    I do not know much about moulding theory or if it makes most sense to use more colors or print for a fox, however it is very unlikely Lego have made a arctic fox and did not plan to make a red fox of the mould. The new management in City have even said they prefer to make moulds they can use several times, like the dog with the vest they made 4 versions of..

    I agree, the last garden had a new butterfly print I think so expect not anything more than that here either..

    Heal the world and give us a normal CMF with something for everyone
  4. Roebuck
    Me too, what makes a garden "medieval"? lots of animals hopefully, like a Dovecote for pigeons Maybe it's a another set that has a new shield or similar part to give us something without giving us a proper Castle set

    I can not remember if I had it in hand at SFW, if so did not look to closely at it or it may be it was one of the parts that got stolen(!), I was most interest in the pigeon (that was apparently the part most people was interested in according to the PAB-team ). I see the pigeon is double moulded, but how easy is there to see if a mould is that if it only got the same color? The lipstick apparently is a double mould that also has been made in only one color, but I do not have a lot of those at hand You are funny when you are bitter I assume you mail did not lead to any change in the fox price either I will say they count, even if they are expensive and hard to come buy now

    If it's a normal series it would be shocking if it do not have any new animals yes (about time after 3 duds) A crow/raven knight would be my first choice, but the most important is to get the raven of course Another place I saw a user speculate the fox was dual moulded and made for a red fox, but the arctic fox in all white hit the shelf first. Will be interesting to see maybe we get one already in January if we are lucky

    I just found out the fox cost 2,5 euro in Legoland Germany, the same price it would probably have on PAB if someone at Lego did not try to force us to buy the set they came in I have still hope for BAM if not maybe a trip to Germany is in order

    We have had some very good quality animals this year that is right, but compared to the last few years the quantity has been low
  9. Roebuck
    No they get to sell the big set for say 200$ directly to the customer, compared to maybe 100$ if they had to sell it to another store first I agree with rest of your post

    Hang in there buddy, I know it's November and the year has not been great when it comes to Lego animals, but hopefully we will get some good news for next year soon Not any new cat color in the Star trek set it seems, but on the positive side we do not have to chase it behind the licensed wall

    I do not think I agree (if I understood you correctly). I do not think the GWP has anything to do with the budget of the bigger set, they only last a short period and only a few will get them when buying the bigger set during its shelf time. However I agree it is a "gift" since you have to pay full retail price for the bigger set to get it instead of waiting some month and probably get a much higher discount than the "value" of the GWP I try to get the modular GWP if I can for cheap (without buying the big set on day 1), but have a much more relaxed attitude towards GWP these days. I like to get them when I buy PAB, but I usually do not buy sets for full price from Lego and if I miss out of most GWP in a year its fine by me Must be a very attractive Castle or Pirates GWP if I actively will go in to get it.

    Butterfly in white
  13. Roebuck
    Hard to know the color from the render
  14. Roebuck
    Clam up We are all wondering that, maybe it was a experiment or they not have the resources to to both, like that one year they rereleased the toy shop in the winter village line because they could not make a new one
  15. Roebuck
    One can dream, but the last Castle wave was in 2013, Pirates in 2015, Space got a more resent one, so you might wait a long time Of course BDP will make big Castle sets, but without back up of parts from normal sets, the minifigs will look like this:

    It is probably Lego trowing us a bone, but there is no meat on the bone.. This looks like something we typically can use insider points on, but I never do. How hard is it to make a GWP carriage set? Classic Castle are full of them, 1 horse or cow, a small carriage, 1-2 minifigures; it's a no-brainer!
  17. Roebuck
    I hope for a new normal series with something for everyone, 3 useless series in a row for me now
  18. Roebuck
    Personally I have very little interest in microbuilds, they look nice, but are not for me..
  19. Roebuck
    I guess it depends on when you are born and what Lego you do remember from your childhood, but I am very in line with you on this For me Castle started for real in 1984 when the horse was introduced, then it peaked 1987-88 with forestmen, black knights and bardings. Then started go downhill in 1993 and hit rock bottom in the early 2000. Out of the blue in 2007 back on track before it peaked in 2011 with mill village raid and then disappeared a couple of years later

    I wonder how you sleep at night, It is only a toy Looks like a great display piece, however with only 2 minifigures and a small animal it's not cheap if it cost $60. Seems like the HP team like to make versions of Polly Pocket that probably are popular among girls? I see someone say the purple is a new color..
  21. Roebuck
    You never know, depends on if they have some mould budget to spend. However more likely in a wave of farm sets probably.. The otter has leaked so then that is confirmed as well, trans light satin or something like that, not the same color as the original it seems..
  22. Roebuck
    Yes, but there is a rather big size difference between male and female for red deer. However I dream of a roe deer mould with 3-5 different antlers we can swap and the sexes are basically the same size.. If I was crazy rich I would made a deal with Lego so I could pay for the mould and include it in a Castle farm set or similar That is right, will be interesting to get news for the summer wave now In January we still got the City tractor set that might give us something new
  23. Roebuck
    It seems like most animals that have not been used anywhere else from this licence is because no other set have had use for them yet. Especially a patonus is a patronus in those colours, in normal colours it's just an animal. So probably only a matter of time before another set have use for them. However a bigger animal like a doe could maybe fit in a City set or maybe a Castle set, but do not have the same use as the stag that they pretend is a reindeer. So would probably need a designer that sees that they can get a new animal for cheap an include it, smaller animals would be easier to fit in.. After all HP is one of the themes that has given us most animals over time
  24. Roebuck
    If they stop making the classic Icons sets we must rely on a low budget GWP here and there, CMF and Creator 3 in 1 (at least the latter have got a increased budget for figs and animals lately).. I do not have much hope for a normal wave of Castle or Pirates sets over 10 years since the last one (with a proper wave budget we could get a lot of figs and animals)
  25. Roebuck
    From the description it seems not all the HP sets have a animal patronus in them, looks like we get wolf, cat and hare (otter?) this round. Surely that could not be everything so I assume they well give us more interesting animals in the summer, hopefully a doe or something else that is new..
