Advent Calendars 2022 Day 24 | Ashens & Nerdcubed 

That calendar had everything from random USB cables to custom minifigs

Think its honestly the best 2 callenders iv seen. like if dans only costed 1 pound for each door that means his callender would have been about 25 30 quid and tbh thats toatly worth it for what was in his not to mention the size of the thing itself. think i remember the farm / elf thing witch was the first callender they did together was like 80 quid or something and most of thoes days had nothing but stickers and moldy looking tiny cake. think if dan or ashens ever quit youtube they should go into the advent creation buisness i mean they are clearly better at making them then the people who have made all the ones they have opened

Feels like a family thing. It's cool how close they are

Can't be it's supposed to be just a pound right

@@DanielBohnen They didn't coordinate when making their calendars. The £1 rule was self-imposed by Dan for his own gifts, but Stuart wasn't working under that restriction.

He printed them but the painting mush of been alot

@@turokforever007 yeah, for that good of paint work, I would expect each mini to be like $50 or so since it was a custom job.

If they were HeroForge minis, you could estimate how much they may cost. However, I’m not sure what rate commission painters charge for 3 miniatures

Guessing from the first episode Dan had 25 days to fill at £1 each and not counting postage its £25 ignoring the work on the advent itself, Ashen's said "I have spent considerably more than you have!" and I think he said "at least double" so he estimates about £50 ignoring random tat that has no value or near no value (1 inch USB Cables) the vast majority of the budget could be the mini's annnnnnd yeah.....about what you guess at $50

It was still close competition. Who could resist a potentially working DVD player and a weird poo thing?

He's a reliable reindeer!

I was hoping it'd at least last longer than Truss, didn't think I'd lose that personal bet.

@@mannmctrash Sticky Man for PM.

@@kurowasanabe You joke but when Steven Stickyhands wins the majority in 2030 you're gonna be a tertiary source my dude.

Farewell sticky man, we hardly knew ye!

It also helps that he tapped into Dan’s quirks and still found him some items that most people would have considered tat but was absolutely adored by him. The classic saying is too true, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

let's be real some of the days where cheated

It's all about the strategy and Stuart was on top of his game. Dan's calendar being...arguably full of just as much albeit significantly larger tat also helped.Seriously half that stuff can be found at any garage sale.

Spoilers!

@@neoneanderthal2658 Very true. It was a case of quality over quantity, though in this case it’s very subjective quality.

But it didn't cost a pound, so Stuart automatically loses.

I read that in his voice and it worked too well

@@NeonCoding Same!

Ngl id want thoes figures mysef they are such a cool present almost too good for a advent callender XD

I love it so much 🥺

With on Day 25, a Laserdisc Player!

@@MasticinaAkicta Not HD DVD?

@@sammoore2242 Selectavision or Video2000.

@@sammoore2242 Na, HD VHS! Even More Obscure!

packaged with "24" on DVD, the whole series

Ashens and dan opening advent callenders is something i like to watch every chritsmass eve. i actuly save all the episodes to watch some years and binge them on the 24th. not a bad tradition tbh really nice way to bring the year to a close

I remember a decade ago my corner liquor store was selling no-name DVD players for $35.

when DVDs launched in Europe in February 1998, DVD players were anywhere from $500 to $800 and there were only a handful of models to choose from, and only 14 movies available on DVD. Already half a year later the prices were going down fast and the selection of movies exploded because they were busy reprinting old movies on DVD, along with all the new ones that came out

I've got a Wii that's probably worth 1 dollar. Another dollar for the 20+ games with it.

No joke i did once see a wii in a pound shop and yes the thing worked fine. well it didnt come with any controllers or cables and wasnt the pound shop you know but it was a shop where everything was a pound so still the same thing. i actuly was sorta expecting dan to have something like that in there cus you can find insane deals like that if you go to the right places

Oh God. That would be epic 😎

It'll be full of grass masks and dead memes.

FYI, the figures themselves were totally made in Heroforge, I recognise some of the elements like Rebecca’s shoulder-strap. And based on what Ashens said about printing them out himself, my guess is he made the figures and then sent them off to this guy to paint. I mean, it’s a damn good paint job, those figures look great.

The true OGs will never forget.

And a decapitated head from a bad movie

*Advent

Never underestimate a man who knows his audience, and knows his tat.

It's common consensus that whoever won, so did Rebecca.

Heroforge sells a figure’s STL file for $8, then there’s cost for the resin, given Ashens said he printed them out himself, then there’s however much it cost him to get them custom painted. So you’re probably not far off, tbh.

Unless it doesn't work, in which case you're just paying to throw away someone else's rubbish.

@@RufusOmega Yes true, should have been tested.
