I don’t know which is worse – Olivia’s mistrust of Mouse, or Mouse’s fixation on the Doll!Friends

Yesterday I commented that Christina needed a hat or something. Today, we get the “or something.” A bag full of Friend hair accessories. Fifteen assorted hair ribbons and trinkets, a crown, a mirror, two brushes and a hair dryer.
All in a really off-putting foam blue-green.
The parts aren’t new, but the light aqua color versions are a Friends Advent exclusive.
Whiskey could always trade them to the friends dolls in exchange for an escape from friends advent, lol.
In City today we got a ‘micro’ fire engine
actually, its a radio controlled fire truck, the second bit was the control (not unlike the controller for (Olivia’s?) robot in the friends series.
I think it’s cool – a toy for the kid with a link to the fireman!
BTW – i’m trying to write a 500-ish word short story each day using the City advent gifts. If you’re interested, check out my blog: http://frog101.wordpress.com
thanks again Christopher for the Advent madness – its great to see what was in the other advent calendars – and I love this year’s storyline! 🙂
In the star wars advent calendar:
Day 5 we get a lego sh*t, I mean a droid MTT
Day 6 we get a droid. Nothing special, no weapons.
Day 7 we get a pretty cool microscale Naboo starfighter.
All in all I am not impressed Lego. If I’d bought the calendar I would be angry but it was a gift, thankfully.
Light aqua looks good for most parts, but even here I would have to draw the line, mainly because all of these parts are the same color. If women do have accessories chances are they’re not all a completely matching color set because they’d come from different manufacturers. They’d also come in colors women would prefer and not necessarily in such an odd color. It could have been worse, I suppose, they could have included the sprue these parts came on, which is totally useless because when TLG manufacture parts on sprues in this manner it means a lot of wasted plastic is sold to the customer and it doesn’t even fit into LEGO pieces making it doubly useless. If TLG would just learn to make all of their accessories on sprues fit at least some basic hand or grip LEGO parts could clip onto, then it would be a lot better.
