Well at least we all know now that Dan wasn't to blame for the drones (or no drones) over Gatwick Airport.. has put that conspiracy to bed! Happy Christmas one and all.
Something tells me that he either A: Made a mistake assembling int B: Broke one of the wires when he was jamming the outer shell on C: Didnt charge it properly (Note that you have to use the cable thats on the remote to charge the internal battery of the helicopter) D: Didnt tether the helicopter to the remote properly (Unlikely if the helicopter wont turn on) Or E: Has gotten a faulty battery in the first place. (That happens, unfortunately, look at Barry´s dish cleaning claw thing)
27% of the reviews on Amazon Germany say: Utter Crap. Battery dies early. (Single price as a non-advent-calendar: 23 € (or £21 within Germany) including shipping and taxes.)
"Does it come with a remote control?" Not as stupid a question as it may seem at first. Some off-the-shelf remote control toys these days seem like they'd come with a R/C controller but instead of that, you install an app to your smartphone to control them. Which, of course, necessitates that you both a) have a smartphone and b) are totally cool with installing apps from toy companies which may not be the most secure apps that exist.
Behold! The Human Incarnation of the Grass Mask Overlords has been born! It will bring great terror among the world and ready all of our souls for the Next Harvest. Merry Maskmas everyone!
The only chance of that helicopter flying was if Dan flung it off the table like a frustrated chimp. Exhibit A: The guy playing in the coffee/tea powder is the same guy that built the helicopter.
Usually I watch you channel to cheer me up. Thanks for no real warning for the foetus at the end. Just what someone who suffers from PTSD after having gone through a traumatic event regarding a bad premature still birth being stuck waiting for nurses wanted on their Christmas day. Really, thanks. :(
Not gonna lie, if the Porsche was 1/24 scale and was really nicely built and detailed, I would've loved that advent calendar. I have a bunch of car models, most of them 1/24 cause I'm a car enthusiast. Sadly, it's definitely not the best quality, but it's nice enough. Not for that price though. I have a Lamborghini Murcielago, a 1965 Ford Mustang, a 1966 Shelby Cobra 427, and a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
Did some research on the calendars. I found the Porsche calendar on Amazon, it has one review now. 5 stars, with a review that doesn't actually review at all and merely states it was purchased for a husband who likes building model Porsches. Thanks Sarah, verified purchaser. It is still, at time of commenting, unavailable however I found some Porsche-related websites selling it on for £44.95 so its still obtainable. The Revell calendar likewise remains unavailable via Amazon with its miserable 2 half-assed 5-star reviews. However, I did discover they have made a "XS Crawler" sequel for the nice price of £49.95 (with prime!) which has also 2 half-assed 5-star reviews with such glowing praises as "better than expected" and "recipient loved it". Fab. The pensioners breakfast, however, is back in stock at the cool price of 22.77 but again, lacking comment reviews. Best I could find in that category (of note) was a coffee calendar by the same company with 3 whole stars, from yet another pair of half-assed comments (again) with the first one giving it 4 stars due to the post-purchase problems with sugars and diabetics but who still "liked the idea" and the other review a 2-star that simply bemoaned: "very expensive". Finally, the one calendar Stuart did not make it to the reviews of was the magic calendar and was the easiest to find thanks to Amazon repeatedly suggesting in relation to the other three calendars. It is also still available and running on Amazon at £19.99 (although I could find it elsewhere online for less). Ironically, considering the interruption to Stuart search, this is the only one with a decent number of reviews, and what reviews they are. Clocking in at a whopping 1.5 stars over 17 reviews, with only one 5-star review amongst them, this calendars comments are a mini-dumpster fire of frustrated and disappointed purchasers complaining about the not-overly-explicit-on-the-listing-page German-only instructions and the overall quality (or rather lack thereof) of the contents. In fact the 5 star is the only positive review available among a sea of 1 and 2s, and is from a German speaker who is glad to have a foreign product available and apparently finds it enjoyably simple for her kids (whom I can only feel sorry for having been given this piece of tat). I'm not even going to bother with the Calendar of Our True Ovelords. 5-Stars, free one-time purchase and delivery. Rejoice, for the end is nigh; our savior is made flesh, born to give Them second birth. See you 2019 for The Reckoning!
that helicopter wasn't lying when it said germany only
Just Harry update:they both travel to Germany to see if it’ll work there
It's geoblocked. Needs a hack to fly outside of Germany or inside of restricted airspace.
Sorry, not available in your country.

