BAM has, including animals, but not PAB 4 hours ago, Black Falcon said: 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 Yeah I’d assumed it was that situation. The whole issue of ‘multi part’ animals beings sold in separate parts is just a bit … odd. and yes, I am still traumatised by the elephants and the gorillas on this Quote

But additionally an option to buy complete animals would be nice and I wouldn´t be surprised to see it added in the future. Quote
karrit Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I wish they would just bundle all the parts for a single animal together, It's frustrating trying to get all the parts when they aren't all in stock at the same time and even worse when some of the parts are listed as bestsellers and others as standard. I totally forgot about the pins for the crocodile tails but fortunately I believe I have spares I can pillage. Quote

But in the end when you don´t buy them for kids to play with, you can just leave it without the pin. Quote
lifeinplastic Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I’m not aware of any imminent animal related announcements so thought it would be a good opportunity for a quick opinion poll. 1) What are you three favourite Lego animals to date? 2) Which three animals do you most want to see that don’t already exist? Quote

Second one would probably the mouse mould, since that one looks really great too - but in the end there are so many it is just hard to decide really. 21 minutes ago, lifeinplastic said: 2) Which three animals do you most want to see that don’t already exist? A proper wolf pup, a Zebra, kinda strange they didn´t do that one since it would just be so easy. A fox would also be great. I´ll add a third category: 3) Which animal would you like to return? Ostrich Camel and Leopard. Oh and the mouse, a shame that it was only used once. Quote

Interesting idea! 1) In no particular order : the smowl (ID 3753, all three prints), the falcon, and the wolf 2) Again in no particular order : fox, donkey, and doe Quote

I wish the legs could move as in the old style elephants. I also like the wolf, and tiger. 2) Llama, giraffe, turkey, and of course brachiosaurus. Edited January 28 by hikouki Quote

Ooh nice, thanks for this. Also, this is hard! 1) FAVOURITES the (perched) great grey owl, the black bear, and the wolf … although I have also typed tiger, ostrich, toucan and changed my mind already 🤪 2) NEED beaver, puffin, and moose and I’ll do returns and recolours / prints too 3) COME BACK PLEASE little mouse, camel & toucan 4) RECOLOURED raven in solid black, new tiger recoloured as a snow leopard, and flamingo in the coral it deserves 17 minutes ago, hikouki said: 1) Elephant - because there are points of articulation, as well as customization (tusks).

RichardGoring Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Favourites: printed parrot, kitten, (rubber) duck (and if that doesn't count, then sheep with removable fleece). Wanted: updated parrot, updated crab, pigeon (while I know that having cheap, simple mould animals allows more to be included in more sets, I miss the printed parrot, and the juxtaposition of the crab next to the modern lobster irritates me). Return: mouse, flamingo, camel. Quote

Return: mouse, flamingo, camel. I would like a crab with a printed eye. Give us more lobsters (starting with a recolor). And it is also time to give us some prawns or shrimp! Quote

Amen. FWIW I think the lobster with eyes was a misstep by Lego, rather than the other way around. Am a huge fan of the OG crab, and think they should try and have some consistency somewhere … I know, lol. As if. 2 hours ago, PRBricks said: 3) As for returns: there are so many untapped species, why go back? Whilst I generally agree with this sentiment, the reality is that many animals were very limited in use and only appeared once or twice, often in big sets - that means many people missed out. So I get it. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 29 Posted January 29 My top 3 favourites are the current cat piece, the smowl, and the otter! The runner-ups include the red panda, the mouse (the CMF one), the koala, and the baby seal. What I want the most are raccoons, a new frog piece, and kangaroos. I know, sacrilege! The old frog piece is an absolute classic and should not be discontinued, also to keep the running gag alive But I‘d still like to see a modernised piece with printing, e.g. to allow for poison dart frogs to be made!

FinlayTheFaithful Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Do animal characters from different media count? If so, Froggy from Sonic is one I kinda wanna see Quote
