Christmas sweater minifigs?

CathyVT

I ordered a holiday train set recently, and I knew it wouldn't arrive before Christmas - I'm fine with that. The Lego Group sent a cute email with a link to a card that people could print out for kids, explaining that it wouldn't arrive in time. The image has two minifigs with reindeer Christmas sweaters - they're adorable! They don't actually exist, do they? The card can be seen here: https://e.lego.com/pub/cc?_ri_=X0Gzc2X=YQpglLjHJlTQGzbF8jpCwGW5zgsg63e2qc4w8loA7JWFpN0GJWzdzbGzdY0l5JPsipzb6VXtpKX=WDWCCCR&_ei_=EjKjdvac4Qp-6O-X0t_5wkS0Q39P4ItHqie2hzj4pyPwHVLDAdvY8LHhOV1Wdh9pX-L8lbPLVDQ0bZEf80HMn0sKei1W6z5qlk9NovUaqJrJdspj-2cuxkYSgzp65j5AzOr-ZdxSvzxsPWXzJbI1Q6HlVoCM8Gp3w8urSMPfYA6lH8gN9lOLhJjuc6tLP1Vbkkmgabi2F5g.

As far as I know, they unfortunately do not exist.

No, those are not in the BL database. But if you like pricey Christmas sweater designs you might try these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-PF2018-limited-set-Lego-Employee-2017-Gift-two-minifigures-4002017/253315503976?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Minifigs.me (run by a Brickset member) ought to be able to run you up something similar! Though I don't know what international shipping is like.

I've bought one before at a Lego show at Christmas.   I think it was from EclipseGrafx, but looks like they don't make them anymore.

Incidentally, I've just bought 10 jumpers from firestartoys.com!

The Batman CMF series Robin has a jumper with robins on, it's fairly christmassy.

I just learned that jumpers are sweaters in the UK.

And pants are worn under trousers!

What about pullovers? US or UK?

Not used in the US.

I didn’t know underwear (US) were called pants in the UK either. New meaning to the TV show in the Lego movie “Where are my pants?”

This expression would use yellow hips in U.K.

UK also uses underwear. Both as a word and a garment.

Pants often causes some confusion. The other funny one for us is when girls put things in their fanny packs.

Just bought some of the ones from Fire Star Toys too. They came very fast (across the ocean no less) and look great. Very happy with them.

I'd say this is used occasionally in the US, but as an adjective - such as, a pullover fleece vs. a zip-up fleece. "I like this fleece [or sweater], but it's a pullover, and I prefer zip-ups"Recce said:

Those are cute. I wonder how much shipping to US would be... 

Yodalicious

^ I ordered the sweaters and a number of other items and the shipping total was about $10.

This distinction is probably the absolute funniest different between American English and the Queen's English that I've ever run into.  It always cracks me up seeing a Brit react to an American saying something like that :P

Just go to the site, put your selections into the cart, select shipping to US and you should see the pricing. Then you decide. 

For my case, I noticed that if the accumulated items hit certain weight/size, it will default to DHL or some courier, else will just be registered air mail which is cheaper.

This is a Christmas jumper in my strange eyes...

^ Yes, a couple of baubles for hanging on a tree.

As a Brit living in the States for the past ten years, I still find it difficult to use certain words such as sneakers (instead of trainers) or garbage man (instead of bin man). And I absolutely will NOT say soccer instead of football. The ‘s’ word is banned in my house :-)

I hope you haven't started to say 'Legos'!

^I am sorry to say that I am one of the idiots who says 'Legos' instead of 'Lego'

My loot from Firestar toys had arrived!

These look great! What about the quality? is there enough friction (or too much?) in combination with regular LEGO Bricks? Or are these real LEGO Bricks with custom prints?

They're Lego torsos with custom prints.
