Marvel Advent Calendar - Day 21

It could be a toboggan of sorts XD otherwise im kinda okay with the partial build as we have rocket from earlier. As a playset if i were playing with the builds as we went i could pretend he hasnt gotten it fully made yet.

Yeah, honestly, I don't mind the occasional build that lasts over two days. Most Advent calendar models are tiny (barely enough to compare to the magazine gift foil packs), so to get a substantial build is worth the occasional extra day.

The City Advent Calendar from 2011, 7553 had two multi-day builds that each step were less complete than this one, I think: a tiny police car and a jail cell. The car on the first day was some plates on a chassis with 4 wheels and a steering wheel.

I think this one will actually take 3 days to complete looking at the side of the box (Day 1 - chassis; Day 2 - wings; Day 3 - trailer/cargo area). I don't mind this in principle but that's because I'm building this myself. I would imagine that somewhere out there are families with kids sharing these calendars by opening doors on alternate days, which might cause some arguments over these multi-day builds.

Finally something Jurassic World-like and not eldritch again!
This carausel pod shaped like a bird looking down with red wings looks a bit crude, but at least it's complete.
Just imagine having a calender that is not only as insanely un-Jurassic World and... just insane. But imagine it having _another_ multi-day build. Just after we got the surprise addition of eye-studded tentacles to an eldritch Bart Simpson ent god and the multiple days needed to depict the weirdly specific scene of a one-eyed-one-legged robot dinosaur biting a hybrid rabbit in the shoulder while burning a turkey from fire coming from its behind.

In comparison, this purely standalone carausel pod is quite a breath of fesh air.

@vizzitor:
It’s not a matter of how complete this is. It’s that they stretched out Rocket cooking a turkey to five days, and Groot took two days to sprout branches. If you exclude multi-day builds past the first day, or straight filler, this Advent Calendar has less than two weeks of real content.

I think this looks so... random and unfinished.

Yeah this isn't a Parks And Rec calendar anymore.

The Marvel Advent calendar has been lackluster at best. I opened all of the remaining doors the other day as I was done with this calendar. This one should have been just Marvel mini figures. Fingers crossed that the one for next year will be better. I

"Upon finishing this, I immediately thought, "Oh boy, the Brickset commenters aren't gonna be happy with this one."

Personally I'm not bothered, as I generally try not to expect anything - these are still commercial advent calendars after all, home of 24 Days of Waxy Chocolate. I just take it all in stride."

"You are technically correct, the best kind of correct."

Ahh... there's nothing like the consumer/designer fear over the dreaded fan base reviews. We're so harsh and snarky. I hope the designer has a wonderful holiday. But, he/she deserves a lil bit of coal for this dumpster fire, parts cheap, crap-designed, stretched-thin AC!

As Dave pointed out, there's almost no 'there' in there. This AC is soooooooo bad, that it's rounded back to the third stage of comedy: 1. Initial hillarity at the incredible ineptitude; 2. Rage at obviously insulting levvel of cheapness, greed, and ineptitude; and finally, 3. Overwhelming hillarity at the consequential sum total of incompetence and resulting gratitude that we didn't have to personally experience it.

The last is especially pertinent if your spouse is the one who demanded she get this AC, you have raised a Lego-crtical child (Check!!) to laugh with, and have the awesome HP and SW ACs- which have really done well this year!

I can't walk through my living room without laughing and smiling. The Tool Rack of Ineptitude. It should become a Lug award for Worst in Show! Thank you Lego™?!

@StyleCounselor:
On second thought, it’s entirely fitting that an Advent Calendar based on the MCU to focus solely on setting up the next setup. All promise and no delivery.
