About this deal

The gunmetal grey cups are nice, and we do get a printed orange slice tile, but other than that, this is really underwhelming. And here’s a look at Star-Lord’s alternate expression, which really, is just the default Christ Pratt face at this stage.

On Day 2 of the GOTG Advent Calendar, we get some gifts for Star-Lord, a wrapped present and a new walkman as well! Not bad from Day 10, and with so many cool and unique spaceship designs to draw from, I sure hope this won’t be the last micro-build we see! 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.This year, I’ll be counting down 4 Advent Calendars – Star Wars, Harry Potter, Friends and the GOTG one. Here’s the front of the Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar, which folds out to form a playmat of sorts to display all the mini builds. Even the 3-day ship feels like it should’ve been kept to 2 days at the max, but this has been quite poor, especially when you compare it against the Star Wars, Harry Potter and even Friends Advent Calendars which have largely been excellent. We should also get a glimpse of the LEGO City, Harry Potter and LEGO Friends Advent calendars soon!

At 18, my daughter is too old for those advent calendars, but still too young for the thousands of gin/wine/beer themed advents. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to help her celebrate the countdown to Christmas with her own advent calendar! So what are the best advent calendars for teens in 2023? She does make an appearance of sorts, though. 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar’s minifigure highlights include two seasonal variants for Drax and Nebula, both of whom are wearing a festive sweater – much like Iron Man in 2021’s 76196 The Avengers Advent Calendar. 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. We FINALLY get a decent build out of the GOTG Advent Calendar with Day 18’s sensational Milano Spaceship. 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.The holiday season is fast approaching, and that means new LEGO Advent Calendars! New for 2022, we now have our very first detailed look at two new sets – 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar and 75340 Star Wars Advent Calendar, which should be released on 1 September 2022, as is tradition. Hogwarts Express and Platform 9 3/4– This iconic location is well reconstructed at microscale, and is easily identified due to the signature red of the scarlet steam engine, The Hogwarts Express. I think it’s fun that this tiny model is included this year, given that a much larger version was released earlier this year as #76405 Hogwarts Express. I would love to see the two side by side! Here we are with Day 11 of the LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar with a Mining Pod and Escape pod!

Maddy– This minifigure is a middle-school-aged girl in the Netflix show, with ponytails on her head and two joyful faces on her reversable head. She wears a bright orange sweater over a blue and white striped shirt, and she holds a gold lantern in one hand. Build excitement for Christmas with daily surprises from the 2022 LEGO® Star Wars™ Advent Calendar! Find your favorite characters in seasonal outfits, mini build vehicles, scenes and equipment, plus fun accessories. There’s something cool to discover behind every door, so you can relive epic Star Wars scenes and role-play your own festive adventures. LEGO: Available from September 1, 2022 — LEGO Marvel 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar build —Like lots of teenage girls, my daughter loves scented candles! She usually has several on the go in her bedroom, with another set of candles for the bathroom. So I love the idea of this Yankee Candle advent calendars for teenage girls. The image doesn’t spoil ALL of the contents, but in addition to C-3PO and R2-D2 in ugly christmas sweaters, we also get a beach Darth Vader, Snow Trooper, Battle Droid and a Clone Commander, which looks suspiciously like the one from the UCS Republic Gunship. Santiago – I am not familiar with the two young children featured in this year’s calendar, but I have to wonder if The LEGO Group is using this set as an opportunity to introduce us to the main characters for the rumored LEGO Friends reboot in the next year or two. I would be thrilled to see a young character that likely identifies as male in the core storyline if that happens, making LEGO Friends into a more inclusive product line for all kids. Either way, this is a cute little dude with bushy 192 Reddish Brown hair, the slightly darker 18 Nougat Flesh skin, and a bee logo on his 21 Bright Red Red shirt. Day 15 is a Candy Cane. That’s it. A large Candy Cane decoration. I guess it’s Christmas after all, and there blow-up Candy Cane decorations in the GOTG Holiday Special, but this could pop out of the City or LEGO Friends Advent Calendar, and it wouldn’t be out of place at all. Without wasting any time, let’s get started with the 2022 Marvel Avengers Advent Calendar countdown! Day 1