HOW DOES KOJIMA KEEP DOING THIS
been waiting to see this thing fly more than actual christmas itself
You'll be disappointed

IKR, genuinely heartbroken for them!
Same here

Sad thing is if you bought the Helicopter calendar, you're probably out of the 30 day return window when you realise it's broken.
If its broken, shouldn't the return window be 2 years? It is in Germany

Give the helicopter to Big Clive?
I second this so hard it could be heard on Isle of Man.
i was just coming to comment this. i crave further clive/ashens crossovers.
If there's anyone who could make it work, it's him.

Yesssss

FoxNoctom Pensioners Breakfast loses. A helicopter that doesn't fly still isn't as bad as Nutella.
When I watched the very first video I thought they said 'Petula's breakfast' and imagined a random old lady
The breakfast calendar didn't seem that bad.

Don't shed too many tears over the cost of these advent calendars. Surely, the views on this series will earn you at LEAST 60p.
I love how at 3:22 Dan’s jumper blends into the seat to create a massive square hump. Quasimodo3.
Well at least we all know now that Dan wasn't to blame for the drones (or no drones) over Gatwick Airport.. has put that conspiracy to bed! Happy Christmas one and all.
That's what he wants you to think
I bet they're just going to fill the play mobil calendar with grass mas-.....oh.....oh god....
Something tells me that he either
A: Made a mistake assembling int
B: Broke one of the wires when he was jamming the outer shell on
C: Didnt charge it properly (Note that you have to use the cable thats on the remote to charge the internal battery of the helicopter)
D: Didnt tether the helicopter to the remote properly (Unlikely if the helicopter wont turn on)
Or E: Has gotten a faulty battery in the first place. (That happens, unfortunately, look at Barry´s dish cleaning claw thing)
Meh, im convinced you broke it/didn't build it properly, Dan
You mean the guy licking up all the powdered drink mix might have fucked up?
What a fitting end to the series 😂
If you mix everything you got in the pensioners breakfast you'll get some high quality cocaine.
A bargain at 20 pounds
Oh I had hopes for the helicopter
let that be your lesson this xmas hope is for fools
Dan is the guy who always crashed when he played MS FSX, so he probably built it wrong.
I had hopes for Dan...
Well that was your first mistake
9:53 The new season of Mythbusters looks great
I thought it was a British remake of Breaking Bad.
I mean with the new streamlined bald Ashen, he really does have a look of Jamie Hyneman.
Why the hell do people leave Amazon reviews without actually having used the product?
They're as bad as those who answer with "I don't know" in the Q&As.
Dan got the wires wrong.

Merry Maskmas everyone!
Merry Grass Mask to you!
Imagine getting that helicopter calendar, spending all December building it one piece at a time, just for it to not work on Christmas
With no Doctor Who Christmas special this year, this is the only joy I get. Thank you both for being hilarious and crazy. You make my days better.
My theory is that the baby is the reincarnation of the pensioner. The Grassmask's took the pensioners ashes and rebirthed him with their dark magic.
The only chance of that helicopter flying was if Dan flung it off the table like a frustrated chimp. Exhibit A: The guy playing in the coffee/tea powder is the same guy that built the helicopter.
"We'll need protection" God I wish that they came out in the giant condoms from Naked Gun.
Best ending to anything ever
Dan's jumper merges seamlessly into his chair around 3:10. Looks like some weird hunchback
Smiple issue probly you got the wires wrong.
Clearly no one could argue with an intellectual might like yours. Or it could just be garbage.
Lovley ending ... Realy warmed my. Heart
Its been a pleasure watching you blokes open up that everyday, can't wait till next year!
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
i was so invested in seeing the helicopter fly!!!!!! X-(( worst christmas ever

