Hi NerdEJackie! Yes, these are absolutely a rip off. This design was stolen from our website and as you can tell, it was terribly done...We have had a lot of fun (not!) in sending out infringement claims to get these listings taken down. They ran our art through an AI tool to try and get around legality issues? It murdered it, haha. We do have the real version for sale on our site and through very few resellers. We would love to send you a real one as an apology for this abomination!
Just a follow up on the types of dice, those are not photos of our dice, those were added in by the company that ripped them off. We've had a few different options but they did not involve metal or liquid core this year.
The liquid core set they show looks like it was a picture stolen off of Etsy, shopify, or some other online market from someone who hand makes them. As a dice maker myself, I can attest that liquid cores are costly to make.
I feel bad for the owners of those photos… they can easily get their reputation damaged by knock offs and scammers using their photos because. Even if the consume knows it was a stolen photo sometimes subconscious bias or skepticism gives people a bad opinion
The photos looked a bit photoshoped and fake to me - I know you can get liquid centers but this was totally scammy! Very low effort put into not only the dice but the printing on the box when it had 2 sets of numbers i was very sceptical!
The way the numbers start normal but change order and get blended into the art/disappear at spots makes me think AI was used to produce the front image. Or maybe to edit a stolen box art like the fake LPS Advent calendars. Not surprised at the cheap dice from Temu calendar lol but a fun idea for dice goblins!
Man, the metal dice can be found pretty affordably, they're not even that pricey anymore compared to some really fancy sets you can find! This was just a total rip off!
So this temu one is actually stolen from an etsy one. The same box and everything. The Etsy one offers the option of novelty ie liquid core dice or the more standard one you got here.
ok I checked, the artist(s) are in this comment section, they 100% took the picture in the Etsy and ran it through an AI to make it "different" that's why the numbers got all messed up at the top
@@manuebendermarcachien581nope, the temu shop took the picture of the actual advent calendar and ran it through an AI the real artist is one of the top comments, you can access their shop from the website listed on their channel, their advent calendar is 100% real art
Jackie, you rolled a 13 on a d20, that's over the average, not to mention a very respectable role for a D&D game, that would've been a success on most things.
2:20 I think Temu literally copy and pasted an already existing advent calendar onto a box, numbered it themselves and left the original numbers on it😊
I agree with you that it was a complete clickbait. You can go to stores that sell matching sets for roughly $10. Even though you got 24 different dice it was not worth the price
The liquid and metal style look like the ones in the 'Critical Kit' advent calender this year, definatally using other peoples product/product photos in their advertizing
It certainly looks like AI mess to my eyes, and is. The messed up numbers, the unidentifiable blobs that have little to no shape... Yeah, I doubt there was a person there who went 'I want this here and this here exactly' on that thing
it is! you can check the artist in this comment section, their real calendar has all the numbers and the same composition, but the temu shop used a cheap ai to make a "similar art" (it's the same thing but distorted, they didn't even bother to remove the original numbers for a better result)
Unfortunately, the box said it all for me on what the quality was going to be for the dice. Not a chance in Hell was there going to be quality dice in a cheap advent calendar like that. It's so annoying how they are allowed to get away with it xx
it's not that, it's that they didn't have the full original image, so they took a picture of the original advent calendar and ran it through an AI generator, which spit out the same image but awfully distorted you are the 4 blended into the... pink thing
as a DND player im excited for the video but not having high expectations for the dice. I've brought dice of temu before and they weren't great. will stick to my local small business game store
Bless you, Jackie!😅 A 7-set of fancy dice like the metal one you were looking at in the ad or ones with metallic features go for between $50-60 at the local Sentry Box here in Calgary. I bought an oil slick skeleton metal set and didn't check the price - it was $80! So I fully do not expect any fancy dice in this set. Also, when you were rolling a 1 on the D4 or D6, that's still a 1 point of damage in Dungeons and Dragons- it's not nothing! All those small damage rolls can add up! 😅 The only time the 1 is a critical fail is when you roll a D20!
