Product Information

For food, I love that they also incorporated the crabs with those little red horn pieces, that lie on top of some lettuce. How about a little patience and understanding that sometimes things happen that are out of our control, like computer issues.

Me and my brother (im 12 and hes 9) have been doing these advent calendars and reading your blog for 4 years now and we always love building and then reading what you have to say. LEGO has put out a lot of micro build trains during the years very similar to this but the proportions this time is close to perfect. Poe Dameron – My second favorite minifig inclusion is Poe Dameron with his matching BB-8 Christmas sweater. LEGO® construction toys meet the highest industry standards to ensure every brick is consistent and compatible, connecting and pulling apart perfectly every time – no magic required! On occasion, when I was a bit confused by the diagram on the box and struggling to put all the bricks where they go I would look at your pictures and easily figure it out.

I’ve seen several variations on this and have a loaded pit full of the original ones from 20 years ago, I think this version is really well done and makes nice use of parts in reddish brown. We start Day 1 of the Harry Potter Advent Calendar with none other than the Boy Who Lived, all dressed up in his best Wizard robes. At the very least, in addition to the couch and gramophone, it’s now another model that isn’t a micro-model, so can be used for Harry and Cho to interact with! In addition, there have been a couple of themes that have showed up one year, Castle in 2008 followed by Pirates in 2009.

The LEGO® Harry Potter™ Advent Calendar (76390) contains 24 daily gifts for kids to reveal throughout December’s build-up to Christmas. On Jay’s Brick Blog it is Australian time so while it says 1:22 PM for your morning it really is morning in your time zone. As the blog has readers from New Zealand to Hawaii, spanning most time zones, I’ll like last year keep the title photo without any spoilers – just open the link when you’re ready to see what the calendar had to offer each particular day. I remember reading the Philosopher’s Stone when it first came out and have been enchanted ever since.The face and hair combination for this figure unfortunately sports no differences despite the scene however. As the big day approaches, kids can combine the toys to recreate Harry’s amazing journey from Privet Drive to Hogwarts™: the Hogwarts letters arriving through the fireplace; collecting gold from Gringotts’ vault; picking up Harry’s school supplies; and meeting Hedwig™ the owl. A fitting finale to this year’s Yule Ball/Goblet of Fire-themed Advent Calendar, day 24 gives us the Triwizard Cup! We partner with Rakuten Advertising, who may collect personal information when you interact with our site.

More Yule Ball-themed decorations to really build out the scene, and I do like that we get 2 more companion trees to go alongside the larger primary Christmas Tree! Padma Patil is featured in her Yule Ball dress – a magical take on a Sari to pay homage to Padma’s Indian heritage and culture. They were released on the 1st of September and will retire at the end of the year—make sure to pick one up before they are gone! This advent calendar provided a good mix of new minifigures and minifigures from expensive sets making it an inexpensive way to build up your Harry Potter line of minifigures.

Entire lineup of LEGO Star Wars 25th anniversary set includes midi-scale Millenniun Falcon, Tantive IV and the Invisible Hand! The micro buildings are built mostly the same way so when ‘binge’ building for a review like this it gets quite boring. For this review, I'll try to get into the mindset of someone opening the gifts each day, as well as share my thoughts on the set as a whole, including for us adult fans. Here’s a look at her alternate face, and back printing – shame that they didn’t think to print on the back of her legs to match the great design on the front.

Whether you are a fan of the licensed themes or not, the advent calendars are a great way to work towards the holiday season while building some cool LEGO models. Thanks so much for following on the countdown – whether you have been following the Advent Countdown for years, or halfway through, I hope you’ve enjoyed the journey! Hopefully this review helps provide information that will allow you to make an informed decision about which advent calendar to pick up for your friends, family or yourself.Darth Vader – My pick for the top minifig in this set is easily the Darth Vader with his Death Star Christmas sweater which is just as cool looking. Can I say I absolutely LOVE how the models in this calendar are based on obscure scenes and shots like this, where Harry is lounging on the couch in the Gryffindor Common Room, trying to crack the puzzle behind the egg that’s a clue for the next Triwizard challenge?
