Did the advent calendars come with building instructions for the individual models? We dragged out ours from 1999 for our son (now 3). I can't find any instructions for it though, but I'm not entirely sure there ever were any. We kept all the (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I wrote LEGO to complain, and they actually refunded my money for the calendar. I didn't expect that... impressive. (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

I had a thought today on my drive home: While I agree that it is dissappointing that Lego made the two calendars identical, I wonder just how many possible, reasonably recognizable models can be built with fewer tan 12 pieces? I suppose this would (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
