KINGDOMS Day 14 - Whoso Pulleth out this LEGO Sword of this LEGO Stone and Anvil is Rightwise LEGO King, Born of Legoland

I know it isn't right to go peeping into people's houses... but there is LEGO waiting!

Why! It's the Sword in the Stone! 

..Er, too many swords for one stone!

Tada! The sword that will determine the next King of Legoland!

Ooh, looks like the good knight has decided to take a stab at it!

He approaches the sword, ready to test his destiny!

PULL WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!

Exhausted, the knight is unsuccessful in removing the sword.

What does the sword in the stone have to do with Christmas?  Well, one legend has it that King Arthur himself removed the sword from the stone on Christmas day!

The set goes on!

CITY Day 14 - Mother's Been Loafing

The two week mark arrives!

Mother arrives, with baguette in hand

Oooh! The LEGO loaf!

She must have been late because she is the bread-winner!

Hurray! Happy family complete!

KINGDOMS Day 13 - Oh Holy Knight

Here we come to day 13 in the LEGO Kingdoms.

Ah, good sir knight! Will you come with me to Gramblelot, and join us at the Round Table?

Another interesting mix of pieces - two sets of hair, three swords... another two headed, three armed monstrosity.

Huzzah! Doesn't he just look positively dashing?

He stands ready, a sentry for good in a snowy town!

CITY Day 13 - LEGO Trucks Putting out an Open Fire

Confounded photo flash getting in the way of the number 13!  Ah well, what is inside?

Oooh! A LEGO toy fire truck!

Once again, scattering the pieces.

Ready to go and save the day!

The original 12 above, and now the first of the new 12 on the display.

KINGDOMS Day 12 - Pork, the LEGO sows all sing! Apples for the newborn pigs.

And what lies in the windows of the tower where the 12 lies?

A pig and an apple!

Look at all of those pieces to buil... wait a minute, what is this, a Kinder Surprise toy!?  Where is the building?

Wow, what a difficult build.

And so, the pig joins the rest of the KINGDOMS Advent Calendar high above, making way for the next dozen days!

CITY Day 12 - What Did You Ax Santa for this Christmas?

Now approaching the halfway mark for LEGO CITY Advent Calendar.

Ah, a hatchet for chopping wood for the fireplace!  And a nice little sled for carrying the wood, too!

Not a sled yet!

There we go!

Time to chop that big piece in two - go, dad, go!

Hurray - successful choppin'!

Time to bring the fire home for the hearth.

Now that we are halfway - we shall line up those sets already completed atop the calendar, and make way for the second half of prizes!

Leftovers Part 2

After 12 days, here is the assortment of leftover extra pieces that I have acquired.  I wonder what they will combine to form at the end of all of this?  Extra hat, hair, crown, discs, wheels, arm, and more!!  EXCITING!
