City Advent Calendar - Day 10
Posted by CapnRex101,
Yesterday's figure sporting a reindeer costume was probably my favourite item in the calendar thus far, so I hope day ten introduces an equally appealing accessory for the minifigure.
Let's open door number ten and see...
Remote control cars and other vehicles have appeared in LEGO City Advent Calendars several times and this specific design is very familiar, using black skateboard wheels connected to clips and a 1x2 curved slope on top. This colour scheme is unique though and the shape is attractive, so I cannot fault revisiting an already successful design for an RC car.
Overall - Something completely new would have been ideal, but this is a good-looking car.

Honestly, the blue half-circle jumper is probably the most interesting thing about this model.
A solid model. It’d be better if the wheels spun freely, but at this size it’s totally reasonable to just have a static thing one can slide around.

That, and the clear 1x2 curved slope, at least for me personally. I’m not particularly used to seeing it in trans-clear.
That's cool and such a pretty build. It reminds me of an Octane in Rocket League!
We used to get two of these in one day. Wow! Lego cost-cutting is hitting the ACs hard this year.
ACs are a chance to inspire children with the spirit of the season, to attract new customers, to make relatives passing by say 'Wow! That's neat!'
The only thing someone would say passing by these calendars is, 'Boy! That cheap.' Shame on you, Lego. You're sooooooo stupid.
I know this is supposed to be a generic RC car, but it really reminds me of 8369-2 .
That is a cool RC car.

Yeah, it's pretty cool.
I am so glad that I have the City Advent calendar this year. I also have the Star Wars Calendar and that leaves a lot to be desired.
