I agree with the other reviewers. I am a long time LEGO fan and somewhat serious collector. I have been buying LEGO Advent calendars for my kids since 2005. Every year they seem to get a little stranger and more expensive. The advent calendar really is a $20 set as another reviewer suggested.
My main gripes come from two different areas. 1) They spoil the surprise by showing every model on the outside of the box. Good for parents, I suppose, but horrible for kids. 2) The theme for the past 2 years has been very strange. Last year it was a cops and robbers theme... for Christmas! Three of the days didn't even contain a complete model, they just had sections of a jail house. It was pretty lame. This year they focus on fire fighters. Why? What do fire fighters have to do with Christmas?
I love the idea of opening a tiny LEGO set every day, but I can't stand the theme and I can't stomach the price.

Seriously, isn't the fun of it, the surprise?! You put photos of it all on the box. It ruins it. I have to figure out how to permanently wrap the thing so my kids' advent surprises aren't spoiled. If you want the parents to see, make some kind of wrapper we can take off.

I have purchased a few of these these every year, because the kids love them, but honestly, it is a $20 item, not worth near $40. I tried to open the wallet this year, but I had the same feeling when I watched the Grinch steal the last can of Who-Hash. Every year the price keeps climbing. We are starting new holiday traditions this year, beginning with a Lego boycott. Shame on greedy Lego!.

A little pricey, but my son loved it.
Like many legos, the advent calendar was a little expensive for what you get inside the box. I assume we are paying for design cost on these little things, but my son absolutely... Read more
