I love the Lego presents...has anyone here ever purchased the Lego advent calendar? Reviews on Amazon seem spilt...some really liked it, others not so much. DS(5) saw it in the store the other day and was drooling.
I JUST purchased it, (Target has it on sale for $31.something LOL, and there is a $5 off coupon in their toy catalog, or available online, so I paid $26 for it)
I obviously have not opened it to give a FULL review but I think my son will love it, His birthday is on Thanksgiving and he wrote a letter to Santa asking if his elf, Elvin could come for his LEGO birthday, so Elvin is comming and the advent calendar will be his bday gift from Elvin, I've debated buying one for my 12 year old too, but I've decided to make my own and buy him some of the sets to use in it, and.... I'm going to go in their lego stash to pick out pieces to make some cute Christmas figures to add to it, I'm pretty sure they will never notice with ALL the legos we have LOL.
I really like the original lego present idea, you could also take one of the flat green pieces and build around it to hide a small treat inside of it for them to open
