All about the brick

Recommendation: yes 9 / 10 by Rusty

While there were a few builds that were not as enjoyable, overall the majority was a joy and the format is a winning formula. If I had to pick some highlights I would gravitate to the toy planes, Santa and the toy container ship.

Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 from 50 reviews

This was a really fun set for my 6 year old son. He looked forward every day to opening a new slot and adding to the scene. The figures were very easy to assemble and they look great.

Recommendation: no 4 / 5

Advent calendars featuring toys are fun as kids anticipate building a scene with the characters, and what kid doesn't love getting a new toy every day? Watching the scene come together over the month leading up to the holiday is fun, too.

Recommendation: no 3.56 / 5 from 9 reviews

My son was so excited to open this however at the very end we were all disappointed because there weren't any reindeer to pull Santa's sleigh. How many airplanes does one need in an advent calendar? The story line Is lacking completely and there could have been more Christmas characters instead of randoms.

Recommendation: no 69 / 100 by Tom

I was not really wowed with this year's advent calendars. Star Wars was a complete pass for me. The City calendar came with some good Minifigures, but the builds were a little boring, and had a been-there-done-that feel to them. The value per brick was acceptable, the build-time value was not. But, it was an advent calendar, and gave me a little LEGO in my day for 24 days. Will I buy one again next year? Of course. I really hope for more Minifigures though…
