Interesting that the Friends calendar this year won’t contain either mini-dolls or animals. Maybe last year’s complaints on poor value for money weighed in the decision.
My thoughts also. Last years’ Friends had several mini-figs and animals. All the girls in my daughter’s 1st grade class got it and loved it! This years looks disappointing. The Star Wars set looks awesome though, I’ll be buying that for myself!
Hmmm.. No special Christmas minifig in the Star Wars calendar. I think this might be the year when I skip it. (Ok, last year’s BB-8 with santa hat was not brilliant either.)
On the friends set: Fabulosity! What a great direction. It turns the genre from a “let’s see what we can play with next” into a wonderful arts and crafts project (i.e. “let’s see what we’re going to hang on the tree today!”). My daughter is going to love this and I can see us putting them all away in a special box with the Christmas decorations to be put up next year again (okay maybe the Piano will stay out for Livi and friends to get the tunes rolling). This is a wonderful idea Lego!
How fun- an ornament to build and put on a tree for each day! The Friends advent might be the first one I buy!
