KINGDOMS Day 6 - The Gift is in the Mail

Day 6 in the Kingdoms brings us to the 25% mark.

And it looks like we get an armour rack to go with the weapon rack from day 3.

As per usual, the pieces are spilled out.

And now the armour stand is complete!

What a busy blacksmith I have, making all of these useful items - maybe he should don them one day and go up against flail man... ah, if only it weren't Monday morning, I probably would have had the energy to set up that shot.

And here we are after day 6 in the Kingdoms, and just like the City calendar, it is all starting to come together.

The teapot is still jealous.

CITY Day 6 - Have yourself a merry little kitty miss

Wow - now on Day 6 of the city advent calendar.  Christmas time is surely whizzing on by, speeding past like a fire truck! (see inset picture for day 6...)

Ooh! Another LEGO minifig, this time a girl with a little white cat.

Severed LEGO body parts strewn across the set.

Ta-da!  She's really come together now.  It is important to note the difference between male and female LEGO minifigs.  Key differences are:

- Hair instead of hats or helmets
- Lips
- Occasional torso piece with sides painted to look curvy (but still essentially the same shaped torso piece)
- Often times more defined eyes as well

This female LEGO minifig has 3 of the 4 hallmarks of female LEGO minifigs.  It probably doesn't have the 'curvy' painted marks because it is supposed to be a child.  Which is really very silly, considering it is a tiny miniature plastic toy.  But then again, I probably am not one to judge on what can be considered silly, seeing as I have been blogging for five days about two different LEGO advent calendars.

Here the set is coming together, 1/4 the way done!

KINGDOMS Day 5 - The Spear-it of Christmas

Day five in the Kingdoms - maybe five golden rings?

Ooh, a spear battlement!

The pieces are revealed!

And just like that - the battlement was built!

Double the spears, double the flails - all of the awesome!

CITY Day 5 - Little Drummer Brick

Now opening: Door Number 5!

Oooh! A drum set! Interesting present combos - drums, skateboard, and swords!

The ceremonial spilling of the pieces.

Drum set completed!

Go kid, go!

Go drum kid, go!

 

Of course, the snow man needs to see some action too!

A boy and all of his toys!

CITY Day 4 UPDATE!

This just in!  A little bit of inter-webz research has indicated to me that the gift on day 4 is actually a toy crane!! Makes much more sense, as I can fully see it now.

KINGDOMS Day 4 - Epic FLAIL!

High atop a snowy hill lies door number 4.

A knight with a flail! Sweet - I am particularly fond of his style of helmet.  Reminds me of the style worn by Sir Bedivere in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

It looks like a LEGO massacre!  But really I just haven't built the guy yet.

Ta-da!  And look, another bonus weapon!  Hooray!  Double flail!

All my KINGDOMS sets nice and lined up... Looking good, guys! Looking goood!

CITY Day 4 - Mysteries blow!

Here comes day number 4!  I'm going to open up... THE MOON!

It's a ... something?  Maybe a snowblower? I think that's what it is supposed to be... maybe it will help me know when I build it...

Still a bunch of pieces, and no more certain what the design is supposed to be...

Fully constructed and... yeah still not sure!  I think that snowblower is the most likely guess, however, I notice at the back underneath what looks like a handle there is a connector piece... maybe it is going to attach to something else?  Or maybe it is just some kind of Danish snowblower design that I am unfamiliar with over here in Canada...

Well, here we are after 4 days!  All the sets together - I have a feeling that this set is going to get crowded shortly!
