a new modular, this only shows that they keep the lid on things until they are released. 3.Personally I do not hope they start releasing old modulars, it will take a spot from another new set (in worst case a new modular).
  19. Brickset has posted some more 2018 pics, including one with a blackbear , beehive and a half-naked guy with paw print on his underwear
  20. The last Hogwarts had 1290 pieces if we get a D2C one we can expect to get between 3 and 4 times that piece count, but maybe only twice the size, the rest will go to make more details...
  21. New to this game Voted sabre island for tactical reasons (not so keen on islands with a skull sets), but I think Crocodile Cage is a neat little set
  22. Bought it a week ago I always wait until I get a good deal, this time it was 34% of (Norwegian price) and a bricktober set
  23. So far there are very few important FB persons compared to HP, so if they give FB 2-3 normal sets and 5-6 CMS figs (out of 20) they should be covered. If HP then gets 3-4 normal sets, most of the CMS and hopefully a huge D2C set, I for one will be very surprised if they do not give us Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff uniforms! Heck the CMS should manage that easily alone
