Epitome of Lego's Greed
LegoGuyYYC· Review provided by LEGO · May 30, 2024
This is literally the epitome of the greed of the Lego corporation. In truth, all the Christmas advent calendars are a rip-off, but this one takes the cake.

I believe there are 5 minifigures in here. That's criminally low for a $60 set. And in truth, this set is barely worth $25.

Some of the days were laughably bad. Wow! Doctor Strange's cape! What a great day.

Seriously Lego. Get it together and stop hosing customers, especially with the licensed sets. As it is I will not buy another Marvel set, and have vowed not to buy a Lego set in 2024 as a small protest to the shocking price increases, matched with the shockingly low piece counts.

Don't buy this set. Take the $60 and do something that is actually fun and rewarding and doesn't make you feel like you got ripped off.
Very disappointing for my child

What was Lego thinking when they put together this advent? We’ve bought an advent set for our son for several years now and this set has been a complete disappointment. Half of the builds we had to look up to figure out what they were supposed to be since they had nothing to do with Marvel. A minifigure and its accessories were split into two days twice in this set. There’s a random hockey accessories set, a day with just a tree stand without a tree. The best build was a cool Loki throne but no Loki figure was ever included. The whole advent just felt extremely lazy.
This advent was not only a waste of money but a daily source of disappointment this holiday season. My kid has always loved Lego but this advent was so bad that he didn’t even bother putting a couple of the builds together because of how uninteresting and uncreative they were.
It seems that every year is hit or miss as far which advent theme will be great and which will fall short. The fact that Lego could possibly be the source of disappointment during the holiday season for an 8 year old is just crazy, we won’t be using a Lego advent next year.
Diminishing returns

My partner and I always look forward to opening our advent calendars for the year. I'm a fan of the star wars sets, and she usually gets a marvel one.
This year, the disparity in quality between the two is honestly shocking. The marvel set is sadly lacking in both Minifigure quality and build quality. With close to 100 fewer pieces and days with borderline useless builds such as web accessories, and a single cape piece, the value for money and overall excitement to continue is really low.

Compared to previous years, the disappointment this brought my partner as she enviously eyes mine is sad to see. There's almost a complete lack of MCU related builds, such as iconic vehicles or imagery. Much of the Christmas builds come unwelcomed, as outside of the Christmas tree many don't fit within the marvel theme and are fairly uninspired.

I'd love to see future advent calendars with higher quality, because at this rate we're unlikely to buy another again.
Marvellously Disappointing

I have been a big Lego fan since I was young, this being my first advent calendar I was very excited to see what would lay in store. The minifigs included were really neat, there were a few minor characters that honestly should have been replaced by villains. Also *spoilers ahead * Lego gives you thors hammer on a Christmas mantle, and you would think he would be in the next window but he is nowhere to be found! Some of the builds weren’t builds at all, one day is just Dr Stranges Cape. That’s it. You predictably get him the next day, which is just lazy for a wonderful company like Lego to do to their fans. I believe there were 6 days that are basically tables, one is a gift wrapping station, a dining table, sadly nothing to do with Marvel at all.

I will not be purchasing a Marvel calendar next year, really hoping Lego learns from the really negative reviews this year. Your team can do better, try better next year!
