Today the Castle calendar yielded up a Scrying Orb, while the City calendar provided some sort of interrogation chair for the missing camera-wielding policeman from yesterday’s set:

Advent Calendars, Day 16
I guess yesterday’s model represented the Alchemy profession rather than Cooking, since today’s model appears to represent an alchemy supplies shop:
On the City calendar, we are supposed to get a photographer minifig, but I got a mountain climber:
Dark green legs FTW!
Alert readers will recall that I had a mistake in the Day 2 City calendar as well. I wonder if anyone else is finding these errors?
Advent Calendars, Day 15
No new figs today but more accessories for our previous figs. The warlock now has a cooking fire and cauldron. I guess she’s leveling her cooking skill? I don’t know any recipes that call for snake meat in WoW though.
On the City side, the diver has one of those underwater self propelled units. Probably a good thing because with that life vest he’ll need some help getting down to any depth.
Here we see the figs with their new stuff. The diver had better watch his feet with that propeller so close and unshrouded!
But one thing I noticed just now was that the diver has the same face as the Good Twin and Evil Twin! I guess that means he must be Chaotic Twin. Here’s the family portrait:
Happy Feast of Winter Veil!
Advent Calendars, Day 14
Today the Castle theme gets a new figure – this time it’s a human warlock, casting a shadow bolt spell. She has apparently run out of Soul Shards and cannot summon her Voidwalker. Perhaps tomorrow’s set will provide a minion for her?
Meanwhile the diver from yesterday gets his fins along with a “diver down” flag buoy thingy and life vest. The fins are attached to the sprue from molding. Remember when 1×1 round plates came that way? Ah those were the days…. Anyway, I don’t see how he’s going to dive down very far to use his speargun with that life vest on!
Advent Calendars, Day 13
Today we get a Frogman and a Frog.
The City calendar gives us a new minifig, so now the pie vs pizza mystery is forgotten and we have some kind of fish spear hunting guy with two mask/snorkel pieces, but no flippers or SCUBA tank.
On the Castle side, our intrepid dwarf warrior gets a new axe, a mining shovel, and a box to store them in. Oh, and a frog for a companion.
Advent Calendars, Day 12
Day 12 brings us more props: a mining cart for the dwarf and an oven for the chef. Hooray for the dark blue jumper plates!
My World of Warcraft analogies are starting to fail on me … oh wait, I know! Deeprun Tram! Well, kinda.
And I guess that must be a pizza after all. Maybe it’s one of those weird Chicago-style so-called pizzas?
Advent Calendars, Day 11
Today is another prop day.
City: Cherry pies for the chef. (I know most of you are thinking pizza, but LEGO has printed tiles for that. Cherry pie sounds more Christmasy anyway.
Castle: Gold Vein (Requires Mining 155)
(Sorry about the World of Warcraft in-jokes… ok I lied. I’m not sorry.)
Advent Calendars, Day 10
Today we get new minifigures for each advent calendar:
Fresh from Ironforge, a dwarf warrior joins the human knights in the Alliance to stand against the Horde undead (skeletons). What’s next, a night elf? On the City side, however, we have a chef with an oar.
Advent Calendars, Day 9
Today we get two more accessories: a ladder for the fireman to climb, so he can rescue the cat, and a crossbow on a wheeled carriage (arcuballista) for the castle soldiers to ward off the skeletons.
So to summarize the calendars so far, we have three distinct scenes for City:
And in the Castle world, one grand battle gearing up:
My Good Twin / Evil Twin plot will have to wait for now…
Advent Calendars, Day 8
On day 8, the City advent calendar yields a mediocre tree with a cat stranded at the top, while the Castle guys get an archery target, bow/arrow, and quiver:
This gives our Day 7 guys ways to practice and hone their skills prior to entering into combat. The knight from Day 7 practices his archery; meanwhile, the firefighter from the previous day practices his skills, honed in years of experience:
