Pirate Advent 2009: Day 10
Barrel of Junk
Wait.
This isn't right. This can't be right.
Every three days in a LEGO advent calendar you get a new mini-figure. It's like...tradition. It's nearly a law.
This is day 10. CITY got a Postman. And the Pirates get....this?
A barrel, a pick-axe and a shovel???
Three common LEGO parts. Parts so generic that they can't possibly be called "thematic".
I'm hurt, LEGO. You were doing so well up until now.

I paid $55 for this? That mermaid on the box cover must be spectacular.
@anon: Normally I'd delete and put a "no spoiler" warning...but since the box top has a lot of stuff on it that doesn't actually appear in the calendar....you might be getting your hopes up.
But, yes, for the money today's door is a real low blow.
They needs stuff to bury their treasure with on yesterday's desert island, arrr!
Well...
...at least the shovel is black...
...that's a less common colour...
@Ranger
Thats the only colour i have it in!
Mind you, you're lucky. Mine had the contents of doors 7 and 10 swapped.
@Andy:
Ah, but that means you had a couple of days to get over the disappointment of the barrel- and a cool new Pirate Lass to add to your collection today. It could always have been worse- you could have gotten TWO day 10s and no day 7...
Even worse than last year's city day 3! (Well, I think that was the day and year. It was the one that was just a 1X2 brick, a 2X3 plate, and a cup)
I wouldn't call that Pickaxe common. It's not in that many sets you could find on Lego.com. In fact, I only have 1. Maybe "Mildly Uncommon".
I think that the Pirate Lass was supposed to be discovering treasure, and stuff. :P
Every single Power Miners set so far (save the Magma Zone sets) have had at least 1 pickaxe. Yeah.
