It's lightsabres If it's old grey, then this has gotten "lost" somewhere between the factory and the chroming company. I've bought myself a few of those already. So my guess is that you've bought this from someone who've worked at the chroming company that did the chroming for TLG at some point. The sabres aren't detached from the plastic frame until after the chroming process has been completed. Let me guess - you've bought them on qxl? Right?

I just learned today that the Advent Calendar will be 249,- Danish Crownes, which usually means around 24.99 USD. Usually, not every time though... One thing's for sure, it'll be pricier than the regular advent calendars. That's license for you.

Mkay, I've previously reviewed some of BrickTW's parts and since then BrickTW has released new parts in their shop. I ordered some and a while after a neat polybag of custom parts arrived. Love the card This batch of BrickTW parts included plenty of neck-wear stuff and a skirt. As you can see from this quick overview of the included parts, they look pretty good and certainly adds variety to your evergrowing Asian / Chinese armies. The weapons is a little spare in this round - but we did get plenty of those in the last batch. I really like the arrows A closer view on those 6 new types of arrows. From left to right - Exsanguinate Arrow, Iron Case Arrow, Cross Arrow, Flame Arrow, Tore Tooth Arrow & Month Hook Arrow. Hair Pieces: With the order I also got some hair pieces. First up for a little photo session with our ever happy Mexican is: Qin General Hair: What general would want to be without this? Female Hair: As good designed as it may be, it's a little off compared to the design of regular LEGO hairs and I think it might "stick out" too much in a crowd. But since I've got no pics of this hair side by side with regular hairs, then I have nothing to back up that comment. It's still good and mold-wise it's damn near close to perfect. General Hair: Another general's hair. Though I have no idea why this should be solely for generals - but that goes for all the hair pieces. I think they'd all be usable for both civilian and military figs. Intellectual Hair: Apparently you have to be an intellectual to get a hair style like this? Civilian Hair: The civilian hair looks more like a hat to me. Some kind of medieval hat...? End of headgears and on to neck-wear and skirt. Female skirt: Now this is one great body wear part. A skirt - finally we get one that's plastic instead of cloth (sorry Hula-Girl, but yours suck). Female Clothing: A great torso part. Get this in a variety of colours and your female figs are much more female than before Only bother is that skin and clothes are same colour. And here's our Mexican once more. All dressed up for fun. I wonder what kind of party he's going to? Female Civilian Clothing: Same as the other civilian clothing part. Adds variety and more femaleness to your figs. Bamboo Raft Battlegear: Now this is awesome. A kick-megablocks battledress made from bamboo. I see plenty of uses for this one and not solely confined to Asian MOCs. It'll fit almost any kind of army in any Fantasy setting. Terra Cotta Warrior: Terra Cotra Armor may be the name, but I instantly think of scale-mails and padded leather armors. Great piece, plenty of uses. Three Kingdoms Soldier: Looks a lot like the bamboo raft armor. Again great design and very useful. Zhu Bajie a.k.a Fat Man: I have no idea what Zhu Bajie means, but to me this is a fat man's look. Sumo wrestler anyone? End of Part 1 Claw: What's not to like about this amazing ninja-like weapon? I'd love this in black on a bunch of ninjas Spear: The plastic and design has a nice "feel" to it. The attachable spear point is an awesome addition. It can be attached to plenty of stuff like bars and such. I see many possibilities in use for that one. Shield: So many poses available due to that great handle attachment by BrickTW. Arrows: So many great ones. Now all I need is a zillion to go with my elven bows from Brickarms or whereever I got them a long time ago

Not in 2011

Sorry my bad I thought it was mostly the US that had a thing for the 25th of December.

I beg your pardon? The LEGO Advent calendars have always been 24 days of opening. Most of the world celebrates Christmas on the 24th of December. I always feel sorry for you Americans having to wait a full night before opening your presents.

Kick Fist rhymes with Kit who? Now you figure it out - wiseguy

Yeah Happy Birthday Mr Fangs. Spend it well and make sure to turn of the computer, lean back and enjoy it all.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! How could I miss this one? What the heck is wrong with me these days?!"#!11! You were just here and I missed saying Happy B-day. Dammit.
