LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar 2022 76231 Building Set (268 Pieces)

This is my first Lego Advent Calendar product and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time going through the little compartments and building (most of) the contents. If not for the quite high MSRP, I would recommend this wholeheartedly to any Lego fan regardless of age. As it stands, the most I can say is TRY to save some money by finding this on sale and THEN it will be a good, fun buy. Also: the minifigure selection is *chef's kiss* perfection! The new Teen Groot print is absolutely beautiful and full of detail, and the holiday sweater characters are a hit as always. The "rocket sleigh" model which is spread across 3 different calendar days (4 if you consider the Rocket minifig part of it -- and 5 or 6 days if you count Rocket's blaster plus the turkey he cooks with it!) is an absolutely incredible idea for connecting these small, spread-out builds into a larger, more meaningful play experience. When I imagined the joy and anticipation a child would feel from opening 5 or 6 different days worth of builds, spread gradually through the month, and FINALLY after a few weeks being able to piece together the entire sleigh model, it made me want to pick up another of these sets for my own child to enjoy this holiday season. Unfortunately he is still too young, but it's definitely something I'll remember for the future!

Re Jane's review on December 19th - it looks like I got your turkey :) I had two Day 23's. I didn't get the candy cane on Day 15. I don't want it badly enough to sort through 172 pieces on the missing pieces website. I enjoyed the set but someone at Lego really needs to look into why so many of us are getting mixed up sets.
