This is our 2nd year purchasing a non-traditional Advent calendar. My 5 year old son is absolutely loving this Lego City one and, as a mom, I'm loving watching him wake up every morning excited to discover which piece is waiting behind that little cardboard door for him to build! This Lego Advent calendar will be a new tradition for years to come. If you love Lego like my son, I don't think you'll ever outgrow this 24 days of fun each year no matter how small or simple the builds are!! I honestly didn't expect him to play with the box as much as he has. It's just a cardboard flap that folds down to lay in front of the top of the box where each numbered door is to open. That flap becomes the ground (with roads, parking lots, snow, etc...) that completes the entire Lego City scene for him to set up the pieces he's built and let his imagination run wild. If I had to come up with one negative thing, it would be that the only instruction provided is a tiny single picture on the inside of the door to each build. Yes, the builds are simple and don't involve more than roughly 20 pieces, but if you're the type of person who needs step-by-step instructions (like my 5 year old) then you're left to search the internet. One of the best things I like about him building regular Lego sets is that he can sit down and independently follow the book and complete the build on his own. It boosts his confidence in himself and it's rewarding for him to do it on his own and makes him beam with pride. It's not a deal breaker for this calendar, of course, but it would be awesome if Lego could find a way to include supplemental instructions. Other than that, I have nothing but positive things to say about this item. Please be smart and buy early. They do sell out!! I was lucky enough to find a seller listing the item at a fair price, but I saw so many people marking them up crazy high to take advantage!! :( Sad.Read full review

A big smile by Granddaughter as she opened this gift. She laughed at the Santa Clause and couldn't wait to build such a unique variety of Legs
