Each morning leading up to Christmas day, Brick Fanatics is cracking open all three official LEGO advent calendars to see what goodies are found within
Christmas is approaching and to celebrate the festive season, Brick Fanatics is opening up the LEGO advent calendars each day before sharing our thoughts on what is found behind the doors. Feel free to join us and share your own comments when opening up those advent calendar doors – whether you opted for Star Wars, City or Friends. You can do so on Facebook, Twitter or underneath this very feature.
75184 Star Wars: Luggabeast
Talk about a creature named incredibly literally for its job. The luggabeast seems like an odd choice for inclusion as a micro model due to being a living animal, and its scale is obviously very off. All that can be forgiven due to the amazing parts it contains – azure blue is always welcome and builders can never have too many bars and clips. A modified brick in dark grey with studs on two sides is the icing on this useful parts cake.
60155 City: Snowman
Snowmen have been a staple of advent calendars since the very first one and have varied widely in quality. They are great due to being ready made for placement into a Winter Village display – even this one that scores low on the continuum of snowmen from past calendars. Plain white heads are also always useful, so even disappointing snowman builds have utility.
41326 Friends: Christmas stall
This model suffers from the same curse as our ever growing sleigh train – simplified construction, weak parts and uselessness outside of an advent calendar based display. The LEGO Group has done good winter markets, even as a set a few years ago, so the designers are more than capable of creating market stalls worth having. Perhaps it is just not possible at this scale.