About the numbers: I think that they made the art with AI and it messed up the big numbers, so they tried to solve it by writing tiny numbers over the art?
To think that you were promised to get the special type of dice & liquid core dice when in reality getting bamboozled completely, I feel bad for you Jackie 😅😅😅
My brother got my 5 year old a Temu advent calendar and so far it’s all tiny 90s trolls 😂😂😂 and every time she opens one she is shocked and says where’s its clothes 😮😮😮😮 and then laughs at its booty cheeks 😂😂😂😂
I think they intended you to start at number one in the top left, go along that row. Then drop down to the next row and go back the other way. If you look at the art, there is an environment you can follow. They obviously printed their design on a generic advert blank, that already had the numbers printed on, going the other way.
this was on amazon Dice DND Dice Set - 140 Pieces Total (20 Sets of 7 Dice in Unique Colors) & Storage D&D Dice Bag-Polyhedral Role your 3 out of 10 was generous I would have thrown it in the trash lol love your videos
I got one of the red transparent dice on my day. I've got two Harry Potter advent calendars, one which I bought in Black Friday sales, so everything in it should be really good quality, considering the store I bought it from. (Smiggle, if anyone's wondering.)
I was looking at these calendars but figured that they were fake given your history with Temu calendars! It's cheaper just to buy the dice you like from Temu, they're usually under $3 a set. Thank you for buying this so I don't have to!
the reddish d10 I'd have to say is very autumnal and up there as a fave with the ones you got. but at least you can make a couple mismatch d&d sets worth from what you got
Oof, you save me thank you. The dice in the calendar look top notch, but the collector in me would want a cohesive set. The lbs of dice on Amazon looks like it would be better value and a bonus of organizing any sets. Lol
I think the numbers are set so you can open it 2 different ways either the way you did or with the image the correct orientation, it's weird, think they were trying to do a choose your adventure idea but failed the execution
The numbers look like you can either open the calendar in portrait or landscape mode. They go in order right to left in portrait, and in a right/left/right zig zag in landscape.
Jackie i have been a gamer and dice aficionado for over 40 years. Thats the worst random dice pull i have seen in a while. If you go to gaming conventions dice sellers sometimes do a huge bowl of dice with a mug next to it. 1 mug full is $5. Your choice. You will be in dice nerd heaven.😊
Considering this is from Temu... I ain't surprised. I had a feeling that there was never gonna be any really good dice or at least the special ones. As someone who was able to hold dice like the metal ones. Those guys are HEAVY feeling! You would tell if a few of them are in there based on weight. If people want dnd dice... They are better off getting them from legit online stores.
Hey jackie!! I love your surprise videos, and i was wondering if you could do the LOL Mermaid surprise doll!!! I would be so happy if you rate them!! No pressure!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
They have listings for dice sets that have liquid cores and have good reviews. I took a gamble and now I just need to wait for them to arrive. The pictures might have been stolen and the reviews might be fake but I ordered them so here's hoping they aren't too bad
I think what's probably going on with the numbers is that the printer screwed up a client's order and, rather than totally eating the cost of the reprint, decided to sell the messed up version to some company looking to put out a cheap advent calendar.
Just a heads up the liquid core and metal dice are way more extensive to make. The fact that it was only $24 means it would all be cheaper cheap soft edge dice.
Ohhh yeah, this was scammy as ever and all the jazz! Craptastic prompter art on the cover and basic beginner dice, altho the marbled ones are really nice, especially the white and the green ones. I am glad the originators f the dice calendar popped up and showed us how it should look. Quality stuff right there with them.
I bought two dice advent calendars this year - one at $65 (a10 dice acrylic set, 8 piece acrylic and some random dice including metal and wood) and a $95 (a metal set, a an acrylic set and some accessories). That price was 100% a red flag. The cheapest dice advent from a reputable seller I found was about $50. This is one of those mildly frustrating reviews because a quick Google search shows that a set of liquid core dice do go for about $50, so even for Temu that price is sus cheap.
ohhb a 3am review and on the magical clicky clacks ( i am a dice goblin, i love me some dice) though as this is temu I'm not gonna hold my breath lol *edit* and not even a full set? nope.
Thank you for testing this calendar, I was thinking about buying it even if I knew it will probably be a scam. But now I know it most defienetely is a scam.

