It *does* have the pink pig, but, bizarrely, it’s still not showing up on B&P because they’ve decided to make it ‘not available’, presumably still using the argument that it appears in a licensed set ( Harry Potter). Same is true of the brown owl. 

*sighs* Oh great. I just want to pick that pg up and pair it up with CMF’s Farmer pig. Odd enough, I see so many frogs in Fun and Funky…

Yeah they are being very picky with the pigs. I had to relent and get some from Bricklink ...

I got crocodile and a maned lion figures recently. Woohoo.

I gotta say - a crocodile figure is pretty cool but I have nothing to say more about it. It’s just cool. 

And a kind of bests finally arrived at my doorstep. It’s always my favorite animal. This lion is really cool to see - it finally has its mane. I love the mane’s texture. However, it’s a very little disappointment that the lion’s head has a limited movement due to the mane. But I have no problme with it. I just need a male man so I finally can build a pride for Lego photography and my collection!

now I’m waiting for monkeys, adult and baby elephants, sheep. :)

Just a little heads up: the white lion and baby elephant have returned to B&P.

According to customer service the sheep and eagle should return as well in the next 24 hours. Sidenote: they usually update the catalogue around 9:00 AM, Danish time (CEST).

The elephant body and head might come back, but not until the 3rd week of July: there seems to be a problem in the system (which is why they are listed PRICE 0.00), so it's not sure if they'll actually be back.

My elephant trunks & tusks have just arrived, and the babies are on order, so I guess I can soon create a MOD of elephants 'under water', keeping their babies above the surface with only trunks and tusks sticking out 😂

I have now received all of my animals orders. I hope lego keeps on making great animal moulds like these in the future.

Thanks for sharing the news with us!!

I had someone to call in a customer service (due to my deafness), so I placed an order for 3 sheep, both adult and baby elephants.

I sure hope I get everhting to assemble an adult elephant (not a headless elepahnt, talking about a bad poaching joke). 

[PRBricks]

New update: the return of some animals to B&P has been delayed: sheep July 8, Eagle July 5, Elephant body + head pushed back to last week of July (possibly July 28).

I was able to pre-order the sheep, eagle, and the Ninjago stingray. Already received all my lions and the snake :). They can't pre-order the elephant parts yet; this CS rep said it was because the part re-release is probably too far away to do so; a different rep said it might not become available (online) at all. Who knows!

So, I haven’t seen the Loki episode, but the chat on the Marvel thread implies that the ‘baby crocodile’ coming in the CMF won’t just be a generic one, but will be specific to the show - and therefore not that useful to those of us wanting a ‘normal’ animal.

I never watched any Marvel/Disney+ tv shows either. 

But I have been wondering about that baby “crocodile” mold until your comment suggest it won’t be a genetic/normal one. 

Now I start to lose my interest in Marvel CMF… :(

It could still potentially be a regular baby croc with a link hole to connect the Loki horns, but one single piece with the horns attached does seem a bit more likely because it'd be just one new piece instead of two.

But if they make 2 separate molds, they can reuse the baby croc in a City set or a regular CMF

 

I dont watch the show, so I don't know how it looks like. But it sounds to me like a single mold all together is more likely

Indeed, but since I believe it's rumoured to come with a figure who would also have a new hairpiece, that'd be three new moulds in one bag.

Road Runner from the Looney Tunes had 3 new molds

So did the S5 Boxer and the S15 Faun

EDIT: Yeah, that looks it will be a single piece molded all together

Thanks for the link!

Hahaha they are friends with the crocs and the lions don’t worry:)

New Harry Potter poly bag featuring Hermione and the new barn owl has surfaced - might be an easier way to get the new owl.

Wow, they look fantastic.
I am wondering how much you spent?
The prices are good compared to BL?

Thanks. The prices are ok I guess. I spent around 500$-600$ for all of these.

All animals are expensive as a rule, but unless they are in small sets or several in a set (so they are easy to get them from parting out sets) they are usually cheaper on B&P than BL.

The ideas GWP has leaked! The picture is blurry, but looks like it has keep the dolphins, not so sure about the seagull.. Guess we will have to wait for a better picture, but it potentially has a lot of animals for such a small set

Thanks, it seems fair, I suppose it will not take that long to see a massive zoo display, or african savanna or hannibal battle.
Lego did knock it out of the park.

Ok thanks for the answer, as I am in Guatemala dont have the alternative of using B&P, but wanted to know the difference anyways.

Sorry, I can't post a picture apparently.

I just took another look at a list of City sets that would be released 2022. 

If that list is true, I will like to give a piece of my mind - It seems to me there would be a low chance for new animal molds, Unless - Horse Transporter would have a newly molded foal (baby horse). I don’t see a reason Lego should a new mold for adult horse. And I think pigeons may make an appearance in either Hospital or School (just my precision). I wonder what kind park the Park set would be…

Honestly, I wish City would have Farming subtheme or Forest (similar to Freinds’ new Forest subtheme).

Probably no new mould in the horse transporter, but a new colour is possible at least print

Agreed. It’s more potential for new colors, no doubt.

Also, i was hoping we would see minifigure-style raccoon since Friends has one this year.

I think if LEGO does a farm subtheme it would be summer, seems to be the case now that most city summer will be the outdoors/explorer type themes, and winter focuses on the roadplate/my-town sets.

Tractor was winter 2021, but so was Safari Jeep 2020.
