Is this the first ever PM set to contain "whoopsies"?

Maybe you missed this euphemistically-named part?

(Take a look at the sets in which it is found and you will see only one of them involves ice cream sales)

Are wombat droppings really cuboid? If so, are wombats cross-eyed?

No, the whoopsie of those creepy soulless eyes seems to happen in way too many sets these days.

Yes wombat droppings are cuboid, I think a unique trait.
Chocolate ice cream / dung piles have been around a long time. The cow patty piece is also pretty common in farm and horse sets.

More confectionery options is always good.

Would a giant wombat be called a bricklayer then? ??? Or brickie given it's Australia.

Chocolate ice cream seems like it was originally intended to be ice cream, so technically not purpose-designed. Cow pats I hadn't heard of though :o

We’ll seeing as the design department made the blue garden tools, the pink cart and the pastel/ugly clothing why not just make yellow dung ?

Rainbow bright sets

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Not like the realistic colours of old...





If they could've made squareyellowdung back then it would be a collector's item now.
