The third day of the LEGO Advent calendars gives us a nice little fireplace (City), a bunny on a disc sled on a bunny slope (Friends), and some Star Wars spaceship which Jay says is “The Phantom” from that Rebels show. Christmas Build-Up‘s third model is a little puppy I think, and with the leftover parts I made a little red and white airplane.

Advent 2017 Day 2
The Advent calendars continue today with three new models: City gives us a kid on a snowboard; Friends gives yesterday’s figure a snowmobile to ride (standing up!); and Star Wars gives us a minifigure with a gun and really cool hair. For the Christmas Build-Up model, we get a baby peacock, and I built a MOC of a snowplow.

Advent 2017 Day 1
The time has come once more for my daily series of posts featuring the LEGO Advent calendars! This year we have once more the same three themes – City, Friends, and Star Wars – and like last year there is a 24-in-1 “Christmas Build-Up” set 40253. The latter was a freebie that you got in November for making a $100 purchase from LEGO – it’s no longer available from them, but you may find them on Amazon. (The Advent calendars may be sold out at your LEGO store as well, but using the Amazon links above helps support this blog and is most appreciated.)

Advent 2016 Day 24
Merry Christmas! It’s December 24th, the last day of the Advent Calendars, and Christmas Eve. Our final entries are Santa Claus (City), a baby polar bear stalking a fish (Friends), and Snowbacca (Star Wars). The final model from Christmas Build-Up is also Santa Claus, with an assortment of gifts. I built a sleigh and Rudolph with the leftover parts.
Advent 2016 Day 23
Day 23 of the Advent calendars – just one more to go – gives us two sleighs (City and Star Wars) and a snowman (Friends). For Christmas Build Up, I realized today I screwed up a week ago and each model since the 14th has been off by one day! So today I made up for it by building Day 14, and then used leftovers to build a MOC of a kid on a sled.
Advent 2016 Day 22
Today is Day 22 and we get a dog and its feed trough (City), a table (City), an Imperial Shuttle (Star Wars), and a snowman (Build-Up). With the leftover parts I built a green lizard.
Advent 2016 Day 21
Happy Winter Solstice everyone! Day 21 gives us a Christmas Tree (City), something weird (Friends), a stormtrooper (Star Wars), and two little birds (Christmas Build Up). I built a larger bird with the leftover parts.
Advent 2016 Day 20
Day 20 is here already! Today we get gifts from City, a BBQ from Friends, a speeder bike from Star Wars, and a sleighload of gifts from Christmas Build Up. I used leftover parts to build a little black kitten.
