City Advent Calendar - Day 23
Posted by MeganL,
Yesterday we finished a multi day microbuild. Tomorrow should be a Santa minifgure. I'm guessing today will be another microbuild, but what set will it be?
Oh my goodness! This has to be easily my favourite microbuild in this calendar, and that's not just because it has a festive theme. I absolutely love the micro Rudolph and sleigh. There are even a couple of presents in the sleigh!
Rudolph has been presented very well in just a few pieces, and I'm loving the part selection for just about everything, including the roof tile piece used for his back legs and the gold crown piece for his antlers. The sleigh uses ice skates for its runners and has great use for the red rounded 1x2 piece to show the curves.
If you'd have told me at the beginning of the month that the calendar would have a microbuild theme, this is exactly the kind of build I would have expected. I think it's great, and it's unfortunate there aren't more builds like this in the calendar.

Who would have guessed? A holiday-related build in an advent calendar?! [mind blown]
Adorable! One of the best advent presents l have seen
Wow! This is amazing :D I'm gonna find the parts in my collection and build it myself.
I really hope microbuilds aren't going to be the new normal for the City advent calendar, but I did love today’s Rudolph and sleigh. :)
Rudolph looks a bit crabby...
I’m actually somewhat disappointed there weren’t more buildings to line the streets of the placemat. I know what buildings we got were universally panned here on Brickset, but I rather liked the bank, and my streets just look so empty without them.
It’s cute, but I sort of wish Rudolph was connected to the sleigh.
