Advent Calendar Reviews
Posted by CapnRex101,
It is the 30th of November so that can only mean we are almost ready to start cracking open our LEGO Advent Calendars! Every year we try to bring you daily reviews of the Advent Calendar gifts and that tradition will continue.
However, this year we will be structuring things a little differently, with LostInTranslation bringing you reviews of the Friends Advent Calendar each day and me providing reviews of the City and Star Wars calendars. We are hoping to consistently publish them at about the same time every day so you can avoid spoilers if you wish:
City - 10:00am
Friends - 1:00pm
Star Wars - 6:00pm
If you would rather not see the reviews at all, you can uncheck 'Advent Countdown' in your news preferences.
Prepare for a busy month...

I've got one today :D
Looking forward to it :)
Thanks for these reviews!
I haven't bought an advent calendar in years, but I decided to finally cave in and buy the City one, this year. I'm looking forward to it.
Don't have one... yet. Looking forward as usual! :-)
After watching the Star Wars 7 teaser trailer, I couldn't help myself and I cracked open my Star Wars advent calendar. Only did the first 10, but it was hard to stop.
I wont get to use my advent calendar until about the 18th or 19th this year. I already know whats in them , but I look forward to the reviews to see what people are going to do with the pieces.
It seems like the little versions of things would make a great addition to the Grand Emporium. Instead of the toys, sort of a rotational/seasonal thing.
Sold out everywhere :( I waited too late this year.
I like this trend of one each daily instead of one Friends and one alternating. Are these not meant to be started until December 1?? Advent did start today.
I like using these to supplement the winter village stuff. Year by year, the population grows!
Awesome, I'm getting the city one this year. :)
The kids will be getting their's tomorrow morning. Not saying anything specific but 8 was disappointed in a few of the days in the Friends calender.
Great idea! Looking forward to it! :-)
ah! I need to get one before tomorrow!? *gulp*
Good luck trying to find one now. :(
I look forward to this countdown every year (not joking!).
If you can't wait and want to see into the future :P Being in Australia the 1st is already here and we have begun our first day review. http://ozbricknation.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/lego-41040-friends-60063-city-75056.html
@Legomaniac I did the same thing , ended up getting my nephews ones from Germany as the costs were cheaper with shipping than anyone wanted from the states.
I'm in China, so 8 hours ahead...
Would love to show you pics of what I get... However, I am using last years (which I brought back with me in the summer), as I can't get one over here...
i do a santa run. santa yoda is still my fav. =) tks so much for the reviews. glad to have friends done this year as i get all three.
Missed out on calendars. Left it until the 29th, so completely lost this year's. After having one for the last two Christmas's, it's a shame. :-(
This'll be my 5th starwars calender,can't wait! The figs don't usually disapoint and after seeing the pics,they won't this year either. Love the xmas tree droid and Darth Santa!
Same here - Left it a little late and now sold out everywhere (though have £20 towards other Lego so all not lost really) - Strange though as last years and years before were still available even into the following year.
Thanks for this, I did not know you could uncheck anything from the news feed. We can go back to having spoiler free advent calenders and still enjoy Bricksets usual articles :-D
