Despite the fact that there have been about a million (okay, two million) leaks of the upcoming LEGO 2015 sets and their images, there are still some surprises to be had! Such is the case this week, as several of the up-until-now unrevealed LEGO Creator sets made a grand debut, arriving at retail stores before images of the sets even had a chance to turn up online! First up, we’ll take a look at my favorite LEGO Creator 2015 set: LEGO Rainforest Animals 31031!

Due to the fact that it’s a non-licensed theme that often doesn’t include minifigures, many of the LEGO Creator theme sets tend to be tragically underrated in LEGO fandom. The 2014 LEGO Creator Forest Animals set was one of my favorite sets that I found before the holidays last fall, and I really wasn’t sure that LEGO was going to be able to top that adorable duo of the LEGO Monkey and Toucan.

If you’re a big fan of rainforest creature like I am, however, the new LEGO 31031 Rainforest Animals set definitely gives the Forest Animals set a run for its money! The set contains a LEGO Parrot, a LEGO Frog, and a LEGO Fly (which the frog seems to be taking a less-than-innocent interest in).

As is tradition with these LEGO Creator animals sets, there are alternate builds for both the LEGO animals in this set. The frog can be rebuilt as a LEGO chameleon, which should be a very popular alt-build for fans of Disney’s Tangled (if anyone remembers that, now that Frozen made it old news).

For whatever reason, I’ve always had an affinity for chameleons, even though they’re not very cuddly, so I think this is going to be my preferred build over the LEGO frog (no offensive, amphibian-lovers). The frog/chameleon can also be transformed into a LEGO Tropical Fish, but the fish is rather scary-looking, so I don’t know that many people are going to opt for that iteration of this build.

Meanwhile, the parrot can be rebuilt into a LEGO peacock! I don’t think I’ve ever found a peacock to be particularly appealing before, but this one is rather sweet, isn’t it?

With so many options, some folks are probably going to want to pick up two copies of this set–and with the great price LEGO has set for LEGO 31031 Rainforest Animals, that’s actually a feasible option! At 215 pieces for $14.99, this set is a great value with a price of less than 7 cents per piece! Now there’s a LEGO deal we don’t see very often!

The LEGO Rainforest Animals 31031 set has now started to arrive at some Toys R Us stores, and is expected to ship to the LEGO Stores in November 2014 as well. Because this set is arriving ahead of schedule and is technically part of the LEGO 2015 Creator sets wave, quantities will be limited–be sure to stake out your local Toys R Us store and LEGO Stores this month if you want to make sure you get your own LEGO Parrot and Frog this year!

Are you impressed with the adorable animals that make up LEGO 31031, LEGO fans? Is there a rainforest-themed wing in your home where you’ll be making these cute little critters comfortable?
