| So...is it true that TLG has pulled this set to change it (that's why it
was out of stock for so long) because the, well, tiger's 'butt part'
is now considered offensive?

Anyone else have any info?

My son bought this set for himself as an early birthday present. After he built
it, he came running to me to show me the tiger's rear. Him and I were both
quite astonished to see the accuracy depicted on it, and we had a really good
laugh about it. In the end (ha ha!), my son decided to remove the anus because
he didn't like seeing it.

| Interesting!
I bought it the day it came out and was lucky enough it was still in stock...but
I rarely build any of the sets, just collect them.
Do you know if there is any truth to the fact the newer sets will NOT include
that part? I think that is what the eBay seller is trying to convey to justify
the overinflated price request.
Thanks,
LM

I have not heard anything in regards to that. I would actually be even more surprised
than seeing the anus to see LEGO redesign a set just for having an anus.

I imagine it is a complete lie made up by someone on the internet. There are
multiple flowers in the set, used as blossoms in the alternative builds.

Well the online instructions still show the pink flower being used to create
the tigers anus, so this info is probably internet scuttlebutt (pun intended).
Also seriously this is the level of "Offence" we have now got to some people
really need to get out more.

What?
It’s hard to feature that such an anatomical detail would outrage/concern anyone,
certainly not enough for TLG consider absorbing the cost of pulling a globally
distributed product. But, who knows... I don't anymore.
Maybe it’s the relative size and color of the part chosen? It does look like
the anus is inflamed or chafed
Silliness

| The set in question is currently available to buy on the UK Shop @ Home site
so it clearly hasn't been pulled.
