Well, folks, Christmas Eve is here and with it comes the end of our 2024 LEGO City Advent Calendar. There's basically no surprise for day 24 if you've built previous year's calendars but I'll use my usual spoiler-free image just in case.
Yep, today we get the big man himself, Mr. Claus.
I do wish Santa came with some sort of more unique accessory but overall I can't complain about getting Santa on day 24. I think it's a fitting ending to the calendar, even if it isn't exactly a surprise anymore. No way to give this one anything less than a 4 out 5 so that's what I'll do.
2024 LEGO City Calendar score: 92/120
2023 LEGO City Calendar score: 90.5/120
I went back and looked at last year's calendar score and it's essentially a tie with this year's version. I might have been slightly more generous on the Santa figure this year (last year's Santa only got a 3 out of 5 despite being virtually the same figure with the same accessory). All told, a solid calendar that could have been great had a few of the days been fleshed out a bit better. The minifigures were wonderful this year, easily the highlight of the entire calendar in my book!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone. I do hope to continue posting here with more LEGO related goodies next year, please keep checking in!
If you write them (Lego posts)... I'll read them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
