Whiskey is usually right in being paranoid, but this time he’s off base. The Lodge *does* allow pets. (that’ll be mentioned in tomorrow’s strip, but I figured I’d say something now, too.)

The paw-print tile sits poorly on top of the present – round 2×2 tiles don’t have a good way to get centered on a single stud. Still, I’d rather have an offset tag than the standard LEGO present topper of a tile-that-looks-like-a-letter.
In the SW advent
Day 9: Some imperial Hoth dude
Day 10: Microscale AT-AT
Day 11: erm… a… I think its a cannon but it looks a lot like some kind of speeder…
Atgar 1.4 FD P-Tower laser cannon, about half the size it should be, but I think it’s still rather nice.
In the City advent:
Day 9: a mechanic
Day 10: four wheels and a porters trolley. Really miffed about that day… didn’t even bother to double bag it… 🙂
Day 11: the rest of the quad bike to put the wheels on.
Yeah, stripped of the usual supports, with a ‘+’ in the middle instead of an expected ‘O’ peg, those round tiles have always been rather troublesome anyway. Try getting a minifig to carry a pizza piece, for instance.
And say what you want about the Friends line, but I think their Advent’s done a fairly consistent job maintaining the ‘holiday/winter’ theme thus far. (Much more so than, say, last year’s City set, with its merrily festive… uh, jail.)
Actually, when I’m posing a minifig to carry a pizza, I just clip the tile in the hand, the way I would if it were a 1×2 or 2×2 square tile; as long as you avoid the cut-outs for the studs to fit into, it works just fine. 😉
Surely you mean the paw-print tile sits paw-ly.
I think they could have got it to sit nicely if they put it on two studs, that’s what the x is for. It fits in the gap between, making good use of being round. I just don’t know if they count it as legal…
dont confuse me with your logic
