Schleich Advent Calendars thread

What how many different there are? I'm confused now. Is that some Schleich trick again XP

Susanne! Yours is different from ours! Yours has the same back print as the sheet with pre-announced content! Oh no...

So there ARE at least 3 versions
I did wonder why the items numbers jumped from 20 to 22

So you are multi-lingual, Schleichgirl

Yes, I am half dutch, my dad comes from Holland so I have a lot of family over there and I want to be able to speak to them fluently because they find it terribly hard speaking in english. So if you know of any dutch learning childrens programs that I could find on youtube, or good sites, I am much appreciated. I paritcularly like Neintje.

Susanne thanks for the pictures

So there are 3 numbers, it seems. 97020 and 97021 - both horse calendars but with different contents on the back print, and there is the farm calendar 97022. Anybody else who has another one?

So there is...

97020

97020 and 97021 look the same to me except that one is darker

Love the puppy pups!!!

But these two horse boxes are look exactly the same. It looks like there should be the same items as well.

Th horses look the same to me. Maybe the second one is a bit darker...

Yes, I also think they are the same, the second box has generally darker colours (also the sky and everything), but it's probably just a matter of photo. Figure is the same.

By the way, why is the girl riding in T-shirt in the middle of the winter, where is her jacket?

The picture that that shop has featured for 97021 is actually wrong, it's the picture for 97020. There is a slight design difference in both boxes, note the placement of the Christmas tree on the left (see below). And there is a difference in the contents, too:

this is the difference in contents between 97020 and 97021:

Thanks, Caroline, - now I think the mystery should be solved

Although I'd rather there were no mysteries like this, I love solving one together, LOL. Glad that we've found out there are two different horse advent calendars. We would probably never have known without this forum.

I just heard back from the Schleich dealer we bought the advent calendars from (in the Netherlands). He has never been given the choice between the two horse advent calendars, he didn't even know there were two versions!

So that raises another question: why does Schleich distribute only the 97021 here, and thus robs the Dutch from the more valuable content of calendar 97020?

I have a feeling the German Shepherd set will be a regular release next year,i'd be surprised if that doesn't happen. If it does I will get them most likely. The puppy's front leg is a tad odd but other than that I think its pretty cute.

How does the advent calendar work with Schleich? In the US they don't have such a thing so I don't know how it would work.

I think they have numbered "doors" and you open up one per day? Or is that totally not the question

In December, the days leading up to Christmas, you get to open one door per day and get the present behind that door. On Christmas day, you open the last door and get the (usually best) present of the advent calendar.

Yes, thank you Caroline! Now I get it

I already have the content out by the way, just kept the box in nice shape

I got the dark box with horses :) The mare looks good with that bay coat, considering how ugly her anatomy is...

Found it in a shop in Germany, thank you :)

How did I miss this topic!
I wanted to see the German shepherds at some in hand photos especially since they're going to be regular run in 2015. They're quite nice actually, still not the best GSD but better than I expected

I am also gona order it next week. I am so in love with it!

Hello, first post!

Is 2014 the first year for Schleich Advent Calendars? They look amazing. I really wanted to get the farm one, but I think I waited too long. I wanted the price to drop to less than £25, now there are only a few sellers left on amazon and ebay, asking almost £40!

So I'm wondering if there's going to be a new calendar every year? Or is this the first ever Schleich Advent Calendar? Or will they repeat the same calendar next year??

Thanks
