Recently, I purchased TLG's latest Advent Calendar, 4524.  I did so
because of a callout in the latest S@H catalog, stating that it was "NEW".
However, I'm finding that the pieces and toys are exactly the same as the
calendar I purchased last year, 4124.

calendar.  Before I fire off an e-mail to LEGO, has anyone else encounted
this?

I agree!! I ordered this "NEW" calendar from Lego and my 6 year old has been
very disappointed that this is the same calendar from last year. I think
that next year I will stick to the Playmobil advent calendar unless Lego
guarantees that the calendar is actually new.

Whew, that makes me glad I *did* give my kids a Playmobil calendar last year,
even though I was swearing to myself at the time about all the boxes you have
to assemble-- this year the creator calendar is new to them.  Plus I appreciate
the "no assembly required" aspect of it (ironic coming from an AFOL, isn't
it?).

(...) I wrote LEGO to complain, and they actually refunded my money for the calendar. I didn't expect that... impressive. (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
