Subpar this year

We have been buying the Lego advent calendar for 7+ years and have loved them in the past. This year one child picked Star Wars and the other picked City. SW has been great, but City this year has had most days without a build. Some days it’s an animal without any building. Other days it’s a mini fig that builds in three pieces. My son is frustrated that the majority of the days have been non build days, and honestly it’s not worth the price this year. I will never choose City again because of this- it’s like they renamed the advent Friends to be city.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed

We are annual purchasers of the Lego city advent calendar - probably our 5th year and my son is an avid builder. To say he’s been disappointed by this calendar is an understatement. There have been multiple days of no building - a bunny for one of the days, really? Then we get to day 23 and what does he pull out - another nutcracker - the same exact one from day 22. Not cool LEGO. After a 5 year run of these calendars this will likely be our last.
I have been purchasing Lego Advent Calendars for years. This one is by far the worst one I have ever purchased for my kids. No effort was put into designing this Calendar. I really wish Lego would take the time to design a nice advent calendar. I would rather have a couple really good ones than 6 poor ones. I hope that Lego goes back and tries next year. If I were you, I would be ashamed of this.
I bought 3 1 for my son and 2 for my grandsons, they lovethem

Awesome selection of minifigs & accessories

First, I did not "cheat" on the advent calendar. I simply opened it in December 2024 as intended, and then time traveled back to October to write a review.
- Awesome lineup of minifigs. Unlike earlier City calendars, this one has Christmas sweaters and the minifigs give off a much stronger family vibe. - Baby w/ Christmas sweater - Dog w/ Christmas sweater! - New baby carriage - Great lineup of sporty accessories (plus, Uruk-hai swords) - I don't think a City calender has ever been more "on theme" with its assortment of minifigs & pieces. This is my favorite one yet!
I would recommend this to a friend!

for my granddaughters

I bought the lego sets for my granddaughters. We just received them. The girls have not even opened them yet. I know they will love them.
my partner and I look forward to LEGO advent calendars every year, but this one has been so disappointing! :( we’re nearly halfway through the month and there are barely any actual builds, mostly just accessories and mini figs. A dog & a bone? A cat? A baby in a stroller? We’re really hoping what’s left for the rest of the month makes up for it. I don’t mind spending the money but so far this one just wasn’t worth it. Such a bummer, please do better next year!
I have not opened this yet but have had these for several years. The creative tiny builds are above expectations. I love things like a snowball shooter,a catapult, snowmen and trees. Once they included poop for the animal! A shovel was also provided.I am eager to get out of bed to build everyday surprise! I found a calendar at a resell shop. Most of the window doors were intact. Because they are simple builds I was able to see the picture on the window door and use extra Lego pieces I had. I wish they would create a daily calendar for all year!
