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

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.  

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.

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.

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