Matn Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Nice. I'm convinced that the black suited guy belongs together with the prisoner. The prisoner is standing in a foto studio with that light. And the guy with the camera stands on a big empty spot, so the prisoner belongs there. Guy in black suit = police. Because there isn't any other policeman on the stand. Get it? *sweet* Quote
Holodoc Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Really looking forward to this set !! But 29,99 (and I guess it will be the same in Euro :-| ) is much. For "just" an advent calendar. Well, I will have to pay more for my children this year. :-D Quote
alex54 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 This advent calendar looks better than the 07 one (which I don't buy). I'm glad with it. It looks more civilian and not only police/firefightered, which is great. The small sets are nice, with new ideas (exept for the oven) and there are some interested pieces like ice cream, chiken leg, glass, trans black cones... It will be fun to open two sets per day this year, with the Castle advent calendar :-D ! Quote
Derek Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 They'd make loads more money if they made these calendars mainstream... Then id definately buy one. I was just thinking too, if these are now $30, then the individual mini sets would end up costing more than $1 :-/ Hope Castle is cheaper...... Dp8 Quote

Klaus-Dieter Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Thank you very much for the pics, highlandcattle and sam89! That new City advent calendar is amazing! *wub* TLG did a very good job with this set! I like it to get not - like all the previous years - only fire, police, airport and construction site (even though these themes are of course very nice, too) but more civilian stuff! *y* I like the most the worker with the pallet, the tree with the cat, the snowmobile and the ice cream stand. But is that cart with that white sun umbrella really an ice cream stand - it has only tires in the front? Quote

Cardinal Brick Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 TLG has done us proud, though I know that the the price is a worry for some. I think you get some good little models and some humor like the cat stuck up a tree! Not sure what the UK price is going to be hope it's not to high. Quote

natelite Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 what we are seeing could be that finally TLC decided against keeping us prices artificially low. :-X Quote
Holodoc Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 what we are seeing could be that finally TLC decided against keeping us prices artificially low. :-X That would be finally good news for Europe: US pays 30 bucks, we pay 20 Quote
Jones Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 I missed out on the 2006 calendar, which I thought was way better than 2007's, but I think this one is the best yet! Lots of good details for a town that DON'T duplicate elements in other sets. Instead of yet ANOTHER construction worker or yet ANOTHER firefighter, we actually get THREE places where minifigs can actually get FOOD! Sure it's just ice cream and BBQ and ...? red bread ...?, but it will actually double my minifigs food choices! All they have now are pizza and Mcdonald's and the popcorn vendor! :-D I also think the price is too high ... seems a pretty big jump from last year to this year. Quote
Oky Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) Sure it's just ice cream and BBQ and ...? red bread ...? Hey, wait a minute! I think these are supposed to be CAKE! *sweet* Judging from the red little round pieces its strawberry cake! YUMM! X-D Edited February 23, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
