City Advent Calendar 2015

The City Advent Calendar 60099 from 2015 packs 6 minifigures into just 278 pieces, a higher figure count than most sets of similar size. Behind its 24 doors are small vehicles, equipment and festive City-themed scenes rather than one single model. Black, white, reddish brown and green make up most of the palette, fitting the wintry setting these calendars are built around.

Description

Built one door at a time

Unlike a standard set that gets built in one sitting, an advent calendar spreads its 278 pieces across 24 small daily portions. Each door reveals a short building step, sometimes a vehicle part, sometimes a piece of equipment, occasionally a minifigure, rather than a slice of one continuous model. That format is what sets calendars apart from regular City sets, and it is part of why they work well for children: a new, small, achievable goal appears every day through December instead of one long build to get through at once.

Six figures, one wintry setting

Six minifigures for 278 pieces is a generous ratio, and they typically appear behind the later doors alongside the small vehicle and prop pieces that make up the rest of the set. Together they build up a handful of winter-themed City moments, things like snow clearing, holiday preparation or small street scenes, rather than one large scene. For anyone who already owns other City sets, these figures and props slot straight into an existing collection; for newcomers, the calendar is a low-cost way to add several different minifigures at once.

Colours worth keeping for other builds

The 139 different part types lean heavily on black, white, reddish brown and green, a classic combination for winter roads, trees and buildings. That makes the pieces useful well beyond the calendar itself, for example to extend an existing City winter scene. The full parts list on this page breaks down exactly which colours and shapes are included, so specific bricks can be tracked down for other projects without having to open every door again.

Why advent calendars are worth collecting

LEGO advent calendars are released fresh every year, usually with a different mix of minifigures, vehicles and small props from the year before. That makes each edition, including this 2015 City calendar with its 278 pieces and 6 minifigures, a self-contained set rather than a direct substitute for any other year. Anyone who owns several years' worth of City calendars can combine the figures and vehicle parts from each into a larger winter scene, rather than treating every calendar as an isolated set. It is one reason these calendars tend to hold their appeal well beyond the December they were designed for.
