    You are probably right and I am not looking the gift horse in the mouth as long as we get new animal moulds I am happy no matter what themes that bring them to the party. However I prefer that the animals are not one hit wonders, but come out in different sets so they stay in production for a longer time and increase the total number of animals in sets. Yes it looks like the CMF parts have become more common outside the CMF line the last few years The Ideas GWP sailboat is rumored to come out 1 August, but with a limit of 200 euro! Should include 2 dolphins and a seagull if it stays faithful to the original submission, but we will see soon enough if that is the case..

    Maybe since it is another theme The HP/FB CMF made new moulds that was used in HP/FB sets that came out even before the CMF I believe. However that was within the same theme, maybe now since they are not the Marvel one won't let City steal their thunder by including it there If that is true the juvenile animal moulds sure are of with a bang this year! Would be very surprised if the next normal CMF do not have any new juveniles as well in their ranks

    A nice article in German about the new animals this year (I just let the phone translate it for those that do not read German). I think they forgot the recolored dolphin, but the rest are there in a excellent summary: https://www.stonewars.de/wissenswertes/2021-ist-das-jahr-der-lego-tiere/

    Recommend every reader of this thread to reply to this and name animals as one of your interest: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=FTUGHa1slUGUhupl30Vvqk12_wsCUYpCjSSbBab664hUMldWQldHTFVVRThVQlZURkFWWjdJOFRQOC4u Could not hurt, and maybe we get even more animals in the future ;)

    Learn something new every day Yes so the price will probably drop as times goes

    Did you get that on B&P? I gave up and ordered a flock yesterday from BL since I got them for a decent price

    I do not disagree that it would be a good idea to have crowdfunding for period and then make the number of sets they got orders for. However last time I believe BL packed the sets themselves and just got the parts from Lego to sort and pack, this may be different this time since they own it, if not that would be very time consuming and put a upper limit would make sense. If they were to delay other normal Lego sets so they could make more of these it would mean that they loose a lot of sales from the fact that the normal sets are not on shelf's. 5 or 10 000 is peanuts for them compared to other normal sets. We do not know the sales numbers, but we know that they made 5000 Mr Gold and that was almost impossible to find. Very few AFOLs have it to this day even if some are willing to pay a lot of money for it, because most of them ended up with random kids since they grouped together buy insane amounts of Lego. Other than the castle I do not think any of the other ones would sell much over 10 000 maybe not even that, and the castle would of course sell a lot more as a official Lego set on Ideas than a MOC on BL.

    Yes, I usually keep the pc on all the time, when I do not use it it goes to "sleep", when it "wakes up" again everything is there, if you turn it of completely I probably do not work Maybe you can try on your mobile phone if you have that on 24/7 instead?

    This is just a small side project Lego do for the fans, would not be a very smart business decision to postpone e.g. a police station set that sell many times that number To be fair the first round of BL sets in 2019 made 2500 sets and did not even sell them all, so 5000 now 2 years later should in theory be more than enough. 5 sets per customer was a big mistake, but other than that I think they get to much complaints and they have doubled the number of sets now with only one of each per customer. I had the castle in my shopping basked for several days with the message; back-orders accepted, so I could have ordered it with no problems long after it had sold out

    2 pigs

    Probably no new mould in the horse transporter, but a new colour is possible at least print

    I have not heard it before now, but it would not be crazy that it had a "modular" similar building in the line. DA was that and we could get a DA expansion a lot of us a waiting for or another building like grimmauld place, ministry of magic etc
  14. Roebuck
    If it is true I am looking forward to the horse transport They sure flirt with a farm subtheme in City now, first 60223 Harvester Transport in 2019, then 60287 Tractor this year and maybe a horse transporter next year so hopefully we will get a full wave soon

    I looks like a great polybag and comes with a CFC and the new owl Makes you wonder how they can manage to put the owl in the smallest set, but only in the biggest one of the other sets. I assume it has nothing to do with budget, but with prioritising from the designers then
  16. Roebuck
    All animals are expensive as a rule, but unless they are in small sets or several in a set (so they are easy to get them from parting out sets) they are usually cheaper on B&P than BL. The ideas GWP has leaked! The picture is blurry, but looks like it has keep the dolphins, not so sure about the seagull.. Guess we will have to wait for a better picture, but it potentially has a lot of animals for such a small set
  17. Roebuck
    I have been hoping for that from the beginning, but with one set approved per review I think the chances are slim to none unfortunately I looks like it has kept the dolphins , however not so sure about the seagull I am no bonkles fan, but to be fair saying that that set is a bonkles set the fans have been waiting for is like saying castle fans got what they wanted with nexo knights
  18. Roebuck
    Definitely a clear sign to TLG if they need any more of those, surprised that the other sets are selling so slowly, was sure everything would sell out imidatly
  19. Roebuck
    Is the carrots and tomatoes new in that colour? I do not collect the line, but would have loved a similar City set in a farm wave with some animals in addition to the vegetables Nice to get a surprise set sometimes since most things leaks early these days

    I am from the other side of the world so maybe this will not work down there 1. Keep a tab open with your B&P order, every day do a search for every part you want. The ones that are available that day you ad to your basket, the ones that are not try the next day. After some time when you have enough parts in the basket check out and buy the parts. 2.Then not long after call in and try to ad the missing parts to your order.

    Great loot shot of the animals The ray really looks nothing like a normal fish, ninjago is such a waste of potential when it comes to useful animal moulds, first the monkey and now this Not for long apparently
  22. Roebuck
    Pleased because they save money not need to buy the set or pleased because the sets include some unique ones they want
  23. Roebuck
    Looking forward to see your take on it
  24. Roebuck
    Maybe that is why they try to charge you since you did not pay for half the orderers you received :

    I have the parts and plan to upgrade the basilisk, but have not the set yet with head and tail, however somebody else do: Lego like to use only a few moulded parts for the big creatures in HP, but I think this looks better and more like the one in the movie. To be fair it is only normal bricks used here also except the head The one in the set looks good, but closer to the one in the old COS set than the movie I think
