Recommendation: yes 5 / 5

This is a creative advent calendar with an added element of STEM learning built in. Kids will enjoy building LEGO mini figures while also getting excited about the mystery in each box.

Recommendation: meh 4.6 / 5 from 1113 reviews

This review is for the Friends calendar specifically. I wish the reviews weren't aggregated for all three sets.I get this advent calendar for my daughter every year. This is the first year I can recall (and I may be wrong) where it doesn't come with a minifig/Friend. Sure she has tons of minifigs that she can use with these things, but opening the minifig on day 1 and then using it with the rest of the set is one of her favorite parts. I suspect she's going to be a little disappointed. I am disappointed with LEGO's decision to not include a figurine in this set.

Recommendation: no 74 / 100 by Tom

The 2018 City Advent Calendar fared a little better than its 2017 predecessor in terms of my review. Last year, it earned 69%, so we are seeing a 5% increase. We got more bricks this year, which contributed to better overall value for the calendar, but I was generally less impressed with the builds. One major saving grace was the nicely designed toy robot. There was another drop in the number of Minifigures included in the set as well, which I am not thrilled about. Less Minifigures leaves me feeling like it's lower quality, especially since there were no specially themed characters. Do I still recommend the advent calendars? Without a doubt. Despite the issues that I have with them, it is still fun to get a little LEGO® build everyday.
