City Advent Calendar - Day 10
Posted by Huw,
So far we've been gifted 2 proper minifigs and a "is it or isn't it a minifig" snowman.
I think we might be due to get the real deal behind today's window...
Yes, we have hit the jackpot with another minifig! Today it's "Customer - Female, Medium Dark Flesh Jacket, Scarf, Ski Beanie Hat", according to BrickLink, named as such because she first appeared in this year's 60203 Ski Resort.
Her jacket was first used in last year's 60202 People Pack - Outdoor Adventures.
The best part about her is her scarf, which according to the database, was introduced in 2017, has only been made in orange so far, and has appeared in 7 sets.
However, the more astute of you will have noticed in my review of 10270 Bookshop, that there's a lime green one that set, so maybe we'll also see some more useful coloured ones that might make do for football scarves in future.

That’s not who I got....
^ You're probably on the 11th already...
Cut us some slack! Here in Queensland we’re a day ahead, but 5 years behind.
Spare scarf always nice to have.
Overall nice figure.
I just love that scarf piece, and it's pretty awesome that we got two of them.
Today, when I was lifting the advent calendar off the shelf, I actually put my fingers clean through the door for day 14. I resisted the urge to look, but I wonder whether that's a common problem for others...
Nice figure but, what happened to the Clickit calendar?

There's a red scarf coming with the new Chinese New Year sets.
This is definitely our best minifig so far. So unique pieces, especially that scarf and the cap. Instant 5/5 from me
@Zordboy , yes that's been a common problem for us this year. I'm glad the doors are easier to open w/o tearing, however we have several open/partially open doors for days yet to come. I've had to take greater care when handling the boxes as grabbing from the sides indents those days' boxes. My daughter, who is 10, has had same issue. As long as you don't open the doors fully and go ahead and start building ahead of time, it's still an improvement over previous years' imo though.

So Huwbot called quit because of us, shame as I was looking to follow him on that calendar.
The extra scarf is nice too!
@Huw I opened the right door, but got the wrong minifig....
@Huw It's unfortunate about the clickets kalender, but I noticed less and less responses and likes so I understand. And it's probably pretty difficult to keep writing as well.
But please tell Huwbot that I loved the effort put into the first 8 days. :)
I found them entertaining. Thanks.
