Disappointing
on December 3, 2018
Posted by: CTMomof3
We have bought Lego Friends, City and Star Wars Advent Calendars for years for my 3 kids and my daughter who chose the Friends calendar this year is so disappointed and it is only day 3. She is so upset she is only building ornaments and there is nothing to play with and no Friends. I guess it is my own fault for not reading the box more carefully but why would Lego make such a drastic change. And why have they chosen to do so only with the Friends calendar? Why wouldn't the City calendar just be ornaments as well? Its seems like they are making a statement that girls just want to build crafts. This has really made the mornings a huge let down in my house every day as she watches her brother and sister open their calendars. I never would have bought this had I known.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very fun

We bought this for my son not realizing that all of the builds were ornaments. This concept is awesome! We got my son a little tree for his room to hang all the ornaments on. I think this is his favorite advent calender we’ve ever done.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi, I love my Lego Friends advent calendar even though I’m only on day 3! XD But I was slightly confused on what number 2 was. Pretty sure it’s a guitar? But I like how this one is a bit different. I’ve seen people put you could use it as a Christmas decoration, but you could, after Christmas, also super glue the bricks together and make a key ring? Thanks Lego for making such a fun thing! <3

You've got it right! Day #2 is a guitar, representing our music-loving Friend Andrea.
(As for glue, we wouldn't recommend that! It can actually make the bricks change their shape.)

I regret choosing this for my daughter

I have a girl and a boy, and my girl is so disappointed. There are no mini figures in her calendar, and the things you can actually build from the calendar are too large for being played with combined with the lego figures she already has in hand--why? Because lego figured that girls were to build Christmas ornaments this year, instead of playing with lego. So this calendar is basically just a box with Christmas ornaments. My son has the city calendar and plays with all the exciting toys he gets, while my daughter gets to build a Christmas tree ornament and that's that. Why does lego do this to girls? Girls want to play too! Wish I had baught city for my daughter as well, so she too could play with her calendar every day.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We buy various LEGO advent calendars for the kids every year and have never had one that did not contain mini-figures. The lack of minifigures in this set is very disappointing.

Love that each day is an ornament that you can build and hang on your tree! My 5 year old loves it, and is looking forward to having these ornaments be keepers for future trees as well!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Every year my daughter looks forwards to building a lego playland and enjoying it until Christmas. How terribly disappointing to discover that the entire format was changed this year. A highlight of our Christmas traditions has turned in tears.

Thanks for leaving a review; we appreciate your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your daughter was disappointed by this year’s LEGO® Friends Advent Calendar.
We wanted to give fans something different this year, so we focused on creating 24 unique ornaments that are fun to build and hang on your family’s tree.
If your daughter would prefer a playset with mini-dolls, we encourage you to check out some of the different choices in our LEGO Friends family of sets.

Ornaments, how fun!

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 :)