What’s great about Temu is they will refund this for not being what was pictured. They won’t even make you return it.

Omg that’s absolutely terrible 😭 so sorry to hear that
They really cursed your super fun art!
Ooh I'd love to see that advent calender review ❤
That poor art 😭 the amorphous AI blobs are so sad looking. I am so sorry this happened to your product!
The liquid core set they show looks like it was a picture stolen off of Etsy, shopify, or some other online market from someone who hand makes them. As a dice maker myself, I can attest that liquid cores are costly to make.
The entire cover artwork on the box was stolen from a small business and then garbled with AI, too.
I feel bad for the owners of those photos… they can easily get their reputation damaged by knock offs and scammers using their photos because. Even if the consume knows it was a stolen photo sometimes subconscious bias or skepticism gives people a bad opinion
Also a dice maker.. this made me wanna cry

She knows temu is a terrible place to buy from but she keeps on doing it for content which is so sad, this is why I rarely watch her anymore
The way the numbers start normal but change order and get blended into the art/disappear at spots makes me think AI was used to produce the front image. Or maybe to edit a stolen box art like the fake LPS Advent calendars.
Not surprised at the cheap dice from Temu calendar lol but a fun idea for dice goblins!
oh AI was 10000% used on it. the whole thing is straight from hell lol!
There is NO way you're getting metal or liquid core dice from Temu. Those sets are EXPENSIVE on their own.
Man, the metal dice can be found pretty affordably, they're not even that pricey anymore compared to some really fancy sets you can find! This was just a total rip off!
I got my liquid core set on Temu and it was legit. Just not in an advent calendar.
Temu? No, Jackie, no.
So this temu one is actually stolen from an etsy one. The same box and everything. The Etsy one offers the option of novelty ie liquid core dice or the more standard one you got here.
Shop name please.
Does thé art IS ai too in Etsy one?

Looks a little dicey😂

These are 100% dice sold in bulk. They'll do, but definitely got ripped off lol
The AI regurgitation of the art here is absolutely traumatic ;v;
the original picture is so cute and whimsical as well, but they just had to run it through an AI 😭
@@kitsunebiShake there is an original picture? man, it's just sad how people use AI....
It probably doesn't matter what order you open them.....especially if all of the compartments heve dice in them.
it's not that, it's that they didn't have the full original image, so they took a picture of the original advent calendar and ran it through an AI generator, which spit out the same image but awfully distorted
you are the 4 blended into the... pink thing
These dice look exactly like the cheap bin of dice at my local game store
1:10.... welll the dimensions DO matter when you need to ship something and the price depends on the size of the box...
as a DND player im excited for the video but not having high expectations for the dice. I've brought dice of temu before and they weren't great. will stick to my local small business game store
Jackie-I get it now 😄. The frown is SALTY.
I just know how pretty your smile is.
Thanks for another great video.
😊
I think they expect people to open them in December right before Christmas and just have no time to complain 😂
You should make your own resin dice😀 you can make them as you want

Liquid cores are absolutely amazing 😭
Had to laugh the brown one landed on #2 😅🤣😂
To think that you were promised to get the special type of dice & liquid core dice when in reality getting bamboozled completely, I feel bad for you Jackie 😅😅😅

Its a good day when a new advent calender review is out
Love your vids Jackie!
I got the Crystal advent calendar from Temu it looks pretty much the same as this but the crystals are actually really good!
I think they intended you to start at number one in the top left, go along that row. Then drop down to the next row and go back the other way.

