In general, the 2022 LEGO City Advent Calendar is an improvement over last year’s calendar, especially in terms of better builds that are more suitable for younger children and more variety and creativity in the builds. nothing we say in this years article will be a spoiler as unfortunately every single build in this setis already shown on the box so there are no surprises, with Day 1’s build actually having the instructions show on the cover.

Speaking of Easter eggs, one door holds a crate of items from past Guardians of the Galaxy adventures, including a prosthetic eye, Yondu’s arrow, the Power Stone containment orb and what might be an Anulax Battery from the sequel. I honestly think this is one of the prettiest and best advent calendars you’ll find for teens this year.The current line-up of these seasonal sets ranges from Star Wars to CITY with Marvel being the newest addition to the annual range. The Advent Calendars were released on the 1st of September and will retire at the end of the year, so make sure to pick one up before they are gone! Do note that I’m based in Melbourne, Australia (GMT +11) so we’re ahead of most of the world(except New Zealand) so to avoid spoilers, try to come back to this post after you’ve opened your window and built the daily model especially if you’re located in other time zones. Of the three fins, the top has the same grey fin that they do in the shows while the two bottom fins are the 140 Earth Blue Dark Blue color.

Through looking up information about the minifigures, I found out they are both characters in LEGO City Adventures, a computer-animated Netflix TV show. The cover features a large, open photo album with characters and objects zooming to life, further reinforcing the fact that this collection references the canon as a whole.I love the music from GotG and although I couldn’t get hold of the soundtrack they released on cassette tape at the time I watched GotG I actually bought a tape deck, hooked it up to our surround sound dvd player and recorded Awesome Mix Vol 1 onto a blank cassette from my laptop so I could listen back to it on all its crackly glorious-ness.
