For once No not now, I am a collector of animals moulds so I buy a lot when they make new ones. Experience have thought me that they will only increase in price later (the horse have already doubled in price ), so it is better to get them while they are hot if I need them in the future for a project they will probably be to expensive by then

As long as it sells they will make it no matter what, just look at SW

Queenie is in a poster, but not Porpentina. What is going on with her, she was not in the trailer either https://www.mugglenet.com/2022/02/secrets-of-dumbledore-character-posters-tease-dumbledores-first-army/

I might get the cabin, depends on how it look. I wonder how many (few) of the animals that make it into the final set I would never have guessed those two in this round..

From how I understood it the Sonic mould had the same fate as the goat mould gone and broken. They had no time to make a completely new Sonic mould, since they must design it, test it etc so instead they just remade the old mould just like they can do with the goat if they like to “We were able to recut the mould,” Sam explains, “so the mould is made again for the set. We recut it and optimised it a little bit, and then looked at revamping it with brand new decorations and colours as well.” "But if the LEGO Group could do that for Sonic – despite the original mould being ‘deleted’ – couldn’t it do the same for the goat? " "“There’s definitely a 3D file of it somewhere,” he says coyly. “So who knows, maybe there’ll be a return of the king." I did not think the GWP would have the budget for a new mould, have that ever happened before? However there was a chance City could have used the budget on it, since there is coming a set with chips in the name Anyway 3 animals in a CWP must be very high on the list if not on the top?

No not the original ones, at best it would have been a bigger goat mould, that I am sure some fantasy builders would find extremely useful (me not so much).. However Lego are almost trolling us now naming a set "goat-boat"

Would be the easiest 10 000 votes ever

It is printed round plates not proper shields I think, however some may find them useful anyway No moulded goats in the set of course

Looks like the old CMF mould in 2 colours, but a really nice GWP No surprise the goats where brick-built in the goatboat More goat news: https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-confirms-goat-could-come-back-after-all/

With all the new juvenile animals we getting this year I sure hope we start see some recolors of them in BAM soon

DH is preferable because then we will get 3 other figs than the trio and that is a rare treat If it is OotP where are the fighters on both sides? If it instead is from the trial where is Fudge, Dumbledore etc?

I have no idea what they may cook up down in Billund, but you must remember that Lego designers do not think like most of us here, it is a reason why we guess so much wrong about coming sets and end up being surprised a lot of the time

For me it is 20% DA expansion set, 10% HE and 70% chance for something different

76400 Hogwarts Carriage with Thestrals Sounds like a fantastic set, the thestral mould is amazing so happy to see that again and now we get a juvenile as well 76401 Hogwarts: Sirius' Rescue Sounds like a nice set, like that we get buckbeak in another set as well. However as several people have mentioned Ginny do not make much sense there, but not sure who it can be instead if she is a stand in fig 76402 Hogwarts: Dumbledore's Office sounds rather expensive so should include several animal moulds for that price. Love that we finally get Mrs. Norris, I am sure she has a new colour, but could even have a new mould Fawkes and and owl could be included, but not sure what else hike up the price? 76403 Ministry of Magic Sounds great, but it makes no sense it is from OOTP with the figs included if Lego are still are making sets based on what characters was in the different scenes. It is most likely from DH with stand in figs in the prelim, the trio in disguise as Reginald Cattermole, Mafalda Hopkirk and Albert Runcorn with their normal face on the other side. Dolores Umbridge, Arthur Weasley and the dementors makes sense then. Lucius Malfoy is probably a stand in for Yaxley, the last unknown fig could be Thicknesse or someone else present. For the 100th time no one from Lego have said they will never make DH sets 76404 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar could be anything 76405 D2C set could be anything, but probaly not MOM any more 76406 Hungarian Horntail make sense to make a better one since the last was not well received, will wait to see it if I am interested.. 76407 Howling Shack Rather expensive so I expect new moulds for both padfoot and werewolf, probably not any shops included, but maybe the WW 76408 ? could be anything Sounds like a good wave however disappointed about the lack of FB sets so far

Is it the same as last year or a new series?

If nothing else, there is a lot of useful animals released this year you could use money on

It is a 4+ set so why should we care how many parts there are in the set as long as it is plenty of new animals in it? I am sure it is the normal cow, but with a new print/color, 3 new moulds and at least 6 animals in total in the set. It it had been a D2C set we AFOLs could have given negative feedback if we did not like the design, however in this case the designer have been given the task of designing a 4+ farm set for $70. So to plan giving negative feedback on a 4+ set based on the number of parts before even seeing the set is rather 4+ behavior We have been waiting over a decade for new farm sets and I for one hope that there is a bigger set in the wave aimed at older kids (or if I shall dream even a D2C for adults), however the animals are most important and we get a lot of them at least

Yes it is almost like they are trolling us with the goat boat (if they are brick-built) I am sure it is just a way to pouring gas on fire, to increase the hype before we finally get a set with goats again

Me too! However 564 parts for 50 euro in a Marvel set do not sound like it has a new goat mould in it Probably something like this :

If they are moulds I am sure they at best are some mean-looking billy goats, probably something bigger that could be very useful in a fantasy setting, but not in a City farm etc

I also got the mail a couple of days ago.. The animals got the short stick unfortunately: https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-pick-a-brick-auswertung-preisanpassungen/

We will see, but last year we got icons D2C and not one of us had guessed that beforehand. I want a DA expansion as much as the next one here, but would not be surprised if they surprise us with something different again

I do not remember the exact wording, but could you not eat a Lego minifig hand and be home free (kids do not do this at home)? Something like this do you mean