To be fair, they weren't to know that. Both of them have a dark sense of humour, so this sort of thing is to expected.
Fuck off UA-cam then snowflake
Thank you fellas. Thank you.
Cool to see that Hideo Kojima is advertising through advent calendars now
I won't say I'm not disappointed, but I'm certainly not surprised.
Ashens and Nerdcubed: buying advent calendars so you don't have to.
wasn't expecting a new Death Stranding trailer in an Ashens video. What a strange Christmas.
Thanks for the month of awesome videos Ashens and Dan. I love your calendar opening videos every year!
TBH, I probably would've like the Pensioner's Breakfast one the best.
It had interesting sounding jams and a selection of hot drinks, it'd be a treat
Im heart broken for you. I'd of cried outta frustration.
the real question - did the ad rev return on the terrible investment?
Brutal Brute what ad rev
The fruit-flavoured cremated remains of a pensioner in a pink bowl.
Ah yes, the Kojima Productions advent calendar
Fetus Christ! How appropriate! Best Playmobil advent calender ever 10/10.

"I mean...I want a yacht"
That helicopter was such a satisfying anticlimax.
Gets better every year.
If I had to buy an advent calendar out of these I'd go with Pensioners Breakfast.
Please do another one of these next year. Really builds the Christmas spirit for me.
Doctorate of Psychology well used in the last shot. Good jorb Stu.
Ah! Pure entertainment gold.
Blessed be thy child.
Merry Christmas, mates 🎄🎁
that Helicopter is pure disapppointment.
If I'm paying £1,000,000 for a Porsche advent calendar, Day 24 better have an actual Porsche inside.
None of the Amazon reviews were "bought it for son as he request"?
Damn shame.
That ending. Thank you for the nightmares.
Thanks to you opening that calendar the Playmobil movie manifested itself.
Congratulations on the the birth of the new overlord

An excellent last episode
I was half expecting day 24 of the playmobil calendar to be that queen Elizabeth lollipop.
5 stars!!!
First 10 seconds of the video look good, will have to watch the rest to see how it goes!
I'm pretty happy the helicopter didn't work, I think that's thematically the best ending to this disastrous set of calendars XD Merry Christmas!
Im not sure if we will get another advent calendar series...
If you ask me, there days are numbered...
I am both not surprised and disappointed in the helicopter. Oh well, see ya all next year!
Best way to start Christmas
The grass masks won the best advent calander for me
I think the broken helicopter is still better than the working porsche miniature
the way Dan is in the chair makes him look like he's shrugging his shoulders way more than is humanly possible
Now that’s a lot of jam!
Next year you should actually film each video every single day but wear the same t-shirts all the time.
so same as all the other years then ?
Officially the wort advent calendars you guys have ever done.
Oh god almighty. What a finale😂
And thus, by a stroke of magic, the Magic Calendar, was the winner....?
That was a strange ending for the 25th day. I can't wait for the outtakes.
So Dan and Stuart are gonna be in Death Stranding then, neat
now that's magic
Thanks for helping me cope with this wasted month off. As sarcastic as it sounds I'm not kidding. This helped a lot. Thanks Stuart. [and Dan.]
Wouldn't be Christmas without a crushing anticlimax.
Best ending 10/10 definitely not gonna have nightmares
Ahh....Was looking forward to the helicopter taking flight but of course it's to be expected.
IT'S A MIRACLE!! HAIL!!
The world needs a Big Clive fix video.
Who watches Ashens videos at 4:00 in the morning?
Me: Oh boy 4:00 AM!
same
Jam babies for everyone!
The funny thing is, the actual contents of that Playmobil calendar were probably more fun than the rest of them combined.
When Dan put that chem suit on and hid his hair he looked like The Cinema Snob.
Loved the death standing twist at the end there Stewart Kojima Ashens!
I think the spirit of early creepy ashens is trying to break through
Well at least we know it wasn't Dan who closed down Gatwick Airport with the drones 😂
send the helicopter to Bigclive. let him fix it or overpower it
