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

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

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

I feel it's a very American thing. I'm from the UK. Never heard of them. Moved to America. Surprisingly common!

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.
January 15Jan 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.
January 16Jan 16 Author it looks fine to me, if we get a new one maybe coral would de a nice color for it
January 16Jan 16 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 16Jan 16 by Lion King

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

I am sure toucanand owl have talons molded right out of that studs, I believe.
