2024 LEGO Advent Calendars, Day 21 [Feature]

What’s your favorite holiday sweet? Candy canes? Cookies? Fudge? …Fruit cake? In Denmark, where our Advent Calendars are designed, this is the season for Æbleskiver, which are pancake balls served with jam. Fresh from the griddle at a winter market, there’s nothing better! But the powdered sugar and jam would make for sticky Friends, Disney, City, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Spider-Man!

As ever, our intrepid TBB team is on hand with witty comments, insightful observations, and bad jokes for each day’s builds. And of course, you can add your own thoughts in the comments section each day! So without further ado, let’s crack open the build for day 21…

Friends follows in the footsteps of Spider-Man, Harry Potter, and Disney with its own spin on the cozy fireplace. Disney offers a castle tower with a connection point promising things to come.

From City, a toy soldier with saber and hat. Harry Potter gets a garland, which is also the largest build of the year.

For Spider-Man, a sled in colors to match Green Goblin’s glider from yesterday. Star Wars steers clear of joy with a menacing micro build of Vader’s castle…

Or maybe it’s a Sith starfighter?

Green Goblin’s Sled comes into focus:

 

Maybe it’s just the extra heft, but I’ drawn to the Garland. How about the rest of you?

Theo: That Vader’s Castle (?) is a better Gauntlet fighter than the actual Gauntlet fighter. I spy a multi-day build starting in the Disney calendar, too…

Daniel: Is Green Goblin cosplaying as Krampus with that hover-sleigh? Vader’s castle is nice.

Kyle: So they did make Green Goblin into Santa! I really think he should have a red cap, then. I can’t decide if I like garland or the toy soldier more…

Bre: Not particularly stoked about most of it, but the garland is nice. The toy soldier is growing on me.

Looks like Harry gets the chocolate frog today.

Kyle’s right. A santa hat really does help the Green Goblin costume, so he can “borrow” the one that Olly sewed.

“Sirens ringing, children screaming, all is scary and pain! So jump in bed and cover your head, ’cause Santa’s friend eat your brain! Sing with me, Norman! Be jolly! DO IT, NORMAN!”

What delights will tomorrow bring? Come back tomorrow for six more advent gifts. And be sure to share your thoughts on today’s offerings in the comments!
