Official LEGO Advent Calendars – December 10

Every day until December 24, Brick Fanatics takes a look at the gifts in the LEGO CITY, LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Friends Advent Calendars for 2016

advent-73

Presumably wrapping up our venture into the world of hockey today, our little player gets an opponent. Sporting the same stick, this time with a pink helmet, the minifigure is the female equivalent of December 8.  

advent-69

A genuine build is found today in Friends. This perfect little piano includes a printed music sheet and is just the right size for a mini-doll. Such a well designed little build is a welcome improvement in this calendar.

advent-71

This Venator Class ship from the Clone Wars era is great source material, and a well scaled build. The shape and colour have been perfectly captured.  

Each day, we will compare the three builds and pick the best.

advent-75

Each gift is great today, but the Friends build just edges it as a delightful surprise.

CITY: 3

FRIENDS: 2

When I was 3 years old my dad bought home 6659 TV Camera Crew as a gift — he had no idea what he had just unleashed. Three decades and no dark age later, I am still going strong. My love of LEGO led me to a career in Civil Engineering and I am now raising three budding LEGO lovers with my lovely wife who is, bless her, a huge supporter of my brick addiction. When not writing for Brick Fanatics or fulfilling my duties as the U.S. Editor of Blocks Magazine I enjoy collecting, MOCing, exhibiting, as well as running, climbing and home improvement.
