City '09?

Recommended Posts

Thank you very much for the pics, links and the information, TheCobra! :classic:

Someone does already show some pictures of the contents of the Pirates Advent Calendar on BS - so I suppose that it won't take long til we'll get a review or at least pics of all contents of the City Advent Calendar, too.

Isn't the price even more than last year's advent calendar?! :sadnew: But on the other hand it includes seven great minifigures and one police man and perhaps some nice accesory. :thumbup:

Yes it is. 2008 price (for Italy and most of Europe) was 17 Euros, now 20.

I read it and I now think that the 2009's is the worst Advent Calendar since they have been including figures.

Edit: just to remember how the previous AC looked like:

2005 - 2006 - 2007 - 2008

SPOILER!!!

Already a review of the 2009 City Advent Calendar on BS by rogueyoda! :cry_happy:

Thank you very much for this link, BlueBard! :classic:

Do you mean that seriously, The Cobra?!

Imo the 2009 advent calendar is one of the best advent calendars ever! :thumbup:

Only the public worker with his car doesn't look that good, the street light looks a bit awry and too thin, the police man with the barrier is useless, the snowman looks as if someone ran a brush into him since he or she didn't like him anymore, the Christmas tree should include more yellow globes as decoration and a female minifis is missing.

But otherwise it's great: you get a mailman with bag and quadbike, a waiter, a boy with nice RC cars, two ice skaters, a lumberjack with great accessory, a Santa Claus with a lovely chimney and a gift, two small market stands, a traffic light and an awesome designed fountain.

I even like that it is more winter orientated.

In my opinion it's true it's not the best Advent Calendar we have seen these last years and personally I was waiting something much better than already seen MFs and elements and no woman MF at all! :sad: But in the other hand it's also true it brings nice elements for winter MOCs (perfect additions to the Winter Toy Shop!) and a little collection of City MFs if you don't have many :wink:

Anyway I don't think I'll buy it this year. First because of the price (I payed 16€ for 2008's one and I find the 30€ of this year a bit abusive :wacko:) and second because of the machiavellian impossibility of buying it in Spain in a physical toy store (I know I could purchase it in SAH but this is my way to protest against the lack of products and new series in South Europe's countries :hmpf_bad:)

Nevertheless if it's going to be your first Advent Calendar I would recommend you people to buy it. Those calendars are a nice AFOL experience :thumbup:

Actually, in 2009 it's 20 Euros and 30 USD.

As for best and worst, I'm planning to start a separate topic to talk about it.

A question to the fountain included in the advent calendar:

Do you think that this shall be frozen water on the fountain or regular water?
