God bless.

Yea! I mean, How many firemen do they think we want!?

Well I E-mailed Lego this is what I said….

Dear Lego Company, I Josh Neyman. (Also know as “Brickule” online) Am E-mailing on behalf of the Lego Castle fans in the United States. We are (to put it lightly) disappointed that the Castle Advent Calendar will not be available to us.

We ask that you please reconsider and see the horrible mistake you are making, I myself was hoping to get at least two or three of the sets. We were exited about the maiden available in the calendar, and also were looking forward to the witch. It is not often we have the chance to get women for our castle MOCs. So please, we would very much appreciate it if you made the Castle Advent Calendar available to your loving fans in the good oll’ USA.

And this is what they said….

Dear Joshua
Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in LEGO® brand products.

The Advent Calendar you referred to is not available in our current product selection and is not expected to be available for sale in the United States at this time. We currently have the LEGO City Advent Calendar for sale, item number 7724. To confirm an availability date at a later time or to answer any questions, call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-835-4386.

The sets you mentioned above weren't available at any of the Lego stores around here.
No, I bought VW in Lego Store in Natick and I was holding factory specials for a loong time in my hands before I decided I do not have enough space in my suitcase...

I feel pain even two months later...

Next time, larger suitcase...

Noticed it wasn't in the lego catalog and thought "What gives?".

Come on lego, don't let me down.

I'm still waiting for my order- I think the accident in the Channel Tunnel has probably slowed the delivery down quite abit, but i'm still optimistic it'll be here any day now.

I've got my calenders yesterday, and I must say it's very much worth the money.
9 minifigs and loads of castle stuff for E 17.50 :D
