LEGO 76196 Super Heroes The Avengers Advent Calendar

Product Information

There’s a LOT going on with the minifigure as Tony Stark also has an alternate face, with the heads up display overlayed across his face in blue, with a more serious expression with Tony baring his teeth. That’s it. Just a bunch of transparent blue bits that you can attach to Iron Man’s hands/feet for more action.

Day 10 of the Marvel Advent Calendar gives us an EDITH Drone, in Spider-Man colours. These will look familiar as they were the Augmented Reality Drones that Mysterio utilised to terrorise people in Spiderman Far From Home. It allows children to uncover daily surprises and engage in endless imaginative play, creating their own superhero adventures using the gifts. The calendar is compatible with other LEGO Marvel sets, providing even more possibilities for superhero action. It serves as a fun pre-Christmas gift that keeps kids entertained as they count down the days until Christmas. Where to buy this advent calendar ? :

More calendar in the same theme?

The Hulkbuster Armor is one of Tony’s most well known suits, designed to go toe to toe against the Incredible Hulk, and this is a great micro version which makes great use of a random assortment of parts!

With the complete gauntlet, you now have virtually unlimited powers, and can snap away half of all life in the universe if you wish! Day 8 of the Marvel Advent Calendar gives another module – this time, a present-wrapping station! There’s a large flat surface for gifts, a pair of scissors, and some red wrapping paper, which expertly makes use of a car door, for great effect. I do wish it could be connected to the other modules in the build, but I understand that it’s more of a micro-build than it is a minifigure-scale one. And that’s it for the first ever Marvel Advent Calendar – despite this being a large Iron Man-themed calendar, I’m sure Thanos is absolutely delighted with the final gift!

Before you begin to assemble the team, you will discover their quinjet, helicarrier, Spider-Man drone and the hub of all their activities, the Avengers tower behind the other windows. Both gifts are colour-coded according to Captain Marvel’s and Hulk’s primary colours, and I like that Hulk’s looks like a giant foot, and also has a loop, so you can use it as a baubel. This was a massive surprise, that LEGO would give us all 6 infinity stones, in their respective sprues so you get 4x of each! These were previously quite rare as the Infinity Stones were scattered across Infinity War sets, which were quite pricey to collect.

Quality guaranteed – LEGO® components meet stringent industry quality standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and easy to build with The burger is the best part of the build, and I like how balanced it is, with a patty, cheese and lettuce. Would be perfect if we had some tomatoes in it too. Jxstise The doctor strange cape tho… Thank god I didn’t pay full price for this cause what a rip. I still can’t get over the fact the one of the days you get a cape and then next you get the mini fig…. My jaw legit DROPPED when I saw that. Lego makes so much money from us and they do something like that, idk if I’ll ever buy an advent calendar again after that. That’s it for Day 5 – I like how playful the Marvel Advent Calendar is, and I’m looking forward to what we get in Day 6! We finally get an ACTUAL build in Day 3 of the LEGO Marvel Advent Calendar, with this wreath on a stand. There’s actually a trans-blue rod that connects the base to the wreath, but my editing went a little wonky and washed it out, so no, it’s not magic (or Pym particles) that is levitating it

Day 16 gives us another pseudo-minifigure – an Iron Legion Snowman, a seasonably appropriate model as we edge closer to Christmas. Here’s the front of the Marvel Advent Calendar folded out – I really like how clean it looks. There are no spoilers here, and instead, you get an illustration of New York City, from a window from the New Avengers Facility located in New York. The Christmas lights are a nice touch here. Apologies that today’s update is so late – had a really busy day, and only just found the time to take photos and post. If you notice the clips on the sides, it’s actually to allow it to connect to the Christmas Wreath holder from Day 3. It’s looking like we’ll be assembling a mini Hall of Armour, but Christmas-themed! The mix of characters has also been great, although it’s sorely missing the first Avengers – Captain America! I do wish we had more seasonal and exclusive variants like Iron Man, but hopefully we’ll get more Christmas-themed Avengers in next year’s calendar, if they decide to continue it.

This micro-version uses upside down dishes for its quad set of turbines which keep these massive ships afloat, and a combination of dark blue and grey elements for the body. Despite being styled an Avengers-themed Advent Calendar, this is really all about Iron Man, with a great mix of micro builds, and also modules and toys from his workshop. This version of Thanos is helmetless, and isn’t exactly exclusive, as he shares the same face and torso as the Thanos minifig from 76170 Iron Man vs. Thanos and Thanos Mech, so great news if you don’t own those 2 sets. This minifigure isn’t an exclusive as this version of Captain Marvel has appeared once in 76152 Avengers Wrath of Loki, so it’s nice to get this version of her, if you missed out on that set, especially as a 4+ set, it isn’t really a set that adults would buy unless they’re Marvel completionists.

Day 1 of the 2021 Marvel Advent Calendar starts off in the strongest way possible – with the most recognisable Avenger, Iron Man aka Tony Stark in a ugly Iron Man-themed Christmas sweater! While I think the technique of using handlebars to attach the engines to the body is quite novel and ingenious, it does look a little imbalanced, and I’m not a fan of how thin the handlebars look. That said, it’s a clever way to elevate the engines, and a fun playable feature is when you can tilt them downwards, so it can land or take off vertically.
