williejm Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Just now, RichardGoring said: I wonder if they've gone out and found original goats and bought them all, or just created new ones. If new ones, then does it count as a GOAT goat, given that it's a new mould? (I don't care, but I reckon some people in goatland definitely will). The only other possibility is that they have been hoarding OG goats all these years make your own goat hoarding jokes Quote

When designers make a new set they probably need to have access to older parts out of production, sometimes they need one to make a set work, for displays in Lego house etc, promos like this etc..

Plus, i have been waiting for a gay minifigure in hot pink swimming suit pose next to coral-colored flamingo…. However, i think new mold for flamingo would be great since CMF Series 19’s flamingo looks… garden-y? I mean, garden flamingos aren’t a thing to me, but I think the existing one is fine, it’s just the ‘leg/s’ that are an issue, and it’s minimal. Well I finally tracked down some WolfMasters from CMF 27. The wolf 😍😍 OMG … just been comparing it size-wise to other dogs as well as the big cats & bear: it stacks up pretty well. My only small niggle is the printed ‘angry’ eyebrow: hopefully any recolours will give a standard eye to future members of my Lego pack Quote

It might be difficult to desgin. Agreed on the wolf!! Quote

I feel it's a very American thing. I'm from the UK. Never heard of them. Moved to America. Surprisingly common! Quote
Roebuck Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 No wolf mould in the Twilight house just a brick built one.. Quote
RichardGoring Posted January 15 Posted January 15 It looks good though. Better than Fluffy in Harry Potter. Quote

Surprisingly common! Yup! Since Gardender in Series 19 came with flamingo garden, it’s clearly it’s a stereotypical American retired lady in Florida. That being said, that flamingo looks garden-y.

Wolfman_Bricks Posted January 15 Posted January 15 It looks LEGO-y to me, I don't imagine it would change other than color if it was supposed to represent an actual animal. Quote
Roebuck Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 it looks fine to me, if we get a new one maybe coral would de a nice color for it Quote
Lion King Posted January 16 Posted January 16 (edited) I gues I’m in a minority here but it would be weird to see ‘unrealistically smooths” leg on that flamingo - color doesn’t matter to me, honestly. I mean i get that it’s hard to design two thin legs for flamingo to make it look “realistic” like other animals. Edited January 16 by Lion King Quote

I guess you can always place your flamingos strategically behind some verdant foliage to hide its simple leg if you need to … Quote

I am sure toucanand owl have talons molded right out of that studs, I believe. Quote
hikouki Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Has the recent tiger been available at PAB, or is it still too early? I could not find the reindeer as well. Quote

Yes, it's been available. Can't remember if it was bestseller or standard though. If standard, it may be off the list at the moment. Quote

I assume it is still standard in USA since it's not for sale there at the moment Quote

RichardGoring Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Just looked. Both are available in the US as bestsellers. LEGO® Pick a Brick | Official LEGO® Shop US 6477195 and 6310336 Quote

Lol. Quote
karrit Posted January 24 Posted January 24 LEGO is really bad at naming parts. Much easier to just view the animal category. Quote

Whilst browsing the available animals on Pick A Brick & Pieces … I was delighted to see both of the new colours of crocagator available. Except that for one colour you could only order a head and a tail, and for the other you could only order a body and a head … Not even listed as being out of stock. Quote

They were added last year in August/October but went EOL last year - if they are not listed in out of stock it is because they aren´t avaiable anymore - the rest are just leftover parts that are around till they are sold - though not sure how good the chances are for them to sell without the rest of the crocodile Quote
hikouki Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Was the sheep ever a bestseller? Historically, has Lego ever offered recolors in PAB? Quote
