This reminded me to add this set to my Brickset collection!

And two days after that, it'll be St. Patrick's Day.

A little late on this one bot

The legs look simultaneously too chunky and too thin, that’s an impressive feat to pull off

The colorblocking is admirable, but I think that at this scale it ended up too messy. Still a nice model for a polybag though

No. Reindeers are not brown.

That's quite a strange looking Easter bunny.

It sold for about three fiddy.

Oh...

I remember Argos clearancing these at £1 each and doing a 3 for 2. I bought loads and kept nine. I made a small change using a red cheese slope on the front one. And they come out every year.

So "good" they re-released it as 40434 only 3 years later...

Pretty sure I got this as a 'freebie' when I ordered a batch of Spiderman Lego from an eBay seller years ago!

Convinced it was a mistake but still thanked them for it!

I never noticed that before! Well spotted!

Only 9 months, 1 week, and 5 days until Christmas! (287 days total)

Better start getting your Christmas shopping in, people!

;-P

I get that you don’t like its legs, but do you really need to pull off its feet?

Why did this close (way too early, I might add) and then reopen?

Indeed, they are quite tasty, though I’ve only had them as sausage. Reindeer, that is. Not people.

D'oh!

Way to change the context of my original comment, lol.

I was serious, though. In 2017, we got off the plane and drove into downtown Anchorage, and there were three street vendors selling reindeer sausages. Then we stopped for breakfast in Talkeetna at a restaurant called Latitude 62, and I got another reindeer sausage with one sourdough hotcake (the starter was over 100 years old).

Ah, okay. Very interesting.

It’s worth noting that, since Kristoff is based on the Sami people, Sven would end up on a dinner plate at some point. And also that it would be rude to ever ask Kristoff how many reindeer he owns. Extra rude in his case, since it’s pretty obvious he’s just got the one. It’s like asking someone how much money they have in their bank account.
