2016 Lego Advent calendars
Yesterday, I bought two Lego advent calendars – the City Advent calendar and the Friends Lego Advent calendar.
So for anyone in doubt (like Clair02), Lego is definitely doing advent calendars again in 2016!
My kids don’t know we have them yet but I’m sure they will be very happy on 1 December when they come out of the cupboard! I hadn’t really planned to get them yet but I saw them both in the shop on the weekend and cheaper than I’ve seen them before so…
I especially couldn’t resist when I saw how Christmassy the City calendar this year is – featuring Santa in his sleigh won votes from me
The question…
So now the question is whether or not I do a daily review of the calendars this year?
Last year, I did an (almost) daily review of the calendars which was fun. But would it better to just do it every second day, or once a week? What would you prefer to read?
Lego Advent calendar boxes give a sneak peak of what’s inside – and the Friends calendar has special surprises on a few days, too.
These advent calendars are great, but it’s the first time I am hearing about a Lego one. I think it’s a great idea as kids love a new surprise every day.
I didn’t even know these existed before today! They seem very interesting. What’s inside of them? Mini figures? Or is it a a few small Lego blocks? I would enjoy daily reviews!
Hi Eduguy, they are a lot of fun – we had some last year. Inside a box each day is some Lego, it may be a mini-fig or a little set like a Christmas tree, a chair for Santa, a toy train or a cupcake stall.
I would love to have one of these. It would bring back all sorts of memories for me, with the legos and with the advent calendars. I still do them for tradition, but they are missing something now.
Why not get one for yourself then Larry? it is fun to see what comes out of the box each day, and like Lego usually does, the little sets are detailed and have easy-to-follow instructions.
That’s also a good idea. We associate these advent calendars with kids, but many adults like them too. Sure, the themes might be different, but people might enjoy them regardless of the age.
