You can see its lack of butthole in the video.

E: now that the precedent has been set, all animals should have buttholes.

E2: I can guarantee that the set will get a butthole mod as soon as it comes out.

The tiger butthole is just a single round pink brick. So if you got the tiger, you probably have an extra butthole laying around to be repurposed for any other animal.

I know a mod asked up to drop the discussion about flesh tones, but I think it's important we discuss this.

What's the ideal color for a Lego tiger butthole?

Magenta?
Medium dark pink?
Bright light pink?
Dark salmon?
Dark red (new)?
Dark red (old)?

I'm assuming tigers have anal glands like housecats do, so I feel pretty confident saying a tiger butthole would smell like dark salmon, for whatever that's worth in people's decision making.

Just did the sunflowers:
Something I don't like about the flowers line is that the leaves on stems are all held on without friction or axles so they spin really freely.

I bought these for a Christmas gift and I want to 3D print a vase for them - can you tell me what the length of the stem is before the petals? I want to scale the vase accordingly.

It's on the box, I'll have to look later but also you can use the parts list: the stems are made of 3L axle connectors, 1L is the width of one brick.

They're still on their way to me (hoping they get here in time for Christmas). The vase is going to take long enough to print I wanted to make sure I got started on it ASAP. I didn't even think to try the parts list. Looks like it's just under 6 inches. Thanks!

The underside of the octopus is covered in buttholes:

I was trying to decide if the octopus is one of those creatures that poops out of his mouth (it doesn't) and ended up watching a video of an anemone eating an octopus poop noodle, so uh thanks Lego thread.

Those are suckers, totally different. The butt hole piece is this one. The decorative flower petals suggest puckering.

The box says they're 24cm from bottom most stem to top most petal. Or 9.4 inches.

New Brick Clicker leaks/pics. Holy hell Lego actually freaking did it.

Blacktron GWP probably on Jan 1st or in January, most likely $125 or $150 threshold.

Threshold seems low for that Blacktron set.

Easy to reach it with the new sets though.

Not really sure why that would be the GWP w/ a modular. There's gotta be something else they will attach that to.

Happy for the blacktron fans out there. Glad to see you get yours.

You could buy the original for less than $50 on bricklink.

It's a cool GWP just for that retro box but not $150 cool.

That set is pretty cool, but Black Tron 1 is slightly ahead of my lego heyday and it doesn't send my nostalgia into over drive.

I can guarantee you will be able to find it on ebay/bricklink as soon as they come out. Unless you mean you want one for free.

It will probably even be reasonably priced on bricklink. I tried selling some old GWP's recently and they certainly don't go for "comfortable retirement" prices even after a few years.

Yeah, they usually go for the LEGO value + a little bit more. So if LEGO says this is a $20 set, then you probably can get it for less than $30.

Unless it is in the US then you have to pay extra cuz of course you do.

That Blacktron GWP might finally push me to ordering the Space Shuttle. That said,

The Shuttle is good.

There's just nothing else on offer at the moment that I'm interested in at a price I'm willing to pay.
