That strange noise you hear is the sound of Christmas getting ever closer! And what better way to count down to the big day than with day 6 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 6… We’ve already had snowmen in two of the five advent calendars so far, and Friends gets in on the act today.

Five siblings attending a LEGO convention together is one of those things, so when that happened to us at Brickworld Chicago earlier this year, we knew the achievement called for a big collaboration. But there was a hitch. You might know that my family lives in South America. You almost certainly are aware that air travel is not known for its friendliness to LEGO creations. Besides, with the size of collaboration we were going for, there’d hardly have been enough room in our luggage! Enter the amazingly generous LEGO community, which helped us raise money through a GoFundMe. Dozens of PAB cups and BrickLink orders later, we had the bricks we needed to build a show stopper. But bricks are only half the battle. Finding a strong concept for our collaboration was...
