The knights in this calandar are the first Lion Knights I've gotten. The crossbowman in yesterday's box (I think it was yesterday) has not the slightest sign of pinkitis. But I did notice the thinnest line of silver flashing along the bottom of the white square on his front. Under a jeweler's loop I'd say it was no more than a tenth of a millimeter. And, sure enough, along the top in an equally thin line the white seemed to appear pinkish. So I'm guessing that's how Lego solved the pinkitis question -- underlaying the white paint with a layer of silver.

I noticed that the fur trim along the Prince's tunic appears slightly pinkish, too. But I really don't think it's bothersome, and never would have noticed it if I hadn't been reading these forums.

Mine has pinkish fur too, but I think it's not so bad as is, so I didn't claim another one to TLC.

I had a lot of fun with this year's Castle advent calendar. Each pack had extras in it such as spears, swords, apples, and the queen's crown. All in all it was a nice set for Christmas, and I'm glad that TLC put it out. I can only hope they do something like this again in the future.

Okay, so all opened, and for the most part, I am happey with it. There were some days were the item was a little under-welming, but there were others that were awesome.

I was quite amazed at the number of extra pieces that came with this. On days when I thought I was only supposed to get 1 sword, I ended up with 3. I think there were 3 wands in there for the last day, which I was quite surprised at. Not that I need a plethora of trans-neon-yellow wands, but it was still nice regardless.
