Looking Back!

Anyway, for me the standout calendar this year is probably the Harry Potter calendar. Nary a misfired minibuild and a lot of minifigs with unique prints, that still wouldn’t be so Christmas-coded as they’d be useless outside a Christmas setting… Named one of Oprah's favorite things of 2022, Sterling Forever's Five Days of Hoops calendar completes your outfits with beautiful silver or gold hoops.

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. 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. Ollivander’s– At the risk of spoilers, this is the first build in the advent calendar, and it is incredibly difficult to build from the tiny image in the door. The picture is far too small to allow you to tell what is going on, and it is likely to cause frustration for all builders, not just those at the low-end of the 7+ recommendation. Further, it was not immediately recognizable to us based on seeing the films (and playing the LEGO games), but it is a passable representation when looking at photos of the real thing.
