Interestingly enough, I think this is the first time in an advent calendar where we actually have a proper number of weapons for outfitting the figures.

This is the first year I ended up picking up the advent calendar at a mark up instead of a discount. I couldn't break up a streak though, so I had to get it.

Please consider me for an entry into the raffle. I'm down in Pennsylvania, specifically Pittsburgh, which is a mere 6.5 hours from NYC by either bus or train (the easiest ways to actually get into the city) I am a complete and total pop culture geek, especially in terms of Marvel. In my day to day life, I work as a historian and writer, so I can assure you of solid coverage for the event. A few examples of my work can be found on my blog, but one post that is especially on topic for this is http://notourist.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-marvel-tarantino-connection.html in which I put forward a case that the Tarantino universe bookends directly into the MCU. In addition, I helped bring LEGO into the art world by curating an exhibit at the Future Tenant Gallery last year. Finally, I am used to travelling for a variety of reasons, most of them business, and as a result of some family issues, I have had to put my career and travels on hold. Working with Eurobricks would allow me to transition back to that world.

Given how horribly awry the Comicon exclusives went last year, I have a (bad?) feeling we might end up going without from now on.

My Iron Legion is now complete! The minifigs have arrived on the East Coast

I just redeemed my Toys R Us points from December for the Dol Gulur Ambush. I will never figure out TRU's pricing policy.

Hello CopMike, I just wanted to drop you a note. Since the raffle, my father has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. I've been spending most of my time taking care of him, and with money being tight, I haven't had much money for LEGO. I just helps keep my mind of the troubles. Thank you again.

When you play the Game of Thrones, you win...or you die. You have won.

Christmas was good this morning. Mia's Magic Show Forest Ambush (x3) Gold Getaway Stagecoach Escape The Mine Illium (Heroica) 2 Series 11 CMF 5 LEGO Movie CMF Laketown Guard Polybag (x3)

That made my brain hurt a little, but as one of the bonus winners, I really need to thank you for all of that extra effort you put into an already arduous task. A Merry Christmas to you!

Well, I was already planning on a few, (that Imperial Army needs built somehow) but I might have to double up again after reading. Just out of curiosity, does anyone else think the head of the Death Star Gunner might make a good Coulson head for Marvel?

Not Star Wars related, but I managed to convince Alton Brown to sign a Chef minifigure. His reaction: "How the hell do you expect me to sign this?" He then laughed and signed.

Strangely enough, it seems like they don't have the Rescue set. Is that an exclusive for Target or Walmart?

Very impressive. Is that Dr. Strange I see there in the middle?

After seeing the new figures, I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Hydra goon, but I can definitely get behind Red Skull.
