The 2009 City Advent Calendar is a big improvement over the 2007 and 2008 versions (I don't have any of the calendars before 2007, so I can't compare it to any of those). I'll go over the reasons why:* It finally includes a Santa Claus minifig. The 2007 and 2008 ones did not.* It finally includes a decent snow man. The snow man in the 2008 set was kind of pathetic and 2007 didn't have one.* It finally includes a devent Christmas tree. The 2008 one didn't have one and the one in 2007 was pathetic.* With the 2009 set, Lego actually made an effort to make many more of the mini-sets winter-themed - there's an ice-skater, a person throwing snowballs, a little kid playing with remote controlled cars, a sled, etc. The 2007 and 2008 sets had very few winter-themed mini-sets - they were mostly just a bunch of random city scenes that had nothing to do with winter, xmas, the holidays, etc.(the 2008 set even had a girl wearing a tank top eating ice-cream!)I actually think a lot of the mini sets in the 2009 City Advent Calendar would make a great compliment to the up-coming 10199 Winter Toy Shop. You can have the guy throwing snowballs in this set throwing snowballs at the kid in 10199. You can add the remote control cars to the toy shop. You can have Santa inside the toy shop. The ice-skater could be racing the skier in 10199.I posted pictures of all of the mini sets on my flickr pagehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/chantastic/3934061505/
