I assume this board game will have at least one monkey. For fans of the old one that are hoping for a return of that one are probably going to be disappointed at lest the one in the picture looks like the new one..

I wonder if this new game will be branded alongside the reported jungle subtheme. And if the designers will use the game as a chance to produce some new colors for the current monkey mold. I can certainly imagine each player having a different color of monkey that acts as a token or meeple of some sort.

Nice idea, but it would be, I think, so much better if they did different types of monkey for each player. Would they be so bold as to include apes too? So you could use the monkey, chimp, and new gorilla. And then at least more new mould for a different species.

The trick with doing entirely different types would be size differences. The chimp and current monkey aren’t that far off, but I expect the gorilla will be bigger and possibly feature some articulation. That said, we do know for sure that we’re getting a baby gorilla as well…

We don´t even know if any player will even get any ape - I mean sure they could be used as player figures, but we don´t know much about that game yet. Maybe they are just used as deco objects or something. Anyways I would expect the game to be rather expensive, but we will see.

I believe the board game will be revealed at the Nuremberg toy fair that starts today so maybe some pictures will show up during the day

Looks like the hen coming in Friends set 42617 has a new better eye-print, the last one was not the best I think:

Who needs consistency across eye prints? Not Lego animals. 🐊🦈🐓🦞

Who needs consistency of whether you get eye prints or not? Not LEGO crabs/lobsters, fish/sharks and rays, or parrots/all other birds.

I feel like a broken record, but I'd love to get updated crabs, fish, and parrots in a modern style with eye prints.

The first pics of the Snow White Cottage have leaked. As far as I can tell, it includes a grey squirrel, white bunny, blue bird, two white birds, and a plain light yellow butterfly. Nothing new, unless more is revealed by the official photos.

[Roebuck]

It also looks like it has a brown squirrel at least 🐿️

Only 2 days until we most likely see a lot more animals in a set 🐐🥳

[Clone OPatra]

It's Friends style but I love that little capybara piece in the leaked Encanto set alongside the Snow White cottage!

[Roebuck]

I assume it is not, but it looks like a squirrel print on the end of the logs in the Snow White set

Pics of the Maribel set and buildable Stitch came out awhile back because they’re March releases, but I do love that capybara. Rather annoying that it only comes in a $30 DOTS style set so far - hopefully we’ll see it in pick a brick eventually.

Would it though? Won’t it count as a licensed piece and not be available?

Ah, I'd missed that, or if I saw it, I forgot!

How would y'all feel about prehistoric animal battle packs?

[Karalora]

Could be pretty cool if we got more than just the standard dinosaurs and smilodons.

I can agree to that, but if LEGO is gonna include dinos anyway, they should atleast be updated versions of ones we got before

There's an image of the new Mediaeval Market floating around. I see a dark grey goat and that's it for newly coloured animals.

A little bit disappointing given the number of moulds available, even if they were just recolours I would have loved to get another cow/calf/horse/etc.
