Pictures of Lego Advent Calendar
Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2010 4:06 am
Dear Lego,
Let me start by saying that I am really happy that you're producing advent calendars, and I'm especially happy that you're putting out a Castle themed one again this year. I'm even happier still that you're selling them in North America this year. You've given so much that I hate to ask for anything more, but I have one tiny request.
In order to preserve the suspense and surprise, I have been avoiding all pictures of the contents of the calendar since they were released some time ago–this includes what I suspect is a very good review of each day posted on this site. When I went to order my copy from Shop at Home today, however, the picture of the set appears to have been a collection of each day's contents. I scrolled down as quickly as possible, but I still accidentally caught a glimpse of a couple of the models.
Now, I know that you want to show off the contents of the set; I suspect that this helps to boost sales as parents like to see what they're buying for their children. But, would it be possible to include this as a 'secondary' picture on SaH that would need to be clicked on to be enlarged while leaving the default, main picture as the box art? This would still allow all the benefits of showing off your hard work, but would allow for those of us who are looking at this as a true advent calendar (and are purchasing it for ourselves) to preserve some of the mystery. It such a very small thing, but while it may seem petty, it would make a great difference to some of us. Well, it would make a great difference to me, at least.
