Friends Advent Calendar - Day 16
Posted by MeganL,
Yesterday we had an excellent little build with a sewing machine along with a Santa hat. Hopefully we keep the festive builds coming as we open today's door.
It's a train! This is a standard build that we see in City Advent Calendars, but I'm delighted to see one here. I love the use of roller skates for wheels, and also that this is in decidedly non-Friends colours. Bonus points that we get both the engine and car in today, as opposed to stretching it across two days.
I really enjoy builds like this in advent calendars!

That is lovely.
And exactly the sort of build that we *should* be getting in the City calendars, as well.
It feels weird to say it, but even the Marvel calendar, this year, is comparing favourably against the City calendar.
And -- first one notwithstanding -- the Marvel calendars are typically dumpster fires.
Trains are nice.
The colour scheme feels exactly like the sort of classic wooden toys you'd get, nice choice
Excellent build. They've really knocked it out of the park again with this! It even hinges in the middle and has texture!
I like trai-
Very minor nitpick (less of a nitpick and more curiosity, really), but I wonder why only two of the three colors here are seasonal.
Nice train build reminiscent of wooden toys. Full marks.

Because one of the Friends stole the Spidey-Train and threw a coat of green paint on and hoped no one would notice.

RGB, but in the wrong order?

"Darn it, I needed that, so I could have a better calendar!"

Peter Quill's fault.
I like trains
Really like this build! Friends is definitely looking like one of the stronger Advent Calendars this year.
Also agree with @MeganL, glad this wasn't separated into two different days.
