1. So, any odds on whether or not we see the rat head used in the next numbered CMF series?
2. Is the rat minifig supposed to be holding a cabbage?
3. I see two minifigs that are about to lose their arms. Remember kids, when celebrating holidays with military ordnance…don’t hold it in your hand while waiting for it to “pop”! That’s what your neighbor’s yard is for.
These sets are pretty awesome.
Seeing how there is a demand for them all around the world and not just China, may it could give ideas to Lego… Such as releasing similar sets from many different cultures… Does any Lego representative read this blog?
