@@Zolbat Depends on the country. For example, here in Norway it varies greatly, depending on the product, the store and even the individual purchase. But I believe there is a legal minimum of 6 weeks, which can go up to a much as 3 years (not including warranties or insurances you could pay extra for)
In the Netherlands you can't return most of the products anymore after you have opened the packaging. With a receipt you can only return products in unopened packaging. You need an official warranty to return electronics.
I've been binging these advent playlists, and this one in particular isn't hilariously bad, or surprisingly good (obviously), its just... disappointing. The whole advent was soul sucking. 10/10
Let's start a gofundme campaign to get Ashens and Nerdcubed to review the $1m advent calendar next year! I won't use the money for myself I promise. I promise.
So, Helicopter sucked. Porsche was a huge disappointment. The Magic kit fizzled. And the pensioners breakfast gave you coffee, nutella, and jams. PENSIONERS.BREAKFAST. WINS.
I hate to say it but i am willing to bet that it is not broken but just built wrong, if you look back a few days to when he was installing the circuit board he commented that he had no clue where the wires went and so plugged things in randomly.
@@blurr220 most R/C helicopters actually do have a tail rotor that faces vertically because the primary rotors are contrarotating, and you don't want the overcompensation for torque, and because the blades on those trashy toy helicopters aren't variable pitch, in order to fly forwards or backwards, the tail rotor has to be vertical in order to change the nose-up attitude.

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)
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. :(
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.)
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.
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.
"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.
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!
