4 out of 5 stars Nice idea.   January 2, 2009
razz murray (Western , Wisconsin United States)
I bought two of these for my girls, so each could have their own to open during the month of December. I did like all the legos and my girls were thrilled to get these. I think next year I would only buy one and just alternate days between my two girls. It's a little pricey.


5 out of 5 stars Great Fun   December 31, 2008
J. Pruett (San Jose, CA USA)
My three-year old loved this! He would come into our room every morning and say, "What door do we open today, Daddy?" The pattern seems to be opening one mini-figure on day 1, then the next 2-3 days opening parts of an accessory that completes the mini-figure. For example, one day we opened a Lego chef, then the following day a small table with pizzas, and the third day a brick oven for baking the pizzas. The only drawback: no Santa Claus figure! But we did get Frosty the Snowman.


5 out of 5 stars Fun Advent Calendar!   December 31, 2008
K. McKnight (Fairfax, VA USA)
My sister turned me on to the Lego Advent Calendar. My son just turned 9 and LOVES to get this every year. It's a great pre-Xmas gift for any child who loves Legos. They have a lot of fun opening the windows every day to see what type of Lego goodie they get. I highly recommend it!


5 out of 5 stars Not Christmas without it....   December 31, 2008
T. Coin
I used to get advent calendars when I was a kid, you know the kind with the not so great tasting chocolates in them. We tried to start our son's tradition with those and that didn't go over so well. All hail to LEGO for this!! We love it! He loves it! It's somthing for the wee ones to OPEN and play with every day leading up to Christmas. Better than an old piece of chocolate!


5 out of 5 stars so much fun..   December 29, 2008
Alicja (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I did get this for my 5 year old nephew.. It was a great buy!! my sister said that her son could stop playing with the calendar, couldn't wait till next day to open the next window.. Every window has a toy, but you have to put togeter so it make even more fun... I will definetlley buy this calendar for my little one when she will be old enough to put together.. So much fun.. Worth the money!!!!!
