Woof. That’s more than I would hope, but it wouldn’t surprise me. 

It’s because it’s a 4+ set.

Can you please elaborate? I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

Uh, i don’t know how to explain properly…. You may notice some 4+ sets across theems from Lego S&H. They are bit expnsive because of thick brick pieces for younger builders. 

You will see low pieces count vs high price, like Wildlife Rescue sets from City theme. It’s jsut an example I give you. 

However, I may be wrong if Barn and Farm Animals set is 4+.

Edit 1# - I posted wrong link. I will look for a correct link. Edit 2# - I can’t past link here for odd reason…

The odd part of our intel is that the price and piece count seem low, and appropriate to each other, but the description makes it sound like a pretty large build, which would help explain the number of figs and animals. 
 

“60346 Farm with Animals

 

The main build is a farm with includes a small greenhouse with a larger barn next to it with a red roof. A tractor is also included which can easily park inside the barn along with the animals. These animals include a cow with black and white spots, a new calf, a pink pig, a new piglet, a sheep and a new lamb. A family of three Minifigures are also included with two parents and a child.

I’m sure that that’s what the sources are saying. Based on some of the evidence, no, I’m not sure about the price.

Mmmhmm okay. I just quoted your post onto City forum since this has nothing to do with latest animals if we are discussing about prices here - it’s (kinda) off topic.

Honestly can’t see a set with 6 animals (two large, two medium and two small) and three minifigures retailing at £20! I mean, sure, we can hope …

I wonder how they will do the lamb? Given that they went with dual moulding for the sheep, maybe they will use the same for the babies, assuming they have to have a similar colour way? Would also not be surprised to get a recolour of the sheep and just a plain black or white lamb …

That piglet is so adorable!!  I hope a flesh-coloured one also shows up in a future set

Agreed - we need more diversity in livestock

We do! A flesh-coloured variant isn‘t all that likely though, after a quick check on bricklink  The last time a non-spotted flesh-coloured pig appeared in a set was in 2010. The one with black spots hasn‘t appeared since 2014 and the one with brown spots was CMF-exclusive. All the others since have been pink 

Hope the lamb and calf also leak soon 

[BrickBob Studpants]

There’s an additional picture of the piglet with a size comparison  It’s so tiny, you need to be careful as not to inhale it

A new owl print seems to be coming in BAM, according to an IG photo...A tan version of the spread wings mould, with greay chest feathers.

I like that one a lot! And someone will be very happy about this

Welcome new owl versions - but seems they have a haphazard strategy about patterns and recognisable species

That would be a great news!

There’s a photo, so it seems to be legit. Tan body, quite big eyes and bushy black printing around them, all the way down to and including the beak. Brown patch between the eyes, and light grey chest feather print, with brown highlights

 

It’s a very different looking owl print from others we have had, to me at least.

Happy to see the BAM animals are back finally  Nice to get a new flying owl, but I would have preferred if the print was similar to the sitting tan owl

Yeah it’s a bit odd. I don’t really get why they make some so very specific to species (such as the snowy, barn and great grey owls - which are amazingly accurate and recognisable), and some they just seem to make up. If anything, seems like a waste of a specific print - why not just reuse an existing one on a new colour mould? 

I am checking to see if it corresponds to an actual species, but nothing is jumping out.

I think this owl is a fantasty avian creature to pair up with generic wizard instead of existing speices?

The new moulds look great! So a piglet, calf and lamb?

Also is that a new wool piece for the sheep that can be removed to shear it? If so that is very clever.

Yes
The rabbit (finally), hen and cow are in new colors I believe.

Not only has the set 2 piglets, they added a squirrel (and a butterfly) as well + the new wool piece that make the sheep look even better

The hen house could have included at lest one more hens I think

It's not an animal, but is that CORN I see???
