    Thanks for answering! That was a disappointment I was hoping for four, realistically two, but one is a lot better than none.. Is it a “new” cow or just the brown one with “lone ranger horns”?
  2. Roebuck
    Yes, it is arctic city sets on the way and if we are extremely lucky they will include reindeer. If they change the antlers and the printing it is possible they can use the same mould for reindeer and elk/red deer, even though not ideal since the size is not a perfect match and they look different. However what Thranduil is riding is a now extinct species of giant deer; the Irish elk! That is a least twice the size of reindeer and elk/red deer. It is one of the largest cervids that ever lived, around the same size as the Alaskan moose and that mould can not be used on reindeer as well...

    I agree we can use the boar in other themes if they do not make it to big. A fair bit bigger than the pig is OK, since the pig is rather small compared too the biggest wild boars, but not monster big. That’s why I do not agree with your conclusion, and prefer the boar over the huge bear TLC can use the brown bear they have in the set, tough I doubt they will! If Dain is riding a boar in the movie, I guess Thranduil will ride his Irish elk to battle, but that has even less chance of becoming a mould

    To me the friends lamb and other friends animals are as useless as duplo ones. That is too bad because earlier series aimed at girls, have brought us animals we can use like the foal (I see some wrongly call it a pony) for instance. TLC care about what the customers want, if we make it clear we want more animal moulds, they will give it too us Yes, you are right and that was a nice surprise from TLC

    You are probably right, but If Lego wanted to include sheep in a set they would have no problems making some buildable stuff to go with it. The other farm animals were also very “late to the party” as well except the horse off course. I believe Lego have understood that we want more animal moulds, but they are releasing them in a slow rate to save money and have us eagerly awaiting the next mould Take the goat for instance; they could have easily released a sheep instead. But in the period before the goat came out, several great moc’s with brick built goats were made. So maybe they wanted to surprise us, because I guess they pay rather close attention to what AFOL’s are doing. Do not get me wrong, I preferred the goat over sheep, because I think it is more likely with a sheep in the future than the other way around We can only hope for a quick return of the farm subtheme! A another matter is molded reindeers with Santa in the winter village series, that is a excellent opportunity I can not believe they have not used yet

    I hope that is true! The most likely next new dog, I would guess are a sheep dog in a set with some sheep But after that a dachshund is very likely due to there easy recognisable body shape... I hope they find him with all his moulded reindeers

    It is one set with two nice goats (7189 Mill Village Raid), but we unfortunately have not gotten any usable sheep mould yet. We got one lamb with the friends line now, but that are as useless as the duplo sheep It is definitely a new dog mould! It is the 4th dog breed and 3rd mould in a very short time It is actually possible they will realise my favourite; the Dachshund in a couple of years if they keep up the good work I agree the huskies look great even if they just are prelims and they where a very pleasant surprise The polar bear is also great, but I was expecting it sooner or later ever since we got the brown bear. We also have a nice polar bear from back in the days, so I would have preferred a new animal instead. I really hope you are right! I usually do not buy the non exclusive train sets, but if the train wagons are full with cows, then I most likely will buy it Do you know how many cows the set will have?

    The last Agents series brought a new big shark mould in addition to a couple of other sets with animals, so I hope we get a new animal mould with this series as well

    Animals Crossing my fingers for cows

    I do not dare to hope we are that lucky
  11. Roebuck
    Sounds like a wonderful wave to me (but not very likely..)
  12. Roebuck
    I am pretty sure it is a spotted pig and not a dirty pig Anyway, it is a great addition to the set! Animals, the more the merrier
  13. Roebuck
    That is great, but I doubt it will help the price on cows going down Is there some new color on the cow? Look at its hoofs, seem to be pinkish I hope that is not the case, because it will cost me “the white out of my eyes” to get a few of those then
  14. Roebuck
    This series has a lot of cannons alt least, for those in need of that I see at least three at the ship, could be the same at the other side. MetalBeard's Duel and Creative Ambush comes with two etch so should be some useful pieces for the MOCèrs out there?!
  15. Roebuck
    I hope you are right

    “Project Deleted - This project has been removed for not following the Guidelines” Whaaaaaat!! Whyyyyy? I had a tiny hope this great project would make it Come on Lego we need more animal molds, no I am not talking about friends or duplo
  17. Roebuck
    Thank you
  18. Roebuck
    Hopefully they will make it up to us by having at least a couple of seagulls in the next modular
  19. Roebuck
    By the look of these sets, one could think that the designers were using drugs when they made them But I guess the hole point is that they shall look like a kid made them from his/hers random pieces, tough a rather talented kid I would say. The sets have a lot of nice pieces and minifigures, so should be great for Moc’ers? I will not buy the sets, but may BL some civilian minifigures.. On the animal front I notice a chicken in a new colour and a new shark mould, in addition to a parrot, a horse, two crocodiles, a frog and a white chicken! Not bad at all

    10674 Pony Farmsounds promising To bad the pictures are removed! Looks like Lego is working overtime too remove leaked pictures, they are beating me to it all the time nowadays
  21. Roebuck
    The only complaint I have with this set is that we did not get he promised seagull apparently We can only hope the realise there mistake and do like they did with the admiral daughter’s extra dress in imperial flagship 10210
  22. Roebuck
    You are probably right; it would most likely be oversized anyway. Some times the most unlikely theme pop up with new animal moulds (e.g. prince of Persia), so a had a tiny hope as I said for this theme as well I think the eagle is fine, but since there is nothing on this side of middle earth that is close to that size, it is of no use to me. I am mostly a collector so part packs is of no use to me either, but I am glad you liked it and fine some use for the sets
  23. Roebuck
    I had a tiny hope after seeing a legendary lion beast in a chima episode, that they would be new animal moulds usable in other themes
  24. Roebuck
    You forgot the mermaid! She will fit in nicely with the pirates
  25. Roebuck
    Yes, but as I said was not the new shark body only in the picture?! I think the sets came with a new shark head, but not the new body. Maybe they had too empty the stock of the old mould, before they could release the new. It is a lot of sharks in those sets so it makes sense.
