So Much Fun!!!
on December 16, 2018
Posted by: Mysti
As a Mom who doesn't like the "candy" Advent Calendars I look for new ideas each year and happened upon this one. What a great purchase!! My 8 year old daughter loves to open each new day and rushes to open it each morning before she gets ready for the day. There hasn't been a day that she hasn't enjoyed yet and we are on day 16.
We bought a small Christmas tree for her room and are hanging her ornaments on the tree. She thinks it's pretty cool to have her own tree.
Perhaps those who have been complaining about no mini-figures or "playability" should do the same thing. And make that something special for your daughter. And you can set up the tree and ornaments year after year to enjoy again and again!!
I have nothing but praise for Lego on this one. And your creativity was just perfect!!

This years no brainer...

I always choose between Friends, City and StarWars advent calendars every year. Usually City wins. But this year the Friends calendar is the one to pick in my opinion. It has over 100 pieces more than either of the others and every mini build is designed to act as a tree ornament, just thread some string through and there you go.
I must admit I’m not a fan of mini-dolls so the fact that this doesn’t have any is a bonus for me but I can understand why people are annoyed about there not being any. The City and StarWars ones both come with several. I do think that this should have at least one exclusive printed figure.
If the StarWars calendar came with an exclusive printed figure I’d buy that hands down but this year it’s Friends all the way.

Why no minifigures?
on September 17, 2018

City and Star Wars both come with minifigures . Why aren't there any with friends? There also used to be accessories - like skis? How about a pet or 2? Cute designs for just hanging out with Classic Lego boxes, but not enough for an advent calendar. How about some new calendar themes- jungle, elves, animals,harry potter, racers? Where is your imagination?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

brilliant...

I was starting to grow weary of the Advent calendars. I've purchased the last three City calendars, and wasn't looking forward to another mini Santa and some tiny race cars. Having the build be ornaments as well is such a game changer. This more than makes up for the lack of minidolls. I'm super excited for December!

LOTS of parts to decorate your tree with a friend
on October 15, 2018
Posted by: SuzEaton
Wow! 24 different mini-models here! Some are really cute. There's even a tiny tic-tac-toe game and a signature model for each Friends character (see guitar, roller skate, trophy, camera, and microscope!).
Looking at other reviews here, I didn't see it mentioned that this year's Friends Advent Calendar has more than DOUBLE the usual piece count (500 vs. 215 or so). I imagine this is because minidolls are one of the most expensive parts that LEGO makes, and they aren't included this time. Personally, I have no problem with that. This is a different play experience than in the past. Instead of building a tiny scene with the Friends characters, children are encouraged to build life-sized ornaments to decorate their tree, or other space.
I imagine this "shared crafting experience" (similar to the 41346 Friendship Box) may encourage kids to pull out their spare bricks and try making more decorations of their own designs! I appreciate that the wide variety of colorful parts included are generic enough to be re-used throughout the year — add them to your other sets or build more original creations!

first LEGO advent calendar
on September 21, 2018
Posted by: DPArchitect
I’ve always wanted a LEGO advent calendar, and this set was the first one I wanted enough to buy. I LOVE the ornaments, and I really hope I’ll be able to add more ornaments to my LEGO Christmas tree year-after-year. Thank you LEGO! Excited for December to begin!

Where are the friends?
on September 24, 2018
Posted by: MommyBuilder
I purchased this set for my daughter for Advent and while this is a really cute set with some unique and season builds, I already know she will be disappointed that there are no minifigures. Her brother will be getting the lego City themed one which comes with a couple of mini-figures. One of her favorite things to do is to take apart and recreate her mini=figures and their outfits. Why not include a couple mini-figures or Lego Friends in this set? I am a little disappointed....

Ornaments, how fun!
on November 13, 2018
Posted by: Jennifergwl
We've never purchased a Friends Advent Calendar before because of no interest in the Friend Dolls figures (I have boys). This year, the idea of a new ornament to put on your tree each day is great! Bought this for the family in general because they won't be played with, but adorning our tree and adding to our LEGO ornament collection. Looking forward to it :)
