      The Netflix calendar for the right price is great, I wouldnt want a Polly Pocket calendar for any price, you are free to enjoy it of course.
      Making 24 decent quality items fully licenced, in well designed and engineered packaging, was never going to be cheap. By the time you take total costs and taxes each step of the way, and allow for some profit (nobody does anything not looking to make money, Ashens makes money on his films in some way) I imagine the actual price is probably at least close to as cheap as it can be.

      I think leaving the house parts until the 25th is a flawed concept for an advent calendar. It would be better if you could place the items in the house throughout the days instead of having tiny object you couldn't really do anything with until Christmas.
      It's like if the Wera calendar put the pouch that keeps all the screwdriver bits until the 24th. It doesn't really make a lot of sense.

    The true meaning of Christmas: Two grown (very menly) men, plying with BRIO, Polly pocket and a deadly children's doctors set, while nerding out over streaming series.

    I'm giving this year to Polly Pocket, myself.
    Also, that's movie magic, the Only Fools and Horses theme, I think, at the end.
    Merry Christmas!

      @hfb_blaacc2591 Місяць тому +18

      Well, here's my therory. Since it still works with Dan pulling it out of the calendar it's not gonna be something to do with a trigger tdetecting the opening of the calendar.
      I believe the small box has a sensor in it that detects an orientational change of the sound module (triggerd by a weight being moved inside it due to gravity or similar)
      The fact that it never played was likely because it was calibrated and placed in such a way that expected the user to lay the calendar down like a book when opening it, whereas Dan only ever placed it in an upright position.

    • @dmd8552
      @dmd8552 Місяць тому +7

      I don't know. But it is definitely a song that's playing live, Dan's bouncing matches with the music. These music boxes definitely can have more songs on them to save on production costs. The discs are just barcodes the player reads to select an MP3 on its storage.

    Stuart cashes in the Polly Pocket advent calendar itself against any of Dan's victories, plus the bonus point for having a day 25, and I think that gives him the victory.
    That Brio calendar was so mind-bogglingly shite it was embarrassing. Three pieces of track that don't even form a loop, no train, a bunch of stuff that doesn't connect to anything, and some plastic fence? There's no excuse for that, and whatever marketing exec approved that should be burned at the stake immediately.

    • @DJCube1701
      @DJCube1701 Місяць тому

      I wonder if the train was the reason for the "cancellation" and refund. It's supposed to have the train in it, so perhaps they realised after sending that there was an issue with it.

    I assume the Netflix sound box has a timer in it that prevents it from going off too many times in one day to save parents from their kids opening it repeatedly. I’ll bet the magnet is in the cardboard itself; I took apart something similar and couldn’t find the magnet for ages.
