Do you hear that, readers? That’s the sound of Christmas getting ever closer! And what better way to count down to the big day than with day 21 of TBB’s LEGO advent calendar roundup? That’s just what we’re doing, so why not join us as we open up the City, Friends, Star Wars, Harry Potter and Marvel calendars on offer this year?

As ever, our intrepid TBB team is on hand with witty comments, insightful observations, and bad jokes for each day’s builds. And of course, you can add your own thoughts in the comments section each day! So without further ado, let’s crack open the build for day 21…

After nearly a week without one, City ends its minifigure drought in style with a snowboarding Mrs. Claus! The presence of train tracks on the Friends ‘playmat’ suggested we’d get a train at some point, and the locomotive is here today.

The Harry Potter advent calendar has been pretty light on antagonists, but we do get Draco Malfoy today to provide a bit of snark. Emperor Palpatine’s throne is the Star Wars build, while Marvel’s dinner table looks awfully similar to one we got in another calendar on day 18…

Lino: OK, hear me out; Grannies on Snowboards! We could make a mint in the US market alone.

Kye: Lino, granny plans to break hips and records at the next Winter Olympics.

Bart: Granny looks good but so does Draco!

Ben: Mrs Claus looks great, and a snowboarder! Who knew?

We’re getting an awful lot of thrones across the calendars this year…

Daniel: I love the Emperor’s throne but surely they could have added a pine sprig to make it more festive.

In 1983 that chair of Palpatine was probably seen as a slightly mad high-tech throne, but these days it just looks like another gaming chair. Mighty comfy!
