Friends Advent Calendar - Day 7
Posted by MeganL,
We're a week into the calendar, and while I've enjoyed meeting two characters and the Pride Pony, there hasn't been a lot so far that feels like Christmas or a market. Perhaps that will change today.
Yes! I'm happy with this little build on two counts - we finally have a stall for the market, and it's in a festive colour! I like the use of cone pieces for the columns to add a bit of interest, and it's always nice to get another hot dog bun piece (or rather, a bun for the wurst).
We're finally starting to see a market!

... a market selling *one* hotdog.

Maybe all the rest was already sold?
Cute build!
@Zordboy well, don't worry. Their supply might be low but they've adjusted their price accordingly:
Get it now or it'll be gone forever!
Hungry?
That'll be 100 dollar.

A whole hotdog? Luxury... I dreamt of having a whole hotdog....
@Zordboy: It's a market stall in an Advent Calendar. Those don't tend to come with a fully stocked backroom.
I like this, fun little build

Oh, that's handy, 100 is the only denomination of Lego bills anyway!

I feel like this must be, like, the greatest and most amazing hotdog in the whole entire world ... because there's an entire Christmas market designed to selling just one of them.
Gosh, imagine how perfect that hotdog must be. People would take out mortgages on their houses to afford this hotdog. Ships would sent forth. Wars would be fought. Aliens would appear on Earth, drawn across the stars for the chance to sample the greatest hotdog in the history of the Universe.
I overthought that, didn't I?

That's why it's 100 dollar ;)

And it does have a guiding star overhead.

You wait until day 22…

@Zordboy:
Literal case of first come, first served. Speaking of which, these guys are first in line:

A pun for the wurst! Zingers and bangers all around!

That's what Lego wants you to believe and maybe it was true, once. The reality is that now it's just one old hotdog whose specialness is derived from artificial scarcity that few buy into anymore and combined with poor color-matching, parts that become brittle and fragile with age, peeling, poorly-matched stickers, and uneven design pumped-out by young kids who have to bunk together in some version of a Billund elf clubhouse (complete with auto turnout beds)...
But, there's always a GWP!!! In this case, probably just an extra star and cone. :(

"What're you talking about? It's a perfectly sane food to eat. One hotdog, please... hmm... interesting texture."
Ah yes, the traditional Christmas hot dog.
@StyleCounselor:
Eh, it’s weirder than that. Once they get old and hard enough, apparently they’ve been building furnaces out of them in the basements of houses in the Metro Chicago area…

I was thinking the same thing, that this wasn't an ordinary hotdog stand but a shrine to the arken-hotdog, the one hotdog that all other hotdogs strive to be. Forged by the gods of streetside cookery and gifted to humanity to serve as inspiration for all eternity. If you were to eat it, it would grant both you and your descendents hotdog-making superpowers - no matter how sloppy you make your hotdogs they will be the best hotdogs anyone has ever tasted.
With the star on the stall it looks like this was the winning entry in a hot dog competition, rather than a stall that sells hot dogs.
And people say Lego doesn't make any religious builds. It's the Shrine of the Holy Hotdog!

Between the shrine of the holy hotdog and the pride pony, the Friends calendar has definitely been the most meme-able, so far.
@axeleng:
Or it’s the seat of honor for the hot dog the locals have decided to make their king. You know, like that chair Jack Sparrow used when he was vacationing on that one island.
