LEGO 76231 Super Heroes Guardians Of The Galaxy Advent Calendar

Product Information

We’ll pass no judgment regarding the current status of your Christmas shopping, but if you’re thinking of grabbing an advent calendar either for yourself or a loved one, now is time to do it. The traditional chocolate calendars are all well and good, but there’s an advent calendar for everyone, and we’ve already rounded up the best alcohol, coffee, tea, LEGO, beauty and Funko-based offerings.

This is the correct orientation of the build, so the instructions on the flap are upside down, but you should remember these pesky drones from the prison break scene in the first Guardians movie, and are especially memorable as we get the first “I am Groot” from Groot as he takes a whole swarm of them down.

Day 13 of the LEGO GOTG Advent Calendar begins to try and make amends for the last few days with a Mantis minifigure! And what LEGO Advent set would be complete without some microscale vehicles? There are five small ships in total, including microscale versions of Star Lord’s original ship, the Milano, the team’s upgraded M-Class Benatar, and Yondu’s Laser Drill pod from the second movie.

LEGO Harry Potter advent calendar: Harry Potter enthusiasts can find magical surprises like characters, items, and settings from the wizarding world in this calendar. The Star Wars Advent Calendar ( see it at Walmart) is mostly spacecraft and droid builds from the movies. My favorite was a miniature AT-ST Walker, which the designers depicted in perfect minimalist fashion. I loved the Advanced TIE Fighter, which again captured the key design elements of the build in a very spare, suggestive manner. And in terms of Christmas-themed accessories, you cannot get cuter than R2-D2 in a Christmas sweater. This year, we have a special twist with the Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar, which is a direct tie-in to the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which is now streaming on Disney+ As an avid LEGO fan, our writer Tammy loved researching and discovering all the fun festive features, characters and mini-builds in this year’s collection of the best LEGO advent calendars. Tammy is committed to giving truthful and unbiased advice so that parents can make the most informed purchasing decisions- when it comes to seasonal buys for the family. Why you should trust usThere’s a mix of miniature ships including the Milano and Benatar behind some of the doors, and smaller ships referencing other films too. In the potential context of the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, these could easily be toys and their builds are surprisingly challenging for how few pieces they use. That’s no bad thing, as it helps extend the building time for select days. Build up to Christmas with the LEGO® Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar! Open a different door each day of December to discover a surprise gift. There are 6 minifigures waiting to be revealed, plus mini builds and accessories. As the big day approaches, bring the gifts together to recreate favourite scenes and Marvel adventures of your own. This year’s LEGO City advent calendar is for ages five and up, however, some reviewers supervise whilst their younger kids (around ages three to four) build some sections. Do LEGO advent calendars sell out? Consider your budget: LEGO advent calendars vary in price, so choose one that fits your budget while providing the desired features. Some older advent calendars from previous years are cheaper, so keep this in mind if you’re on the hunt for a bargain.

Day 8 is a bit of a nothingburger, even if it’s reasonable festive. We get a complete LEGO Turkey, a stand/table, and some flames to roast it.Based on the Milano Spaceship from the first Guardians of the Galaxy, there is some excellent part usage here to translate the Milano’s bird-like silhouette to this microscale build. The Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar ( see it at Best Buy) is based almost entirely on the Holiday Special. So, if you or the person you're buying this for hasn't seen it, you need to do so. Otherwise, many of the calendar's builds, such as the massive candy cane, will be lost on you. The minifigure is the same as the one found in 76913 The Guardians’ Ship, and also comes with a blue (dark azure) Fender Stratocaster-esque electric guitar. The only bright point is the minifigure lineup, in which you can get the entire Guardians of the Galaxy team (minus Gamora) for a fairly accessible price, as well as Drax and Nebula in their festive ugly Christmas sweaters.

Consider the Theme: LEGO offers a variety of advent calendar themes, from LEGO City to LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Friends, and more. Choose a theme that aligns with your family’s preferences. And here’s a look at Star-Lord’s alternate expression, which really, is just the default Christ Pratt face at this stage. It’s a shame to see that LEGO advent calendars still can’t escape their usual tropes even when based on a source material as vast as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though it’s only one day in what is otherwise a great variety of models. — LEGO Marvel 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar characters — The Potter set also has phenomenal mini-figures. You get a Moaning Myrtle. You get a Neville Longbottom, complete with the sword of Godric Gryffindor. Star-Lord, the not-as-charismatic-as-he-thinks leader of the Guardians, comes with his laser blasters and jets strapped to the sides of his boots (made from gold roller skates). The mix tapes his mom made for him are represented by a new tile print on both a larger stereo and a smaller portable radio. The stereo has a pair of detached speakers, while a gift box containing a pair of dark tan headphones gives Star-Lord a way to listen to the smaller radio.Opening up the lid of the present revealed a pair of headphones fitting snugly inside the crate. You actually get an extra pair which is a bit of a nice touch. Now this is more like it! On Day 17, we finally get something festive AND related to GOTG – a snowman wearing Thanos armour! It’s a clever twist on the way Thanos hangs up his armour on a scarecrow, when he retire to the farm after snapping half the universe’s life away.
