Description

24 doors, 24 mini builds

As with LEGO advent calendars generally, each door hides a small model or accessory that together form a winter scene from the Friends world. Rather than one large set, this creates many small building projects spread across the month, gradually coming together into one larger picture. Checking the full parts list on this page makes it easy to see how the different colours and shapes come together in the finished model. The finished model can then be placed flexibly on a shelf or desk, regardless of whether other sets from the same range are already on display.

Colours and part variety

White, Red, Dark Pink and Reddish Brown give it a warm, festive colour scheme suited to winter. Of the 210 pieces, 129 are unique parts and colours, a very high proportion for the piece count, reflecting the variety of the 24 mini builds, visible in the parts list on this page. For collectors who already own similar sets, the combination of theme and piece count is a fairly natural reason to add this one to the shelf. Anyone still deciding can check the full list of colours and shapes used on this page for a closer look before buying.

Three minifigures for winter scenes

Three minifigures come with the calendar and fit into the winter mini scenes, adding role-play elements to the daily building. They appear spread across several doors rather than all being available at once. The build itself offers enough variety to keep even an experienced builder engaged for a short session, without feeling overly complicated.

For children and collectors

The calendar suits both children counting down to the holidays and collectors who value small sets and minifigures. After the holidays, the individual pieces combine easily with other Friends builds rather than sitting unused. Compared with other sets of similar size, it's clear how much detail has been packed into a fairly limited piece count.
