Full Set Review
Best
It’s a tie with Day 5’s plane and the combo Day 22 and 23 build of the Space Shuttle. They are great models, and fun to swoosh around.
Worst
I think it might have to be Day 1’s remote control cars. We’ve seen similar builds before, and it’s the most simple. Sure they look good, but so does everything! It’s a shame to have to choose one, but that’s the rules. I don’t set them – oh, wait, yes I do.
Final Score
Elements: 7
Some good parts – not overly exciting, or completely unique, but still good.
Swooshability: 7
The toys are great fun to swoosh around, but there isn’t that much else.
Build: 7
It is all very simple, but tricky enough for kids to get a challenge and a lot of enjoyment.
Design / Appearance: 9
I always like building City stuff and this is no exception. They look great, and the toys are perfect for a toy store modular down the track.
Value for Money / Collectibility: 8
Some good parts for the cost, but collectibility is where it’s at. Advent Calendars only come round once a year!
Overall: 38/50
All done! Merry Christmas everyone. May your tree have lots of LEGO underneath it!