I'm really into these advent calendar videos! Also, My bday is the 12th, so I got the emerald green looking one. I'll take it. It's pretty to me. 😂

I made my own dice advent calendar instead of one, I got 7 sets of 25 sets of dice and get one each day. I love dice so I played D&D.
the reddish d10 I'd have to say is very autumnal and up there as a fave with the ones you got. but at least you can make a couple mismatch d&d sets worth from what you got
Ya bought it from Temu....what else was you expecting lol.....I received a used advent calendar from them last year and I've not touched them since
You flipped the dice on this advent calendar and definitely got less than half!! 😂
woaaaaaaaah this woke me up three in the morniiiiiiiiiiiing
Same, I was planning to sleep buuuuuut here I am
@@Jasmine-wn9eksaaaaaaaaaaaame
Now you need to buy proper liquid dice from the small businesses to redeem that lol
Daam 😂
I didnt knew that a dice advent kalender is exsiting 😂😅😊
Also, the poo one is my birthday. 😂😂
3:09 it looks like adventure time theme to me lol. Maybe, dungeons and dragons- a guess, I’ve never played
Looks like you can choose. Either hold it like you do, and follow the large numbers. Or turn it 90 degrees and follow the small numbers
I hate that this is a stolen thing that's happening but they look so pretty and I love dice that people make and design.
Translucent blue favorite
Martin and I are glad we are drinking coffee as we turned the dice rolling into a game. Every time you got a low number, we took a drink, lol
I stink at rolling too. Lolz
In dungeons and dragons, hit points are usually rolled on the D4 so a LOW number is a good thing.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure you could buy a bag of 24 random dice for much, much cheaper, on Temu even.
Oof, you save me thank you. The dice in the calendar look top notch, but the collector in me would want a cohesive set. The lbs of dice on Amazon looks like it would be better value and a bonus of organizing any sets. Lol
Hi I’ve been a fan for 4 years I love your content and I hope you continue your amazing work ❤🎉
I haven't played dnd yet but iam really obsessed with dice, lol

wow I didn't even know they sold advent calendars 😮

19, I like the one you got because it looks like a burning fire :3
My dice for my birthday was the pretty green one with gold numbers! Which is perfect because I am a May baby so my birthstone is emerald!

JACKIE, YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE DICE A LIL SUGAR BEFORE THE ROLL., GIRL!
I WANNA GET INTO DND AND I WANT DICE 😭
A new video is a great end to a lazy Saturday! ❤
I have a bad of dice in my RUclips background because I'm a huge nerd, and have a whole bunch of dice, it's really pretty Ave fun!!

Putting a whole new meaning to take a chance and roll the dice huh?
Rolling low all the time just means you'd be a great DM! Lower rolls would favor your players!
But I’m a merciless DM o 😆

I bought the exactly same one for my husband, but i got mine from Amazon. 😂 it's a rip off from a original one from a Canadian company.
Oh Jackie we need to get some proper dice for your collection because these belong IN THE TRASHH🎉
There 2 sets of numbers and u can choose if u want to open it vertically or horrizontally.
You can ink the numbers with whatever color you want!
It looks like the other numbers you can line them up and I’ll make a different picture❤ 3:16
I knew by the price there wouldn’t be a liquid core those normally run 25-40 for one for a nice one. lol my dice tastes are fancy
at least the 14 one for my birthday is pretty!
Thanks, Jackie. I considered buying this.
The copper poopoo color dice rolled a number 2 - did anyone else laugh out loud?
My bday is the 25th.
In fact, my half bday is Christmas day!
You should throw one to rate the calendar.... for sure you'll get a high number.... LOL!
as soon as i saw dic advent calendar i had to click!!! such a fun idea! if only it wasn't a fake one
I'm a goblin and I would still call this a total freaking ripoff
You should try the DANCING BEAR 25 Break Your Own Geodes, advent calendar
i wanna spin all them lol happy hoildays!!
I got the gold one with white numbers on the 11th ❤
I'm even sad that you don't get a full dice set from a d2 to a d20 just a lot of d4 d8 and d10 few d6 and d20 😢
You’d get way better value with a pound o’ dice bag. You could even make several advent calendars yourself with it.
Thank you for testing this calendar, I was thinking about buying it even if I knew it will probably be a scam. But now I know it most defienetely is a scam.
