Last year we all had an exciting quiz, as we desperately struggled to figure out what the hell all those stupid little piddly "Star Wars" models were supposed to be.
Didn't help that I'm not actually that much of a Star Wars fan to begin with.

As such, this year I've opted to go with the less baffling "Lego City" range, whereby I should hopefully be able to hazard a guess as to what the hell half of the little bits and pieces are supposed to be.

Join me, as I open each door, and post photos of the contents!
If you have this year's Star Wars calendar (or even the Lego Friends one!!!?), feel free to post a suitably silly companion topic.

I'm sure if I dig into my "spare oddities" box from the Star Wars calendar, I'll find something suitably doughnut-esque!

This was as close as I could find..

LOL.

Just discovered my wife bought a LEGOish (but DEFINITELY NOT LEGO) calendar for my son. He says he's too old for advent calendars, so I'll open it instead.



Oh good. "Lots of models to make" and "Compatible with other leading brands"

Be prepared for the horrors that lurk. the front isn't too promising...



I'm going in - door #1, where are you?



Wow, that door was nailed shut pretty tightly. I think I'll bring a saw next time. However, the anticipation of what's behind door #1 is killing me. What could it be? What could it be?



Fuck all. It's empty. Great start.

I'm sure all the little kiddies will be happy. Not only is it definitely not LEGO, it's also definitely not bloody there. Hmmmm. Maybe with the box being shaken in the bag on the way home the packet will be found behind another door. That'll be worth waiting for. Can I sue under the Trades Description Act? - "Model pieces behind every door"

That's just ruined my Christmas now. As if having a definitely not LEGO set wasn't bad enough.

|edit| For the hundredth time.

My wife persuaded me to find the "Model pieces behind every door" so I did.

And here they are -



Ummm. WOW!!!! I don't think I could have been any more impressed if it had been the back end of the horse.

That's reet nice that is.

Unlike mine.

I got a girl (or a gay guy, I really can't tell) - wearing hair in the style of a crash helmet.



Certainly a case of Number 2 here... But still, possibly better than yesterday's errr thing. But only by a whisker.

Roll on day #3.

At least she looks like a Classic Lego minifig, unlike some other shitty ripoffs I've seen. Not sure about the helmet-hairdo, though!!

The girl's hair actually has a life of it's own. You pop it firmly on her head and it then jumps off and rolls around the floor. Just like real life then.

Where's Ashens Day 2?

My (real) dog has a lump on his back too, so maybe it's quite common?

Anyway, I got wood



Soon to be firewood once all the needles fall off.

Anyway, they're flouting advertising laws again - "Model pieces behind every door" That's "pieces" as in plural. One tree is not pieces.

Awww, no fair!! I want a tree!!

I'll have another one soon - the set promises two. That's something to look forward to...

And today I got something even more awesome.

Remember the old adage that goes "Say it with flowers"

If this is indeed true, today's NOT LEGO extravaganza is saying "ARSE-DAISIES!! I HATE YOU WITH A PASSION!"

This calendar started out bad and the only way it's been going is down.

Can't wait to see what's behind door number 6.

That's ok, the official LEGO one wasn't much better.
I literally got a bucket of crap!
