You could be right. However, we still have hope for normal baby crocodile mold in future! Quote

williejm Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 It’s also perfect for a Steve Irwin archetype CMF character Quote
Lion King Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Hey American folks! Just a freindly remidner, Wildlife Rescue sets will be available on August 1! Since I already got all animal molds from that subtheme, I will pick up ATV set. It’s just becasue I need more monkeys. :) Quote
Lion King Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Aside Safari Off-Roader set, do we have any reprinted parrot in Wildlife Rescue subtheme (due to my low vision)? Quote

Nope. No new parrots. The ‘modern’ parrot exists in two solid colours (dark blue grey and white), and three dual mould colours (red / green, blue / yellow, coral / teal). They have been variously available on B&P, but at the moment it’s only the blue/yellow one that is purchasable ( design no for parrots - 27062 ) Quote

I had no idea that parrots have dual molds? I gotta buy that blue/yellow one! Quote

The old (printed) ones from the 90s didn't, but LEGO began introducing co-injected/marbled ones in 2009, and began introducing additional color combinations in 2017 when they introduced the updated version of the mold (which also has a more curved beak). It's a cool technique, especially since it colors the front of the bird and not just the sides, but sometimes the colors can look a bit "muddy" where they run together. I'd be interested to see LEGO come up with a further update of the parrot mold that uses the same multi-shot molding technique that LEGO has been using for a lot of recent animal and minifig components. This technique is less "random" than co-injection, and allows specific plastic colors to be used for specific parts of the animal. A good example of a bird mold already using this technique is Pepper the parakeet from LEGO Friends. Pepper is molded in two colors of plastic: Flame Yellowish Orange for her beak, feet, and wingtips; and Bright Reddish Violet for the rest of her feathers. Pepper's mold has also been used with different color combinations and printing for many other birds in the Friends, Elves, and Disney themes, and even the LEGO Ideas Steamboat Willie set! Of course, if LEGO did update the parrot mold, I'd also like them to include printed eyes on the new version, as is increasingly the norm with other LEGO animals (including other birds like ducks, songbirds, and eagles). Compared to other modern LEGO animals, the parrot's recessed eyes make it feel almost more like a statue than a living creature. Quote

Lion King Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 Hey folks in North America! Wildlife Rescue sets are now available for purchase! Quote
fo4saken Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 I truly can't wait for pics reveal. Perhaps, I can consider of buying that 908 pieces Fire Station Headquarters, but that depends how it will look like. Meanwhile, according to 60303 Advent Calendar, I reckon this below could be Fire Station Starter Set. Quote

We do have some information about these sets 77943-Fire Station Starter Set is supposed to be a small scale fire station with a garage, a buggy, a motorcycle, 3 minifigures and a burning electric cabinet 77944-Fire Station Headquarters is supposed to be a 3 level building with two garages, a fire helicopter, afire truck, a fire off roader, minifigures and a dog Some of the information was already revealed by stonewars but I could find some more details Edited August 3, 2021 by Powered by Bricks Quote
fo4saken Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 Yes, I know that. I just said it mimic Fire Station Quote

I just said it mimic Fire Station I have some thoughts about those 2 sets If those sets are combining older sets,77943 maybe a small fire station with that forest fire buggy and that 60281 motorcycle 77944-may have that 60271 helicopter, that 60214 or 60107 fire truck and the 60215 or 60231 off roader I personally believe that those new sets are completely new sets instead of re releases with slight modifications Quote
Powered by Bricks Posted August 4, 2021 Author Posted August 4, 2021 I think I know what these sets could be: New buildings but vehicles from existing sets. Quote
Lion King Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 I just bought Tractor and Road Plate sets, along with Adidas Original Superstar and Winnie the Pooh in order to get Sailboat Adventure (GWP)! Talking about shopper’s impulse…. Anyways, I am pretty ecited about Tractor (despite that it has a plain white rabbit but I’m ok with it!) and Road Plate (I’m just curious how useful it can be).

Lion King Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Happy World Lion Day! Lion is always one of my favorite animals so I wore Gryffindor-themed mask. :) Edited August 10, 2021 by DBlegonerd7 Quote
