What's the deal with these new cannons? Not liking the ammo to much. I guess it must be a new safety issue. :(

That's exactly it. North America is a litigation jungle, and Playmobil are playing safe, if I may be excused the expression.

In the UK we can order pairs of cannons with proper ammo from the direct ordering service - though the stacks of cannonballs do tend to roll everywhere unless secured with blu-tack.

here is a new picture of the 4156 adventskelender.
we are still having 30Âșc temperatures now in portugal and i think this set means that my christmas will still be warm.

could this be a new brown hat, by the way?
i think i have seen the mold in a key-ring figure but never in a "normal" one...

 :hmm:

I was waiting to see the "actual" hat - the artist's impression could have been misleading.

I think you're right - but it appears to be the only thing in the entire set that is new, everything else I already have from other sets, unfortunately. I'll wait for this hat to appear elsewhere, I won't be rushing out to buy this advent calender. Now if they'd included the new small sailing dingy instead of another rowboat...

It certainly looks smart and has custom uses, particularly amongst civilians.

you also have the hat in the new 4292 piratenbande (see the pirate on the right.
looking closer, maybe the piratesse's hat is also new.
and, of course, the very first balded klicky in the left.
:yup:

I haven't seen that style of beard before either, Cachalote. It looks to be the second longest in the collection.

It'd be nice to see a photo of all the beard types lined up, from stubble through to the extra-long beard, and suggestions of which sets/characters they best suit.
