I wish the admiral/governor minifig would have been in it (instead of the very overused skeleton), but otherwise nice minifig selection.

Woah! Pics of the advent calendars already?? :pir-oh3: Cool!
It's very nice to see that it will be Pirates themed this year! :pir-sweet: I'm probably gonna get this one because I really want that mermaid and shipwrecked pirate, plus I can't get enough of the new telescope piece! Would have been nice, though, if the governor would have been in this set, and I would have preferred a shark over the swordfish, but oh well.
Let's just hope that it will be available in the US unlike the Castle Calendar last year. :pir-sceptic:

Thanks for the pic! :pir-sweet:
I'm somewhat disappointed with this advent calender. I had hoped for at least one new minifig (in last years castle AC there were two new). Or that the admiral or the admiral's daughter were in. Now there is only the mermaid that is a real deal for me :pir-hmpf_bad:
Ah well, I will probably buy it anyway :pir_laugh2:

I hope it will be very cheap! :pir-blush:

It looks like the swordfish is in the same style as the new shark!

Looks awesome. From what I can see, this calendar includes:
1x Pirate Captain
1x Pirate Steerman
1x Pirate Wench
1x Mermaid
1x Admiral
1x Soldier
1x Shipwrecked Pirate
1x Skeleton
1x Monkey
1x Swordfish <- This looks drawn!

All of the above are good reasons to get it, IMO. But then again, I'm not a pirates-collector - I reckon most people already have most of these figures already.

I'm a wee bit disappointed really. Maybe the bits that come with the figs will make up for it.

The swordfish is the only thing about this that gets my interest. I hope it's the old style shark body. I would love to see the two types co-exist. Not every shark needs to be gigantic. :shark:

This could be a nice thing to have at the event time. But I'm a little dissappointed since there are not much details in it. The Castle event set had lots of useful and rare accessoires.

This should be a fun thing to have. :pir-classic: While I agree that I would have been nice to get a new minifig, we can't totally rule out getting one. The picture did still say prelim. Even without a new minifig, I always am happy to get some more pirate pieces, and also a soldier or 2.

Blackmoor, how do you know what accessories will be in it? All we can really see are the minifigs. :pir-wink:

Well, I see some gems, weapons and a spyglass.
The Castle event calendar had a complete turkey, furniture, fruits, fishies and cool minifigs.
Gems and weapons are quite common items. The items in the Castle calendar were quite rare since they are only in the Market Village.
