Count Down to Christmas LEGO Advent Calendar Style!

by Thita (admin) on December 21, 2023

Many LEGO fans are now counting down the days to Christmas with the LEGO Advent Calendar sets. As you probably know already, these sets have little windows for each day of December with pieces for a small build inside. This year, we got five LEGO Advent Calendar sets from various LEGO themes: the #60381 LEGO City Advent Calendar for $34.99, the #41758 LEGO Friends Advent Calendar for $34.99, the #76418 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar for $44.99, the #76267 LEGO Marvel Avengers Advent Calendar for $44.99, and the #75366 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar for $44.99. You can find them all at the seasonal items section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Some LEGO fans liked building one LEGO set a day leading up to Christmas, but they wanted something more substantial than the small builds in the LEGO Advent Calendars. For example, the #21330 LEGO Ideas Home Alone set comes with 24 bags, and it’s even Christmas-themed, so it’s perfect for such a project.

LEGO fan tj.bricky compiled a list of sets that come with 24 bags (or something close to it) for those who would like to build a larger set during the Holidays. Take a look at the list below.

LEGO SETS WITH 23 BAGS:

#21344 LEGO Ideas Orient Express

LEGO SETS WITH 22 BAGS:

LEGO SETS WITH 21 BAGS:

If you’re up for a bigger challenge, the following large sets will let you work on about 2 bags a day during December leading up to Christmas. The #10316 LEGO Lord of the Rings Rivendell set comes with 49 bags, the #75367 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Venator comes with 48 bags, the #10294 LEGO Icons Titanic comes with 46 bags, the #76405 LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Collectors Edition comes with 45 bags, and for the biggest challenge, the #10307 LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower comes with 74 bags or just about 3 bags per day.

Besides being a festive occasion, building large LEGO sets one bag at a time lets you savor the experience without getting fatigued. What do you think? Have you considered building larger LEGO sets one bag at a time during the holidays? Are there any other LEGO sets you can think of that would work well for the occasion?

LEGO Ideas Announcement: Two More Sets Coming!

in Community News

Over the past months, the LEGO Ideas review board evaluated 71 record-breaking product ideas that reached 10,000 supporters between early January 2023 and early May 2023. Yesterday, LEGO Ideas Community Activation Manager Hasan Jensen, and LEGO Ideas Marketing Manager Michelle Ta announced that two of the projects were approved to become LEGO Ideas sets. Below are the details.

The first project selected from this round to become an official LEGO Ideas set is the Twilight: Cullen House by LEGO fan Nick Micheels (a.k.a. LobsterThermidor). Having only recently come out of his dark ages to re-enter the LEGO hobby a few years ago, Nick has quickly developed his talents as a skilled builder. Similarly, Nick became a huge Twilight fan as an adult and was inspired to create this impressive LEGO replica of the iconic Cullen family house. His design included a brick-built wolf and of course, some of the main characters in minifigure likeness so you can replay your favorite scenes from the movie. If you’d like to learn more about Nick Micheels then make sure to check out his 10K Club Interview.

The second project selected from this round to become an official LEGO Ideas set is The Botanical Garden by LEGO fan Valentina Bima (a.k.a. Goannas89). The LEGO Ideas team was not really that surprised when they learned that Valentina was an architect because her creation shows the level of detail one would expect from an industry professional. From the beautiful replica cast iron arches to the playful scenes of the minifigures and variety of flora. You can learn more about Valentina and how her design came to be via her 10K Club Interview.

The LEGO Ideas team is still working out the final product design, pricing, and availability for these sets, so stay tuned for further updates. In addition, the LEGO Ideas review board has already been working hard to review the next round of 10K product ideas consisting of 49 submissions. These all hit 10,000 supporters between early May 2023 and early September 2023. They will share the results of the Second 2023 LEGO review period in early 2024. You can check them out on this LEGO Ideas page.

Also, there are still 7 fan creations that have already been approved and are in various stages of development. They will be launching at different points in the future. And for the currently available LEGO Ideas sets originally submitted by LEGO fans, visit the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.
