Piranha Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 I was wonderingWhat is in it? Since usually you build something up over the Holiday. But this shows a castle and the Evil and Good? Your not gonna get the castle. And theres 24 Days and only 9 Minifigs? Cant be opening 1 Fig each day. Nice Point Here *y* In the city calenders there was 2 or 3 items, then the Minifig and the 2 and 3 items were related to the fig(like fire hydrant for a Fireman) That must mean each fig, before will have 2 or 3 items related!! I'm hoping for a market stand for the Maiden! Maybe a little performing platform for the jester! The dwarf needs some rocks with crystals!! The Orc should have some lame FF thing (:-|) September isn't that long off, Reminds me of last January when we had Pics of the HB and RC and had to wait till September :-D Wait On! P Quote
Tohst Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 I was wonderingWhat is in it? Since usually you build something up over the Holiday. But this shows a castle and the Evil and Good? Your not gonna get the castle. And theres 24 Days and only 9 Minifigs? Cant be opening 1 Fig each day. My guesses? Much like the town one, each fig will get some sort of little accessory. Such as: Peasant woman: Stove for one day, wash basin for another Castle Guard: Little weapon stand and, ummm, wow. you're right. This is hard. Umm, a chicken Dwarf: Anvil and little table to eat turkey leg off of Witch: Magic Mirror and potion cauldron Black Skeleton: Catapault and a chicken White Skeleton: Catapault and a chicken Knight: Chicken Catapault! Jester: Box of produce to throw at him when his jokes are bad and....umm, a rack for when his jokes are really bad. -Tohst FACT - Chickens are the best accessory for any occasion Quote
casewindu Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 The jesters hat will probably be used as harly quinns hat in the up comming batman sets, she is in them right? I really like this calander especially the jester, what an ingenious idea! the maiden is great too, good that that hair and turn-around-scared head are in a cheaper set! :-) This is a great step forward in crimbo callanders! X-D Quote
phoinix Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 this has to be THE BEST advent calendar of all time! amazing minifigs and when we have a "best minifig of 2008" poll that jester will fight that lady for it!! i just love this one! *wub* Quote
Lt. Veers Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Hinckley just posted this imageimage removed All I can say is *wub* *wub* *wub* Citizen Lady!!Dwarf!Troll!!Jester!!!! :'-) That has to be the super special item at the end of the year! Thanks sooo much Hinckley!This is great news! P All I can say is: Cel-a-brate good times, c'mon! Quote
Dadster Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks Hinckley! A jester! *wub* I will need a whole army of them! I just saw this and can't wait!!!!!!! And that Jester bodes well for a possible Harley Quinn minifig for Batman sets... Man - so glad I found this site. Great news and pics!!! Quote
salty tbone Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Would it be greedy to hope that the awesome new figures in the advent calendar will be in a real set that is the special AFOL-geared set alluded to so often? Because that's what I'm hoping. :-) Quote
iamded Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 What? If you're referring to the special end-of-year set, then I'm pretty sure this is it. After all, advent calendars are released near the end of the year. ~Peace Quote
zz-80 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Wow, great news!! This is so awesome! I'm so getting this calender... hmm the day has 24 hours, so... ;-) 19,99 Euro is very much money for an advent calendar I can't agree on this, as 20 Quote
Brainbox Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Nice to see a selection of Advent Calendars this year. That is, assuming we still get the regular City one. This is pretty nice. What with the dwarf, the troll, the woman and (especially) the jester. That is such a nice hat piece. I assume this picece will be reused for Harley Quinn from Batman. Hmm, so if there we get more than one AC, can I really buy them all? ;-) Quote
Naith Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 is it me or does it look like the dwarf has a print on part of his legs? it looks like the top part just before where the legs split has some sort of pattern Quote

After all, advent calendars are released near the end of the year.~Peace OK. I was just thinking/hoping the lady fig was a hint at a Castle Cafe Corner-esque set (which IMO would be more inline with a AFOL-geared set than an advent calendar). Oh well. Quote
natelite Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 nice!! certainly looks to be the surprise they were talking about. oh well, here's hoping there's another surprise: civilian set. :-P wonder what the 9th MF would be. i counted like 8 on the box. :-P anyone figured them out yet? edit: ack! pardon my eyes... they were wrong. :-P it's exactly 9 on the box. i hope they have more interesting stuff in there though. $25 for 9 figures, makes that $2.80 per figure. kinda steep. :-P better than the pick-a-minifig selection but worse than the "chess" or TTT sets though. :-P Quote
Vader Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Yes a castle advent calendar! |-/ *wacko* Thanks for join in with the conversation :-| So i wonder how many mocs will include the jester, being taken to the cells for not being funny X-D Quote
highlandcattle Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I do not tend to leave the city forum much, but this is an occasion to do so! These will probably be released as impulse sets aswell, don't you think? Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Wow, great news!! This is so awesome! I'm so getting this calender... hmm the day has 24 hours, so... ;-)I can't agree on this, as 20 Quote
blueandwhite Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 nice!! certainly looks to be the surprise they were talking about. oh well, here's hoping there's another surprise: civilian set. :-P wonder what the 9th MF would be. i counted like 8 on the box. :-P anyone figured them out yet? edit: ack! pardon my eyes... they were wrong. :-P it's exactly 9 on the box. i hope they have more interesting stuff in there though. $25 for 9 figures, makes that $2.80 per figure. kinda steep. :-P better than the pick-a-minifig selection but worse than the "chess" or TTT sets though. :-P That kind of depends on where you're from. For most people $2.80 would be considered an absolute bargain. Still, one can't quiblle about price when there is a Jester and peasant woman to be had! Quote
hollisbrick Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Look what's on S@H! =D Sorry if this was already mentioned! -Ikk i noticed that the other day to, thanks for the info. woah look at all these pics! i did a *yoda* go away for 2 weeks and all the pics decide to show up! they look absolutely great 2008 is going to be a great year! *y* Quote
Dadster Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Closeup of the jester:removed I'm a teensy bit bummed after seeing the close-up (Thanks though!!). The Jester has a crown insignia on its torso... I wish the insignia wasn't there. Oh well, still an awesome looking group thus far. Quote
Piranha Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 citizen woman with brush:market stand with little blue-white or red-white roof and a barrel or box with apples and/or croissants Nice idea! I hope it does come with that, it would be a great little set! Since each fig will probably have two sets related to it I also hope there is a well with bucket! 8- Quote
VBBN Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) 2 words: Jester Impulse. Edited January 8, 2008 by ~VBBN~ Quote

Archdoom Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) I want that calendar. Shame I have never seen any lego advent calendars for sale in Australia. Maybe I'll have to get my s@h christmas stuff early. I have been trying to get a few peasants, so to see a farmer girl is very pleasing. Hopefully there will be some peasant buildings or stuff in it too. The jester is nice, and I like the suggestion of a guitar by Klaus-Dieter although a lute would be really useful, for bards and stuff. Nice to see another dwarf, and yeah, those legs look printed. Dunno about the witch, but it is an ok addition. I don't think we need the black skeleton, though, I know I don't, after getting the castle chess set. Another dwarf, peasant, or some other villager-person would be a nice replacement. And I'm betting that this IS the special item. Edited January 8, 2008 by Archdoom Quote
Vader Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 The Troll Assault Wagon 7038 is now available to order throughout europe on S@H, not sure if anyone has pointed that out yet. Quote
