Huge disappointment
on December 4, 2018
Posted by: Lazylei
Purchased for my daughter. She will be very disapointed that there will not be a minifigure in this year’s set. In the first three days she’s been saying that maybe the next day she will get a figure. I just looked it up and found out that there will not be one this year. Very little continuous play factor for kids. She usually loves placing and playing with her minifigs and accessories on the advent calendar play area. None of that this year. I should have done my research on this set before purchasing. This set is good for older kids or adults that want to build things and put them on display. Not god for kids (or adults) that want to PLAY with LEGO. In my opinion this set is a miss on LEGO’s part.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed

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.

...but where are the minifigs?

Having bought at least one of the Lego Friends Advent Calendars literally every year since the first, I'm a little disappointed with this set. I do get that the theme does not form a complete Christmas playset this time, however the generic theme of "Xmas toys" is a bit too loose/nebulous for a 4-to-7 kid to get much use out of beyond "oooh, cute."
Next year, let's get back to crafting a working playset over the course of the month please.

Thanks for your review; we always appreciate our fans' feedback. We're sorry to hear that this year's LEGO® Friends Advent Calendar wasn't the right fit for your builder.
This year, we've given fans the chance to try out some cool building techniques while creating 24 unique ornaments that are awesome for play or display on your family's tree.
If themed builds and minifigures are what you're after, you might like the LEGO City Advent Calendar instead.

Ruined the experience for my daughter
on December 10, 2018
Posted by: RogerKang
with no minfig, no animals, no accessories and no playable aspects at all this is a total miss. my 4year old daughter is so turned off this so far that she doesnt rush to open it. actually she doesnt open them any more 8 days in and either me or my son open hers now. this was a horrible purchase and i am deeply disappointed. she asked everyday where are my people while her brother with his star wars calendar right beside hers has racked up 3 minifigs already. fine say you wanted to try something different, then make a different calendar for that and not experiment with this. she was so looking forward to this for months since we bought the calendar and now i get to see disappointment on her face if she actually decides to open the day....

Gives it away
on December 6, 2018
Posted by: LegoForwholefamily
I get these for my kids every year. My daughter has always enjoyed the LEGO friends versions in the past.
This year the box opens differently. The flap does not “set the stage” as done previously. Therefore right from the start my daughter was disappointed. Then, on the box, many of the “surprises” are shown! Again, my daughter is disappointed as the mystery is gone.
I feel the overall idea this year is great, that they all are ornaments. However, the setup should have some imagination put into it. Feel the LEGO crew was short shighted with the box design this year.

NO MINIFIGURES
on December 9, 2018
Posted by: Ap1985
This is the 4th friends advent calendar I have purchased for my daughter. She was disappointed that after 9 days there were no minifigures from friends in the set. Because I dont like to ruin surprises, I did not look online to see if there were any beforehand, and now she is disappointed because there are no minfigs for the first time ever. My daughter is pretty upset because she has not found any minifigures yet in the spaces, so I plan to go go buy a couple online for her to find in a couple of the days so she is not utterly disappointed. Thanks for tarnishing a annual tradition. Not because I dont get any minifigures, but because I had to see the disappointment in my daughters face each day she did not get one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I regret choosing this for my daughter
on December 2, 2018

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.

Imagination is lost
on December 5, 2018
Posted by: GirlFromMarz
We have purchased every Lego Friends advent calendar and this is the first year we are disappointed. There are no Friends in this set. There are no pets in this set. There is no scene to build and interact with. It’s a new ornament to build each day. They don’t even come with a string or hook to hang them on the tree. My daughter is so disappointed. Not what I expected from Lego. Will be looking closely at future sets before purchasing.
