Lol. Was thinking about this when I saw the upcoming Turkey costume figure’s new tail piece … which I think will be reused as a peacock costume some time 

I thought it could be used for Capercaillie instead

Niche perhaps, but YES!

I, for one, think a moose would be awesome... we already have a Squirrel, so why not a Moose? 

side note: can the new squirrel fit an aviator cap on it's head? Asking for a friend...

After Series 23 having literally none, I'd say at least a new animal mould in S24 is a must

City advent pics are out (although not many) - three animals in the calendar, the existing dark grey kitten, the dark orange chicken, and the foal in a new colour. Body is white, and tail/mane appears to be either tan or maybe light yellow @DBlegonerd7

Sweeeeeeet!

My patience with the PAB system gets shorter. I decided to hunt some animals don and catch them in secondary market. Not a big fan of Bricklink myself.

I managed to order one sheep with removable sheep, one calf, a pink pig with piglet, a baby alligator and a panther cub. I wll keep looking for light brown cow, lamb, gray rabbit, wing-spreading owl and hare (both Wildlife Rescue Mission)! I’m just thrilled to add some animals to my animal kingdom.

Given the Bricklink prices at the moment for the new animals, the Wildlife Missions set is a better buy if you get a decent discount. The secondary cost of those *tiny* piglets and lambs is totally obscene. I’m still waiting on a cheaper option for my farmyard beasties, but have managed to score the owls, panthers, hares, and crocagator.

Agreed. And I do want that owl and hare from Wildlife Rescue Mision set. I preer to find a decent price on farm animals. 

Lego, come on! Make your min up with PAB system - there are no new parts (including farm animals)…

Interesting change to the standard cat mould. Up until now the injection mould point was at the base of the tail (giving the cats a defacto butthole). In the new 2022 versions of both ‘Crookshanks’ and ‘Mrs Norris’ from the Harry Potter sets, the injection point is on the top of the head. But ‘Sox’ in the Lightyear sets released this year still has the old mould with butthole.

Maybe it’s just in the wizarding world that cat butts need censored?

Maybe they're gearing up to put a pin connector there, for a flower piece?

I just got baby alligator and panther cub figures. I gotta say - that baby gator is small but more adorable! Panther cub is adorable as well. I kinda wish tht baby gator has yellow eyes, not black ones. But I am ok wiht it tho. 

can’t wait to see calf, sheep with removable wool, and pig and her piglet soon!

Yeah they really went all over the place with the gator eyes, there’s no consistency across the adults or the babies 

[Lion King]

I just got piglet, a “clean” pig, cow calf, and sheep with removable wool piece today. 

All of them are great and adorable! 

I am not sure i this has been discussed about cow and calf. But I think I understand why TLG didn’t go with black and white colors for both cow and calf. It may be becuase calf is very small and it’s more diicult to print it with black spots around. I think a light brown color is a great choice to pair cow with her calf.

Looks like the Ideas lighthouse has a seagull, but those with Instagram have to confirm that

No, but nice that they keep the mould in circulation at least

Eh, i preer seagull to be solid plastic, not rubberish. I don’t kno how to explain - you know seagull mold is little “loose” to sit on a stud?

[lifeinplastic]

Would be nice if there is a seagull without wings outspread for variety but I'm not sure if Ideas sets are given new moulds.

Do we think there is any chance of more farm or safari next year?

So what I think you are trying to say is the Seagull doesn't have very good clutch.
