CITY Advent: Day 1
Child and Snowballs
Once again, LEGO has gone with the "CITY" theme for the mass release Advent Calendar. It's safe, it's free from those troubling licensing issues, and it's a proven seller. The problem it that it's usually pretty darn boring, and the toys don't have a lot do to with any sort of Holiday Celebration.
2009's set, however, opens up with a bit of hope for the season. As usual, the first door reveals a mini-figure...but instead of the usual Police Officer or Fireman, we get a child and snowballs.
A winter theme. Amazing.
There might be hope for this year yet.
As to the figure itself, he's made of pretty standard LEGO parts. In past years we've seen a few rare colors and scarce parts work their way into the calendar. We'll just have to wait and see if our luck holds in that area as well.

just look at the back of the box to see the next three days
@anon: If folks want to peek, there are plenty of full-calendar reveals out on the net that a quick google will locate.
I'm trying to keep the countdown spoiler free for the purists.
chris:
sorry
I like the spoilerfree style lol
I like how both callenders have a sort of "playground to set up the people. however you can kind of guess roughl what your getting 'cause of it. I was happy when i opened this door. It reminded me we r in the holidays. And up here in connecticut its weird not to have snow by now. (well atleast the part i live in)
It's Pepper!
First a kid, next.... Maybe a snow fort!
Can't give me spoilers. I opened up mine months ago. =P
