The Cobra Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Found on amazon.de Now, will there be a giant troll in 7979? Quote
Shoc Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Found on amazon.de[image] Now, will there be a giant troll in 7979? Or even a dragon? Or even a castle? I'm not sure about this picture, it's just a display thingy, it wouldn't show all that's in the Advent Calendar. Edit: Also, I juts noticed the skeleton snow angel. Haha. :skull: Quote
Sandy Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 What a cute picture! I spot one of the trolls carrying a miniature Advent Calendar (omg, a time-space paradox!). But seriously, like Shoc said, you shouldn't expect to find everything in that picture from the calendar (although finding a huge castle inside it would be a great surprise). XD It already says 9 minifigures, there isn't going to be anymore whether you like it or not. Quote

MoWo Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Found on amazon.de Now, will there be a giant troll in 7979? Maybe TLC dont see it as a fig, but as a building thing Quote
Pencoin Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 i doubt were getting Kings castle siege in one of those boxs cool none the less Quote
Fatespuppet Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I've been looking forward to this advent calender since I saw the first pics of it earlier this year. When I found out there was a city one it dashed my hopes cause I didn't recall Lego ever doing more then one calender. I'm definitely getting one of these for that jester figure alone. I love the Harley Quin figure from the Batman set and it will be nice to have one with different colors. I hope some of these will survive long enough to go on clearance next year like the 2007 ones did. Quote
iamded Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I hope some of these will survive long enough to go on clearance next year like the 2007 ones did. I wouldn't be so sure about that. I mean, the City Advent Calendar is cool, but who doesn't want this Castle one? ~Peace Quote
AmperZand Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) I've been looking forward to this advent calender since I saw the first pics of it earlier this year... I'm definitely getting one of these for that jester figure alone. Same here. The combination of the jester, the new witch and the maid make this a 'must have' set. I hope some of these will survive long enough to go on clearance next year like the 2007 ones did. I'm not taking the chance. I'll get one of these when it comes out, maybe more than one for friends. If the set is discounted next year, I may get another for myself. After all, you can't have too many minifigs, right? Now, will there be a giant troll in 7979? The top of the box in this pic seems to show the contents. Doesn't look like there's a giant troll in the set. Like other posters, I'd be very surprised if there were. I think that there won't be any more minifigs in the set than shown in the box art though I do expect accessories that aren't portrayed on the front of the box.

Fatespuppet Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Oh I'm definitely taking no chances on this. I'll put an order in for one as soon as it shows on S@H, but if it goes on clearance next year I'll add a couple more to my ever-expanding collection. So, any ideas what sorts of accessories we can look forward to? I'm thinking barrels, chairs, a table etc; everything you'd need to make a nice dinner scene. Quote

Maybe for the jester there could be some kind of court or something. A throne and/or glittering treasures for the dwarf would be nice too, and a fireplace or something for the witch. :skull: Quote

A throne and/or glittering treasures for the dwarf would be nice too, and a fireplace or something for the witch. I don't think the Jester would get a whole court. Maybe a little dais and a few coloured 1x1 studs to act as juggling balls or something. A chunk of rock with some crystals would be neat for the Dwarf, and a cauldron with a shelf filled with potions and perhaps a book for the witch. Anyway, I guess we just have to wait, though it is fun to speculate. ~Peace Quote

Pencoin Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 you mean 2007? i am a high expecter of this one, yesterday i was going through my brothers wardrobe and found an unopened 2007 city one, i asked where it came from and it was last years but we forgot to get it out and its been in there sicne (i did all mine though). I opened it all up and i realised how good it was, excellent MOC-like builds and such an a absolute ton of rare parts, so im really looking forward to this one now (oh and you were right about santa there was no in there, it was a christmas tree ) Quote
Sandy Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 you mean 2007? No, I really mean this year's calendar. As I said earlier in this topic, it's contents have been revealed, and you can see pictures at the Trains & Town -forum. Quote
Pencoin Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 oh really? bit behind there, thanks ill go check it out now Quote
Shoc Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I don't think the Jester would get a whole court. That's why I said "some kind of court". But with a court we would have to have royalty... The dwarf? :skull: Quote
iamded Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 That's why I said "some kind of court". Ah, touché. Actually I had just found out what dais meant and wanted to use it somewhere, and I saw the opportunity and took it. ~Peace Quote
CloneMe Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Ive never been on this thread before but I was just wondering, what happened to that elf thing. Wasnt there supposed to be elf sets eventually. Anyways, just wondering. Quote
Sandy Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Ive never been on this thread before but I was just wondering, what happened to that elf thing. Wasnt there supposed to be elf sets eventually. Anyways, just wondering. No, the elf-theme is still not confirmed by the Lego Group. There's just been rumors supporting it. But that doesn't mean we should lose hope! Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Isn´t that enough conformation? Besides, I heard that some sets from the 08 line are already aviable in normal tyo stores in Germany. The german Amazon site has listed the sets for the 30th. Maybe, the americans get now a few more orcs with the cool helmet. *with the finger point to the USA and say na-nana-nana-na*^^ Quote
Sandy Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Isn´t that enough conformation? For the last time, it isn't. It's just a promotional picture from a time before even the dwarves and trolls had appeared. Sure, they might have planned an elven faction at that time, but they could've just as easily scrapped it by now. But let's hope that's not the case. My point is, nothing is certain before we read the Lego Group say "Elves in Castle 2009" (with pictures to go with it, preferably). Oh, and all this year's sets have been available in Finnish stores since May, already. I've even seen the Troll Battle Wheel on a shelf, although with a ridiculous price tag of 60 euros or something like that. Edited July 23, 2008 by Sandy Quote
commanderbly42 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I've just started to see this year's Castle sets creep into shops. It's taken them quite a while. Quote
Eldar Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Even though i would be very excited to see an elven faction, I doubt a tiny picture in the corner of a magazine means anything. They could have put a picture of Santa Claus in a sled flying into the castle but it doesn't mean there is going to be Santa Claus in the castle. Sorry but they could just draw anything they wanted to up there to fill space. I still want elves though , just don't believe all you read!! Quote

Sorry but they could just draw anything they wanted to up there to fill space. I still want elves though , just don't believe all you read!! Judging from the fact that it has sets and other such things inside, I think that we can assume that it is real, and also we might see a medieval Santa Claus in the advent calander. Although the analogy seems a little off-topic and farfetched... I doubt TLC would draw something like that if they didn't want to make that faction. Quote
