Have you not had one before? I've got the SW one and the City ones again this year! No, this is my first time. This is the first year I've been collecting so never given it any real thought before other than a passing 'Aw, that looks pretty cool.' At least now I have a Lego & other buildables section that it can all go to once built. I also bought the Playmobil Christmas Market for a fiver from TRU earlier in the year so that'll get put together for display in the living room during the Christmas period.

The Lego advent calanders are good fun. I stopped getting them when I stopped doing Christmas but I can heartily recommend them. Never had a 'bad' one.

I enjoyed the 2012 one, but lost interst in the 2013, I still havent opened half of it if I remember correctly.
Skipped last year, but having found a voucher from work was going to buy this years as it wouldnt have cost me anything. But they are no longer available. Instead I am foolishly staring at the new Millenium Falcon set. £120, but with a combination of sale price, staff discount and voucher I can get it for £65ish.
I'd rather not spend that much on a set right now, but will be lucky to get it as cheap again. Decisions decisions.

And ordered, should get it tomorrow.
Id be more excited but as mentioned earlier in the thread, I got the original trilogy version of the set at a car boot sale a few weeks back, way incomplete, but enought to build it up. When spending big money on lego I prefer if its going to be an all new experience. Still a brand new lego Falcon will no doubt make me very happy and by the time I build it I will have seen the new film and hopefully I'll also be happy to own all those new minifigures too.

Lego Advent day 1: City: 2 Remote Control Cars Star Wars: Jabba's Sail Barge My sail barge seems to have a couple of spare parts, an extra grey square from the sides and brown triangle from the front.

There's always spare parts. Start a box. If you're lucky you may even get something useful!

days like today I'm glad I have long nosed pliers, hate attaching those horns to the 1x1 with clip plates!
The clear square on the top corner of today's model is for mounting the sail barge from yesterday on!

I can kind of see his point. It is a bit "hmmm, what is this?". (Am I a bad man that I looked at today's thing and thought "Hopefully those black pillar elements will be in the spare parts service, I could do with some of them for aerial and ER/Heavy/Conventional Large Laser mountings... Still trying to decide how to build my next LEGO Mecha - whether to make it a more vertical main-body - Archer/Spartan look or keep with the hunched-forward Jenner/Kit Fox/Daishi/Stalker aesthetic that is becoming TKO Systems trademark look... Which reminds me - really should get a DA account for some of the pics of the designs. And get the parts to finalise the Polecat. Which brings me back to Antenna Mounts for the advanced communications system... :-) ) Karl

Phil what has led you down this dark path of a City calendar instead of Star Wars?

Today's Lego Star Wars is some sort of Ewok-y tree top thing. I think. Maybe.
